You were asking Michelle, but I can say unequivocably that there is no way I would buy jewelry online. Let's take a wedding ring: At local jewelry stores, if you buy it from them, they offer: 1) Free lifetime cleaning. This means that a woman can drop her ring off, do some shopping, go back and pick up her ring. Same for a man's gold wedding band. 2) Free lifetime mounting/setting check. I think this is done at cleaning too. But if at anytime you think the diamond is getting loose in the setting, you can take it to the jeweler you bought it from, and they will check it out and reset it. 3) Free replacement of the diamond if it comes loose from the setting completely and gets lost (if you've taken it to them to get the setting checked at recommended periodic intervals). Buy a diamond ring on the internet, and you're not going to get any of these benefits, unless you're comfortable packing up your diamond ring and shipping it off in the USPS/UPS/FEDX truck. No way, Jose. None of the married women closely related to me (sisters, sister-in-laws) would do that. If their husbands had ordered their ring off the internet, they probably would have called off the wedding. :-)
