Given how many of us have issues finding local B&M people to set stones that we''ve bought on the internet, I thought that it would be useful to have a thread where people could recommend the local jewelers they use...
Me, I split my time b/w NYC and Boston.
In the Boston area, I''ve used TC Jewelers in Arlington based on a rec from the board and was very satisfied with their price and their work.
In NYC, I don''t have a guy, but when I''ve been setting calibrated stones I''ve gone to the diamond district, bought the settings directly from the finding booths down there, then asked around to find a stone-setter who''s willing to do the work. If its a simple calibrated stone you can find people within 10-15 min who will set the stone for $25-$35, and I''m sure you could do better than me since I''m obviously clueless and getting quoted high prices.
