Hi everyone! I have some questions regarding mounting a diamond. I bought my stone @ Whiteflash and setting at Bailey Banks and Biddle. A very reputable independent appraiser told me that unless the place you bought your diamond at is mounting it, any other jeweller will not take responsibility for damages that may occur during the process. My questions is as followed:
1. Is the independent appraiser correct in saying that? There is this local jeweller (Pricescope recommended) with fabulous reviews where I am thinking of getting my stone mounted. I have asked them point blank if they would replace my stone if it gets damaged during the mounting process, they said yes they have insurance that covers it. They also reassured me that I can even sit in and watch. Can I trust this jeweller or are they BSing me?
2. Can anyone share their experiences with me regarding mounting a stone at an indenpendent jeweller? What are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
