Happy Thursday everyone!

A good friend of ours (let’s call him Bill just in case his girlfriend is reading this post 🙂 ) is thinking about asking his longtime live-in girlfriend to marry him. Bill is a very busy person who is a stickler for excellent customer service. He doesn’t have time to visit shops so convenience is very important to him. He’s not sure how much to spend on this ring because this is his first time getting married and he wants this engagement ring to be the perfect symbol of his love and devotion.
Bill has a budget but he’s not sure if this budget is realistic or not. He’s not sure the size of the ring and whether he should get loose diamonds, custom engagement rings, princess cut engagement rings, fancy color diamonds, gia certified diamonds or other cut engagement rings. Will she reject him because the ring was not the right size, shape or clarity? What about the infamous Four Cs? What is that? Where can he get the right education without feeling overwhelmed? Like most men when it comes to purchasing diamonds it could be intimidating.
Hubby has a reputation of being really good with his money amongst his friends and family so it was natural for Bill to ask him for advice. After all, hubby did spend a good amount of his fortune to get me this engagement ring. Like all the big purchases he makes he does his homework thoroughly by asking the right questions from the right sources. When it comes to getting the engagement ring, he knew that second to buying a home, the 2nd most important investment for newlywed is buying a diamond ring. As a matter of fact, my engagement ring had appreciated 15% since the purchase. Not too shabby 🙂
Coincidentally I was in the market to shop for a wedding band for hubby (don’t get me started on how he lost it. Let’s just say the new owner of our trade in car also walked away with a fabulous wedding band) and came across a few online jewelry sites like Brilliance and Lumera. What stood out to me most, that I thought would be a perfect match for Bill was Enchanted Diamonds. While perusing the site I discovered they sell the most beautiful stones in the world at the most attractive values because they eliminated the middlemen. They hold no physical inventory and sell diamonds direct from the source. By removing the middlemen and running a lean organization, they are able to pass along significant cost savings to their customers. Also, based on the 5 Star reviews at www.ivouch.com/enchanteddiamonds-com, they offer the best customer service, guidance, and transparency. They ensure their customers get the perfect diamond given their budget and unique needs. Sounds like a match made in heaven for Bill.
I will keep you posted whether she will say yes or not. Maybe hubby can enchant me with an upgraded diamond 🙂 ? After all, diamonds are and will forever be a girl’s best friend.
