So I have been researching for well over 4 months now, trying to find a round brilliant within the quality constraints I had in mind. I was set on I or J color with cut being the most important factor. I narrowed down my search to about 4 diamonds and had my eyes set on one that Tim was selling at Good Old Gold. After inquiring and asking him to put it on hold, Tim informed me that it was sold and then recommended another diamond in stock and although it was more expensive, he was willing to come down on the price. Tim was extremely customer focused and was always very prompt with emails and phone calls... overall experience with Tim has been an A+ and would recommend GOG to any friend (or stranger) searching for a diamond!
GOG sent the diamond to Martin Fuller in Fairfax, VA and I scheduled a visit within 2 weeks. My experience with Martin has also been superb. He was extremely informative and walked me through the process of appraising and made the experience so much more comfortable! On top of that, he was willing to personally deliver the diamond to my jeweler since I live 2 hours away... the jeweler is a 15 minute drive from Martin''s office... I would also give Martin an A+ on being accommodating, responsible and customer focused.
Which brings me to my jeweler. I contacted a handful of Simon G authorized dealers and ended up giving my business to Charleston Alexander, in Falls Church, VA (www.wherethediamondsare.com). Kate was very helpful and accommodating and was willing to work for her customer. If anyone is interested in a Simon G setting (or other) and is in the area, I would highly recommend them as they did a great job with setting my diamond, in time.
Which brings us to the pictures...!
PM me if any of you have any questions that I may be able to answer... and thank you Pricescope for existing!! Without you I would be another clueless customer preyed upon by B&M stores (ok... that was a little harsh!... not all of them are vultures!).
You can definitely see the K color in the side pictures but face up, the diamond is white as snow!
