Hi all,
i've been researching diamonds, specifically ovals in 3 stone settings for the last several months. I've been referred to a local jeweler, combed bluenile/james allen and have looked at Ring Concierge and Lauren b (my girlfriend absolutely loves RC styles)
Given the bowtie effect and the nature of ovals I'm hesitant to purchase the center stone on BN or JA. While I'm sure the value can be there, I just don't want to risk anything and be in a position where I'm at UPS the next day sending it back.

this is the ring I am hoping for, does it make sense to try and replicate that elsewhere? I feel like I'm probably paying a markup doing it with them due to the instagram hype and the fact that they are a riskless broker in the transaction but my main concern is the finished product being exactly what my gf wants. My thinking at this point is if I dont go the wholesale route/anyone I use will be charging a markup so its all about the quality of the work, selection process of the stone and overall finished product.
One positive is I've been able to narrow down my criteria which atleast puts me on the right track, but committing to a route from here has been difficult.
for context: 2ct /G/Si1 and better/1.35 l/w ratio etc.
Any helpful thoughts or ideas would be so greatly appreciated, thank you all!
