Hey everyone!
I''ve been a total lurker here for awhile and have finally made myself an account
Here''s my big question:
We''re located in Canada. We''re having my "dream" e-ring and matching band made in California. We''re trying to select a center stone online. It is VERY cost-prohibitive to have the stone sent to us for viewing, however, and to then be sent down to California for setting. As such, we currently intend to purchase online and have the stone shipped directly to the jeweler...without seeing it first
We know what we want "on paper" and have gradually started to become more aware of the difference between GIA and AGS paperwork, and of the benefit of seeing magnified images and ideal scope imaging of diamonds, etc. etc.
Obviously not all of the online dealers have these available though. So my question is, who would YOU recommend online, and in your opinion, what are the "must haves" that we should be getting from the people we deal with before we purchase?
Thanks!
