Here''s the scoop: I have already visited a B&M specifically for the reason that they were a licensed HoF retailer. About 2 years ago, I went to another HoF licensed dealer, not knowing about HoF and I was blown away at how those babies sparkle (even in the natural light). The reason I didn''t go back to the other dealer was the condescending tone he used because I was not a gemologist, ie. grabbing my hand and moving it into the right position to view the diamond. This B&M has winows galore and only case lighting so he showed me a HoF in the natural light and (I have heard this from others as well), they glimmer so much that they appear to be larger. I have been reading all of these posts concerning HoF on how they pump up the price for brand name only, can get other H&A for cheaper, etc. I am in a bit of a pickle because no I have heard from the Devil''s Advocate. Right now I am looking at $8,350 for Hearts on Fire Dream Diamond, 0.787, H, VS2 which includes the Single Solitaire Chevron Setting (a platinum band with intricate hearts carved on the outside). I was looking at similar H&A designs and it seems to be fairly similar in price. Go with the H&F or seek alternatives? Thank you.
