Anyone used Simon Bonin from lookdiamonds.com for a setting in Toronto?

[shinji1]

Hi all,

Just purchased a diamond from usacerted. While its getting shipped here in Toronto I''m pondering the available choices for constructing a setting. Martin from usacerted recommends Simon from lookdiamonds as a setter. I''m just wondering if anyone here had experience with Simon and his work, and if so would you recommand him to construct your setting?

I have my heart set on the traditional tiffany 6-prong setting, nothing too fancy. I was originally considering the setting from Superbcert, but shipping, finding a dedicated setter, and going through customs seems to be too risky for me. Did anyone who worked with Simon ordered such a setting? How was his craftsmanship?

HI:

If you use PS search engine (search top third of screen) and type in Simon''s name, you will find at least 5 threads discussing Simon''s work. Hope this helps.

cheers--Sharon

Hi canuk-gal,

I searched and read those thread. They indeed talked about simon''s work, but not in great detail.

Just curious, did you happen to have used Simon''s services?

HI:

No, I have not used his services--sorry. Could you ask USA Certed for some references?
