I was able to find a shop in canada who has literally the best customer service of any business I have ever encountered. Its a small precision cutting outfit wife and husband team that answered a million questions, took tons of photos and was able to find stones that matched each other well and even took video of them together in different lighting conditions. Really went out of his way and held my hand through the whole process.
What sold me was his reviews. I couldnt find a single bad one and everyone had a similar story to mine.

I was able to get 2 matching half carat alexandrite trillions and one 2.3ct color shift sapphire along with a bunch of diamond cut 1.6mm small stones. I took these to a local jeweler in town and was able to take my sketches in and come up with a design that worked right.
Anyway, I ended up skipping the color change garnet. I got a chance to see some in real life and just wasnt super happy with it. The result is amazing. Im asking her saturday! So hard to hold it in!
