Hey guys, I wanted to show you all the ring that I purchased from James Allen for my Fiancée. Here you will see the exact diamond I purchased on James Allen's website with their high rez images as well as that diamond in real life after we received the ring. I couldn't find anyone who did this on UA-cam, so I decided to make my own video. We love the ring and it is more beautiful than we imagined. Very happy with our purchase.
Like I mentioned in the video, I had never purchased a diamond before and shopping online for one seemed scary at first. I browsed around the James Allen site looking at different diamonds just to get an idea of what I could get for my money. After visiting a few physical stores I realized that viewing diamonds on James Allen's website was more transparent than I realized and I felt more comfortable purchasing form James Allen compared to a store. Without the the high rez images I wasn't confident in the diamonds I was looking at in person because I didn't know what inclusions the diamond was hiding under the artificial light in the store. I was also surprised with how much more expensive the rings were in the stores vs online. So after a lot of shopping and looking around I decided I wanted to purchase from James Allen simply because I knew what I was getting based off the detailed photos. I also figured if I was not happy I would take advantage of their 30 day return policy.
Another thing I considered was the selection. When I was shopping most Jewelry stores were trying to push me on diamonds that didn't meet my specifications. For example one store wanted me to purchased a diamond that had fluorescence because it fit my size, color, clarity and budget. However, I specifically didn't want a diamond with fluorescence, but they didn't have one in stock so they were pushing me to get one that did. This really annoyed me and was one of the reasons why I went with James Allen, simply because I could get exactly what I was looking for.
I hope this video helps you all out. If you have any questions feel free to leave them down in the comments. If this video helped you all out all I ask is you leave a like. Thanks guys and good luck with your ring shopping. - Навчання та стиль
my engagement ring is also from JA. Absolutely amazing. Its been three years now and it looks same shiny gorgeous ring.
Very helpful video! I am in the process of searching for an engagement ring and was hesitant to explore online options at first. Thanks for the advice and your review!
No problem, glad I could help. Good luck with your search.
Congrats the ring looks great. I purchased from JA also and I’m extremely happy with diamond. I picked 2 diamond choices and asked customer service for advise and they suggested I not go with my original choices😂. They then selected one for me which actually cost a little less and the rest is history. James Allen exceeded my expectations and the diamond choice is amazing.
Great video. Thank you so much and congratulations.
Thank you so much for the video!
Hi, thank you for posting this, I am currently in search of my ring, and this is indeed very helpful. I wonder if you could do another post, showing the diamond indoor setting. Is that possible? Really curious how the diamond would look in the office/ home setting? thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Hi mate, I have a small question, that I tried to verify the SKU number on the GIA website, the result shows another diamond with different Carat, clarity etc. Any idea? Did you ever try to verify on GIA website?
That's a really beautiful diamond!
Yay super helpful! Thank you!
I appreciate this man
Good man. That's a big indicator of a long-term marriage, saying "we" like it. "We" are sending it to get sized. Not "I".
Boy that is a nice stone. Good job. I picked one up from them as well.
Question, how was their customer service about resizing from 7 to 6?
Hi did you purchase natural or lab made diamond? What are your thoughts?
Beautiful natural earth diamond ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍
hey man thanks so much for this video!, i had a question, in the sunlight are the hearts and arrows visible? i was hoping you would zoom closer on the diamond. beautiful ring dude
On my diamond you can see the arrows with the naked eye
This is lovely. ! A super ideal cut would’ve been super pricey but even more fire! I’m gonna upgrade my JA triple excellent for super ideal (true hearts ) cut soon.
Do they have a specific warranty?

Hello, you mentioned that you customized the settings for your ring so that the diamond was more shallow thus making it larger on the surface area so it looked bigger. How did you do this? What setting and what metrics did you use on James Allen to get the biggest surface area for the diamond?
Table and depth percentage contribute to this, you can find these settings by expanding the filters search with “more filters”
Think he was talking about picking a diamond that had more “width” (I.e., table) etc. He wasn’t referring to the actual setting.
@@tomulatorno you actually Can custom
I would love to know as well.
I came here for the ads. They are hilarious.
Did you have any shipment delays? And do you think you overpaid for an H VS2 triple exc? I would've compromised clarity first. I am awaiting my order so I too have done my research
Did you have any shipping delays?
how long did it take for it to get shipped to you after you ordered it?
how long did it take for it to get shipped to you after you ordered it?
