What a fabulous experience from start to finish.
A beautiful VS1 E 2.01 carat diamond in a platinum setting with an 18Ct yellow gold band.
Bud was honest, transparent, 100% trustworthy and totally professional.
We started a journey to find a diamond in a market not reputed for its integrity and having spoken to countless diamond merchants, one of whom, in London, confessed to selling £500K worthless rings to stock traders intent on the golf club and dinner table image; we knew our search was going to be anything but easy, especially as we didn't know anything.
We found Bud on the GIA website of trusted dealers.
Bud is honest, transparent, personable, professional and , putting our minds at rest revealed the entire journey from the ground to the finger, from a jewellers perspective covering all aspects of the trade and revealing websites and apps to which he had trade access. He listened to our many difficult and searching questions and answered all of them to our 100% satisfaction.
Bud helped us decide on a specification for the diamond and then selected specimens derived from his selection.
My wife is extremely happy with the end product, especially as she has waited 22 years for an engagement ring. We could not recommend Bud any more strongly.
Thank you so much Bud.
