Q&A: Having Second Thoughts on Shane Co. Ring

Hello, could you please find me a sparkly diamond? Would like 1ct…ish…. I loved reading your articles, but its making my head explode a bit. Ill want a solitaire w white gold band. Thanks much!

Hi michael, thanks for the lightning fast response…. I told my husband I wanted the first one. I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks again

Hi, so my husband was going to buy the 1st one today, but now its not available. Can u please pick another and he will buy today? I told him I was worried this would happen. Id love if u could get back 2 me today so i could have for christmas.

Aww..I hope you are feeling better and enjoyed the holidays. I did get impatient and we ended up buying at shaneco. Here is what I got (out the door for $6150 with a white gold solitaire setting) (they do do free resizing, free center stone replacement, free rhodium, etc and they also have a 100% upgrade policy which is kinda nice): 1.04ct,j color, si2, excellent cut, measurements 6.52 6.54 4.03 mm. Polish very good symmetry excellent. No flourescence. The barcode on the gia cert is 210604772500. Ill try to put the %s clockwise starting on the left. Thin-med faceted 3%, 50%, 15.5%, 35%, 43%,61.7%, at the very bottom it says none, 80%.

After I wrote this I ended up taking picture of cert 4 u.

My un educated opinion is that I picked a good stone, however almost certainly overpaid vs jamesallen etc.

They have60 day return policy.
I was thinking if u could find me a better value, I would def try to convince my hubby to go 4 it.
I was kind of thinking of this when I got it..that I could have something shiny on my finger, and then when u responded maybe switch things up 🙂

Hello, so we returned the other ring 2day.

My hubby doesn’t want the new charge to be on his credit card until the credit shows up which means it would be 3-5 biz days until I could purchase.
He didn’t really care about saving $, so I wanted to go more
For bigger, while not going over 6150 for the whole thing. The setting I want is 340, so it would be 5810 for the diamond.

So, I was hoping maybe to get close to a 1.25ct instead of 1. I definitely wouldn’t want something less sparkly just to be bigger, as I dont really see the point of it so basically id just want as big as possible for the price without sacrificing the beauty of the diamond.

I do have on hold with them until tues one that’s 1.26ct for 5770 but I was hoping you could pick out maybe 2 for me so I can compare – plus then if one gets sold b4 the credit posts, I have a few options.
I really appreciate al the help you’ve given me so far, and I can’t wait to write my reviews everywhere, once I get my ring 🙂

1547904. I explained he situation to them and they said they’d hold it until 5pm eastern 2morrow (tues)

Hi, I’m sending u pics shortly.

So I looked and the diamond is no longer available.

The good news is that it is now in a ring on my finger!

Ivouch invite?
