Hi everyone! Longtime reader, first time poster. I have a question I'm hoping you all can answer!
My 10th wedding anniversary is coming up, and my husband would like to re-set my engagement ring for me. It's a family heirloom, and I've always disliked the setting, it's just not to my taste (and it looks a bit worse for the wear and dated). After doing a ton of research (especially on this site!) I've settled on the Emilya setting by Victor Canera. It's just perfect -- everything I wanted all in one, and it appears to be within our budget based on what I've read.
The problem is that we live in NYC, and traveling to LA to meet him in person just isn't feasible with small kids, etc. I know Leon Mege and Steven Kirsch are located in NYC, but I just don't like their work as much -- I looked at Frankie's side by side settings comparison post on this site, and spent some time looking at through their sites. It also seems like VC is better to work with? If I'm going to have my ring re-set, I want to get just what I want, you know?
So my question is: has anyone here ever worked with VC while being located far from LA, and not seeing/meeting him in person? What was it like? Would you recommend it? Is it a terrible idea? Did you feel safe/confident in doing so? Am I making a terrible mistake even considering it? Looking for anyone's personal experience/advice!
Thank you guys in advance -- I love this place, it's so helpful and informative.
