Calling from Melbourne

[swingdoctor]

Hi everyone,
I''m looking to purchase a 1 carat well-ideal cut F color VS2 diamond ring for an engagement. Read about Hearts and Arrows and ICE and Lazare diamonds, is one any better then the other? Also Lazare diamonds can''t be found in Melbourne do you know anywhere that sells it on-line? Any advise on websites that are reliable and reasonably priced? Thanks.

Swingdoctor,
You''re in luck! Not only do you live in a beautiful city, but you''ve got one of the most knowledgeable diamond cut gurus on the planet located in your backyard. Call Garry Holloway at Precious Metals (locations in Canterbury and Brighton) and he''ll do right by you. Fair dinkum. My Aussie wife always rolls her eyes whenever I try to use slang from oz.

Kind regards,
Bill Scherlag

Hi Bill

You will seem really like a shag on a rock mate if this person is from Melbourne Florida

 

[swingdoctor]

No no, Melbourne Australia. Thanks for the help guys.

Hi Garry,
I''ve been meaning to send you an email since your visit here. I hope you''re making it through those short winter days okay (lots of diffuse light for diamond grading though!). How did I know swingdoctor was from your Melbourne and not the Florida Melbourne? Having been to both places, there was a major clue in what he wrote that gave me a good indication of his location. He seemed to indicate that if the diamond wasn''t in Melbourne, then it likely wouldn''t be anywhere else nearby. The Melbourne in FL is located near some rather large metropolitan areas, while your Melbourne is the large metropolitan area. "Shag on a rock"??

-- I can''t wait to use that expression in front of the rellies when I visit Sydney next year!

Sorry Mum, I learned it from Garry. Did I say something bad?
