I've looked at a few sites, but they're all pricey. I've heard there's a 800% markup on jewelry and that I should haggle, but some stores that I've been in give me the same ol' story.
"We can't budge on price. These prices are set by corporate."
Where did you guys go (if you purchased online), and how much did you pay?

You know what they say. Three years salary.
And corporate based chain stores don’t haggle. You have to go to independent stores for that.

Purchased from a local store, so I could see the diamond in person. I also wanted a slightly custom setting. I'm not comfortable buying a diamond online.

Independent diamond broker in metry. Bought stone, then emailed him a pic from Adlers that she liked. His cousin "Moshe" did the setting, met him across bridge in mississippi to avoid sales tax. 1.5c heirloom quality for about 7k, another 1k for side stones and plat setting.
Appraised at Lee Michaels for 13k
ETA: found receipt and adjusted cost above. if you are in the new orleans area, I can post the guy's email for you.

Two months salary. So like $350.

Literally no one says "three years salary". It's "three months".
And even that is ridiculous. She gets a grand or two. If she's such a materialistic count to get mad about that, we aren't compatible.

I mined the diamonds myself in Africa.

Got a price from jeweler in India then used that price to beat up a local guy and get him down a lot. I know it was good price because I asked a family friend back home if he could meet it because I really wanted to get it from him instead but he said there was just no way he could get there.

Like literally? Because I just said it so it literally appears someone said it.

i think that's an old michael scott/the office reference.

Brilliant Earth. Got a lab created diamond. 30% cheaper than diamonds that are mined and more eco friendly. Jewelers can’t even tell the difference between the two.
