[QUOTE="rte, post: 8200439, member: 78199"]I searched for a distressed 1+ct gia certified D-F color VVS round diamond for over a year. Finally found a guy that had a broken engagement looking to sell his ring. He had receipts from Blue Nile for $18,000. I just wanted the center stone ( A 1.4ct E color VVS diamond) and not the whole ring. We finlay settled on a deal and he sent the ring to a third party arbitrator. He verified the stone and I sent my money to him. He sent the diamond to GIA to have laser inscribed and back to a jeweler in Texas. I had a jewler in Texas copy a ring design I liked and set the stone then mail the thing back to me. The ring is valued over $25,000. Wholesale on the stone is still $18,000 While this whole process was going down, I found a placesetter ring. Mavado 1/2ct in platinum. Also distressed for $1250. The guy still owed $5000 on mavado credit card.[/QUOTE]
