I recently was in my local jeweler's store this past weekend and noticed he had some "designer pieces" such as Tiffany's, Cartier, etc in addition to his normal diamonds. When I discussed prices with him I was shocked to hear how low he was asking in comparison to department stores such as Neimans and Saks. Has anyone else had this experience as well? I am not a huge jewelry buyer but do shop in department stores for other things such as bags and shoes. What is everyone's opinion on where to buy jewelry from?
