Wedding Anniversary Diamond Upgrade

*Note: ODBA no longer recommends EnchantedDiamonds.com

Q:

Hi Liz,

For our wedding anniversary we want to upgrade my 1.07ct diamond solitaire ring (SI2, M colour) to a size of about a 1.70ct stone. SPARKLE is the most important aspect to me. I have done A TON of research since over the years my eyes have become colour sensitive and now my stone reflects too much yellow for me. I can also see the imperfections on my current stone. I’m looking at H colour, VS2 …. I would not like to go over $20 000.

Thank you for your help!

Hello Maria,

Thanks for contacting me and letting me know your diamond budget and requirements.

I have done a search for you and can recommend this 1.72ct G VVS2 for $19,500.00: https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/Round/GIA-Certified-1,72-Carat-G-Color-VVS2-Clarity-Diamond-QF3N7X

This diamond is graded a GIA triple Excellent (excellent cut, polish and symmetry) and also falls within AGS ideal cut proportions. The actual hearts and arrows image isn’t perfect, but what you visually see in the magnified image provided are beautiful and evenly spaced dark arrows for contrast. It is a very beautiful diamond.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Liz

Why Am I So Worried To Do This Online?

Q:

Hi Liz

Thank you for your recommendation. I am situated in Africa and my husband is currently in Houston TX on a business trip. I plan on shipping it to a Fedex location for him to pick up. Why am I so worried to do this online??

Kind Regards,

Maria

Hi Maria,

It is natural to feel a little nervous. Most people only buy diamonds of this magnitude once or twice in their lives and it can be a bit overwhelming when you are transferring large sums of money to a business that you have not seen in the flesh. Many people feel like you do.

However, I do this full time and I have put my name on the line for only certain retailers and websites that I feel are only the most ethical and reputable dealers. In many cases I am a customer of theirs too! 😉

In reality you have nothing to worry about. I wrote an in-depth Q&A review for Enchanted Diamonds on ODBA where I asked Jon Las some interesting questions about his business. I think you’ll feel more at ease when you do read it.

I can let Jon personally know that I have been working with you so that he makes you feel at ease during this purchase. Would you like me to do that for you?

Don’t worry! 😉

Kind Regards,

Liz
