Good tips. Buying an odd carat diamond instead of a round number carat diamond (i.e. .95 v 1.00) is a good way to save some money. No one will be able to tell the difference.

Hi Raj – I’ve bought jewelry online before, and so have many of my friends/colleagues. I don’t think there is a value cut off to determine what is safe or not, but sites like BlueNile are pretty common and handle 25K+ diamonds all the time.

G luck!

Excellent Blog….
Is buying diamonds (25K range) on internet safe?
Have any of you have any experience to share buying from any of the following internet stores? Excel Diamonds or Adiamor or BlueNile.com all of which are rated A or A+ by BBB… you bloggers may have some experience to share.

Also any experience buying from Belgium or Amsterdam or Europe in general? Is ie less expensive?

Wow! What an interesting and long thread here.

You know at one time it didn’t have to be a diamond as long as it was a precious stone. But white goes with everything and DeBeers did an exceptional job or marketing and then controlling the supply!

I do think it is important that the man have a good idea of the style of ring. When I got mine the style was to my way of thinking at the time a little old fashioned but I did not want to hurt him so wore it for years and years until one day on its annual cleaning the jeweler told me that the prongs were beginning to wear – I took that opportunity to have the diamond transferred to a completely different setting. It looked positively mahveluss dahlink! … and still does. To DH’s credit, he went for quality and you’ve got to like that!

@Matt Jabs
The problem is, it doesn’t matter what we men think, it matters what the women think! Hence, in this post, I suggest various ways men and women can understand diamonds, and the whole concept, and expense of it all.

I just plain don’t believe in the whole diamond = love thing and think modern couples who thwart this fallacy are definitely falling on the side of wisdom.
