Howdy! I am getting my wife a 10 stone, 20 points each, half-ish eternity band for our ten year anniversary. I can't decide between Brian Gavin, WhiteFlash, and a local jeweler. All rings are 18k white gold. The specs for the rings and prices are as follows:
Brain Gavin: Brian Gavin Signature hearts and arrows, U-prong half eternity, I, SI1, $5500
White Flash: A Cut Above hearts and arrows, Kimberly band, F-G color, VS2, $5325
Local jeweler: hearts and arrows (unknown maker), U-prong half eternity, G, VS2, $5700
Brian Gavin's stones come with a certificate and images (ASET, ideal scope, etc) and that is why they say theirs are more expensive. They also say their H&A stones are the better than other H&A. My local jeweler says his H&A are "the best of the best" and I kind of want to use him since I used him for our engagement ring, but I don't want to overpay or get an inferior product.
Are all H&A equivalent? Is is worth paying more for BG stones since they come with a certificate (AGS)? Are BG H&A stones actually better than others? What about WF stones compared to BG? Can I trust my local jeweler that his H&A stones are just as good as BG stones?
Thanks for all the help!
