Best place to buy a diamond?

[act1980]

Does anyone have any idea how much cheaper diamonds are in Dubai compared with the UK? I will obviously haggle but I want to get an idea of how much discount I can achieve. For example, if I was looking at say a £10k diamond here, what % could I knock off of that in Dubai? Thanks!

Hi not sure if we are not allowed to mention names with people just putting 'c'. I also bought my ring in Dubai from a shop for £4600 it was valued here at around £10,500.

We are back in Dubai early June.

Thanks for your reply. When did you buy your diamond? can You remember what % you were able to negotiate?

I bought mine in Florida at Jareds

It’s been valued at £9k more than I paid for it straight away because of the exchange rate

I’d def buy in Florida again if I was going to get another

Make sure it’s a reputable store where you get a certificate of authenticity and can see all the gradings (cut, colour, carat and clarity)

You can look at the stones through a magnifier if you buy an individual stone and get it set
