Good afternoon all,
I am going to get a custom setting made for a cushion cut stone I just bought. The design I have in mind has a basket, four prongs, pave or bead-set diamonds, and some engraving on both sides of the shank and the back half of the shank (pave down half of the shank and engraving for the other half). The quotes from whiteflash and quest were within $100 of each other. The great news is, from my research on Pricescope, the general consensus is that either of these vendors would do a wonderful job! I have reviewed the folders of whiteflash and quest designs in the "show me the ring" folder and am pleased with the craftsmanship of both shops. Neither vendor is local for me.
So, I could just flip a coin - but i wanted to ask:
For this sort of design, would you suggest one vendor over the other? Does anyone have an opinion whether one vendor have more expertise with this sort of design (especially the engraving)?
Thanks in advance!
