Avoid Buying Online

It is better to know the diamond before you buy.

Buying an engagement ring with a pre-set diamond blindly from an online diamond dealer is not the best way to purchase the ring she will cherish forever.

  • Compare diamond size, color, clarity, and cut side by side.
  • Look at the diamonds under magnification
  • See the diamond in a laboratory environment.
  • In person purchases significantly lower the chance of being defrauded.
  • Most on-line dealers are just that, dealers. They match up buyers and sellers and never see the actual diamonds until after they are sold.
  • When you look at a list of diamonds, there is no way for you to see the subtle differences in color and it's effect on the look of the diamond.
  • There is no way to compare the total sparkle and light return between two SI1 graded diamonds unless they are sitting side by side in front of you.
We can often offer the same or lower price compared to internet dealers.
