Hi All!
After tons of research and working with multiple jewelers (online and in person) I finally found Yekutiel through this forum. Yekutiel is amazing to work with and I'm so happy to have met him. I told him upfront that I was looking for a pricescope quality mined diamond and he knew exactly what I meant. I did have tight specs and was initially adamant of a Vs2 or better. He acknowledged that finding a super ideal with my specs (and budget) would take some time, but asked if I would be okay with an eye-clean Si1. This is where Yekutiel shines and in my opinion is what makes him a great jeweler and person to do business with. He informed me that a clean Si1 would visually look the same as a Vs2 and at my budget would be able to hit a G color at the higher-end of the carat weight. I was on board and he hopped on his computer and after a few minutes he said, "My friend, I found the diamond that you're going to propose with". He had located a super-ideal (GIA Triple-Ex, AGS000, Hearts & Arrows, with a Sarin Report) with one of his suppliers overseas and had the diamond shipped overnight.
The diamond he sourced is bright white, sparkles like no other and looks bigger for it's carat weight due to the edge to edge brightness. He pulled out the ideal scope and I was able to confirm the tightly cut patterns of the hearts and arrows. In my opinion, one of the best parts about working with ID Jewelry is that they turn off the jewelry store lights so you can see how the diamond looks/performs in normal office lighting.
ID Jewelry exceeded my expectations in every way. I came in under budget and more importantly my fiance loves the ring!!
