Did you buy your e-ring online or in a B&M

Just curious, I feel like most PSers get stuff online but I am interested to see a poll of this information.

I voted online, because I bought the stone online, but ended up going to a local B&M for the custom setting.

Well I will post about it since what happened to me does not fit an option. We purchased my ring in 1998 and lost it during a home remodel and I went looking at our local B&M but felt I could save some money elsewhere and I remembered a friend who bought their ering from the internet. I am sooooo happy finding Pricescope which lead to my new ring (which looks almost exactly like my original ring). I would not hesitate to buy something from our online vendors.

Well, I got my upgrade 8 years ago, before PS. Lately, I have been buying stones online, but still getting them set locally at a B&M. We have lots of fine talent in my area.

Online because the prices here in OZ are seriously astronomical for tight cut stones compared to the states and very much harder to find.

I didn''t vote, because I bought my diamond online and my setting from a B&M. So, 50/50.

Option 4: Originally bought e-ring at a B&M, lost it, then bought replacement on the internet.

Just for you Skippy

All of my diamond purchases have been online. I made one purchase for my original setting at a B&M and ultimately I regretted it because the workmanship was poor and the ring smooshed like a pancake. Luckily the insurance company paid for a replacement (that I purchased online). All of my online purchases through JA, WF, BN have gone extremely well. The quality, price and service are much better than I''ve experienced at local B&M''s. I have found B&M''s that I like and would buy from, but usually their prices are much higher than online.

Ooo, my vote brought the first two to be even!

I voted B&M, but all my research were done online.
