Buy Your Diamonds at Costco

costcodiamond

Because selling Picassos wasn’t enough, Costco has entered into the luxury jewelry market. They have a fancy yellow diamond ring for $180,000 on its website. It’s Costco’s most expensive jewelry item. They also recently sold a 1.44 carat pink diamond ring for $98,000. The ring has a 10.61 carat fancy intense yellow stone, with yellow and white pave diamonds set in a platinum and yellow gold band. In keeping with Costo tradition, it’s a discount. The ring is actually valued at over $264,000. Of course there is no little blue box but if where it comes from isn’t important to you and prices are Costco may be the place to go for jewels.

Thanks to luxist for this posting.
