You know, if I recall correctly, I think Quest will resize their rings for free for life. They'll give it a nice polish while it's there too! I need to get mine to them for a polish one of these days. I've banged mine a couple of times, and I'd like the nicks polished out. that's good to know. here's my hand shot ______________________________ "You kept making all the stops?"

Logan Sapphire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,130 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/5/2003	Thanks Kaleigh! No, they're not new. I got them around January of last year. Quest sourced the stones for me too. They have the La Pousette backs. Quest also redid my ering setting, from your standard 6 prong setting to a Tiffany crown head. I had them set mine a little higher than Tiffany does, though, because I like to see the culet. I don't have any pictures though. ------------------------------ Changed my name from mmeowcollins to Logan Sapphire.

Not sure to ask this...did they, like, know what they were doing and all? I know they know how to work with metals, but do they speak cut?

Not sure to ask this...did they, like, know what they were doing and all? I know they know how to work with metals, but do they speak cut? I think they would speak cut. I asked for H&A or close to it, and while I don't think my stones technically are H&A, I think they look pretty darn good. One got a 1.8 HCA and I think the other was like a 2.1 or something like that. Quest had their source run a Sarin, and they also did one for me when they received the stones. ------------------------------ Changed my name from mmeowcollins to Logan Sapphire.

I would wonder this too but after seeing LS's martini stud head on up above, those crisp arrows are speaking my language. Love all the Quest rings, they really are stunning, Kaleigh's is soooo my favorite with that yummy asscher.

At a time when I was seriously considering trading in/selling my pear, I talked to Pete about what I was looking for in a round. We got pretty deep into what I considered ideal and my specific angle requirements. He did not flinch once.

Kaleigh Ideal Rock Total Posts: 25,905 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/18/2004	Thanks Mara!! Regular Guy, when I spoke to Pete about doing my ring, I was very specific in my requests about what kind of mele they would use for the ring. I wasn't expecting H&A for tiny stones, but he knew exactly what I was talking about. One reason my ring got delayed was because he didn't order enough to complete it and a batch came in with flouresence and he sent them back. noobie told me this. I was really impressed with their attention to detail and if hubby doesn't divorce me in the future I will use them for my next project once I think of one.

BrightSpot Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,783 Last Post: 8/4/2009 Member Since: 4/14/2005	Here's another hand shot of my ring. I just want to echo what everyone else posted about Quest. They're all wonderful to work with, they're so professional, helpful & friendly, they go out of their way to do things right & stay in touch with you during the process. I think they do exquisite work too! I had a great experience working with them on my e-ring & they also set my yellow sapphire from Michael E. into an old mounting of mine. (I'll post pics one of these days! ) They replaced the prongs on my sidestones free of charge & totally handmade a new head for the ring. I love it! I was in VA recently & stopped by Quest to have a few scratches polished out of the shank of my e-ring. Pete was happy to do it & the ring looked like new in only 5 minutes! He even told me that I hadn't done anything wrong to the ring--scratches happen over time & he told me to feel free to drop by anytime & he'd polish them out for me. (Good thing I live in NYC or I'd be in every month! ) As diamondlil said, they also offer free sizing for life.
