Getting Ring Cleaned in the NYC Diamond District???

I took 5 minutes but I also got my e-ring from there and the guy took me and it was free. we tipped the guy.

Im getting my wedding bands also from him..

Just went, found my wedding band (whoo hoo) and even haggled down the price by $500 (who knows if they just inflate the price to begin with) - and got my ring cleaned.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I put my sunglasses on...the bling is blarring!

I'm going to go to a family jeweler this weekend and see what he quotes me.

do you think $1000 for a women's wedding band with diamonds on the top half (channel setting) is good? It would be white gold...and sorta look like this:

Depends on the quality, size and number.

$1000 for white gold is a lot, IMO. You should get plat for that much.

Hey, that's how I started too! I knew a lot more than I should have and that made my DH's task of ring shopping miserable... That's what happens when you dream of the 4C's and the ideal setting at age 12!

Ahhhh a gemologist...to be surrounded by nothing but gemstones all day...precious and semi...what could be better?
