Buying diamond separate from ring
Hi there,
Hope this group can help me out. He's the deal: 1. My g/f has seen a ring she loves in a store, its about $2000 for the ring alone. I can't find it *anywhere* else online. Its a Jabel ring. 2. The diamonds they offer me are pretty poor compared to what I can get from bluenile etc. They are offering me estate diamonds that are low clarity (SI1) and poor color for the same price as a much better clarity, cut and color diamond from bluenile. I'd really like to buy the ring alone from the jewelers and get my own diamond set it in. My concern is that I'll get the jewelers really mad at me for doing that. If I was to do it how would I get the ring set? The jewelers or somewhere else? Any ideas what I can do? Money is tight for me but I want to get my girl the ring shes been dreaming of. I can do that by saving money on the diamond by buying online. Ultimately I can buy the ring and diamond from the jewelers but I'll have to compromise on the diamond. Thanks in advance! |

Ask the jewelers if they can mount your diamond in their ring. Don't go into all the details about buying the diamond somewhere else; it's none of their business. It you feel the need to go in with a story, tell them it's your mothers/grandmothers/ex-wife's/etc. diamond and it means everything to me... |

Hey, if my wife fell in love with a dried pea in a pot metal setting, I'd buy it for her. Now when you have a daughter, that's something else. Buy her something truly righteous by you, and no boy is going to make her melt with a cheesy cereal box "promise" ring. But your g/f, hey . . . this could be an important test you can't afford to fail. Best wishes, Kurt |
