HI All,
Id appreciate some advise in relation to shopping for diamonds in new york, Im from ireland and i am planing on travelling to new york in oct to buy an engagemnet ring with my girlfriend, she is keen on a three stone platinum. I have priced rings with 1.65c F Vs2 Triple ex 0.75 F Vs2 Triple ex side stones all GIA and found prices in new york much cheaper.
Until coming accross this website i thought it may have been possible to travel for 5 days pick out 3 stones get them mounted and come home safe in the knowledge i had bought a GIA certified stone with triple excellent cut and that the fact it was GIA certifed excellent cut it was going to be the best cut possible.....???Now im not sure,
should i be looking for hearts and arrows specifically as i want the stones to look the best they can. Or should i be just going on measurements rather than jsut GIA telling me the cut is excellent. It seems Hearts and arrows can be harder to come accross and i could be taken advantage of when i would be in a rush to purchase.
I could buy in tiffanys but they seem way over priced but id at least have some piece of mind
I wonder does anyone have any ideas to help
Thanks
Rodney