In my opinion I would never compromise clarity nor would I compromise color. That's just a waste of money if the ring does not look good quality especially if she is looking at her ring compared to a friend's ring and her friends ring looks so much better it's just going to make her feel like crap about her own ring. Just my opinion
On a positive note, Jared handles the repairs in person
Jared is so garb
Interesting, I've been looking at JA, but being from Australia, it's a big decision as we can't just get it shipped overnight to return or fix
Great video.. Was that a natural diamond or a lab grown?
Natural
Thank you for your review! For such a big purchase, did they make you sign off on it once it arrived to your door?
Had my stone delivered today. Had to show id and sign
Mine no need show my id. I just told my name and sign my name

@@brettbreedlove2723 3 weeks. I really love my rings. Aldo I bought pair earrings too... I'm very happy with James Allen.
Why didn't you refer to aset image?
We are looking for engagement rings the sapphire one but need help
You will pay a premium for that GIA
Great explanation. Why did you chose a natural diamond over a lab grown?
Natural diamond is more value and well maintained than lab grown one. It's also forever shined meanwhile lab grown will be doomed down a bit over time and needs to go back to the store to polish them back. Furthermore, for the values, natural diamonds can be pass generations and keep their value but the lab grown will never be the same price even less than what the customer originally purchased. In conclusion, lab grown diamonds are good for engagement because it's more affordable but keep the base ring and save more so you can have time to research the actual stones your significant really wants and desires to have and upgrade it for the special anniversaries or events!!!
@@tramho8456 natural diamonds do not keep their price. You will not be able to sell a diamond for the same price you got it.
@AAA. Agreed and lots of people said that but some jewelry stores offer to keep their price originally if you purchase theirs and come back years later to get and upgrade or exchange. Meanwhile lab diamond, one you left the store, the values will be dropped down drastically and no where seems want to buy it back because its human made, not naturally made so no values much on it. Buying diamond is a risk. Lots of people tend to think it's an investment but realistically it's not. Buying jewelry mostly is investing for showing and for passing out to our next generation. Better buy real 24k gold or 9999 gold patties. Best investment
@@tramho8456 engagement rings are meant to be kept forever. If a guy buys an engagement ring expecting to sell it back later, then he ain't serious about the marriage. If you're thinking about resale then divorce is inevitable.
@@tramho8456 There is no difference between a mined diamond and a lab grown diamond. Do you research. Also it's not a good idea to buy a diamond as a store of value.
How would you be able to clarify the diamond you got is indeed the one you paid for? I feel like even if you got the certificate they could easily mistakenly get you the wrong one. Not like there is a barcode or number on the diamond? 🤷🏽♂️
There actually is a number on the diamond
Look for diamonds graded by either AGSL or GIA. The AGSL or GIA report will list an inscription number that you can match to the diamond listed on the report. You will need a minimum of a 30x loupe to be able to clearly read the inscription number on the girdle of the diamond. You can also measure the dimensions of the loose diamond to make sure it matches what's listed on the grading report and see if the inclusions on/in the diamond match what's shown in the inclusion plotting chart of the report.
GIA actually does have the certificate number etched on the girth of every diamond they certify . You just need a magnification loop to see it ! This is also good to know when you take it for cleanings and stuff ,before you leave with your ring ask to view your diamond through their magnification loop to make sure the certification number matches what is on your GIA report ! There are scammers out there who switch stones on unknowing customers and they usually don’t find out until it’s too late their stone has been switched either to a lesser quality diamond or even sometimes a CZ , very scary stuff if you don’t do your research and know what to look for !
@Sophia no to what?
Couldn’t a jeweler in a store do the same, I bought my wife’s diamond unset at a jeweler then went back after it was set to pick up so at some point you need to trust where you buy it from.
They got good commercials thats all i care
F1
Rather get a LAB could got a bigger one
Hello I have color diamond 0,50 ct and 2 ct--for sale
Good for you
Terrible website. Don't buy. Don't do this to yourself!
May I ask why ? I just recently ordered a engagement ring from them and this is the only negative comment I’ve came across yet
Dont do it, waste of money and divorce
Is it 1.5mm or 2.0 mm of ring width? Thanks.
