As per title …. Guessing some of you Gentleman will have a bit of Knowledge about them , to me a diamond is a diamond buy it , give her it , end of story , but have been informed by someone of a higher authority ( guess who ) .

That there are specific aspects to look for preferably in a solitaire …..

So do any of you guys have any tips to pass on … size , clarity , weight and such ….

There's me thinking er indoors could pick anything she wants from the 'Elizabeth Duke' range

Mick, send it down here, I will give my honest professional opinion and return it intact





















Anyone know where I can get a cheap copy of a diamond  

Might be of use ?

You can spend a few hundred quid or a few hundred thousand, it's as wide open as that!

If you're on a reasonably decent budget, and by that I mean a couple, to a few grand, you'd be as cheap to get 2 return flights to Dubai and get a good diamon piece while you're there.

As an example, my wife got a "cheap" diamond ring in Dubai for £500 and it was valued at £3,000 in London the other day!

The 4 C's are the things you need to look out for Carat, Cut, Colour and Clarity.

Well worth shopping around,jewellery has an enormous mark up. Plenty of room for strong negotiating!
If you have a good auction house nearby it would be worth seeing what's coming up in their christmas sale. always get the diamond tested ,anyone genuine will have no Problem with that.
You would get a much better deal with an antique, could be worth a look
