Why does my same sized diamond engagement ring cost more than another buyer's ring?
No two loose diamonds are alike. You'll see two diamonds nearly identical specs, with different prices. Don't email me asking why your loose diamond prices more than another diamond with the same specs, I'm not an appraiser. The guys who buy their diamond rings online save the most. Several factors control loose diamond prices beyond "4 Cs", including polish, symmetry, depth %, table %, girdle thickness, and diamond fluorescence. Ideal diamonds cost more, and diamond jeweler greed also adds to your price.

Diamond Ring Financing Tips:
Before you run off with cash burning a hole in your pocket, never pay cash for a diamond engagement ring no matter how good the deal is. Charge it instead, but not on mall store credit cards with 19-26% APR. Use your own card and pay it off immediately or a few months. BlueNile.com has financing from MBNA. Their online application provides up to $25,000 in financing instantly. Avoid paying cash at diamond jewelry stores, it can't be traced, if the deal goes south, you'll never get your cash back, but you can dispute a credit charge. Leave your cash safely in the bank, pay your credit card bill in full. If a store requires cash or check only, just leave. Any legitimate jeweler takes credit cards. Do you need a new credit card to handle deposits? If you have good credit, try the Discover Card, with no annual fee, 100% fraud protection. What if you keep getting rejected for credit? Then try this Credit Card Finder For People With Bad Credit. Don't keep applying and getting rejected, and your credit history ruined further, find out who will approve you before you apply. They find at least 2 credit cards guaranteed to issue an unsecured credit card to you. If you're in too deep, maybe now is not the time for a new card.
