This can be very frustrating and cost a lot of extra money. If there were ever a need to resell the diamond, it is highly unlikely that you would get close to the amount that you paid for it. However, there are some jewelry stores that sell diamonds at wholesale prices. These stores offer top quality diamonds with little to no imperfections in them at a significantly lower cost than most jewelry stores.
