A colleague, Benji, and I headed for Anton Jewellery on Collins St. I’ve looked at a few others before this one, but at a high recommendation from a friend who recently proposed to his girlfriend of 5 years, I decided to settle for this one. We were attended to by a Frenchman, Guillaume Cohen who was exceptionally helpful (more so than the others I’ve visited) in suggesting how to wisely pick a diamond (his sales pitch was good!) When I asked for certification, he said GIA. Done deal – I like this place. I showed Guillaume the blueprints for the diamond I had in mind:
- Cut: Round Brilliant, at least Very Good grade
- Clarity: VVS2
- Colour: D
- Carat: 0.7, plus two 0.15 on each side
Unfortunately he did not have one available, however later in the day he gave me a call and said there was one similar to what I wanted in the Glen Waverley branch. I’ll check it out tomorrow…
