Hi there. I’ve been lurking in this forum for a while and have learned so much. This is my first post here. I’ve decided to have a ring made by Victor Canera (I never would have known about hand-forged jewelry if it hadn’t been for PS!). Having never been through this process, I am a little nervous…
I purchased the diamond already and am having it shipped (insured) directly to VC from a diamond dealer that is local to me. I have no formal agreement with VC yet, other than a quote from them and an email back from me agreeing to the quote. The sales manager then asked me to send them the diamond. This is the part that makes me nervous… My diamond is going to show up at VC in a couple of days – I don’t know if the company that shipped out the diamond will have my name included in the package. If not, how will VC know it’s my diamond? Everything I’ve read here is that VC is amazing to work with, high integrity, etc. and I don’t question that. I’m just slightly uneasy about sending off something so valuable and it showing up without any identifying paperwork and without an already-in-place agreement with VC. For those of you who have done this – do you receive a ‘receipt’ from VC stating that they are in possession of your diamond or is this just something I need to trust? I know many people have had diamonds sent to jewelers without incident.
Thank you – any advice or similar stories you can share are very much appreciated!!
BTW – about the ring… I’m having the Victor Canera Anne Marie ring made, which I only know about thanks to the poster on PS who is the original Anne that the ring is named after! Reading her posts and seeing her gorgeous photos helped to solidify the ring I wanted. Thank you for the inspiration!
