Hey guys how are you going? Long time lurker first time poster.
I just received my ring from jamesallen.com which I am going to propose with at the end of October and I am a bit concerned and need some peace of mind.
I for the following rock from JA and setting:
http://www.jamesallen.com/engagemen...d-baguette-diamond-engagement-ring-item-1023
http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/emerald-cut/0.70-carat-f-color-vvs1-clarity-sku-627476
total price was $5500 plus taxes.
Now i've always read that the valuation that comes from JA always comes in higher but on this ring it came in lower - at $5200!!!! that $300 less PLUS i had to pay another $600 in taxes to get it here to Australia! So thats nearly $1k less!
I am booking it in for a indep appraisal but given that I have booked everything for the proposal in a less then 4 weeks time I am pretty nervous right now that i have monumentally stuffed this purchase. The ring looks great though....
Should i be worried?
