Has anyone ever ordered diamonds online

[christinatrieu]

Hi there,

I am wanting to order a diamond and I have never done so on-line - i was wondering what your experiences have been like and what did you do after receiving it this is my first experience diamond shopping and I dont know do I bring it to an appraiser or a gemologist?

I was thinking of either buying this diamond from white flash

or this diamond from zoara

i really do appreciate your replies thank you!!!!

Yes twice, and I'll do it again I hope, too (If I get to buy another one someday) But as far as I'm concerned it is the only way to go, the markup in stores is incredible also better selection of GIA is online. I've purchased from Blue Nile and then B2C. I prefer B2C I was happy with their customer service, and their return policy (didn't need to return) and they do trade up, but doubt I would do that anyway! Good luck, I would only buy online for sure. It really doesn't get any easier, but more importantly the value & prices are so much better!

Several times.

I've used Wink Jones at High Performance Diamonds, Brian Gavin Diamonds, Pearlmans Jewelers, and ID Jewelry personally. But I have real life friends who have bought happily from Engagement Rings Direct, Whiteflash, Good Old Gold, Singlestone, Jewels by Erica/Loving Diamonds, and MANY other vendors that we regularly recommend on here.

I've bought from Whiteflash several times and James Allen once. They both had great customer service.

I've used Wink to buy a diamond and I loved it. I would buy from anyone affiliated with PriceScope and feel secure doing so.

Buying online is the norm for people here on Pricescope. No worries. I've dealt with James Allen, Whiteflash, Good Old Gold and Love Affair & Wink Jones. All good experiences!

Yes! It's the only way I'll buy expensive jewelry.

I've worked with Whiteflash several times, Brian Gavin Diamonds twice and ID Jewelry once. I've always had great experiences buying online.

Not yet as I am not in the market for another significant diamond, however, I have regularly purchased jewellery online.

If I were to get another diamond, I would go to one of the highly recommended vendors on PS such as White Flash, Brian Gavin Diamonds, Good Old Gold, and James Allen etc...

Pretty much anyone who has been on Pricescope for a while has bought a diamond on-line. The selection is so much greater
than when you go into a B&M. As long as you stick with a reputable vendor it shouldnt be a problem. All PS vendors have
good return polices so if the stone ends up not being what you expected you can easily return it.

Good luck! You can also ask for help if you dont know what to look for. Lots of PSers have plenty of experience and know what
to look for in the various diamond shapes (its our hobby).

Hi,

I've bought from Whiteflash, Brian Gavin Diamonds, and Blue Nile, and have been happy with all the purchases.

Just got a gorgeous eternity ring with .15 A Cut Above diamonds from WhiteFlash. I could not be happier. I also have a diamond ring from Tiffany and think the ACA diamonds from WF are better. I was super concerned about ordering online but could not be happier with the experience with WhiteFlash.
