I’d like to start off this topic with a little disclaimer that I am completely knew to this kind of consumer shopping and would greatly value any input offered.
To keep a long story short; I am planning on proposing to my significant other soon. Over the years of us dating she has thrown in subtle hints, that she would prefer an emerald over a diamond if I ever did pop the question. My plan thus far has been to acquire a ring without any center stone in it, and to have a local jeweler set and fit a stone for me.
The dilemma I have is where to go from here. What are the best practices in this situation? Is it possible to work with a local jeweler to acquire an emerald of appropriate size, color etc? Or would it be up to me to purchase one from a 3rd party and only bring both ring and stone into the jeweler to set?
What would be your next steps or advice if you were in my situation?
