the diamond was purchased though whiteflash. at the time you could not buy ritani rings with diamonds strait though ritani.
sense I purcased mine they seem to have revamped their settings a bit. Some i think are nice, some dont seem to have the same level of craftsmanship as before the revamp. the setting i had was so well made, though, i must say. the bezel was tight, the pave was delicate and the design perfect.
they dont provide all that much info on their diamonds. if its a round youre looking for, you might be better off buying the round though Whiteflash, as they can get any ritani setting you like. However, if you wanna do it all though ritani, sense they dont provide a lot of info, stick with ideals or their reserve ideals, and be very strict about your specs.
just because they arent mentioned too much on this site doesnt mean much, there are very nice as well as terrible setting designers that just dont get a lot of press on here.
My fiancee's engagement ring (and diamond) are from Ritani, and it is beautiful. I had a great experience with their customer service. As stated earlier, you just have to be picky with your specs because the lack of information up front when compared to some other vendors. Once they bring a diamond in house for you, you can get additional reporting.
I think their settings are great! But I'd personally buy the diamond through Whiteflash as they are Ritani setting dealers. WF provides so much more information on their diamonds and they carry top cut quality and other ideal cuts.
I have a floral halo Ritani ring that was set with my Whiteflash diamond by the Ritani company through my local jeweler.
I love the setting, the design is great.
What I didn't like [speaking as a perfectionist]: The melee could have had more sparkle, the plating was quite thin and wore through right away.
When Ritani set my diamond it was a bit off center in the setting, with a bit more gap on one side and the arrow pattern was crooked enough in the setting to be annoying. [i.e., top arrow at 12:45 o'clock instead of noon so some arrows were just past the prongs].
