100% agree. I sat down with a jeweler who went through boxes filled with packets of rubies and diamonds. I picked every part, stone and metal. People thought I was crazy to have a ruby solitaire instead of a diamond. That was 34 years ago and now I get asked all the time where I got my ring. A manufacturing jeweler was perfect. I learned a lot and I would never buy any jewel from a name brand place. Quality and value.
