Ritani Reviews: Legit or a Scam? | Nov 2023 Experience
My Bottom Line Recommendation Ritani dominates the low-cost lab-grown diamonds market with too good to be true unbeatable prices. While they do have very affordable options, the quality of their inventory and videos falls short for making a secure and well-informed purchase (for my taste). For that reason, I think you shouldn’t risk your money […]
Grown Brilliance Reviews: Legit or a Scam? | Nov 2023 Experience
Bottom Line Recommendation Established in late 2021, Grown Brilliance entered the market offering lab-grown diamonds at seemingly unbeatable prices. Although they offer low-cost lab diamonds, their inventory and diamond videos are not good enough to make a safe and informal purchase (for my taste). It’s too good to be true. For that reason, I don’t […]
Brilliant Earth Reviews: Legit or a Scam? | Nov 2023 Experience
Bottom Line Recommendation In a nutshell, Brilliant Earth falls short in comparison to competitors like James Allen, particularly when it comes to diamond visualization.

Rare Carat Reviews: Legit or a Scam? | Nov 2023 Experience
Bottom Line Recommendation Recently Rare Carat changed its business model and joined the big boys’ online competition, along with big names such as James Allen, Blue Nile, and Brilliant Earth.

Zales Lab-Grown Diamonds Review: Are they legit? | 2023 Experience
Bottom Line Recommendation There is no reason to buy a lab-grown diamond from Zales when you can get a much better deal at James Allen and Blue Nile (50% price difference!!!). Zales offers an old-school experience. Everything is pre-chosen for you; you cannot pick the diamond; therefore, you don’t know what you’ll receive. All you can […]
