As requested, I am going to tell the story of my OEC. It is a cautionary tale, full of things one should not do!
In my defense, I was a lapsed PS reader at the time I started in pursuit of a bigger, better OEC. I had a lovely .57 oec engagement ring, I VS2, from my DH. I had a windfall, and wanted to upgrade my ring. We had found my previous diamond at a pawn shop, but I doubted I could find a 3 carat that way, and I knew from previous experience that my size 8 finger suits a 3 carat.
I started my search and found what I thought was the perfect ring on The Real Real. Did I ask for feedback? Nope. I just scooped it up, thinking it was a find!
