I posted this review on his website, but my fiancee and I just want to share how great the engagement ring we got from Jonathan was. Plus, review websites don't let me post the end result.
He's already known here as Rhino, and his website is
https://www.augustvintageinc.net/
So, we wanted a lab grown diamond custom designed engagement ring.
The custom setting:
My fiancee and I had a rough idea of the ring design we wanted, however we still had difficulty visualizing the final product. Jonathan was able to get back to us with a quick 3D draft of what we described. We were then able to work with Jonathan to gradually make changes towards our ideal ring. We must have changed our mind a dozen times, or have been nitpicky about details that would most likely not have shown up in the final product. All this time, Jonathan was amazingly patient with us. He advised us on design and explained what were the physical or design constraints of our ideas.
I received quotes from 3-4 local jewellers (Montreal, QC, Canada), and 3-4 online jewellers. Almost every jeweller will outsource their CAD design to someone else. As a result, you will be dealing with a salesperson, who will pass down your message to the CAD designer. Imagine the nightmare when it's the tenth modifications you want.
This is all to say, Jonathan is a CAD wizard and we are lucky to have directly worked with him.
The diamond:
If you try educating yourself on diamonds on YouTube, you will find Jonathan giving clear and detailed explanations that will help you make an informed decision. The best part about buying a diamond from Jonathan is that they all go through him to verify. He was also able to offer me a range of diamonds in my budget, and offer me his advice based on his experience.
The experience:
Most of our communications were done by chat, and we were able to exchange images and ideas very quickly and efficiently. More importantly, we were dealing with Jonathan, who has experience with the complete process, the entire time.
Thank you again Jonathan!
