After searching both local and every corner of the internet, I ended up buying from Ritani. The reason is simple, jewelry is one of the easiest things to ship, and just like being able to find Michael Jordan cards on eBay lowered the market on those Ritani is the Michael Jordan of diamond finding sites! I didn’t just look around at local stores and go on the web, I challenged them to beat the price I got from Ritani and one by one they dropped out. This was even after me offering the local jeweler my family has gone to for years an extra $1000 above Ritani’s deal, as I saw his value in being local and he couldn’t come within $5000! Besides price, service is also very important. The customer service team all knew me by the time I purchased as I am careful, especially when paying over $25k for such an important person, my soon to be fiancé! The team went above and beyond shipping quickly and in beautiful packaging. Last and most important thing, which may be why you are reading my review... Did I get what I paid for?!?! Simply, Yes! I went to a local jeweler who authenticated the diamond and GIA certificate. Thanks Ritani for saving me over $10k on something that I know my future bride will look at her hand gleefully for the next 60 years! Do yourself a favor and buy from them!
