I wouldn’t have recognised her from those pics! She’s clearly very knowledgeable but somehow seems a bit tainted by her association with qvc. Everyone has a budget and teensy diamond chips can be prettily set and an emotional investment but they have no real monetary value so it rankles to hear the experts raving about what a great deal they are. If I was looking to buy now I’d go to auction. There are some beautiful pieces at good prices. You’re saving a good whack of VAT for a start.

Buying diamonds as an investment is false as soon as you have purchased it new its devalued. When you try and sell it that will give you an idea what the true value is.
