Buying a Ring

Back to first Five Things

Thing No. 6  

Stick to the Moules Frites in Antwerp. 

Antwerp is a lovely city.  And it is indeed, the diamond capital of the world but this is the belly of the beast when it comes to those diamond dealers we were talking about.  The only way you’re going to get a better deal here than in the US is if you have a gun.  And btw: there seems to be some confusion that the so-called diamond capital is Amsterdam.  It’s not.  They just both start with A.

Thing No. 7  

Get An Insurance Rider On A Loose Diamond. 

Otherwise it won't be covered while it's sitting in your house, or while it's being appraised and set.  You can get this added to your homeowners policy for a short term.
