We saw some nice engagement rings in London on the weekend but I am troubled by two questions...
1. Are there big differences in diamond retail prices across countries? I imagine a lot of the London retail price is linked to London being expensive and was wondering if South Africa, Belgium, Asia, Australia, US or elsewhere might be better value. I travel a lot... should I be looking elsewhere??
2. Our favourite was an eternity setting but the baguettes in it were too small for GIA gradings. It was the price of a good 1.1 carat single stone and Im concerned about spending all that money without knowing exactly what I''m getting. Any advice for how to get some peace of mind?
thanks & regards to all...
