Question: Buying diamond ring at consignment store?

If its for a girlfriend cheap jewelry is a total turn off!!!

She is born in August and I am born in November. I want the center stone to be a diamond. I was thinking either one stone on each side. One is mine and one is hers. The I was thinking two stones on e ach side. Is there a place that will help me with this?

I'm not able to name any places (partly because I don't know where you are), but try going to a nice jewelery place and ask them about it. They'll probably either do it for you, or know somewhere that will. This goldsmith can make you what you want http://www.wightmangoldsmiths.co.uk They madewifes engagement ring and we are extremely happy with it. However I do not know where you are located so that would obviously play a major role. Their site also gives information on birthstones http://www.wightmangoldsmiths.co.uk/birthstone.htm and also information on having a piece of jewellery custom made for you, http://www.wightmangoldsmiths.co.uk/birthstone.htm I hope this is useful to you although you location may not be near this company.

bought it from Uae, they charged 260$, is it good price?

i think D0.04 is supposed to describe the clarity and the size of the diamond. I cant tell you if $260 is a good price, because I dont know how clear the rock is. everything matters when u buy diamond jewelry. how clear it is, where u bought it from....etc. but I can tell that your diamond is pretty small, right?

NOT a CZ!!! It is the same exact material keep in mind.... http://www.apollodiamond.com/ They have the same clarity, color, cut, reflective ability, weight, and durability. They are NOT similar to other diamonds. They ARE diamonds! Its just that one is grown underground and one is grown in a lab (now that we have the technology). The ONLY way to tell is for a jeweler to use an eyepiece to see the engraving. So ladies out there, would you mind?

that is sick! here buy a diamond ring wholesale http://www.alphaimports.com

it would be interesting to see them next to each other...I don't think I would mind

I wouldn't mind. I would even accept the CZ if I was in love and knew the guy couldn' t afford to buy the real ring.

not if the person that gave it to me was up front about it. Actually, I prefer man made stones, they don't use slave labor to get them from mines, they don't fund Al Qaeda, they aren't used for money laundering by the mob......

i guess its the thought the count but getting a man made diamond takes away from the thrill of a diamond its not longer rare and precious and a gift from the earth (like its a gift from your heart, who wants a gift from the lab) personally I don't know if i'd care because its about what it symbolizes and only a very materialistic women would be unhappy with a man made diamond...

No, but take me with you and let me pick it out, I have to wear it with pride the rest oflife. I'd be sickened if you gave me a big gaudy 10K , it would tell me you were showing off for the whole world to see . Sorry!! No engagement no marriage!

Not at all. One dayfiance took me to his lab and showed me how to create a diamond. Three weeks later he proposed to me with that diamond.

I have been in a relationship where I had the big diamond. The relationsip ended and the diamond was not nearly worth what he paid for it. Now I have met someone incredible, and I see that the diamond is nothing when you have the man. I have propsed to this man we get a man made diamond, with a kitchen remodel. let's invest in ourselfs. You can get an amazing ring with gold for 500-1000. It is the man that counts, the relationshiop, not the perception we want to throw in people's faces.

yes I would be. but im a jeweler so. I guess some women wouldnt care. http://jewelrypurchase.blogspot.com/

Why would you buy a diamond ring then ? Ask what she thinks of it, women know what they want ! You know that already, hence your question here. It makes no sense to me at all. The diamond is used because it is a rare and precious object. That is a symbol for the seriousness of the proposal. Only the real thing underlines that statement well enough. If the budget is the issue, why not consider another gem that is natural and untreated ? Engraving ? The way to look at is is under UV light and observe the growth patterns ! Basically the real use for lab diamonds is in the industry so they can manufacture for example exactly calibrated sizes and specifications. The use in jewelry inopinion has no meaning and no long term value at all.
