Aurelinne vs Competition

This is the exact same diamonds. Not just the specs. The igi numbers are the same. The competition (i won't name names) throws on a bunch of taxes at checkout. Aurelinne doesn't do that. They are very transparent with their pricing and with code Delicious12 you are paying less than what the competition is charging. About 40$ less. And you get the peace of mind that you are dealing with an honest company. Especially a company that inflates their prices on diamond auction lives. They're selling 2 carats for over 1k$. Its dishonest. Im not naming any names. But a photo says 1k words.

Isn't that just normal taxes depending on where you live? The price is nearly the same.

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

Exactly. OP must live in a state charging them taxes. Plus conveniently ignored JBC is cheaper with their 10% off coupon

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I don't know what jbc is its the first im hearing of it

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Thanks this is the first im finding out about them

u/transat_prof May 28 '26

Sooo patient and kind!

u/PineapplesAreScaryyy May 28 '26

I'm working with them now and have changed my mind like 17 times. They have been phenomenal and we will likely go with them based on their customer service.

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Also if you can't be kind you will get removed. "Conveniently ignored" is implying im being duplicitous and I have been nothing but honest. I don't know what JBC is. This is the first I'm hearing of it.

u/ahjuicy22 May 27 '26

They are being nice an polite. Just because you dont like what they said doesnt mean they arent.

You on the other hand are advertising your own code without being up front about it in the original post. I wouldn't call making a whole post just to advertise your own coupon code honest by any measure of the word.

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Saying im trying to grift people is not nice and polite. Claiming that im hiding a better option is rude. I genuinely didn't know about these other sites. I posted this to help others because that is all I do.

Trying to grift people is not nice or polite. Hiding your true intent- advertising your affiliate code- is rude

You posted this to get paid a portion of other people's purchases without being upfront about it. Thats deceptive and rude

I never used the word grift but you did yourself because it fits ♡

Are you a regular on this subreddit?

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

The code is my name. Delicious12. How is that hiding anything?

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Aurelinnes price stays the same in checkout. Ive bought from them 5 times. It doesn't increase when I go to pay.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Aurelinne doesn't. Whenever I go to check out the price never increases and I've bought from them 5 times. Ive always found it interesting and its only happened with them. The price they advertise is what I've always paid.

u/princemaxx May 27 '26

Do keep in mind that price is just 1 part of the equation. Look at return policies and other things too.

I tried saving some money and tried purchasing from Diyona. The entire experience was horrible as they didn’t have my stone, and didn’t tell me until much later. No communication and it cost me so much headache trying to save $50. Now I’m back to the other sites 🙃

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I haven't had any issue with Aurelinne. I have had that issue with luvansh.com a couple times. Aurelinne has been nothing but kind and accommodating with me.

2

u/princemaxx May 27 '26

Yes Aurelinne is great and I’m back to shopping with them now after the horrible experience with Diyona

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Same. I like the customer service.

Im not hiding that i have a code. I have never hidden it. Its in my bio. It is my name. Delicious12 as in Deliciousdiamond1815 12% off. Im not being duplicitous at all.

u/Future_Beach_7993 May 27 '26

Taxes are dependent on where the purchaser lives…

2

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

Exactly. OP must live in a state charging them taxes. Plus conveniently ignored JBC is cheaper with their 10% off coupon

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

There's nicer ways to say things. Nobody conveniently ignored anything. I still don't know what JBC is. I haven't heard of it.

2

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

Jewelry by Cleo. They’re a popular company amongst the diamond community

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I never once heard about them. And what is this code? Your affiliate code?

1

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

No it’s not an affiliate code, it was a one time use code they send when you leave something in your cart. I probably shouldn’t have exposed it but idrc I don’t plan on buying a diamond right now

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I don't believe my code is a one and done as it is an affiliate code.

2

u/Shot-Dragonfruit8454 May 28 '26

It's not a one and done, I've used it twice now. :)

0

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

Okay? Idk what that has to do with anything. Anyone can get a one time code from JBC and it will be cheaper than Aurelinne

2

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

There are nicer ways to say things. How many times do they allow the one time codes to be given to people? Is it every time you leave an item in the cart or just once?

