I was just curious what are some other good websites are for educating someone on engagement rings and diamonds?

Are there any websites that allow you price compare or where would you be able to find the best deal on a ring for example?

Thanks

You might want to check out Diamond Articles.com. Its a great resource with tons of articles and information. I believe you can also search through diamond prices, get whole sale price sheets and stuff.

Of course bluenile.com is a popular one as well. However its not so much of an educational resource, more of a hardware store for selling diamonds and other fancy rocks.

I also like pricescope.com but I think it has some issues with their search and the information and listings are paid. Not to mention the diamonds are the same that you would find in at many of the diamond sites. It seems like I see the same diamond listed on 5 different websites all with the same stats, certificate #, and all....

You know the reason why the diamonds look as if they are listed on multiple website is because they are!!! Bluenile, azabias and all those other diamond companies pretty much just get the inventory from the wholesalers and miners (or distributors lets say), and just list them. If they sell them, they just call up the distributor and get the diamond and sell it to the consumer.

The distributors only do business 2 business (b2b) transactions and will never sell to consumers because they have too much on their plate, but it does increase the overall diamond cost to the final owner! Imagine that
