Diamonds Buying diamonds on the internet can be quite scary and in some cases, not advisable. However, we have a solution...always use an advocate. An advocate is a living, breathing person who is skilled, experience and knowledgeable with a keen eye for beauty. Mark is that guy. With over 36 years in the loose diamond business, Mark developed an understanding of the beauty in a diamond and looks at each an every stone he sells with the same critical eye. He is known for being exceptionally picky and that is exactly why you want him as your advocate. His steadfast desire to provide you a great diamond (no matter what the budget) will give you confidence of great value and a most importantly, a beautiful stone. Mark is so helpful, that even if you find a stone somewhere else, he is willing to discuss it with you, just to make sure you are making an informed decision. Mark states, " I refuse to sell someone a piece of junk, just because it's cheap, someone else can do that...I provide beauty...or I don't sell it at all." In an effort to minimize confusion, and to help you compare apples to apples we only offer certified diamonds on our website. The stones listed on our site are NOT owned by us, so even if you pick out one you like, Mark will look at the stone and advise you accordingly. If, it does't meet his strict criteria, he will certainly let you know and find you something even better at a better value to boot. Happy hunting...it's fun and safe!!
