Hello! I live in Vancouver and have been looking at the various e-tailors out there and have come up with my top 3 and wanted your opinion on them. I also have a question about certificates.
First tho, I am looking around a 0.75, G, SI1 Ideal cut diamond.
If you have any comments on the following vnedors I would appreciate it:
#1 - Diacan.com
~ These guys have the lowest prices on the Net but use Gem Scan certificates which seem very unreliable according to posts. Should I skip these guys because of the cert''s?
#2 - Bluenile.com
~ Have GIA and AGS Cert''s and seem very Canadian friendly. Decent prices. The one issue is having it shipped from the US to Canada. Does anyone have any experience with this?
#3 - Whiteflash.com
~ All cert''s. Seem to have good customer support and good prices. Once again, shipping across the boarder. Although I read someone actually went and drove to the States and picked it up at the Fed Ex office and avoided customs alltogether. Comments?
Finally, how concerned should I be about certificates? The general consensus is go with GIA or AGS. Should I ignore all others?
Thanks for all your help!
