1/2 Price Diamonds Rings
Comments

What a romantic idea!Why would anyone buy a diamond ring from tesco? You could take your (future) Mrs to Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world, choose a diamond yourself and get it set. The diamonds in high street shops over here are crap colour and clarity. IE they don't sparkle!
I was just about to suggest buying Cubic Zirconium as a cheaper alternative :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
I would rather wait for the 'Value' range to come out:o0

Me and my fiancee went over there, got brilliant service at http://www.philippe-harold-jewellers.be/ and came back with a flawless D colour diamond (the best colour) for half the price that it would sell for here.
Here is a better explanation of the 4 C's... http://www.philippe-harold-jewellers.be/qualityCharts.htm
Yeah right, cos £900 each for flights to Antwerp is a massive saving innit!
And by the way, the diamond capital of the world is Kimberley, South Africa.The pen is mightier than the sword, and considerably easier to write with.

Are you looking at flying on a diamond encrusted plane?
Antwerp is a couple of hours drive from Calais, or 20 minutes train from Brussels after a trip on Eurostar.
Think about it like this: Buy a diamond ring, get a free holiday to Antwerp. There's lots of galleries, museums, beer and Belgian chocolate!And by the way, the diamond capital of the world is Kimberley, South Africa.
Put "diamond capital of the world" into Google. I think you'll see it disagrees!0 -

Google also says I can increase the size of my p3nis by 3.5 inches in a few weeks. Do you believe that too?Put "diamond capital of the world" into Google. I think you'll see it disagrees!
Antwerp may do the majority of the world's diamond cutting, but Kimberley is the "True" diamond capital of the world.
OMG for some reason I never even thought of an alternative to flying!! My apologies for my quick reaction (and ignorance to ground based travelling) to that. Please also accept my apologies for the apparent harsh tones in my previous post. It was not my intention to come across like that.Are you looking at flying on a diamond encrusted plane?
