Hi, we would really appreciate your advice -
Our jeweler is located in another country, but we won't be able to go there again before the wedding so we're thinking of having our wedding bands made locally. The concern is that we don't know any local jewelers. When it comes to eternity bands, my understanding is there are no GIA certifications involved, so how do we know exactly what we're getting? Is it based on visual inspection and trust, normally? Or an independent appraisal? Thank you.
