HELP! I am close to buying this....

[jdsshady]

....ring i found on blue nile. Please have a look and offer me some feedback. Is the I-color too low? Can I trust BN''s "signiture ideal cut?" Should i go to a different online retailer? I chose BN because the offer good financing (9%)...

Any feedback offered would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

hmmm..i copied and pasted the link you have listed but all I got was BN''s diamond search page, which didn''t help!
Can you provide the specs from the BN site on the diamond you''re looking at? There are a lot of really great people here with a lot of knowledge available to help you out!

that link just put me on the build your own ring page. Any othe way of seeing what you''re asking about?

If your top priority is sparkle, are you sure you want a princess cut? Ideal cut rounds will give you more sparkle for your money.

Since I don''t know how much your heart is set on a princess, here''s a round to consider. This will give you amazing sparkle.

9% is a good rate?

there''re many cc with a lower rate.

 

[f0rbidden]

I''m not a fianancing of diamonds expert, but if you check out www.diamondsonweb.com they offer a ''buy now pay later'' option - you put 25% down and then finance the rest over a 6 month period (I think) and the interest rate ends up being something around 4%. of course, you have to be able to pay the purchase off in that period of time.

A couple of the other company''s online offer Chase''s "billmelater" option, which I believe you can find out more about at www.billmelater.com

We''re using a layaway program for my ring - no interest at all, and if you are able to pay off your purchse in about a 90 days period, that might be a good low-cost finance option as well.

thanks for the reply''s... we are set on princess cut, and the 9.9% at bn is better than bill me later, which after 90 days goes to 17.99%... i''ll need about 12 mos to pay off the financed amount, so 17.99% is out of the question....

about the diamond... is the I-color too low for a princess cut in platinum? will this ring have good fire and sparkle, or can i do better in a princess for the money?
