I think is it pretty ridiculous to just go around and copy and paste the same bitter comment over and over again.

I have done some research on agape diamonds, and I have found very little information on them. that said i have seen raving reviews made by fans, as well as comments posted online by someone who claims to be the owner of agape and may of the comments "fans" and the "owner" were typed consistently in all capital letters. im not trying to sell you anything or sway you, i just thought it looked a little fishy to me and i wanted to let you know as well. if it turns out that agape is good quality let me know, otherwise be cautious.  listen.

I know DNL has a collection of non-gold rings that are less expensive. it sounds weird that a gold setting would turn copper if it is stamped 14k or 985 or something-(used to work in fine jewelry. do not work for DNL)  Are you sure the setting is gold and not silver or plated?

Diamonds have no intrinsic or commodity value. Gold, oil, a stock all have a par value that you can be guaranteed an amount to get for selling it.  I've never seen a diamond ring increase in value from the purchase price and I've been in the jeweler business for 30 years. It does sure help to have a mean husband, because it’s up to each individual jeweler to determine what they want to give you. I myself have a lot of mined diamonds and have bought DNL simulants. I do like both, but your income should drive your decision not  which elements you possess, both are just rocks. I will tell you that as long as you get them serviced by DNL they will sparkle for years and still be able to cut glass with it. Jewelry doesn’t matter, it’s the love you have for each other that does. Interesting, but it’s the gold or platinum where the

Some people probably buy jewelry as an investment; others to show off what they can spend on it.  Our approach has been to buy pieces that look nice when you're wearing them.  Purchasing DNL products has permitted us to own some very, very nice looking jewelry.  We bought one piece of CZ jewelry a while back, and it just doesn't compare.  There are other synthetic stones out there, but we've been happy with DNL's stones and settings and haven't tried anything else since.  DNL's stones really catch the light, as well as a large number of compliments. We have had only good experiences with DNL.  Granted we have never needed their customer service.  Their settings have all been very strong, well-made and attractive; and they've always shipped the correct products quickly.   We have absolutely no affiliation with DNL, but we would recommend them.
