Hi, I'm newbie looking for OEC diamond
I cannot find any through diamond search
So could you suggest any vendor/jeweler who could help sourcing OEC?
I have my heart set on warmer color OEC and will make a split shank halo of it
You haven't given a budget or any other specs, but look at Jewels by Grace, Love Affair Diamonds, or Old World Diamonds. If you're after a vintage cut with modern light performance, you could also look at the August Vintage line by Good Old Gold.
Genuine OECS - Love Affair Diamonds, Jewels By Grace, Adam at Old World Diamonds, but contact him by phone because emailing is fairly useless unlike the others who all respond to emails, maybe enquire at Singlestone too.... Sometimes Diamonds by Lauren gets the odd one and IDJ will find you a well priced one if you specifically know what to ask for.
For newly cut perfectly performing old cut stones Victor Canera and Good Old Gold.
And for the adventurous one of the known vendors on Ebay (google via the search engine on here to see if they have a good rating or not) or post pics of potential stones and make sure they are either certified or if they come with nothing and are not from one of the reliable vendors mentioned then get an approved appraiser (see drop down list above) to look at them because they are often out (vendors over estimate) in colour and clarity in their descriptions. If you are new and have no clue what you are looking at then probably wise to stick to one of the above mentioned vendors.
What size and colour preferences do you have and general budget? By "warm" what colour range are you considering?
