Answer 1

I used to go into that building all the time YEARS ago when I went to Suffolk University but I can't remember all the names...that building is like what 6 or 8 floors with bigger shops and then little shop owners?!! you'd just have to go in and wing it and do comparison shopping....just tell them you are interested and want to shop around to do comparisons...that's almost the same as "haggling"....they'll want to sell and outdo each other! you're bound to get something nice!..just remember one thing I learned...if they really are proud of their quality diamonds some places will offer a little white paper.( or bring one yourself) .like a business card and you put the diamond on that to see how clear and clean it is...you'd be surprised..some look good and then you put a diamond on that and see brown!..of course that is if it is just a loose diamond..if its already set say in gold well then it will have a browner look but that's just the reflection..and look through the loop too...I'll tell ya though I went everywhere because we wanted the "best" and best price so we did look there..and i think one was like Barmakian Jewelers...nice and $$ too..they have a Barmakians in New Hamphire to. (now there is one in Natick) but I ended up almost back home....I went to a place I heard advertised in Shrewsbury right on RT9...Sachs Jewelers...two brothers..their old man was in the business too anyway when we went there and we had a poker face on because we didn't want them to know that just about the same ring (actually theirs was bigger) the same ring we saw elsewhere was $1,300 cheaper at Sachs...I get compliments all the time..becasue then I designed my own wedding band..they have this great jeweler there from Russia....and once you're a customer they never forget ya!..ok end of novel
