Whatever they do worked for two centuries already ! LINK
The name is resprected - good news on any estate piece. I do not know what diamond technicals they select.

Indeed they have a long and established history for quality. They were owned by Gorham at one point. In the past, they shared a very good reputation. I can not comment on their reputation today though. I''m unsure if they aren''t part of a big conclomerate or not.
That said, more than likely, you will be paying a premium to shop with them.

From what I understand, Black Starr & Frost are much like Tiffanys: you get a great product but at a very inflated price. If you want it to be simple and easy then go for it - I don''t think they will sell you junk, you will probably get something beautiful and of good quality - but you will definitely pay for it!

PS. Just for my 2 cents - unless e-ring money is couch change for you, I''d suggest using BS&F for ideas then going via a PS vendor - you''ll get an amazing stone, a beautiful setting (custom if you want), and for probably half the price! If your GF is hesitant have her surf around reading PS for a few weeks and she''ll come around!
It''s been quite a few years, but BSF had a local store here and was robbed and subsquently was closed.
Originally BSF was a fine store, but in the corporate takeover world, I believe they were bought by Kay Jewelers.
In the interim they could have been again sold to another entitiy, but thought I let you know what I knew.
May review the corporate year end reports of Kay jewelers, and if they still own it - it would probably be on their year end reports for stockholders.
