First time poster alert!!
I am a regular on the forums using all the thoughtful well written threads to educate myself about diamonds/settings and oogling over all the pictures. So let me start by saying thanks for helping the male consumer feel so much more at ease about the process.
I am so excited to say that the search for the woman I want to marry has ended (I FOUND HER!!) and now comes the fun part of searching for that stunner of a diamond and setting to match the beauty of a lady I get to spend the rest of my life next to.
I am looking for advice on how to tread the delicate? balance of buying a diamond from one vendor and setting it with another.
Planning on a newly cut vintage faceted cushion (AVC from GOG, true antique from LM, or Canera antique cushion)
I feel a kinship with Johnathan from GOG and his AVCs (I have watched so many videos from him I kind of feel like a GOG groupie) but the settings at LM and VC seem to speak to me.
So how does that work?
Do they get mad or refuse to set the diamond you already have or is it a non issue?
How about some opinions (I know everyone has some!!) on if I should take a closer look at LM or VC for both the diamond and settings.. Or GOG for a setting?
Once I get the choices narrowed down you know I'll be coming to the forums to ask opinions and share the experience from diamond to setting to "big reveal" and be able to add tons of photos to that other forum topic over there...
