Hi guys,
Just wanted to bump this thread with a question.
I'm planning on popping the question in the next few weeks.
I've been dropped hints by my better half that she wants a Tacori designed ring. Now from what I know, Tacori just comes with the setting only.
My options of getting it are either:
Rodan
Harlings
Order online from the Tacori U.S Site.
(Any other local retail store that sells Tacori that I may have missed?)
I haven't narrowed down the particular style yet so I'm not sure if one of the above retailers will be cheaper than the rest or if they should technically be the same/similar price since it would be the same SKU item.
I also plan on getting the diamond seperate (most likely through Blue Nile or James Allen)
My question is:
1) Has anybody dealt with Rodan or Harlings for purchasing settings/rings?
2) If I get the ring from either, do you suggest I go to them respectively to get the diamond placed into the setting as well? I've heard anecdotal evidence that their craftsmanship is not the best.
3)If not or if I order the setting direct from Tacori, should I be going to an independent jeweller that specializes in working with rings? Any recommendations?
4) Anybody know the average turn around time? Risks involved?
5) What is the average charge to place a diamond together with a setting?
I had initially wanted to get a setting/diamond combo for BN/JA but none of the styles seem to be similar to Tacori.
Any other tips/advice/guidance would be appreciated
