He said that he replaced a diamond in the ring also because he "didn't like one of the stones". He did not call to get authorization, because "he was too busy". He said he would keep the ring if we did not pay the additional fees. The added stone is sits crooked, it is not centered in the original ring, the gold used to solder the new girdle into the ring bleeds between the original diamonds and the underside of the girdle has not been cleaned up.

We have been very pleased with the entire process and highly recommend The Sapphire Gallery.

So, know nothing about the process, cost ,etc. Get a call that they are done heat treating. so was asked do we want to facet them. I told them I would like to see a picture of them first. We live several states away. They sent via e-mail pictures of the heat treated stones. Nothing to compare weight size or possible value. Had to ask about final color. It was like they forgot they were in business and wanted to skip all the inportant information one need to make a decision. then I called several times, couldn't get call back, left a message, nothing. Finally after several days I called again and talked to the person who originally helped us. I then instructed her to please mail our sapphires to our home. Red flags had gone up big time. They charged me $15 to ship 14 little stones back. Hope I get them. I will never deal with these people again, period.

I can't say enough good things about our experience working with Dillon at "Big Sky Brilliance" …read more We're so grateful we found such an amazing jeweler. My husband asked me well over a year ago to start thinking about a diamond ring upgrade for our 30th wedding anniversary . He had been saving for years to buy me an upgraded larger diamond ring. After many months /weeks of researching diamonds online and searching for what I might like I just about gave up - it was too overwhelming. One Monday evening I came across Dillon's Website for 'Big Sky Brilliance' on Instagram. After looking through all his custom designed pieces he had on his sight I decided to message him. I filled him in on what I wanted and how lost I felt of where to begin . Dillon made arrangements to call me again that next week and took over an hour to go over my questions and preferences and educated me on so many important things with choosing a natural diamond . I KNEW almost immediately we would work with him for this special ring . After another helpful phone conversation or so Dillon ordered multiple incredible natural diamonds for us to choose from . We made the trip to Helena and chose "my diamond ". it was so, so special and meaningful . Over the next weeks he emailed renderings for the ring and diamond setting. He also made and mailed a composite / template of the ring design itself that I could try on and better visualize . It was so helpful to have that . We made one small alteration to the design and off it went to casting . When we recently picked up the finished product, my custom designed ring ,we were blown away!! The ring exceeded our expectations and was so perfectly elegant and stunning ! I do so highly recommend Big Sky Brilliance.

When in Rome, you do as the Romans. Apparently this part of Montana is knowing for mining gems, so…read morewe pulled up our sleeves and jumped in hoping to find something for the work we were about to put in. We started off at the store in town and spoke with Amanda who was friendly, informative and helped us decide on should we pan at the store or drive out to the mine. She told us it was next to the last day at the mine and that the drive out there would be nice, so we decided to make the small trek. Now, she did warn us that there would be no internet and porta potties but the experience would be worth it; she was right. We arrived at the location and I will say I expected a mine, however this was more of a campsite or like a home base where you would come to after digging in the mine. When you arrive you go to the porch and buy tickets for pre shoveled buckets. Make sure you ask them about any specials they are having as it may be something you might be interested in. The young guy who took my money didn't give me much direction however once you get your ticket, you head back down to the area the buckets are and choose your bucket. If it's your first time there, they will assist you with getting set up and show you how to pan for sapphires as well as what to look for. They have areas of different heights as well as tables where you can stand or sit as well as covered areas (makes locating the sapphires a little harder). We had Alex show us the ins and outs as well assist us with making sure we were doing this correctly. Many of times he had to tell us as well as show us how to improve our technique. Alex made the experience a great one as he was patient as well funny as numerous items I thought were something weren't but he encouraged me to keep looking. We ended up with a few small sapphires but nothing big enough to allow us to retire and travel on. We did however have a great time and for $40 it was a great experience. I would recommend you wearing something you don't mind getting dirty as you are splashing in muddy water and digging around dirty stones so you may find yourself getting a little dirty but they do have a wash bin to rinse off once you are done. Bring water or you can buy water but remember to stay hydrated.
