I found a great ring at local store, but when I took the ring outside the diamond looked dull. I found a great diamond at dirt cheap diamonds, posted the stats on this site and recieved some very helpful comments. I ordered the diamond that day, and was looking at a beautiful diamond by 11 am the next day. I took it to the jeweler and compared the stones side by side. larger, prettier, 2000 dollars cheaper. The jeweler commented on the great cut. He did find a diamond that looked as good, but out of my price range. the dirt cheap diamond is being placed in the setting and I''m engaged. I was very nervous about buying over the internet, but now I would do it again in a second. thank you pricescope for the education and advise. kenco
