    I have bought diamonds from many places.  My favorite source tho is
    STULLER SETTINGS!  I have repeated found that when they say their
    diamond is a VS in grade it is definately at least a VS in grade and
    frequently more like a VVS.  At other sources that is not always the
    case.  Case in point - I have a ring sitting on my workbench.  I
    ordered it as finished goods, colored stones with small VS diamonds
    to help fill out the show case since I can not do 100% of
    everything. The diamonds are SI2 at best, and one has a huge cavity
    on the table. Nor were they willing to take it back. That was the
    last time I ordered from that company!  I know many people will toss
    at me that the diamonds are more expensive at Stuller's.  But their
    quality stands up order after order.
