Is ABAZIAS a good option to buy from?

[tequilaman]

According to what I have read from some of you, I always hear about BN, GOG or White Flash, but what about Abazias?

They are a trusted Pricescope vendor, so I believe that they would provide you with the quality service and product that you are looking for. If you buy from them, please post and tell us how you came out.

Good Luck

I''ve appraised many Abazias diamonds, and have always been impressed with both the company and their merchandise.

No, BN. BN appears to have an arrangement with the company that cuts these making it difficult for many other online sellers to list them. I've looked at a couple of these stones, they can be quite nice.

By the way, I want to echo Rich's positive statement about Abazias. There are reasons you might use a different seller for certain items (e.g. branded AGS round, Asscher specialist, need for more pre-sale info) but I found Abazias to be highly efficient and professional, David in particular. Of all the sellers here I found Abazias to be one of the most efficient getting me information about things I asked about and one of the most efficient processing a return.

A number of sellers here have taken 3+ days to respond when asked to call in a $20K stone (yes, over the phone not email, seller not supplier delay), taken over two weeks to cut a check on a return, etc. - common hazards of a high-volume low-margin internet business model I think. No such issues with Abazias though.

Yes, Abazias is very quick with information, even if you email them. David was my sales associate and he was very prompt, efficient and pleasant to work with and I believe he is very trustworthy on giving advice on particular stones. I don''t believe they have a trade up policy anymore, so that may be a concern if you are buying with the intent to upgrade later.

I found Abazias 10 day return policy to be unapropiate for my situation living in Mexico. Many thanks for your comments.

Tell them your situation and ask them to extend their policy to 30 days.

yeah, it never hurts to ask a business to work with you at your needs!

In the past I''ve inquired about stones & have had quick & friendly responses from them. One thing to keep in mind, apart from their Couples stones, a lot of their inventory is virtual & if you compare apples to apples in regards to pricing, theirs always runs higher. I dont believe they offer an PS discount either. And be sure that you at least have an upgrade option buffer if you plan to use one or not. Most vendors here do.
