duh...
For some reason I thought the ring you have now is from WF- but it is from dimend scaasi.
You know, maybe it is my imagination, but I am not sseing the big gap between B&M prices and online prices that I saw a couple years ago.
When I did my upgrade recently with a local B&M, the cost was virtually the same to me (factoring the trade-in value) whether I worked with an internet vendor or the B&M. (I could have sold my stone to Jim Schultz at James Allen and bought one from him- but since I live in the same state as him, I would have paid sales tax there, too.)
Of course, I had to pay sales tax at the B&M.
AND, BIG DIFFERENCE- if you are buying without any trade-in stone, the internet is still way cheaper.
I might have to join your indecisive club, ds.
The more I look at my 1.20 G, the more I can see that the cut does not display crisp H&A. It is an AGS0 and it sparkles, but .... I am off to do more reading about idedal cuts.
I do have a generous time frame to make another trade, so,,,, what the heck.
