I've decided to search for buying stones online since I can save on exorbitant California sales taxes. Does anyone have referrals for good online jewelers outside California? I'm looking for something in the 1.4-1.6 carat, E-G color, VVS2 - VS2 range, and I'm looking to spend around $11,000 (this was a rough guess based on looking up pricescope.com's price finder, if I'm way off in either direction please let me know). Having a stone with a good cut is also important, but I haven't figured out what to look for regarding cut (H&A? AGS 0?) so I didn't mention anything?
Also, anything I should know about buying from an online jeweler? Some preliminary questions I had were: do they offer a refund if my fiancee doesn't like it? what happens if it gets lost during shipping? how can I guarantee I'm getting the stones as advertised rather than a bait and switch?
Thanks,
