I’ve never purchased a rep before so I need guidance

I inquired about the price of this ring with Caratsky and I was quoted $1950 for platinum, 18k & natural diamonds.

I feel like that’s TOO cheap especially for10g and around 1.0-1.3 carats

Has anyone actually tested their jewelry after receiving anything from them? Someone told me they could be using the cheapest materials there are, is that the case? Maybe the clarity of the diamonds is low? He says they’re VS clarity.

Also if I were to receive the ring & discover that maybe it isn’t real gold or platinum or that the diamonds aren’t natural what happens then?

EDIT: I asked about a certificate & he said the diamonds are too small for certificates.

I’m stuck between these two bags I’m honestly struggling to choose.

I’m leaning more towards the rogue 34. I love how roomy it is, I love the lock and it just looks SO nice. I don’t like the fact that it can’t be worn cross body because it ends up looking really weird.

I wasn’t really interested in the elora until I saw it in store. It’s stunninggg. It looks good worn any way, too handle, shoulder bag, or cross. The idea of the strap is so nice, it can be converted from shoulder to crossbody very easily. My only issue is that it doesn’t have a lot of room, it would probably only fit my wallet or my cam, AirPods & a lip combo.

I think it’s important to mention that I don’t have any brown bags whatsoever.
I also prefer my bags to be timeless.

I’ve had the rogue 34 in maple on my mind for over 6 months now. I don’t own any dark brown bags so I am in need of one. I want something leaning closer to timeless and I feel like the urge to buy this bag is making me overlook the fact that it isn’t really timeless but trendy.

What do you guys think?

I’m stuck between these 2 brown bags, I don’t know which one to buy.

I really like the rogue 34 but my issue is I own a lot of coach bags. I don’t have a huge collection of bags to begin with, but the majority of it is coach.

That being said, the rogue 34 doesn’t have any large logos and I actually fell in love with it before realizing it was coach.

I really like the dragon diffusion one and I like the brand. It feels like real mid-range luxury to me compared to coach. I also really love the bag & the color, I feel like the color is easier to style bc the rogue 34 has a hint of red.

I’m obviously leaning more towards the coach atm but I don’t want to regret my purchase 1/2 years later. I want a bag that I’d use 5 years down the line with no regret. I think they’re both really good quality (I heard the dragon diffusion sometimes transfers colors but that seems like a minor issue that can be solved with inserts) & they’re similar prices so that doesn’t really make a difference.

I want something that I could truly wear for everything. They both fit my iPad for uni, along with my everyday essentials (wallet, keys, power bank) so I think the true question is can they be dressed up for hangouts? Like if I were to go to a mall or to dinner with my friends would this bag look good or not?

What do you guys think? Which one of these would I truly wear down the line?
