Reputable vendors to work with from out of state?

[Girl505]

I have been lurking on these boards for the past month and have come across 3 vendors that are highly recommended which include Diamonds by Lauren, Good Old Gold, and Whiteflash. I’m wondering if there are any other highly reputable pricescope vendors I should consider?

It depends based on exactly what you're looking for!

These would be my personal top choices for these categories (and I have bought from several):

Colored diamonds: Diamonds by Lauren

Superideal cut round and princess cut diamonds: Whiteflash and High Performance Diamonds

New antique style cut diamonds: August Vintage, Inc (owned by Jonathan who used to be with GOG), Victor Canera, and GemConcepts has a limited amount of specialty cuts available

Pave handforged settings: Victor Canera

High quality antique (and other) style settings and excellent design: Caysie van Bebber (CVB Inspired Design)

Good quality settings at a lower price point (but you need to have a clear idea of your design and be able to verbalize and visualize changes needed in the CAD images): David Klass

Now if what you are searching for doesn't fall into any of these categories, I can add others, perhaps!

I’m particularly interested in radiant and cushion cut diamonds and heard diamonds by Lauren specializes in fancy cuts. I’m looking to check out a couple different vendors to try and find the best diamond for my budget.

I almost added radiant cuts to Diamonds by Lauren! So that would be fine. Another popular vendor in NYC who could call those types of stones in (or pick them up) and who has good pricing is ID Jewelry. Ask for Yekutiel.
