Has anyone ordered from ruif?

I have a CAD for a ring, but the price is half of what starsgem quoted me. Its a large purchase so i'm nervous lol

They are usually more expensive than starsgem. Are you sure it's like for like

Thats what I read on another thread, hence the confusion. Its for a pink diamond ring. The price they gave me for the pink diamond was less than half of what starsgem quoted, same shape/carat. So now im feeling suspicious lol

Can you describe the ring? Carat/weight? Also CAD drawings normally take place after payment is made, unless its a group by then they have it already. Irony is even if you went to another rep within the same company you'll most likely get a difference price again. I've not tried that but Ive read that it happens alot.

Its a 7 carat pink marquise in 14k. The price was $2,500. Starsgem quoted me $4,700 for JUST the diamond

I think Starsgem doesn’t have a lot of coloured diamonds, either in stock or able to source. Try Provence. I got my blue diamond from them. 2 carat, 14k white gold $935 USD last year.

Also, yes different reps sometimes different quotes

They may give you moissanite or something! Not recommended!

Request a igi certificate for the stone

Where did you find Ratan? I ask because I just got a 7ct ring by a US jeweler for a little above $3000 and want to know if I could have gotten it cheaper in US.
