My boyfriend and I are hoping to buy our diamond soon. Been looking at a few places and will probably go with a referral from a friend on a place that sells "wholesale priced" diamonds. I'm wondering about the 'etiquette' of price negotiation. Does one negotiate prices on jewellery especially diamonds, or expect to pay the asking price??
Oops. more more thing, is an 'ideal' cut diamond always H & A or is that not true? Do you have to specifically ask for a H & A diamond? If a GIA report doesn't mention cut, how do I find out if it's an ideal cut diamond? Can I trust them if the store appraisal says its an ideal cut?
Thanks alot guys!!
