I found my ideal stone and purchased it from Excel (thanks Judah and Barry). They are awaiting shipping instructions. I want the stone placed in a Simon G setting (TR 160). They don''t work with Simon G so I have to go through someone else to get the job done. I have received the lowest quote from Kranichs. Has anyone worked with them? I''m not dead set on getting the very lowest price, and would be comfortable paying a few dollars more if need be to work with someone with a stellar reputation. They have suggested that I order the ring through them and have Excel send the stone directly to Simon G. Sound Kosher? I realize I can simply have the stone sent to me and work with a local B&M. Any suggestions or recommendations (per the wife...the setting is non negotiable).
