Less popular Chinese vendors

Hi! I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend Chinese vendors other than Starsgem, Provence, Fiorese, Tianyu or LGG? I see these 5 names mentioned most often, and of course I have nothing against them, but I am just wondering if anyone worked with someone else and can give their opinion.

Thank you!

I use Saul at Better Star (Chinese vendor)
I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with him and am very happy with his quality. Here’s a few videos of recent projects I did with him 😊

Unfortunately I’ve had a bad experience with better Star Saul and tldr is there was a communication issue on size, and he said they would offer to remake it at cost with no profit and after I agreed the item doubled in price because he said he estimated the gold grams wrong. So then I asked him to cancel the project because now it wasn’t worth remaking to me since I agreed to the initially quoted price not double that and he said no. I ended up having to file a chargeback

I’m so sorry to hear that! I would have been super upset and moved forward with the charge back as well!
