Looking for jeweler in Portland, OR

[ksomerville]

My boyfriend finally proposed!! The diamond he ordered from Whiteflash is beautiful and I''ll post pictures soon. My only problem is that I had my finger sized before he ordered the ring and I was told 6.5...either the sizing was incorrect or the ring isn''t the right size (too big). Regardless, now I need to have the ring resized by a local jeweler and I need help locating a reputable one in the Portland area. It makes me really nervous because back when I was looking at diamonds at Costco they warned us to be careful about taking the diamond to a jeweler to be appraised because he''d heard lot''s of stories about the diamonds being switched at jewelers in the Beaverton, OR area (that''s the suburbs of Portland where we live). Whether or not it''s true, I want to be selective about who works on my ring.

Can anyone recommend a reputable jeweler they''ve dealt with in the Portland area? Thank you!!!

NiceIce is in Roseburg,OR. I don''t now how far that would be for you but they have an excellent reputation here on PS.

Roseburg is about 3 hours from Portland but I have heard good things about Nice Ice. I was hoping someone had dealt with a jeweler that was a little closer to Portland though.

ahh. you could always send it back to WF and have them size it..

I know I could and at least I trust them, but the mail system makes me nervous too. I think I''d rather drive 3 hours.

is the ring insured? you shouldn''t have a problem, but i am assuming that the diamond is inscribed..... if so, look at it under a microscope before you leave it and then again before you take it out of the store.

It''s not insured yet. We are getting the insurance lined up before I take it in and the diamond is inscribed. He''s with American Family Insurance and I''m with State Farm. Anybody have reviews on their policies? Can you get a cash out policy through them?

I would try Carl Greve in downtown Portland. My husband and I got our wedding rings there and they were great! Good luck!
