I'm looking for suggestions on vendors/stores in the Boston Jewelry Building to look for an engagement ring.  I was going to get a loose diamond and setting, is it true that you can get a better value that way?

My mom recently upgraded her solitaire to a 3-stone at the Jeweler's Building in Boston. I went w/ her to The Diamond Barr to get it done. It's a teeny tiny little hole in the wall, and I can't remember what floor it's on. But the guy had great deals and tons of diamonds, despite the tiny space he's in. He had beautiful stuff - and the ring was made in less than a day! It was awesome. He also fixed my grandma's platinum ering for FREE. I guess they really need business! His prices were awesome - he actually offered to sell me a beautiful wedding band for $800, where it's 2x that price in B&M stores and not nearly as pretty. I would look him up and call him to see what he has - I think he's by appt. only. Best of luck!

I suggest DeScenza Jewelers as well.  They are in the Jewelers building - I think at 387 Washington.  I have not lived in Boston for years but purchased many jewelry pieces at DeScenza when I was there and they were always great and provided lots of information and had great selection.  Check out their website www.Descenza.com

Rachel,
    I just finished a purchase with Bedrosian Jewelers. They are at 333 Washington in the Jewelers building.  I went with them over Barmakian, EB Horn, and some others for a few reasons.  Their prices were very competitive to all others downtown as well as the vendors listed on this site, with no haggling necessary.  They are a family owned business that has been there for 30 years, their are two brothers running it, one a GIA diamond grad and another has some other gem training.  They came highly recommended to me from a trusted source.  Lastly they have a little lab right in the store and made my fiancé a beautiful 1-carat radiant set in platinum with princess channels on the band and pave on the front and back. She almost had a stroke when she saw it.

My fiance and I were completely unimpressed with Descenza. My ring was made by Hefez and Sons (on the 7th floor I believe). They are family owned and there have been several recommendations for them on the board already.

I second Hefez and Sons.  My fiance just proposed to me on Saturday with a ring he got there.  It is absolutely spectacular and he really liked them.  He went to a few places before Hefez and wasn't impressed with the people or their selection of diamonds.
