I searched around and called a lot fo places, etc, etc before buying in the end from bluenile.com. In the end, they were the only one's with the exact setting that I wanted and were comprable in price for jsut the loose center stone, too.

You can call them and ask them to pull the stone and give you and eye-clean report as well as send the sarin reports along. If you're not happy with it when it comes and you get your hands on it, you can return it without much hassle.

I ended up getting something *perfect* from them that actually exceeded my expectations and even though I had to work out details of my order over the phone, the phone rep worked with me on doign the order online and then her modifying it so that I could still get AA miles for it through their online mall. It was extra work for them, but great customer service. The miles didn't play into my decision of where to buy, but I looked at them as just a little bonus for me.

peace,
