<p>[QUOTE="crazyd, post: 3056031, member: 67221"]Like with coins - its all where you shop on line. With the reputable (but bland) online places like BlueNile, or the higher end online places (diamond cutters) like Whiteflash - your going to have a better chance of a certified and accurately categorized diamond (at a fair price) then at the department store chains like Jared or some random shop in a strip mall. In fact you can view certs and actual scope images of the diamond on line. I work near a large Jewelers row in a major metro area - and there are so many places I would not feel good with. My wife's jewelery was all custom made online and via emails with images of 3 d models at every step..and at the end they were shipped to an independent lab of my choice for verification and appraisal and then shipped to me. But to each their own - sorry to divert from coins and bullion. I spent several years on gem buying - some nice rare gems I got for the wife.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the issue as I buy coins as well - I got burned on one place, but have had good success with others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
