The final difference in purchasing a diamond depends upon the sales environment. Would you prefer to pay top dollar at a famous retail store or would you prefer to buy the SAME quality stone from me in a simple business office setting?
The money that I can save you may allow you to increase the quality of the stone or simply allow you to use the money on something else.
I suggest that couples use the retail stores to shop for the diamond style, size and shape that they prefer. When you have an idea of what you like, phone me and discuss the quality and price of the diamond before you buy. My favorite part of my business is showing young couples how to save money on their third most important purchase.
