The disadvantage of working with someone like that is that you will not get as much selection and as good of a price as if you work with a jeweler that has them in stock.
Some jewelers, besides having the emeralds in stock also have beautiful settings with diamonds (or without) ready to set your Emerald in the center. It’s convenient, less expensive, and you get to see how the ring will look. You don’t need to imagine it when you come in you can see it with your own eyes! Many times you envision something and something different comes out. By going to a jeweler that has the settings also in stock it’s really the best option. Definitely, if you want to do some changes here and there will be easy to accommodate.
