If anybody here has used this website maybe you can help me out. I’ve found a ring I like but it’s not certified. Color is F, clarity is SI2, cut is ideal. Only hang up is it’s not certified. On the website it states that all rings are inspected by professional gemologist to make sure the diamond matches the description. This should negate the fact it’s not certified right? Outside of resale value once it’s been passed by their gemologist the ring should be as listed?

If she cares about that shite that much, you're marrying the wrong woman

A couple of months ago, my friend’s cousin (a single mother) bought a new cell phone. After a long day of work, she came home, placed her phone on the counter, and went watch to TV; her son came to her and asked if he could play with her new phone. She told him not to call anyone or mess with text messages, and he agreed.
At around 11:20, she was drowsy, so she decided to tuck her son in and go to bed. She walked to his room and saw that he wasn’t there. She then ran over to her room to find him sleeping on her bed with the phone in his hand.
Relieved, she picked her phone back up from his hand to inspect it. Browsing through it, she noticed only minor changes such as a new background, banner, etc., but then she opened up her saved pictures. She began deleting the pictures he had taken, until only one new picture remained.
When she first saw it, she was in disbelief. It was her son sleeping on her bed, but the picture was taken by someone else above him... and it showed the left half of an elderly woman’s face.

I didn’t say she gave a shite about it, but I give a shite about it. That’s obviously why I asked the question.

Two things: being an engagement ring... I assume you aren't going cheap. So, this advice is regarding protecting yourself and your investment.
1) Being certified just has the cost built into it already. It doesn't change what it is. You can pay to have it certified. Also, you should always pay to get it independently inspected by your own gemologist to ensure you aren't scammed. Regardless if it is certified or not.
2) D/E/F/G are all really fine. You should choose carat based on her hand size. A smaller ring looks large in a petite woman. Whereas a 2 Ct monster looks tiny on a Jabba the hut. It's the biggest contributor to cost, but usually not as important as other factors. Shape. Hard to go wrong with round, but some women like cushion or princess. It's not a big deal, but I recommend a round. Clarity is important to performance. The size, kind, and number of inclusions matter. And si2 is somewhat low in quality. Vs1/2 & si1 are safer bets. But this is a big part of the quality of your stone. Cut is the biggest factor. Is it high in brilliance, is it balanced, or is it high in scintillation? Heavy in the girdle? These things are way more important to if you are firing a good value.

None of the first statement is verifiable unless the second statement is not true (unless you're paying for an outside certification or appraisal).
Now, I would caution that Rouge is correct; however, because you're concerned about simply getting what you pay for, you need to steer clear of one like this. If you want to be sure you're buying what you're being "sold", you want GIA or AGS certification (preferably GIA).

Of course they do. Kind of like all used cars are inspected by dealers to ensure there are no "known" issues when they sell them.

No.

Outside of resale value
No such thing. You buy a $10,000 diamond, you'll be lucky to get $1,000 for it if you ever try to sell it. There is no market for diamonds outside of the one De Beers has made....and you're not a merchant in it.
All that said and back to Rouge's point, resale value doesn't matter if you're marrying the right woman.

You can go lower and get a very good stone. Nothing wrong with a good H or I, especially if other metrics are above average.

To this point, if you look at certified stones, use the measurements along with THIS and it will help to give you an idea of whether or not the cut is a good one. A lot of things pass for "ideal" that are actually not.
