for me, it's not about how much you spend, but getting value for your money.

Spence will tell you they will beat any price for any grade diamond, then you go onto bluenile etc. and see a diamond that was $5000 at Spence for $2500 on bluenile, probably better quality and a higher grade as well.

i never went into Spence when i was looking, but if they spewed some bullshit to me about price matching and i knew what was available elsewhere, i'd go out of my way to say your fucking lieing to me and i'm going to be telling everyone i know never to step foot in here.

shopping locally the best thing you can do is educate yourself on diamonds. In 5-6 hours of good research you probably know as much if not more about diamonds than the people at Spence and the mall stores.
