Hi all,
I mentioned this earlier, but want to say it again. THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HELP!
Now, here is my situation. I purchased a Beverly K ER setting at a company called "Village Jewelers" in Alrington, TX. I didn''t feven know it was a Beverly K until someone pointed it out to me. The whole reason I got it though was because my soon to be Fiance''s twin sister confirmed that the style below would be exactly the one my girl friend would love!Somebody helped me track it down online and the setting is attached below.
I just ordered a diamond on Blue Nile that will fit this setting yesterday and it will be arriving tomorrow. Now I live in Seattle, WA. so having "Village Jewelers" set the stone is not what I''d like to do because I do not feel secure mailing the setting and the diamond to Texas. I would rather find a jeweler here in Seattle that will resize the mounting and set the stone. My question is, should I have the stone and mounting appraised and insured before I let a jeweler lay their hands on it.
Does any one also have any suggestions for a good "REPUTABLE" jeweler here is Seattle that will resize the ring and set the stone for me? How long should I expect for something like this to be done?
