Buying a diamond engagement ring in Abu Dhabi or Dubai
 
Does anyone have any advice on where to get diamond engagement rings in Abu Dhabi or Dubai? I am cautious of getting ripped off and also will you get more 'ice' for your dirham buying one here in the UAE than in the UK?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I always use Karats in Lamcy Plaza. Odd choice you may say. Hanson the Manager has been a friend of mine for many years. I have taken alot of friends to him. He sources the diamonds separately and then you choose the diamond and he then arranges for it to be set.

Cara has a good reputation also.
