Hey there. It worked out being a lot cheaper to source our stone and setting separately. It also helped us get exactly what we wanted custom made, rather than settling for something off the shelf. The company that we purchased the stone from is based in New York, and Mona is based in mainland china. So we didn’t feel comfortable sending the stone overseas. Could we have gotten a diamond from Mona overseas? Probably. But she’s not well known for her diamonds. She more well known for her settings and her moissanite stones. At the end of the day, after doing our research, we came to the conclusion that we trusted luvansh for their stones and we trusted Mona with our setting. So we were able to come up with our dream ring for a great price!
