Buying Your Diamond Engagement Ring: Make Sure You Don't Become the Basted Turkey!
For many of us procrastinating guys, Today, Thanksgiving, marks the very last day of procrastinating from getting her that Diamond Engagement Ring or other Diamond Gift before Christmas hits next month.
So enjoy the Turkey today, the Beer! and the Triple-Header NFL line-up of games because starting tomorrow no matter how bloated, sick, and out of it we feel, we gotta put the pedal to da metal and get this gig done, PRONTO!
For the great majority of us, we'll be shopping for the Diamond Engagement Ring on the Internet.
It's convenient, fast, and demands very little physical exertion.
Be careful and check out the Vendors. Make sure that their listed diamonds are either in-house or can be shipped in to them by the supplier/manufacturer so that they can physically examine them for you, supply you with extra data, info, and photos, and to insure that there are no problems with the diamond.
Most Diamond Internet Vendors today carry what is called Virtual Diamond (VD) lists of diamonds that are supplied to them by manufacturer/wholesalers that are looking for a Retail window of opportunity. These diamonds are advertised with minimal information about the stone and if ordered are directly drop-shipped to you by the Manufacturer and is never "seen" by the Vendor you ordered it from. The information provided by a lab grading report is a useful start but tells you nothing about the face-up visual beauty of the diamond.
We recently blogged about this disturbing trend here:
and posted an informative thread to Diamondtalk.com on why it is dangerous to totally rely on "numbers" to buy a diamond. Playing The Diamond "Numbers" Game Doesn't Work
Bottom Line is this: get as much information as you can about the diamond and Vendor before you put your hard-earned money down on the Table.
Good Luck, Guys!
