Hi,
I used Greenhouse jewellers just up from the main square and was not disappointed, its a family business with the brothers selling textiles and property. I didn't get a certificate with my diamond but when I got a Rose St Edinburgh valuation it was exactly as it was described and the valuation was double what I paid. What I found out about diamonds is that most are purchased from belgium, so it doesn't really matter where in the world you buy them. What you have in your favour is the exchange rate just now, so buy in lira you will get a better deal....but don't be afraid to buy, although sometimes better if you get a certificate with the diamond. I got the gold for free when I bought the diamond and also got a video of the jeweller making the ring and after about 3 years we got the ring set in Platinum for £200, which was great.
all the best,
Archieb
