I mostly lurk on this board and drool over everone''s fabulous jewels. I have found it helpful to read posts about both B&M stores and online jewelers. My new husband and I have consistently had great luck with a Minneapolis B&M vendor and Pricescope contributor: Brian Knox of Knox Diamonds. About a year ago my fiance purchased my H&A, 1.51, J, SI-1 solitaire from Brian. For our recent wedding, we also purchased a .75, 7-stone, bar-set band for me and a white gold band for him. I know, I know! I don''t have pictures becaue I have been having no luck installing our digital camera software on our new computer....but perhaps Brian still has pics of the rings???? Anyway, it''s nice to have a trusted local jeweler who knows your name and is a great resource! Thanks Brian!
