I normally check out CS because the FCD threads typically live here. Doing so I see the most beautiful coloured stone jewellery. I have to admit that CS scare the crap out of me. I feel there is so much education/information/experience needed to truly know a single species. I am hesitant to jump in, but I did dip my toes in.
I also want to preface that I understand Tiffany & Co. do not have the best coloured stones in the world and I am ok knowing that the sapphires are probably heated. I am happy knowing that they are not BE treated and that they do look pretty to my eye.
A couple of months ago I was looking for an Anniversary gift for my wife. And as I said above that seeing all these beautiful coloured stones on CS has stirred something in me. I had left it too late to make a custom piece plus my lack of knowledge probably would have deterred me anyway
I had seen someone post a ring in SMTB that was from Jewels by Erica Grace, which caused me to check out their website. Lo, and behold I saw a beautiful blue sapphire band that was in my budget and to my wife's tastes.
I contacted jbeg and they got back to me almost immediately. I mean, within 5 minutes fast. I'm not sure if I happened to be online exactly the same time as them every time, but I sent no less than 5 emails to them throughout the process and they always got back to me that fast, every time. I was amazed.
I initially spoke with Jenny and then with Grace, both were very polite and professional. I was able to work out a deal with Grace and the process was in motion. She kept me informed of when she shipped the ring and the process went without a hitch. I am not in the US so I am always concerned sending/receiving jewellery internationally, but the process went as smooth as butter.
I am really happy with the whole experience. The ring looks beautiful and the process was flawless. I couldn't recommend Jewels by Erica Grace more.
I don't have any hand shots yet, but here is their gallery: http://jewelsbyericagrace.smugmug.c...d-and/28902148_fczDGf#!i=2455791102&k=bwSfCrR
I will say that the sapphires do look darker in the gallery than compared to real life. I'm ok with that, I thought they looked a little dark in the gallery anyway.
Overall 10/10 would buy from again

On the Show Me the Bling forum, there is a Show Me Your Tiffany thread, so do post there once you can take a picture when it comes!
