hinkdog Rough Rock Total Posts: 1 Last Post: 7/21/2005 Member Since: 7/21/2005	I'm looking around for a diamond, but i'm really confused by all of the information out there regarding "where" to buy. I've been to all of the mall type stores but am very unimpressed with quality and price. i also thought i'd check out mervis although i've heard mixed things about them as well. i recently discovered a couple of places that piqued my interest: IGS in Vienna and Robbin's in Delaware. Any thoughts on these two places? As with everyone else, I just want the best quality for the best price, and my biggest fear is getting ripped off. Any thoughts/ideas on these places or suggestions for any others? thanks!

I went to Robbins in DE and was not impressed, but that's just me. ____________________________ Piece of cake and a candle. ng gift

I thought the staff was very knowledgeable and they have equipment for you to look at loose diamonds at higher magnification. If you are in the market for an H&A round, though, this would not be the place to go. They told us that they were no longer acquiring diamonds said to have true hearts and arrows pattern. If you have the time to check out several places, then I would recommend stopping there. I thought it was an excellent place for new buyers to comfortably ask lots of questions and see lots of diamonds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~* "It's all buena"

Their stone selection is somewhat limited. I would recommend purchasing your stone online and having them make a setting. if you do a search on quest jewelers or quest manufacting a bunch of threads will pop up. you can see pics of my ring here ----------------------------- A deal is only a deal if you are getting exactly what you want.

Regular Guy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,315 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2004	I don't know that I'd recommend them or not, but Charleston Alexander is referred to here at times, they have a stock you can review on-line, and I understand they also have apparatus (both sarin & Ogi) for measuring their GIA certed Stock, so they provide a promising option. Also, they seem to be expanding, adding a store soon in the area, and having added ours on Sunday.
