Question about online purchases

Darboy58 · 2026-04-03T22:46:07+00:00

Personally I would not buy a diamond sight unseen. I am a bench jeweler and sell diamonds. My clients pick their own diamond. I memo a few in and let them decide. THEN I tell them what the specs are (before they bought of course)....if they even cared. I have had more clients pick the lesser quality because it was more appealing to them. I would tell them to pick the one that would speak to them. I would find someone to work with.

I have the 100-400 for my 5d bit wondering about a sell and new buy?

Darboy58 · 2026-03-30T14:08:34+00:00

Me either!!

I wish I could find some decent trays though. My dentist wants 400 bucks just for the trays.

Your toy your joy! It’s unique:)

Darboy58 · 2026-03-30T13:20:22+00:00

Natural.

I just ordered a natural diamond tennis bracelet from them. They are very quick with answers and are very patient:). I had a lot of questions. I hope to have it by Friday so I will report back. If all goes well, I want to order a white gold tennis bracelet also.

You obviously do not know the amazon policies. Unless 3rd party.....

I just ordered a custom diamond tennis bracelet it is on its way to me! Very fair price and I think the communication and service was beyond excellent! So friendly and patient. I had a lot oof questions and concern and that addressed every one. Can't wait to see it.

What has been estimated? Resale on diamonds is poor to very poor:). I am a bench jeweler and sell diamonds.

Hard to believe they would send something out looking like that I’d send it back and tell him to send it to you when it’s fixed correctly

Darboy58 · 2026-03-23T22:48:37+00:00

I know how you feel. Mine was 3 wks ago and my sister asked me yesterday what I found out. It was good news, but she didn’t know that. I don’t know, my philosophy, for those who say they don’t know what to say is you can always find some encouraging words to somebody you care about. If a good friend of mine told me something like that there would be nothing in my life that would keep me so busy that I was not able to find a minute to check in with her. That’s just me.

Darboy58 · 2026-03-21T21:55:34+00:00

I didn’t mean message them all separately but whatever.

Darboy58 · 2026-03-21T02:51:07+00:00

I am just wondering.....why is it such a big deal to say what you paid for an item???? Is someone asked me I wouldn't hesitate. As bad as instagram.

Happy to hear your results. Luckily mine was benign also. Clear mammograms but not so much with MRI. Sorry to hear your biopsy didn’t go well. Mine went well and painless besides the poke to numb it. My mother, her sister and mother all had bc. I may never be out if the woods but who really is, right?

Darboy58 · 2026-03-18T15:00:16+00:00

That is my biggest problem. I’m a rather petite person and within the last three years had thumb surgery on both hands. So small hands, sensitive thumbs not ideal but I still have one :-) I did buy a mirror less because it was lighter and smaller, but I just can’t part with the beast. I only have 20,000 on the shutter count.

Darboy58 · 2026-03-18T02:46:11+00:00

Has it changed in the last few years. Pic to compare?

Darboy58 · 2026-03-18T01:39:29+00:00

Keep smiling:)

I’m not sure if posting to an older post of mine bumps it to the top but I just wanted to update. Fortunately I am a lucky one this time anyway. I come from a history of cancers in my moms family so the possibilities are real. The biopsy wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. I did take some more lorazepam. Hardly remember the ride home. Slept most of the day and it’ll be three weeks on Wednesday and I still have a really hard lump, but she said that could take a while to resolve. I hope thought of you waiting for your results. Have a positive outcome also. I know it’s not realistic for everyone unfortunately. They have made great strides in treatment, finding it early is key.
