My fiance and I live in the Boston area. I spent many months searching for the right diamond in my price range. After talking with a wide range of jewelers and seeing many many stones, I finally selected a diamond from Hefez & Sons (JAMY Diamonds) which is located in the Boston Jewelers Exchange building in Downtown Crossing. I made this choice because of the value and quality that they offered, and also because of the great way I was treated by this jeweler. I worked with Joe Hefez. He was patient and answered my many detailed questions. He and his staff were welcoming during my visits and fun to work with. In the end, I could not have been happier with the ring I selected or with the process overall. My good luck continued during the appraisal process with Stephen Marino of Reading, MA. Stephen was extremely flexible in terms of arranging a time to meet and he was very detailed in his appraisal process. He took the time to ensure I understood every aspect of my purchase. He, too, was very impressed with the workmanship and the value I received from Hefex.

In closing, many thanks to those amazing resources -- If anyone in Boston is seeking a great jeweler or independent appraiser, contact these guys! I''ve attempted to attach a photo of the ring....

Georgous ring!!!

My original engagement ring came from Hefez in Boston (my husband can''t remember which of the brothers he worked with), but he also had a great experience with them.

Beautiful ring. What are the specs?
 
2.13 carat I SI1 Radiant center
Platinum shared prong eternity band with 1.6 ct of round diamonds

I''d have to look up the rest. It was an amazing learning experience. I had to hunt forever for an eye-clean center stone and it took a really long time. We are still learning... just last night we went for the first time into a mall store that had halogen lighting and the ring was ALIVE! Now I know how some of those scam artist jewelers play with crazy lighting in their stores. If there is anything I can say to those who are out there working on a "ring project" like mine... take your time, work with someone you trust, and go way beyond the 4 C''s to find something that you can afford that you and your fiance will love forever.
 
your ring is lovely
 
wow I absolutely love your ring! Can we see a profile shot too??? It is fab, esp. for an I color....you should take some pics in natural light, too!
 
I''ll try to get some outdoor shots soon. I think I lucked out. As I said, I did look around and this was the whitest stone I saw in the G-I range which is where I stuck so I could get a 2 plus ct stone. The appraiser said this Radiant looked G because of the exceptionally good cut. And the SI1 inclusions are very scattered and small. So it''s eye-clean ... I''ll work on some outside pictures.
 
Wow that is a fabulous ring! I love to hear about people who have positive experiences with their local jewelers, I hope you will post some more pictures...the one you have a such a tease it is so sparkly!
