Looking for something for the girlfriend. This place looks good.

ETA: My wife is going to be fricking furious so I may pick her one up too.

Never bought diamonds. (too Poor)

Nah, I typically buy them direct from Sierra Leone or the Ivory Coast. They come covered in a redish hue. Just hit it with some soap and water, and they are good as new.

I was going to go this route but my local jeweler had a trade in that had a fantastic deal.

Only betas would support the DeBeers cartel, their manufactured scarcity, and the social brainwashing that you must buy a diamond for your girl.

Love,

I'm not looking for a social justice feelgood event. I just need a diamond.

He, goldennugget, just hates diamonds because of all the Jews in the Diamond District.

They have high quality diamonds. I purchased from them a couple of years ago and everything was as stated.

I have nothing against the Jews. Jesus was a Jew. And I heart Jesus.

Blue Nile is great. I used them for an engagement ring.

Bought my wife's ring from there.

I've never had it appraised or anything, but all the reviews from that place seem to point that it is an excellent place to buy from.

I had no issues buying from them.

I also think jewelry appraisals are dumb unless they are for insurance. I love how you always see these appraised for 10k rings being sold for 2k.

I will edit to clarify.

I've used it, I recommend it. All diamonds are GIA certified. Anywhere online as long as you do your research is good. Buying retail for a diamond is for complete suckers.

If 17 Africans didn't die getting it to me why would I want a diamond?

Blood diamonds are the way to really show your woman you care.

I used it as a guide to see what I could get and what it would cost for an engagement ring. Was useful whenever I went to a jeweler.

But I've never heard a bad story from those who purchased from there.
