Hi all, I am a diamond newbie but getting up to speed. 
I'm planning to buy my engagement ring online from Quality Diamonds in London. A couple questions:
- First, is Quality Diamonds a reputable vendor?
- Is it OK for a customer to request an Idealscope of the diamond he/she is considering?
- Is it OK for a customer to request to see GIA barcode under a microscope, when he/she is collecting the item? (to verify that the stone you are getting is really the stone you want)
- I will be choosing the diamond online without seeing it in flesh (only relying on GIA report). What problems can I run into? What should I do? IS this a good idea?
