Need some feedback from the "experts" here...I'm a complete novice. I learned about diamonds in the last 2 months of searching for the perfect stone and setting online.
My budget is less than $10,000 for diamond and setting, wow didn't really know how expensive diamonds were until I entered a jewelry store. After looking online stores I came across a local seller in the Jewelers Row Downtown Chicago District that had a beautiful ring for sale at an affordable price!!
Made an appointment I saw the ring today and he educated me on diamonds and the four C's. He made it known that the center stone diamond is clarity enhanced. The ring absolutely sparkled under the florescent light and only from looking underneath the diamond on one side I can see an imperfection of a lil black line almost look like a piece of black lint. From afar or from the top of the diamond you can not see it at all, only from underneath looking up on the side you can see it with the naked eye up close.
Now that he was honest about that he mentioned this is appraised by UGL (which I never heard of). I told him I planned to get a second independent appraisal if I bought the ring and he offered a 3 day money back guarantee if I wasn't happy with 2nd appraisal / opinion. He will document all this in receipt and also provided other guarantees for life on ring:
-We guarantee the enhancement process in the unlikely event the enhancement is altered we will re-enhance your diamond for FREE for life.
-We offer FREE ring sizing for life.
-We offer FREE repair on the rings we sell. (including free diamond accents if the ones on the side ever fall off)
Best part all this for only $7,000!! The specs are below please tell me if I should walk away from deal and why. If you have personal experence from CE diamonds please let me know.
Thank you
