D, E & F Lovers: Would you settle on an H?

Even dh loves the white cushion. He also likes that it is not pre-owned/estate. Fresh rings.

I know this is an old thread, but still want to raise this question --

How can you be sure it was never owned by anyone else before, except the diamond dealers?
I mean, many jewelers/vendors have a trade-in policy.
For the traded-in diamonds, do they just polish and re-sell them as new?

Yes. Re-cert and then sell as new. There are some small boutique houses like Infinity who can guarantee you a new diamond but for most diamonds you have no idea what the history was... so why let it bother you?

It only bothers me when people are buying a diamond thinking it is new, in the sense that it is fresh from the mine..
