Hi everyone,
First time posting here, but I have been lurking for awhile. I have been checking prices on the net for loose stones on Blue Nile and Mondera. I have also been checking prices at Costco, both online and at my local store. It seems that Costco sells set diamond rings for a bit less than loose diamonds with relatively the same specs on Blue Nile and Mondera.
Is there something I am missing here, or am I better off to buy a ring from Costco and have it reset if the future fiance doesn't like the setting? I know that Costco generally is a safe buy, but is it a BETTER buy??
Also, another question for any Canucks out there. Am I better off to buy my loose diamond in Canada, where I can inspect it before I buy it, and pay the GST/PST, or am I better off buying the diamond in the U.S. with the high exchange rates?
Any advice would be helpful...
Thanks All!!!
