So, my girlfriend of 9 years finally deserves an upgrade in status!
first question, after going through some of the friend connections who have family members who are diamond wholesalers, i realized that there are better deals to find a diamond online. The diamond i almost bought was a 1.52ca, round Ideal cut hearts and arrows, SI2 that looked great, EGL cert and color F. After reading on the forums about EGL certs, i decided to stay away from diamonds with that cert.
How safe is it to buy a certified diamond online without being able to see it? I would plan to find a local jeweler to mount the diamond in LA.
Now for a diamond search, what I know I want is a round ideal cut diamond, F or better in color and SI2 or better in clarity. heres the specs of one that i found online that may be a good deal.what do you think, what do you recommend?
PRICE- 8600 good?
