First of all I would like to thank everybody here at PS for all the helpful info that I have been reading for the past 2-3 months. I am shopping for an E-ring and I am glad to have stumbled upon this site.
Now for my problem, after a 3 month search and research, I finally found the stone that I am looking for. I have contacted the vendor about this and have all the specs for the stone. The vendor gave me a good price for the stone. However, I would have to wire transfer the money to the vendor before the stone can get shipped. How safe is wire transfer? Is there a ay to get my money back in case there is a problem with the stone?
Also, should I have the vendor ship the stone to an independent appraiser instead of having the stone sent directly to me? If so, do you have a link for independent appraisers in my area (ZIP:10462).
As for the stone, I wanted to have it set on a 4-prong tiffany setting, who would you recommend? Who can make the best 4-prong Tiffany setting? If you have pictures of a 4-prong Tiffany set E-ring from the sides that would be great. I want to get a feel as to how the prongs should look (height, size, style, ,etc).
One last thing, beside the GIA certificate what other documents/certs should I ask the vendor to prove that the stone is legit? Since I am buying the stone without ever seeing it first, I am very reluctant. The only thing I have is this vendor''s reputation.
Thanks in advance.
