I’ve been with my misses for a good few years now and planning to pop the question this summer. Have started look round for a ring, and know roughly what I want, but don’t know where to get it from. For my price range (between £2-3k) I could get a nice 0.5ct one from a jewelers in London, or Tiffany’s etc – but I’ve seen some online retailers such as bluenile.co.uk that for the same price I can get 0.6-0.7ct diamond, with a better colouring and clarity. I know that if you buy a Tiffany’s ring, you get a great diamond, and you see it first, and can take it back there if there are any problems later on.
Online, it’s a bit more sketchy, and not seeing it in the flesh until it arrives. They do have a returns policy, but I don’t want to keep sending rings back if they’re not right. - But it’s a bigger and (apparently) better diamond online… so I don’t know.
Has anyone bought / seen a diamond ring bought online? – Any advice?
