Side note
Some vendors make you believe that they actually own the stones backing up the claim with an Oscar worthy performance. Imaginary “vault managers” dish out bogus advices and fictional in-house gemologists offer nonsensical opinions through boiler-room sales types. We don’t do that. Leon Mege is a graduate gemologist with a vast experience with diamonds and colored stones.
