What is your favorite jewelry Store?

I have looked at zales, kay, and gordons for a Ruby necklace.... But none really.. I guess POP out at me...

I cant think of any other place online to look... Any Ideas would be appreciated! (Its for my mom for mothers day)

Do you have any custom or locally owned jewelry stores? Personally I like getting pieces from them...and owning one of a kind. Plus if they don't have something that POPS out at you...you can have something made.

The Euro rate is REALLY bad right now.. so I want to try to stick to online as much as I can.. all we have here is the PX and... yeah they dont carry MUCH at all, when it comes to Ruby's

Honestly, ebay is my favorite jewelry store. You only buy from someone who has excellent feedback...and you can contact someone who has purchased from them to find out if the jewelry was what they expected. I bought a gorgeous almost 3 ct eternity band for $1,995. I ADORE it. It's breathtaking. The guy custom made it for me in my size after I contacted him. Also, I got a great deal on some diamond earrings that I was going to save up for but when I saw them...had to whip out my CC.

Do NOT buy clarity enhanced stuff, it's not worth as much in the long run. Ross-Simons had some pretty stuff. Ruby's can vary in color so it might take awhile to find what you're looking for. I haven't found very high quality jewelry at stores like Zales or Kays(all the diamonds sparkle in the store but don't once you leave!) I think there's always an exception though. Good luck, I love jewelry but don't we all

Macy's had some pretty ones:
Macy*s - Jewelry & Watches - GEMSTONES - Ruby

I don't know your price range but solomon brothers has some real pretties:
ruby necklace at Solomon Brothers Fine Jewelry

I heard the jewelry from Overstock.com: Online Shopping Bedding, Furniture, Electronics, Jewelry, Clothing & more was really nice from another YT memvber (I don't remember who, though)...

Well, Tiffany is always nice. And I'm not sure if Gayle's is a chain of some sort or not, but they've got gorgeous jewelry. My favorite jewelry store is a local one here though, called DeLuca. A year or so ago, Goldie Hawn had a ruby necklace on consignment there, I'm sure it's gone by now.

Oh, never mind...I just looked it up and it's Gail's, not Gayle's and they're just local.

Denise Roberge is amazing but she's only local too....all done in 22 K.....

I like "The Jewelry Source" but they're a local family owned business here in Washington. I tend to like the local stores better then the chain stores.
