True. But you do get to read independent certified AGA and/or GIA reports on the specs. Most places in Calgary couldn't show me that. Once you know what specs you want (colour, cut, clarity and size) it just be comes a matter of finding it.
If you want you can buy just the rock and get the ring anywhere else. Anyhow, I'm not like their spokesperson or anything. I just remember three years ago getting all edjumucated up on rocks and then feeling the disappointment going to all the places in Calgary to try and find the diamond I wanted. Only one store had one close to what I wanted in Calgary (Birks downtown) and they wouldn't even let me see it. I figured I saved 40% and didn't have to compromise on anything going with blue nile.
