Wow- Am I glad I extended my search with google! Otherwise, I might not have found this great wealth of information!
So here goes:
She's the one, no doubt about it-Which brings me to this site. I know that I'd like to buy before Christmas, and have a price range...but thats about it. So on to my search-I am looking at either a B&M or an internet loose stone with a local jeweler for the setting. But, Currently I am residing in Dublin for another 4 weeks, but will be travelling home to RI next week and would like to begin my search. It seems that the place to buy is the states, which admittedly is quite surprising( would have guessed Antwerp), so I was wondering if anyone might have a good place to start. Somewhere I can speak with the jeweler, become educated, informed.I might or might not buy from said jeweler on THIS purchase, but would certainly consider for other purchases if he/she is knowledgable,helpful and not too pushy.So- any suggestions for the RI area?
Many thanks,
dean
