Hi Rosa. That site looks very shady. Especially because they're using some unknown lab for their diamond certs. I've never heard of "DJL." I might have a contact for you in NYC. Please send us a private email using the Contact Form, and we'll hook you up.

hello, I was hoping that with your experience you would be able to help me with two questions that I have.

1. I came across this website that advertises that they sell diamond settings and diamond for affordable prices. My question is, do you think that this is a reputable company I can trust to purchase from? Here is the linke of a particular ring that really caught my attention. http://www.diamondringforever.com/diamond_antique_style_ring_4186.htm

2. I live in NYC and I am very familiar with the diamond district. With your experience, did you ever have any contacts here? If so, would you be able to recommend someone legitimate that I can goto that can perhaps sell me an affordable diamond that may seem clean from the human eye. I am not picky at all and would rather be able to buy a larger diamond and not fixate so much on the color. I would really appreciate your feedback and thanks for providing this website, it has been very helpful.

It's a marketing gimmick designed to make you pay much more for something than you should be. If you want a true super-ideal H&A cut stone, send us an email using the Contact Form and we'll help you find one that's cheaper than Jared's and probably a nicer stone as well.

Hello, thanks for a wonderful website! I was wondering what your take is on the Jared Galleria Solasfera stones? I’m new to all this and in the market for an engagements ring…Thanks!

Absolutely not. It’s just another one of a bunch of fake labs that only exist on Ebay. You’re being scammed.

Hello, I found a company with very good prices, the certification is from DGL (Diamond Gemological Laboratory) which seems to be not so important.
The company name is Endless Natural Diamonds, they dont have webpage but just an online store in Ebay: http://stores.ebay.com/Endless-Natural-Diamonds
Have very good reviews, its a top seller.

What do you think? Do you recommend?

There aren’t many labs that will certify treated stones, this is why they have to resort to using a little known lab like GGL. Since it’s so small-time, I have zero experience with them, and can’t really comment one way or the other!

Hello,
I was looking at the Yehuda website you mentioned above, and most of the diamonds have a “Global Gemological Laboratory” (GGL) certification. I didn’t see any mention of this GGL certification elsewhere on your site, and I was wondering how much credence this certification is worth. Is it comparable to, say, EGL (which you don’t really recommend anyways) or better or worse?
Thank you!

I’ve never heard of this lab, and I worked in the Israel diamond bourse for many years. It’s a no-name lab, so you should avoid the stone.
