Now, it's not a "perfect" diamond (no one aside from a jewler with his scope thingy is ever going to know that from looking at it), but all the stones in the the ring are very good quality. My husband went to the diamond district in NYC, but even when he went to a local jewler in town he saw a flawless 1 ct, it was still less than 10K mounted in platinum. |
He didn't pay 12k--not nearly, but that's what they were selling it as. That's the reason you go to places where you know the people. I definately agree that the diamond district is the way to go-- especially if you don't actually know the jewler.
