Q&A: Already Purchased a Diamond from Jared. Wants to Know if I can do Better. Is it Even a Question?

By Mike Fried,

Hi, I have purchased a diamond from Jared. I think that you can do better for what i’m spending. Below are the stats. IF you can do better, let me know! Round Brilliant Cut 1.01 ct G SI 2 (nothing visble with eye) Cut: Good Depth: 63.9 Table 58% Crown angle: 36′ Crown Ht.: 15.5′ Pavln Ang: 41.4′ Pavln Dph: 44% Star lgth: 45% Lower half: 80% Gridle: thin to thick faceted Culet: NONE Polish: Excellent Symmetry: Good No Florcnt spent $5,000 Plez advise!

Wow… What is your guarantee/return policy? I want to see this stone in person and see that it is better in my hands. Is this possible? I also saw somewhere that there is a coupon code for your site so I wanted to make sure your best price was shown so I don’t have to go crazy looking for codes on-line.

P.S. I am super happy to see that somebody wants my money finally and is willing to work with me!


Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Just to be clear, I do not work for James Allen. I am what’s called an “affiliate” of theirs, and numerous other diamond sites. Take a look at the article on my site “Truth about truthaboutdiamodns.com” to get a better idea of what I’m talking about.

But, yes, James Allen has a 30 day return policy. So you could order a diamond from them, and see it in person, and if you’re not thrilled, you can return it and only loose the postage.

You can use the coupon code TAD0611 to get 10% off the setting (not the diamond). Did you like those stones I suggested?


Great pulls! I chose one and it’s shipping out Monday, I was told both were eye clean from 8-10″ but the one with the whisp/crystal in the middle was more visible so I chose the 1.01. All of my answers are found. If you have a better one in mind, let me know sooon as I plan to get the ring set in ASAP.


Hey. No, I think that stones a winner! Did you order it with a ring, or are you having it set yourself? If you ordered with a ring, did the coupon work?


I ordered it to compare to the one I picked out at Jared. Hopefully, it will blow the one I got out of the water! I will let you know either way!

The setting was picked out and fallen in love with by my gf so i’m not mucking with that! =-)


Great! So if goes out today, you should have to really really soon! I can’t wait to hear!


It should go out today for pickup tomorrow in the afternoon… If it’s the better stone, it is set in by Friday!


Great! Please give me your impressions when it arrives.


OK..

The two diamonds you picked out for me were pulled and looked at by the J.A. people. They said that the one with the wisp in the center was visible if you really studied the stone at “just the right angle from closer than 8”. As my GF will look this thing over a million times, I had to get something that was as eye clean as possible in the SI2 range so I ordered the slightly smaller (.03ct smaller). I got it and WOW it was great! Much nicer than the one that the guys at the chain store tried to sell me.

In short, the J.A. stone gets set today for me!


Great news! I’m glad I saved you from that Jared stone 🙂

Do you think you might be able to do me a small favor? If you have the time, would you be so kind as to write a short review of my site on ivouch? If you can, I would be most grateful! You can reach it directly with this link here:
