Would you buy this 3 stone emerald cut diamond engagement ring over your cell phone??

Several recent purchases of diamond engagement rings were actually completed over a cellular telephone!

This brings an entirely new meaning to the online diamond shopping experience! Honestly, I cannot imagine that the initial research by these customers was conducted over a 3-4 inch cell phone screen. Probably, they did their homework on a regular computer screen and only consummated the actual purchase over a cell phone (Iphone..I wasn’t sure which…).

Either way, I find this to be an incredible indication of where we are going with the Internet revolution!

Many of their creations also feature accent diamonds in different shapes, sizes, and configurations. These jazzed up and gaudy settings effectively overpower the center diamond and draw attention away from the diamond to the ring.

Now this is no big deal in an instance where the center round diamond is of poor to mediocre cut quality and appears dull and lifeless to the viewer. In this type of scenario, the ring setting becomes a positive diversion. However, in the case of an Ideal Cut diamond which has been crafted to achieve a high level of beauty and brilliance, it distracts the viewer from what should be the prize of the entire engagement ring ensemble; a magnificent and sparkling ideal cut diamond. ……..(click on the extended entry to read more)………
