Need help with first time ebay purchase // diamondsforgood9

[missceo1228]

I have a decision made on my wedding band for my October 5th wedding. I know I want round diamond, prong set, U shaped prongs in white gold. To have the ring I want custom made by a local shop it would be about $2500.

I found this band on eBay that looks like what I want and with bigger stones than I had planned. Seem too good to be true? I have never ordered anything from eBay so I thought I would reach out to all of you PS'ers and see if anyone knew this shop or had any advice. They do have a 30 day return policy. And below is a picture of my E ring for good measure. She's a beauty (and those are sapphires on the band)

Thank you all!

Hi there!!
Okay, so my best advice would be to definitely DO YOUR HOMEWORK on this company before you commit to buying anything. I recently went through the same dilemma. My boyfriend and I were looking for an engagement ring and found several that I liked on eBay and the prices were amazing...like you said, almost too good to be true! Anyways, I found a company that guaranteed returns with 14 days, etc so that seemed great as well and they also provided a certificate with the diamond. Well, I noticed that the certificate was coming from a company that I had not heard of. It was not one of the big, well known companies like IGA. So I started doing some research and I could not find anything on this "so-called" company except for their website. I even searched for "has anyone heard of this company?" and it rendered NO results. On the website, I went to their contact information page which provided an email that they could be reached at. When I tried to email them, I received a message saying my email could not be delivered to the recipient, meaning it was not a valid email address. When I reached out to the diamond company that I was going to purchase from and explained all of this, their only explanation was that it was well known company in Europe and has recently changed their name. UMMMM why would a well known company change their name??? Things just were not adding up.

SO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Check everything! And ask questions!! I would also recommend calling the phone number that is listed on their website and see what happens. When I called the number on the website I was going to use, it rang for a long time and then a messaging system came up in a different language. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Please see above link to their ebay record. These are just the negatives. See the neutrals as well. IMO, I would not purchase from them.
The experts on here will be able to direct you to other sellers who sell similar rings and are much more reliable.

They have over 3000 positive comments which is good, however I have suggestion, I think your ring looks small when compare it with
the band, I would suggest something little small, like below:

Yes, for a good quality ring.
