Hi All!
I'm new to pricescope, what a wealth of helpful info & resources! Here goes, my first post...
My boyfriend and I recently started ring shopping in the Philadelphia area and have been to the King of Prussia mall a couples times together. We are really liking some of the Tacori solitaire settings we saw in a store called Milanj Diamonds. The salesman also showed us a few diamonds (we were comparing rectangular cushions & radiants to the more square cuts, so cool to see the difference in person!) just to get an idea of what cut I'd like. I think I've settled on cushion cut, hopefully around 1.0 carat... so my question is, what is the best way to do this? Should we buy a diamond from this store where we might buy the setting? From what I've read so far it sounds like whether we buy it in the store or from another company online, Tacori will end up setting the stone anyway. But while I've read in so many discussions that you'll get the best quality diamond and more bang for your buck from online stores like White Flash or Good Old Gold, I've read some other comments that say it's cheaper to purchase the stone & setting from the same store... and if that is the case, would we be better off getting a custom ring (tacori inspired) & diamond from a store online, or stick with Milanj? Or are there better places to go in the Philly area? Yay I'm excited! But also want to make a well educated decision! All suggestions & advice welcome!!
