First time posting so if I broke any forum rules please let me know
I found and purchased an engagement ring setting from Shane Co. recently and have been looking for a diamond. I saw another thread talking about whether or not to buy the diamond from shane co. or an online store. Shane co of course told me that it would be a bad idea to buy a diamond online, however when looking they seem to be a lot cheaper for a similar diamond at blue nile than shane co. I am looking for a emerald cut diamond with a carat size from .90 to 1.12, it just seems super overwhelming since its a big purchase. My budget for the diamond maxes out at around 5k, here are some diamonds I was looking at...I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the difference and the better way to go?
One of the reasons I am leaning towards paying more at shane co is because they will replace the diamond if it falls out, I can get a bigger diamond in it if I pay at least a dollar more than the one before, and its all in house in one spot. I have also heard the setting costs between $1-$3 per point for the setting if you get the diamond elsewhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
