Jonathan at GOG is fully an "internet" vendor, and a jewelery store. He and a few others represented on this board are specifically set up to do what you''ve suggested.

I know, I just hate paying sales tax. On diamonds, this adds up to quite a chunk of change.Date: 10/3/2008 5:00:11 PM

At least you could visit WF... I am in NC, no where near any of the favorite online stores...
he went thru EVERYTHING!!! Besides the knowledge that he shared w/us I really like how he showed us not only why techincally once stone has a better cut over another but how its better optically and in real world conditions not just using a Brillianscope. WE really like how he all about what YOU want. when he asked for waht type we were lookin for, those are the types he showed us. he would either bring a grade higher or lower jsut to see if we can "see" the differences. But he was never pushy or acted like a "salesman". we were ther for alsmot 2 straight hours. and when we told him we needed to take a break for lunch cuz we were famished ( and our heads were about to explode) he even treated us to lunch at this great Pizzerria right next door!!! talk about Customer realations!!!! After a quick (and ver filling) lunch we went back where he finsihed up and introduced us to Stephanie to help us out with Settings. Overall we were there for about 4.5 hrs!!! I must say I"m really glad i went b/c every other jewelry store i''d been to (kay''s, Helzberg, Zales, The Diamond Exhange and a few mom and pop stores) all the salespeople kept on doin was pushin me to "leave a deposit" GOG was the exceptina dn glad that there are still stores out there that are willing to take the time to genuinely help the constomer not only on a purchase but to actaully edcuate especailyl in a field where the majority of buyers goin in not knowin much. 
I know of several that have, including GOG, WhiteFlash, myself, Pealrmans, and I am sure I am forgetting several others, like NiceIce.com. I have never heard of a single bad experience had by any of the visiters either. I know we all love to have visitors and to actually meet the people we have been corresponding with. Call or email Jonathon before you go to make sure he can set a time to be able to meet personally with you.
