Hi all! I posted a couple weeks ago about my search for an oval ring. I am now pretty sure I am getting the setting from ERD/Brilliantly Engaged. I was planning on looking at GOG for the stone, since I have heard so many great things and love the videos Jonathan provides. However, someone also recommended getting the stone from Brilliantly Engaged, and as that's where the setting is coming from, that'd obviously be easier.
I am wondering:
1) if anyone has any insight into whether their prices will be comparable
2) has had experience with buying an oval from Brilliantly Engaged. Do they send pictures of the stone? Videos? Are they good at working with people who are picky about what they want? In my mind, most ovals I see I am not excited about - it is only a few that have the kind of faceting patterns I like and have minimal bowtie. It seems like a tall order, so I need a vendor that will work with me and not try to sell me the first stone they find.
3) Does GOG still provide comparison videos, today, in 2015? Do they charge extra for this?
4) Does Brilliantly Engaged charge more to set an externally sourced stone/give some sort of discount for buying both setting & diamond?
Either way, I will want to see ASET images - but from what I've heard, both vendors could provide this.
