Hi all...
Is the above possible? The boy and I are probably going to purchase the center stone from his uncle, who''s a wholesaler in NYC. But...I keep hearing that many jewelers will not set a ring or a stone you did not buy from them. I would love to use my family jeweler, but he''s giving me the same line. So, here are my questions...
1. Why do jewelers have this policy?
2. Is there any way to get around it? We can say the stone is from his family perhaps.
3. Alternatively, does anyone know a reputable jeweler in NYC I can go to for this?
The boy is very picky in terms of quality. Originally, he only wanted to buy the diamond/setting from Tiffanys but now I think he''s come around. Also, I think we will get the setting custom made, so I need to be able to trust the jeweler and talk to them face to face (hence, needs to be in NYC).
Thanks in advance!
Jules
