Devientdrow- who did you work with at JA? Everyone here seems to rave about Brian the cutter at WF, and how he will truthfully analyze the stones for you if you can''t go in-person. Does JA have anyone that rivals his expertise and honesty?Date: 8/24/2006 12:17:29 PM

Hmm I don''t think my post workedAnyway i''ll retype it....I was saying I went with James Allen because he was closest to me, and I was soo very scared about buying online. I thought he had the best prices for the stones I was looking at. I came to trust him very much, I thought the customer service was impeccable. I really liked how upfront and honest he was about everything, I got a sense that he took a lot of pride in his work and enjoyed it as well! I''m sure you''ll find those traits in other PS vendors as well! If I ever made a future purchase from them I would have no problems in calling them and telling them my budget and what i''m looking for and have THEM pick out something for me!![]()
I cannot answer for DD, but I will reply that I really believe all of the vendors here are top-shelf when it comes to straight dealings with the clients.Date: 8/24/2006 1:29:18 PM

hehe cushion pal! I''m having trouble with the vendor thing because I want to have loyalty and I''m not sure that''s wise at this point. ESPECIALLY when looking for such a difficult cut. I''ve been disappointed once before and I think I''m approaching this all wrong.Date: 8/23/2006 10:05:37 PM

So if they have the diamond which one would you go with and why?
I can''t find a setting I like yet. I''ve been following DiamondSeeker''s setting saga. The stone I''m looking at is a cushion.
Thanks.
WF is the vendor I''d choose for a round in a nanosecond. I love their customer service and their attitude about helping the customer, it''s awesome. All very nice and polite and thoughtful. Cushions though? I dunno... I think they''ve put most of their efforts into rounds and a few other primary cuts.Date: 8/24/2006 10:33:47 AM

Of all the vendors you''ve listed, I''d choose WF as top pick for a few reasons. They tend to have more inhouse inventory for rounds (and increasingly with princess stones too), and they offer what I consider the best terms on trade-ups.
Having said that, all of the vendors you listed as respected PS vendors, so any of them would be an excellent choice.
HOWEVER.....you mentioned you want cushion, so I''d agree with Mrs. Salvo. I think that Mark at ERD has tremendous access to fancies, and he provides excellent service and pricing.
I agree.....which is why I put the great big "HOWEVER, I see you want a cushion" in there and mentioned that I agreed with Mrs. Salvo's recommendation of ERD.Date: 8/24/2006 2:03:09 PM
