Gem Stone With Diamond Bracelet.
Q.Anyone have any experience purchasing a diamond on the Internet from a place like Blue Nile or Mondera? How are the prices? The quality? I'm thinking about buying a diamond from Mondera, but a friend of mine gave me grief for being "unromantic".
A.I work in the diamond business (it's JUST a day job/I'm a singer-songwriter) and I have posted some advice before. My company is a diamond/jewelry wholesaler in New York and a VERY large one at that. We sell to Neiman's, Nordstrom, etc., and you may have seen our diamond line bracelet ads in Elle, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, etc. over the past few months. Also they've been in business almost 100 years and have a great rep. in the business. So! here's a bit of advice from someone who sees what is going on behind the scenes: I think you need to see the diamond before you buy it. Every stone is different. Just because you have a list of things that some author of a diamond book says you need in a stone, doesn't mean you're going to get a great stone. I think you actually need to SEE the stone to see how it is cut, etc. That is so important. Even D/VVS1 stones are cut poorly, and even though they have great color and clarity, if the cut is poor it ruins the life of the stone.
