I''ve been lurking around here for a few weeks now. I went to a local B&M, and they didn''t have the quality of stone i preferred.
Heres my background:
grad student w/ a boatload of debt
looking to spend between $2000-2400 on ring/ stone
I''ve been eying this diamond for a while:
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/3888/
Though, James Allen seems to have much cheaper diamonds that seem better. Can these be compared?
http://www.jamesallen.com/diamonds/D-VVS2-Ideal-Cut-Round-Diamond-1104468.asp
Secondly,
I would like to get the diamond mounted locally. I''m in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, and not sure if local jewelers will mount someone else''s diamond.
If they will, who will, and how much should i expect to pay for the mounting... Am I better off just getting it mounted online? Or does that make the appraisal more expensive?
Thanks-
David
