I went to Zoara after coming to the sobering realization that a 1ct Gia certified diamond engagement ring was way beyond my budget at the many jewelry stores I went to in Southern California. However I was absolutely determined to get a beautiful GIA certified 1ct diamond for the price I was looking for, and Zoara made that possible! I was very skeptical at first because the prices were so far below what many jewelry stores had told me the cost would be (we're talking 7 to 12k range for a 1ct engagement ring). To make a long story short, by buying the diamond from Zoara (a nearly flawless vs1 I color), and buying the setting from a wholesale outlet, I was able to build an absolutely stunning (truly, stunningly beautiful) engagement ring for under $4,000. Zoara's customer service was amazing and their packaging of the diamond was extremely well done and came with a GIA certificate and appraisal, as well as a ring box with an led light that made for an amazing presentation when it came time for my proposal (which went perfectly!). So I cannot speak for the negative experiences that some customers may have had (and was quite surprised to see some of the negative reviews), but my experience was stellar and I paid thousands of dollars less than had I gone the conventional route through a jeweler. For me personally, you get a 10 out of 10! Thank you!
