donzi, the chance of u getting hooked up is very slim...
so u gotta goto a diamond district and act like you know what your talking about. or save yourself the trouble and goto online diamond shops! which's much better than your local shopping center brand name jewelry stores.
one of the best in diamonds and price is
Engagement Rings, Diamonds and Fine Jewelry at Blue Nile
all diamonds certified by GIA. you can call up GIA yourself and ask them about bluenile, they'll tell you. its GOood!
or if you wanna go cheap, get some synthetic diamonds! they are almost identical! just has little more red to it but you can get a D, flawless for like 200 a carat? comes with certification, and nobody will know its fake... lol NObody! PM me for this one, i dont wanna put it out in open and have all the girls walk around in synthetic.. lol
and let say, u wanna walk into a diamond district and play hardball.. LOL tell him what you need, ask him what he wants, n its expensive.. learn how to use a loupe, you dont have to learn how to look at the diamonds, but learn how to hold and use the tweezer! once you got this down... be cool friendly do your thing.. u know.. and here's the keyword... tell him, how about u sell me this 10% above rap. rap or rapaport is a magazine that only licensed jewlers can get, and it tells you all the whole sale prices! :headbang: act like you know the price and tell him 10% above rap! most jewlers are more than happy to make 10% but of course they make muuUUuchhh more... :headbang: hope this helps, bro! and if this was me, i'd go get her the synthetic. :headbang::headbang::headbang:
