I am in the process of shopping for a ring.
I know my price range is roughly 15-18k
I would obviously like to spend less. I went to debeers and cartier today, and they clearly have an amazing markup due to name. but figured it was an idea to start with them.
My concern is quality, and maybe i just dont really get diamonds. But from my understanding the Color is what is truly visible to the eye. Now I found some rings from Cartier that were in my price range and suitable and seemed like an easy purchase.
But with pricescope, is it more intelligent to buy a loose diamond and then have someone make or just buy me a ring?
I assume with buying a loose diamond you can obtain a bigger rock for a better price?They all have the same appraisal process, correct?
any help is appreciated .. my parents are real old school where it's just wedding bands and simplicity.
TIA
