Hello ladies!!
Thinking about the design of my e-ring....I am thinking of getting the french or square cut tapered side stones design...I have quotes from the 3 major hand forged - LM , SK and VC. Here are the differences - . The stone I have put a deposit on is 1.78 L AVC
LM -
- highest quote - At this quote it is out of my budget range.
- he has exclusive rights to getting antique french cut stones.
- Will find me something that matches my L colored stone.
- Also said that he will look at the stone and give me suggestions and that is when I bring in the budget. He almost said that french cuts might be out of my budget.
VC -
- 2/3 cost of LM
- he says he can find color calibrated stones for my center stone.
SK
- 1/2 LM
- Square cut stones only. ( so probably quote is understandable). Says french cut will cost you a fortune.
- He says he can find color calibrated stones matching my L stone if I am not okay with the contrast.
Anything that you experts know that I dont know?
What do you all think? Please help.
