Introduction & question

[Stoneseller]

Hello gemstone enthusiasts.
Please don''t be misled by my handle, I don''t sell gemstones.
I own a building stone retail yard. I started cutting & polishing slabbed marble & granite in 1973, and I really am nuts about rocks.

So, on to my question.

I''m just beginning shopping for a nice emerald ring for my dear wife. She wants a traditional emerald cut, with possibly 2 emerald cut diamonds beside.

I have browsed this site a bit, and also looked at quite a few online jewelry sources. I have to admit, I''m scared to buy online for an investment over $5k.

I love to hear any refferals / suggestions of a good reliable store to visit in the Washington DC Metro area, preferably in Montgomery County, MD

I have to say one of the nicest stone I have seen online was on this site in Wink''s pictures:
