So after a brief business trip I arrived home to a few voice mails, and of course one is from my dealer! 10 Bull Logo 1oz bars 1 10oz Bull logo bar 1 20oz Bull logo bar  This 20oz beauty! Love the rippling effect, not seen much on JM poured bars.  oh and had one more message, from my jeweler. It was roughly 300oz of silver or these. I think the g/f will be more happy with these for xmas. Pictures do not do these justice at all!  |

I really like that little 10ozer. What do the bars sell for at your LCS vs say a Canadian Maple for comparison? I only ever see a single bar or 2 at my LCS never anything to write home about.

I have found cash is a good start to building a long term relationship.

I don't know what size those diamonds are from the picture but at roughly $10k I hope they are at least 1.25 carats each and clear. I have a great diamond guy that I can get 1 carat solitaires from for $2k a set depending on clarity. If you decide you want to save some money shoot me a PM and i'll send you his contact info. Not to saying they aren't beautiful and you know the types of women we hangout with love diamonds.
That JM is cool for sure congrats

The diamonds are .50ct each 1ct total, and are considered investment grade diamonds. I went the quality not quantity route lol
They were searched for long and hard, and both are Canadian diamonds which we're the only diamonds I wanted.
IF clarity, D color on one, and E color on the other, Ideal cuts.
to do that in a 1.25 carat were looking at retail around $50g's a diamond. Maybe for an engagement ring lol but not for a set of earrings.

I'm lucky,my wife doesn't like jewelry! She is content to have all of our gold and silver in coin and bar form. Maybe that's why we've made it married for 30 years!

You spent $10k for a .50 carat each that is insane. And the truth is you don't need the clearest diamonds for earrings as no one is gonna get close enough to your GF ears with a loop to see any flaws which couldn't be seen through the naked eye. Engagement rings on the other hand you want as clear as possible. I hate to say it but you way over paid for those, even in that quality my diamond guy said wholesale is $3k after the markup you should have been able to get them for 4-5k.
Honestly I would try to take them back and i'll put you in touch with my diamond guy he will set you straight,
