So,I have three pairs of diamond stud earrings from a maul store. (pre-pricescope) this store has a trade-up policy. Because I no longer wear three sets of earrings simultaneously, I decided to look into the trade-in to try and get some bigger stones.
I was told that I1 meant that you COULDN''T see anything with the naked eye. So, as I casually mention that I see a couple clouds in the stone, she tells me I''m looking TOO closely. When judging a diamond, I shouldn''t hold it that close to my eye! Then I was told that H-I colors were as good as it gets. Then when I asked to see the certs, I was told that I wouldn''t know how to read them. So, I get one of the certs and it doesn''t have any table, crown, pavilion, depth listed. (what kind of cert is that?!?!) So, I ask if they have that info. I was then told that those numbers DON''T MATTER. "At least not on rounds!" So, I''m trying not to chuckle as she hands me 1.5ctw I1 H-I stones with a price tag of $5999!! My husband smiles endearingly, says "no-thanks" and we walk out of the store giggling.
Every time I walk out of one of these Maul Stores, i wonder, will one ever be staffed with people who have a clue? There must be intelligent staffers somewhere? Or, have they all moved on to becoming our beloved vendors??
Now, what to do with my earrings?!?
