Me & the b/f went to several B&Ms to try diff. settings, see variations of diamonds, etc. At one store the person was great & seemed to know diamonds. I told her I was willing to go low on color and clarity (thanks to my PS edu
) there were only 3-4 diamonds she had to show me. Most of what they had were all D-F, VS1 & up. I know for some, thats what they want for various reasons, but all I could think about were those that have been told thats the *only* way to go, anything less is crap and pay all that extra $$! She did say that if we gave her specs, she could bring in stones. So good exp., but know how much cheaper diamonds are on PS!
At another store, the person was... WHOA!!! First thing she said was “I see you shop here a lot, youve got a lot of our great items.” Insulted! The two items I had on were both custom-made by a small store where I grew up & included my grandmothers opal!!! After asking what size diamond I wanted (.8-1 ct) she said, “oh, thats WAY too small. We''ll make him buy a big one!" Insulted! Then when I turned one of the diamonds to the side to check color (it faced up white, but the side was pretty yellow) she accused me of looking at the price & said it wasnt my business to know the price! Insulted! Hated it, will NEVER go back!!!
Just sharing some Friday humor!
