 		I'm getting ready to begin seriously shopping for THE ring pretty soon.  I have heard plenty of arguements over "brick and mortar" jewelers versus online shopping, and would like to explore both myself. 

Can anyone recommend a jeweler in the Tampa Bay area? 

Thanks,
The poor one.

 		Go to Mavilo's.  They are on Armenia in an office building behind Colonial Bank.  Mavilo's is a wholesaler...not a retailer (which appears to only be a nuance difference) since you'll think you are in a retail store.  Ask for Lindsey.  Tell her Chris sent you.  I'm using them and a web vendor to help find my $50k asscher cut diamond.    Mention PriceScope too so that they know you are discerning.  I've researched this stone with pain-staking detail and there is a reason that I'm now only dealing with two vendors.  You won't find a better price from a B&M in Tampa.  Their prices on diamonds are the same as the online vendors or I would not be using them.  Hope this helps.

PS - If you have a legitimate way to have your purchase shipped out of state, you could avoid the state sales tax.
