International Diamond should be the only place you look if you're buying an engagement ring. Their team of professionals will take you under their wing in order to walk you through the diamond buying process as if you were family. Buying a diam...ond should be a joyous experience, and IDC makes every effort to ensure it is just that.
I had a nightmare situation in which I purchased a diamond ring through a website that was not up to par with what I paid and it's specified clarity. I was distraught, and immediately brought the ring to IDC to get their opinion on the item. Gary, and the IDC team stayed open after hours in order to walk me through the clarity, cut, and grade process while even letting me look at different diamonds under their magnified equipment. They confirmed my suspicions about the ring with no benefit to them.
I kept in touch with Gary and IDC as it took me over 6 weeks to finally get a refund on my purchase from the internet company. There were sleepless nights, and endless emails and phone calls. Do NOT buy a ring that you have not viewed in person, and frankly I would not purchase anything without speaking with experts like the IDC team.
After finally receiving a refund from the internet company, I returned to IDC to meet with Gary and the IDC team along with my fiance, and had top level service in choosing our diamond engagement ring. After viewing over 3 dozen diamond and setting options and being coached through it all, we finally found the one. I could almost not believe I was able to walk out of a store with the exact item I wanted, for the exact price I was willing to pay while genuinely having fun in the process all in under 2 hours.
Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time anywhere else. Go to IDC. There service went above and beyond what anyone could imagine. They aren't their to make a sale, they are there to help you find what you want. I made the mistake by going elsewhere, and I'm writing this review for all the potential buyers who deserve to enjoy the process of purchasing a diamond.
