First of all, as a relatively new lurker, I want to thank everyone here for providing me with an education in this area. However, I still have many questions, which some of you can hopefully help me out with.
My girl loves the Lucida. I have talked to her about it (slyly, of course), and while she is willing to compromise, I want to knock her socks off. After all, this is something she will have for the rest of her life, and I figure I can afford the extra bucks.
Unfortunately, as I do not have a Tiffany store in my town, the transaction will likely take place over the internet/phone. I have visited the store in another city and talked to the gemologist briefly, getting ideas re: price, etc.
I would like to know if the Good Old Gold website illustrations be replicated by any jeweller (specifically, Tiffany)? I'm dropping a lot of coin here, so I'm assuming I will get great service and that they will respond to my every request. I would like digital snapshots that are up to the quality of that provided by Jonathan. Would that be reasonable to ask?
Basically, after this long-winded post, I just want to know what exactly I should be looking for and asking for. The process will work over email/phone initially, then the ring would be shipped out to me for approval. Before I "close the deal," what should my questions/concerns be?
Thank you all in advance for any responses!
