H Stern has some beautiful pieces - nice design and workmanship. However, the coloured stones they use are not always well cut (specially the smokey quartz pieces, as well as larger tourmalines and citrines).
I should know I drool at their display often enough! I do want one of their diamond star pendants, though.
By the way, if anyone ever goes to Rio, drop by their museum (and remember to call me up beforehand - I love to drop by there!). It has some nice displays and a chance to watch the bench jewellers at work. Their salesmen are wonderful. I was there shopping for a simple ring and they insisted I try on a $200,000 necklace (rubies to die for!) even though they knew there was 0 chance that I would buy it.
