Reputable Dealers for Engagement Ring

[asiansunsetboy]

Hello PS,
I been reading this site for a while now. And most people tend to go with whiteflash. But their stock of diamonds in the D-G, VVS2-VS2, Ideal, and .80-.99ct has been nothing. I don't know if the market isn't that great or something. But is there other sites people recommend that are good dealers? I prefer ideal cut or H&A.

Thanks.

I'm sure I'm missing some...

And don't limit yourself - H is still white, and there are many many eye-clean SI1's out there!

Just a quick search on GOG - this is a beauty!

Does anyone recommend BlueNile?

Are they a reputable company?

Thanks

Not sure how you define "reputable." Basically, all vendors here will send you the stone you buy; they all have different policies. Blue Nile has a good return policy and if you want to upgrade, you can put 100% of the cost of the diamond toward a future purchase.

here are some worth considering (cheapest to most expensive):

Blue Nile is reputable, but offers limited information to the customer. You're basically buying blind apart from the GIA cert, and if they send you something you don't like, you forfeit the shipping costs both ways (as well as the dreaded "other fees"). James Allen tends to be competitive price-wise, and will provide ASET/Idealscope images upon request. They also cover shipping in both directions should you not like the stone. Lastly, you've got 60 days to return with JA instead of 30 with BN. There's just a lot less risk with JA. See another recent thread about JA for someone's favorable experience with them.
