Hi Guys,
I recently went to Barbados to get Married and have our honeymoon and stumbled across a company called "Diamonds International".
Has anyone had dealings with these guys or heard any reports on them?
We did the sensible thing when there and did not impulse buy but decide to come away and educate ourselves before jumping in at the deep end.
The prices seemed fantastic but then i only have experience of being ripped off here in the UK.
We met another Scottish couple in the resort we were staying in who had returned on 6 seperate occasions purely to buy jewellery.
What is the "Legalities" of buying tax free as a visitor to a country like Barbados? Is there a limit to what you can spend?
My aim would be to buy say a loose stone to put away for the kids futures. Being a complete novice i would not know where to start. The diamonds we saw were GIA certified.
Are you best buying looses stones or having the diamonds mounted on a ring?
We have about £60,000 UK Pounds approx $90,000 US Dollars as a budget, what could that buy us?
The way pensions and other investments are currently performing buying diamonds seems a less risky idea.
Diamonds International offer a scheme where previously bought diamonds can be traded in for the purchase price against more expensive items to allow you to "Upgrade" your stones when you can afford to. Is this the Norm?
They have a web site www.welcometoourworld.com
As a newbee it would be much appreciated if anyone could help with any advice on the best way to proceed with our first purchase and how to "Educate" ourselves.
What are the markets like for buying expensive loose stones and selling them here in the UK for Profit? Is this a viable option also or is it best left to the experts?
Thanks for an excellent informative site, look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Scottie
