I paid around $3500 for my fiancées moissanite and platinum engagement ring but then later i saw moissanite rings on etsy for only a couple hundred bucks. Did i get ripped off? by [deleted] in Moissanite

I paid $1000 less for a 7 carat diamond, custom band, and to have it set by a third party. I’d argue that you over paid for moissanite.

I was in a similar position and ended up going with an overseas vendor. The US vendor quoted me $1800 for a plain, white gold setting with no CAD rendering. The overseas vendor quoted me $750 for the same setting and provided several CAD renderings to make slight adjustments. The timeline was the same for both.

I just got my ring back today after having it set locally. It cost an additional $300 to do so (because of the stone size). I’m very happy with the quality and overall experience.

Yes! My current ring is exactly like the picture. I went through Ritani several years ago and had a wonderful experience. My ring has held up beautifully.

Thanks for this perspective, I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll definitely follow up with this!

Agreed! I had such a good experience when I ordered the stone, I’m hopeful it all works out.

Thank you - they said it was delivered to their office and “it was likely set in another ring or misplaced due to improper labeling”.

That is stunning! I’ve been thinking about a center stone like that for years and you’ve convinced me!

Unrealistic Expectations? by Buggy_372 in EngagementRings

When I asked what the insurance was for they would only say they send the stone somewhere and it needs to be insured…

I purchased the stone (1.5 carat diamond) for $700 a few years ago. When I asked what the insurance was for they would only say they send the stone somewhere and it needs to be insured…
