I’m not sure if any of you remember me but a few weeks ago I was asking for anyone’s advice on which cushion I should buy. You can find that thread here. I ended up buying the august vintage cushion 1.04 H VS2.
Early last week I had my diamond sent to Leon Mege directly from Good Old Gold. Last Thursday Leon via Rachael (one of his associates) sent me the official work order. The quote on the work order was more than I was initially told and subsequently budgeted for therefore I will not be able to afford my ring made by him.
As of today my diamond has been returned to GOG although that was an adventure in itself.
If anyone is ever in the market to buy this halo setting from Leon I was ultimately quoted 5k in labor. (Melee weight section quoted $1100 per carat in addition to labor for all melee work but did not give an estimated weight so it was probably included in labor price???) This setting is a 2 star price based on his 5 star price ratings.
I have explained the reason why I ended up breaking my anticipate budget below. After that I have explained how I tried to have my diamond returned to GOG.
I do apologize that this post will be so long but I wanted it to be in detail so if anyone on this forum ever starts to have this situation happen to them they know what to expect. Hopefully other potential customers can learn how to deal with the situation differently next time. I do have a couple questions regarding the quote and shipping procedures which I ask later on. Please feel free to chime in on any of those questions.
