[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 360325, member: 85"]I would think an individual jeweler who has been in business in the same location for a number of years, would be a good person to start with. They have more to loose in terms of reputation. Shop at least two or three, ask questions. Find someone you are comfortable with and answers your questions in a manner that teaches you. I would stay away from chain store jewelers simply because they buy in bulk, in order to stock all the stores with the same merchandise. The jewelry is all the same at each store. Their reputation is based on the chain's reputation.[/QUOTE]
