My then-FI (now-DH) and I wanted to get something extra special for our moms to wear at our wedding. After comparing the options available on a short time frame, I decided to go with Yekutiel at IDJ.
We ended up with 2 solid (not hollow!) platinum hinged bangles, with 4.5ctw of diamonds (18 x 0.25ct diamonds) each. I specified I wanted eye clean "Pricescope quality" diamonds and Yekutiel gave me F/G SI diamonds. I was very specific on needing 18 diamonds as "8" is a very lucky number for Chinese people (it's a homonym for the word "rich"). Yekutiel was also able to engrave it to make it extra special.
I never bothered to loupe them as eye clean is good enough for me! They are super white and very sparkly. I could not be more pleased with the quality of the stones.
Our mothers were ecstatic about them. I was especially worried about pleasing my MIL as she has more exacting standards than my mom, but my worries were unfounded. She keeps talking about how pleased she is with the bracelet and how jealous other older ladies are.
