A "real" deal on a diamond in Dallas. I need an actual connection!?

Question

I abhore the thought of paying retail for a diamond, but don't have any connections in Dallas. I don't care about GIA certification or a flashy setting. I just want a relatively large diamond for a good price. I am not going to the "Diamond Doctor", those prices are not even close to what I know you can get a diamond for if you have a connection. Does anyone know of a good place to find a pretty diamond in Dallas where you don't pay the light bill of the jewelry store when you purchase? If it helps I am looking for a cushion cut over 1.75 carats.

Answer 1

I have a great connection, but I'm not sure how he would feel about me giving his info on the internet.  If you can tell me how much you want to pay, I can see if he's willing to do it.  E-mail me your e-mail address.

Answer 2

the jewelry channel on cable has great prices

try village jewelry's

Dallas gold and silver

the antique malls have great prices on jewelry, you might find something you can re-set or a loose diamond

good luck and I'm with you on the prices

two things that are so very over priced diamonds and furniture over 500% mark up it's stupid
