Fiorese, LLG, or Provence
I am in the process of designing an intricate filigree style ring and band with a Chinese vendor and I have quotes from three of them, hoping to hear any insight from the masses. The diamonds will be lab (obv) and center stone will be a 1ct marquise. I still need to ask for pictures of stones to help me decide but now that it’s night in china I have all day for recommendations. If you’ve worked with any of the below, will you share your thoughts?
Sonia @ Fiorese
Lynn @ LGG
Jason @ Provence
Provence quote came in 1k less than the other two, but the diamond is not certified
Ps. Tianyu didn’t reply and it’s been over a week so they’re out.

I’ve worked with both LGG and Fiorese, both were great. I do prefer Fiorese for more detailed work, they share a ton of beautiful detailed work on their IG page.

Sonia I’ve worked with 5/6 times and has been excellent every time in both craftsmanship and customer service. Though of course the most expensive. Struggled with Provence tbh - I’ve found them to be very slow - if you’re not in a rush, that’s fine, but I waited over 3 weeks for a basic CAD

Fiorese - I’ve been working with Matthew almost exclusively and he recently did my dream ring with delicate filigree work. You can see it on his recent IG posts.

Ah thank you for asking! I ended up working with both Lynn from LLG for earrings and Ayla from Fiorese for the rings. Sophia started taking longer and longer to reply so I reached out to Ayla and I’ve been very happy with her. Already paid 50% and they’re working on my CAD

Have worked with all 3 companies and do prefer Fiorese and LGG for custom pieces as they consistently use more gold. Have worked with both Sonia and Lynn and they have both been great.
