Hello All!
So I stumbled upon this website when I was googling concerns about Vera Wang and Neil Lane engagement rings. I found a Neil Lane ring from Kay that I love but when I asked the sales associate for the grade/quality ratings he said that Neil Lane doesn't certify his diamonds. I was confused and in turn ended up here.
The ring I'm interested in is a oval center diamond with double halo and a split band with diamonds when it nears the center of the ring. It is priced at $4,249 and total carat weight is 1ct. Side note: when I told the guy that was helping me at Kay about the Vera Wang quality grade at Zales he told me that often times Zales lies about their certifications/numbers.
So the Vera Wang ring I like is very similar but it is a 3/4 ct and doesn't have a double halo (single halo instead) and no split band but the band does have diamonds on it like the Neil Lane one. According to the tag it said the ring had an si2 and H rating. This ring is priced at $2.499 but it will be around $2,000 because of a sale.
Please let me know what you all think and any recommendations. My boyfriend is coming home from a work trip tomorrow to go look at the rings and cancel the original tulkowsky that we had on hold at Kay but I want to make sure I am making the right decision. Thank you in advance!
Side note: I'm trying my best to not purchase online because I like being able to try the ring on and look at it under the microscope before we buy it. Also, I'm currently in Lynchburg, VA but we travel a ton for baseball and we will be in Cleveland, OH and then AZ in the next few weeks. I'm open to visiting vendors in person but not sure how I feel about buying a diamond online.
