Those links seem fine, but in this case I think you probably should be finding a decent B&M and paying the $ for the making and diamonds in the same excercise. My experiance with USA indicates a stand alone store not a part of a mall chain is the place to go. Baguettes are prone to chipping during setting and taking stones to mounters and expecting them to pay for chipped stones is unrealistic when the job could cost them more than they quote. Also selecting diamonds that you the jeweller are responsible for setting means if you are setting them yourself - you will choose more carefully. The internet is not especially price competitive in this area, so you will probably find smaller differences in cost anyway. Tell us where you are and we will see what we can do for reffferals. |
