Question How to buy diamonds?

[Offshr]

Hey there!

The issue is rather simple. I would like to buy a diamond ring. Knowing that even experts may make mistake in this field, I need to know where I can buy a decent stone for a rather small budged (5-10k) and not to get scammed.
I know that traders in the places like Dubai are eager to make a fool out of someone unknowledgeable like myself. De Beers, Tiffany and alike are making huge money by selling their reputation. I started to research on Internet and I can only see paid posts and articles out there. Complete mess.

So where should I go to buy a decent stone from decent people for decent money and not be scammed?
Any experts in this field?

Buy her a fake diamond (like moissanite) ring. If it looks nice to you, it will look nice to her.
With the 8-9k you save, book a nice vacation for both.

Look for reputable and established diamond retailers with good reviews and certifications such as GIA or AGS. Consider online options such as Blue Nile or James Allen, or visit local jewelers for in-person inspections.

You don't mention what the purpose is to buy the ring?

For personal use only. Need a real stone with the value that is paid for it.

Are you looking for a reputable jewelry store or to buy this in the parking lot of Port Rashid?
