If not ,I guess I will hold on to it. I won`t sell it for $7000.00. That is too low.I can`t believe they make that kind of money on an item.Maybe diamonds are not so rare.I know one thing they are a bad investment!!Think about it how many times were you told to think of your diamond ring purchase as an investment and a purchase.How do they justify the selling price on the Rapport Sheet?Are there really " New Diamonds" then what is a used diamond? Maybe it has to many miles on it!!!I am thinking about all the jewelery I bought in my life Watches , Diamond Necklaces. rings , tennis bracelets.What a fool I am!!Turns out they are not worth half of what I paid for them.They are just high end fashion pieces.
Erica posts on here - not sure if Grace does. I've never spoken directly with Erica but I have with Grace and she has to be one of the nicest people I've ever spoken to and I totally 110% trust her! I sold my first ering through them and it was totally smooth sailing from start to finish. I just sent her my ring (I live in MI), we discussed price, she put it up and in a couple months it sold for a really good price. The 10-15% consignment fee is totally worth it as I doubt you'd get what it could sell for via a respected/known about jeweler on your own or by trading it in.carmine7|1303642483|2903935 said:Does anyone know if Erica Grace posts on this site? The reason I ask is after my kind of angry post (sorry) she e-mailed me suggesting I consign with her.That being said has anyone had success with this type of sale process? I think a great deal depends on the people you consign to.Do you trust them ?I live in New York I think she is in L.A.I am not comfortable sending my diamond to someone I know little about.Please help me decide . Anyone have success consigning and whom did you use?
Thanks,
Carmine

He is willing to come out to me.I guess diamonds are really going up.Hopefully we can get together and hash things out. At this point I just want this off my plate .
