Best price and outstanding service
I'm in Australia where everything retailed is generally a lot more expensive. I needed to buy a loose diamond for a custom-made ring and after several weeks of mind-bending research and communicating with online dealers decided to go with B2C. I interacted with all of the major online dealers listed on Pricescope (highly recommend you use this site - fantastic comparison of all the players) and, for the quality of the stones, B2C were almost ALWAYS the most competitively priced. Johnny and the other guys (Simon Rio) were extremely responsive and always got a gemologist's opinion on the stones I enquired about. I was slightly skeptical about buying online and because of the less fancy name and consistently lower prices (B2C versus 'Blue Nile' for example) took a while researching the company and pretty much everything I read was in line with what I'm writing now - less glitz about the website but great service and most importantly the same or better quality for much less. Just pure value for money. For what I paid (for a 1.37ct pear, D, VVS@, EX cut EX polish Ex Symmetry) I was offered 1ct, F VS2 with Very Good all round from the cheapest local retailer, and they were a very well known and highly priced chain. I ordered from Australia and received the diamond 4 days later by Fed Ex and was contacted at every turn. Could not be happier or recommend these guys enough. The whole diamond buying thing is a headspin so I was at least determined to get the best price for all my time spent learning about the things! My fiancee is amazed and really is wearing a great size and quality rock and I look like I spent even more of a fortune on it that I did. Very, very happy. This is a great little company.
