No I don''t HAVE one, but tried one on in the mall last night....I guess they offer the try on as a way to engage customers in conversation about something else,,,,,Anyway, it was huge and heavy compared to my ring (had 1ct each half-moon sides)....They were asking 300K !! It was like H VS2...looked very clean...(a search here shows a 11.48ct for 172K).........They did comliment me on my stone, which was nice....I tried on a nice looking 2.5 RB, and I tink if I could upgrade, that would be a nice size to get......I think it was a well cut I could see the arrows in it (and my stone) even in their lighting....they wanted 40K for that, almost twice as much as comparable stones found on PS.......!!
When my bf said how into diamonds I have become...that I even have a special viewer, the salesman first guessed H&A viewer, but when I said IS, he knew what that was....perhaps this particular chain is trying to find ways to compete w/internet sales by staying educated......he offered to make me earrings (the reason I went in)....whatever.............However, any one internet trained knows those prices are HIGH......in the past, they wouldn''t negotiate at all...
