Hi,
it's true that the price of gem quality diamonds is manipulated...
as a travel agent I see grooms planning honeymoons (the groom is
responsible for the engagement ring, her ring, and the honeymoon) and
I've started offering a service locally (Memphis, Tennessee) where a
groom can shop for the stone he wants, get it priced, and bring me the
specs...
then I get him 2 stones 1 with comparable specs (but for much less, and
one with a comparable price (but much better specs, people usually want
size) and I charge a consulting fee of 100$...
on a 1 carat stone I can usually either save him 500-1500$ or get about
25% more size.

What about "blood" diamonds ?
Worth supporting killing?

Money; What a concept !
Hi,
I get my diamonds from Israel these days... used to get them from
Antwerp... I have no idea and no care where they came from before they
were cut and polished.
