Please Help :) Newbie buying a diamond

[NewbieDiamondSeeker]

Hello everyone,

I am currently seeking a diamond, I have contacted a couple of online vendors (Blue Nile and B2C Jewels) and I found that B2C Jewels has a diamond that I am very interested in.

However, I am quite skeptical about using bank wire.

What do you guys think? Is B2C Jewels an established and legit business? I really hate to have my hard-earned money scammed. Please advise.



Side Note: Both Blue Nile and B2C Jewels were very helpful in my diamond selection process)

If you are having any doubts at all, can you use a credit card for the payment? Because for a bank wire, once it leaves your bank, it's gone. It's just like cash in that way. For credit cards, you get that extra protection, and sometimes if you get credit card points, any benefit that a bank wire price has becomes negligible.

PS: I have not done business from B2C before and I never heard anything about them being a non-legit business, but I would recommend the above advice to anyone who is worried about a bank wire with any business.

Thanks for the reply. I don't get credit card points and my credit card company charges extra for currency exchange. So, bank wire is quite a bit cheater (5%), which is significant in such a big purchase.

As long as I will receive the right diamond and ring, I will be very happy. However, I am very skeptical....I guess I will be like this until it arrives...



Anyone else with any experience with B2C Jewels, can I trust their bank wire?
