Looking for a RB...

Hello everyone,

I'm back looking for a bit more assistance. I've been saving and am ready to purchase a stone. After talking with my GF some more and showing her Max and Sams _incredible_ ring (https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/victor-canera-cushion-halo-engagement-ring.224202/) by VC she is into the round brilliant with a cushion halo. I'm sold on Victor's settings, the problem now is finding a H&A for him to set. Using the above ring as a guide I figure I should be able to get a 1.5ct I/SI1 with plenty left over to get here whatever setting she wants OR go a bit bigger for the stone.

Victor doesn't have any stones of that particular variety right now; there are a few H color but the price is markedly higher and it makes me wonder if the complaint about the price of his stones isn't in effect? Using the PS stone search feature whiteflash has similar stones for a few $k less. This begs the question, are there any competitor RBs that VC won't set (similar to GoGs antique cushions)?

Is the discount with going to VC for the whole package worth the premium? I'm sure you all will have some solid advice as always!
Thanks!
 
ditto flyingpig...I think he does give a discount on the setting when you buy the stone but not sure if it makes up
for the extra cost.
 
Thanks y'all. I really am set on using victor for the setting, I'm just that impressed with the quality of his settings. I'm also willing to wait (more than my gf :D). The price difference for stones could potentially mean the difference between a single or double halo, which isn't insignificant.
 
I read the thread - my takeaway was he will set them in the offseason, so to speak. Is that incorrect?
 
Is this the offseason?

You would have to speak to him because I don't think he has an off season and I think it is rare cases only. You also have to be careful, in my opinion, as you have stated here your intention is to save money by getting the stone elsewhere. My impression is that is what he is trying to avoid by offering packages... avoiding you going elsewhere for the center stone.

Is this the offseason?
actually, this is the on season as I have found out with Caysie.
 
you need to ask VC, not us.
 
He can source a stone for you; you need to let him know you would like him to start looking...
