Royal Asschers in NYC?

stevied Rough Rock Total Posts: 12 Last Post: 7/18/2007 Member Since: 7/3/2007	What's the best place to but RA's in NYC? I know they're sold at Michael C. Fina and GOG on Long Island. Does anyone know anywhere else, or places in the diamond distrct? Also, is there any evidence of the premium paid for an RA over a "regular" asscher?

I'm afraid I can't tell you whether a RA is better than an excellent regular asscher. I'd personally be open to one without the RA brand to try to get more size. ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

The faceting pattern on the RA is patented, and thus a bit different than a regular asscher, but similar looks can be achieved with the regular one IMO. Mark at Engagement Rings Direct is in the diamond district. He's great and very good with fancy shapes in general. I'm sure he could source some for you.

stevied Rough Rock Total Posts: 12 Last Post: 7/18/2007 Member Since: 7/3/2007	Thanks for these. I've seen both RA's and "regulars" in person but never side-by-side. As I'm still undecided (though definitely leaning towards the RA), I'm hoping to find a place in NYC where I can see them next to each other to do a true evaluation. So keep the recs coming!
