Cheap Platinum Diamond Anniversary Band Ring Review
After 20 years of marriage, my husband and I upgraded my ring two years ago. We bought a beautiful 2 carat diamond in a platinum setting with additional .70 carats of channel set diamonds. As we spent alot then, we didn't buy a matching band at that time. We decided to go ahead and buy a band this year, so I did alot of comparison shopping on line. The place where we bought my ring in Atlanta hand a platinum band with diamonds similar in size as my engagement ring setting and the price was around 00 or more (.35 carat TW). I found a beautiful ring at Costco that was larger (.5 carat TW) but the diamonds were elevated and didn't sit against my engagement ring well. The Costco ring was 00 but a great value! I decided to check out Amazon and liked this ring by Diva Diamonds. I read alot of the reviews and saw many people thought the actual rings were smaller than they thought. Now obviously, enlarged pictures have to be used, but I don't think this ring was misrepresented. Compared with the Costco ring that was .5 carats -- I'd have to say, this ring is not as large -- however, the savings was about 0. (Costco ring was 00 plus sales tax -- this ring on Amazon was 9 tax free!) The Costco ring was .5 carats with 10 diamonds -- the Diva Diamonds was .5 carats with 11 diamonds - so obviously the diamonds are smaller. However, they actually match my ring better because with 11 diamonds they spread out further across the band like the ones on may engagement ring setting. One thing I didn't like about the Diva Diamond process is that they only provide a certicate of authenticity -- but nothing to document what type of diamonds are in the ring (clarity, color and carat weight). The Costco ring included a GIA certificate with all the diamond specs included. I wouldn't buy from them if I was buying anything with a significant sized diamond without a GIA certificate, but for a ring like this, I'm fine. I personally don't think this ring is exactly .5 carats -- probably closer to .4 carats, but it works perfectly with my ring, the diamonds sparkle the same as my engagement ring, the platinum is a good weight and it was significantly less money! Shipping was fast, too!! Ordered on a Friday and received on Tuesday!
