Bought a beautiful stone here for an engagement ring. I was a little apprehensive since you’re buying something unseen. But Cid made it easy. In fact, Nissan, the owner also gave a call to make me more comfortable. They sent me the stone to take to a local jeweler with only my Amex in case I bailed on them.

Nissan, David and his team were extremely accommodating, understanding and patient with our purchase. They took the upmost care to find the best solution for our needs and went above and beyond normal ‘customer service’ standards. I have absolutely no qualms recommending their products and services. Both were absolutely flawless. I will continue to sing them praises and will most definitely purchase from them again in the future. Thank you again!

Color

Think of diamond color like this: D is ice-clear, and as you go down the alphabet, a tiny bit of yellow creeps in. But here’s the thing – most people can’t spot the difference between a D and an H, especially in a ring. An I or J can look just as white and save you a bunch of cash. Don’t stress about getting the “perfect” color. Focus on what looks good to your eye and fits your budget. Sometimes, a little warmth in a diamond can even be pretty cool.

Clarity

Diamond clarity is about tiny flaws, but don’t sweat the perfect grade. Most diamonds have these little quirks, but what counts is whether you can see them without a magnifying glass. Go for “eye-clean” – it looks flawless to you and costs less than those top grades. Some tiny marks can even prove it’s real. Trust your eyes, not just the certificate. You’re buying a diamond to admire, not to put under a microscope!
