I am looking at buying one of the diamond rings that is currently being advertised. 2.5 caret for 3,500.00. How can I be confident this is a diamond and not counterfeit. Sorry. Not meaning to offend, but they marked it down 70%. That's a bit scary.

There should be a Proof of certification provided. Check that first, send Groupon support an email about your concerns. If I looked up the same ring. Is it being offered by Bliss? And 14k white gold? There is a description provided. From what I can see everything is there. I will tell you that there are 2 different scales for determining the clarity of diamonds. One is much more stricter that the other. Sorry I don't remember the names of them, but my guess is that the lower scale is being used to determine the clarity. I-J at 12-13 is about the standard for most diamonds bought in a jewelry store. Walmart would be n-m at 21-24 clarity. Print out the page so you have a copy as proof of the description. Take it to a jeweler and have it appraised. If it doesn't match, you have so many days to return the item. Groupon will keep a record of your emails and question sent. You can also contact Bliss Jewelry to confirm everything before you buy. An additional step that I recommend is to first sign up for ebates if you don't have an account. If you by it through the ebates site you will get back up to 12% of the sale price back. That's a lot of change back. No catch. I by everything through ebates. Yes you can return the item. Just make sure you are following the process.

Don't take that risk

Absolutely make sure it is certified as gia or gsa (there are 2 bodies that certify diamonds) and find out if it is manufactured. There are ne2 diamonds that are real, but made in a lab. Be careful with diamonds and as suggested contact Groupon support with questions.

I just know jewelry carries a massive mark up. But know nothing about this actual ring, can you return it if not real? Groupon stands behind their stuff.
