I would not buy a $2,800 diamond without a GIA or AGS report, never mind a $280,000 one. And I would not buy a fancy cut 10+ carat diamond from anyone that has not undergone some rather rigorous screening - which this vendor fails abysmally even before it gets down to rigorous:

1. No name, address, references
2. No feedback.
3. No images of the diamond
4. 10% restocking fee
5. Seems out of kilter with the rest of the merchandise offered by the seller

Just a heads up to the admin, mods, and members

This same situation happened on another diamond forum today. A brand new poster (name:alecleu) asked about very expensive ($95,000 sapphire cab and 22 million dollar necklace) items from this virtually unknown company. The overall feeling I got was spam and this thread, to me, justifies my suspicions.

If I am wrong I apologize.

[url="../../user/120531-an0nym0us/"]AN0NYM0US[/url], I am new to a few jewelry forums. I am just sharing what I though was interesting on some online website. My apology if I caused any misunderstanding.

Thanks for coming back, alec. But in what way is that "interesting"? It is neither the "normal" kind of diamond that 99% of people would be able to buy (or at least consider) at some point in their lives, nor is it as exceptional as the recently sold Sun Drop - at 110 carats of Fancy Vivid Yellow!

If you are in the market for this kind of goods, I would strongly recommend that you find someone to provide you with high quality professional advice - not free comments on a forum.

Dear davidelevi,

I am not professional. Thats why I asked professional like you "What do you guyz think?" in my original post. I just want to hear some comments and learn from people.

Anyways thank you for your comment and advice.
