If you want, our neighbor is a jewler, She designed and made my Ering, and she did it for under 1/2 of what they wanted in the store. She gets Diamonds directly and they are cheap and GORGEOUS! She is in FL but Im sure she could send u pictures nad stuff of them if your interested....just for referance....my stone loose in a retail store, sells for around 5K....she sold it to us for 2300.....

my uncle works in the diamond district and he made my ring
i dont buy jewelry anywhere else so it is hard to help with retail questions; but if you can avoid buying jewelry retail than do it at all costs

you would not believe the markup on jewelry - up to 300%!!!!

agreed, my diamond came from the district, it's a flawless diamond that would've cost more than triple at a regular diamond retailer

We went to wedding ring originals in the city on Lexington and 56th Street (I think that is the street, could be 54th). We worked with Allan and he was great. I will go back there for my wedding ring.

It was great, I think we got a good deal (considering we didn't know him or anything). And he let us 'ship' an empty box to my friend in jersey so that he could say it was bought from out of state and we didn't have to pay sales tax.

They made the ring custom for me and it is even better than the printouts that I had left around for FH to find...hahahaha

OMG FH GOT MY RING FROM ALLAN!!!!
He is wonderful! I go to him all the time to clean my ring!

Try Good Old Gold in Massapequa Park. They have their inventory on line so you can see the prices and the certs of the diamonds you're interested in. We spent over 2 hours there learning and looking at diamonds. The diamond we ended up getting we had picked online first to see that night. Jonathan went over the 4C's very thoroughly, then showed us all three diamonds we were interested in through a microscope at 65x magnification on a 42in plasma screen. We had a lot of fun, and got a great price on the ring. We will be going back there for our wedding bands. I believe they may also be a vendor on here. I found out about them from doing a diamond search on pricescope.com.

ditto, ditto, ditto - that's where we got mine!