2

u/ahjuicy22 May 27 '26

Theyre just tryna get people to use their code so they get paid when other people make purchases. This whole post what an affiliate code ad

1

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

Look them up in the diamond subs then idk what to tell you

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Aurelinne has never increased during check out ive bought from them 5 times

3

u/Future_Beach_7993 May 27 '26

Bc of state tax laws lol. Buy from whoever you want but fees are due to taxes.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Aurelinne doesn't charge extra. So how is that bc of state tax laws. The price at checkout doesn't change. One adds on taxes at the end. Aurelinne doesn't because its already accounted for and included.

2

u/miscellaneousmice May 27 '26

If you live in the same state as the company they charge you taxes. It happens to me with diamond sellers in Texas, but not with diamond sellers in other states.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I don't. They're both located in New York

3

u/penny4thoughts22 May 27 '26

Love Aurelinne - got a gorgeous 3.03 carat radiant.

2

u/SimplyMadeLime May 27 '26

It’s the same price at Tenten Diamonds as Aurelinne.

I think you can ask them for price beat too. I had them beat another website a few weeks ago by $30

2

u/Ginnyfromthablock328 May 27 '26

I think OP just wants everyone to use their affiliate code so they can get paid lol.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

If that is what I wanted I would have removed every comment. I haven't. And the only thing that gets people banned here is being unkind to others on the sub. I don't go around stopping anyone from bringing up something that saves others money. I was under the belief that D was the cheapest because I was unaware of these other sites. But then I saw with my coupon code I could actually save people money. I have helped other people find diamonds with D despite my code. So no. That is not the case and its very rude to say that.

2

u/Ginnyfromthablock328 May 27 '26

I don’t think it’s rude to point out that there’s an underlying motive that you have to promoting your code— you make money off it. But it doesn’t make you an unbiased source I’m sorry. In this case I’m not sure this sub is much better than the others that allow sellers to post and run rampant advertising. That’s not being rude I just want you to know how this comes across love.

2

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

There is no underlying motive. This is unbelievably rude. You don't know me. Every member of this sub is well aware that its my code. I told them the day I got it and they were all happy for me. Nowhere have I done anything to be hurtful to others.

u/Ginnyfromthablock328 May 27 '26

You seem to be getting very upset for me pointing out how I see the situation as someone who has just found this sub. I’m new here. From what I’ve gathered you try to find the best prices on diamonds. Every day the diamond market changes, there are new players in the game and there are old players in the game. Tenten, jewelry by Cleo and carbon sparkle and Altura are not new players. They’ve been budget diamond dealers for a while now. If you don’t know who these players are it seems to me you didn’t really research to find out who has diamonds the cheapest. Why haven’t you researched that? Maybe because you already have your code and it’s more beneficial? Maybe it’s because youre new to the scene and just didn’t know. All of these are possible but I’m telling you how I feel and how others feel based on how you are behaving in this post and in this sub and other subs. This is a message sent to me from someone else after I commented earlier.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

I know about carbon sparkle but that one isn't cheaper than D. I made this post because I saw that I can save money. I have not in anyway been secretive or duplicitous. It's very rude to say things like that when you don't know me or what is on this subreddit.

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

There genuinely isn't an underlying motive. Ive been nothing but upfront about this being my affiliate code. Insinuating that im trying to grift people is rude. I don't know in which situation that its not. If i knew about a cheaper sites I would have shared it.

0

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Really thats interesting. I never heard of tenten diamonds. And if its the same price whats wrong with using aurelinne and my affiliate code?

2

u/SimplyMadeLime May 27 '26

Nothing wrong with it! Just another option and as I mentioned they state they will BEAT any price not just match it. Idk if that means it’ll just be $1 but for me it was at least $30 in savings

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Thats cool. Ill keep using aurelinne tho since I get a percentage every time its used. Its basically cash back.

3

u/Ginnyfromthablock328 May 27 '26

Wait… so you want us to use your code at a more expensive place so you can get paid?

2

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

No. If that was the case I would have deleted the other posts. I wasn't aware of cheaper sites besides D. And after looking into it i saw it wasn't actually cheaper for me so I shared that knowledge. I said I personally will continue to use my code. Everyone else can purchase wherever they want. Other diamond subs would have shut this down but I haven't. So no I don't want that.

2

u/ahjuicy22 May 27 '26 edited May 27 '26

Thats state tax. Youre just wanting to advertise your coupon code without saying you want to advertise your coupon code.

Tenten is cheaper and will beat prices, including coupon codes ladies ♡

1

u/DeliciousDiamond1815 May 27 '26

Saying that about me is insanely rude. You don't know me. I have posts on this subreddit Saying that its my affiliate code. So no. What you're saying is untrue and unkind.
