I was growing really frustrated with the whole engagement ring shopping process. drive from store to store, shop after shop... even these so called wholesalers... just lame! i new in the bigger stores that i was gonna get hosed with price, and when i braved going to the smaller shops and Washington street places i just didn't feel comfortable. half these the guys don't speak clearly and they just don't have good communication skills. they didn't explain value to me clearly.... at least i didn't feel like they had. Heard a commercial for this new england jewelry exchange and went to nejex. it's a relatively simple looking site, but it sure as heck beats store shopping. i spent maybe a half hour on the site, made my "inquiries" on the diamonds and settings i liked and in 24 hours had been called by the dealers and shops that owned the items. Got my surface questions answered and then went to two of the 5 places that called me back. To be honest i probably didn't need to go the places to see the diamond and setting b/c the setting image was on the nejex site and the stone was a GIA certified stone. But to have the option to see these items which i already knew quite a bit about even before going into the store was so hugely convenient i can't even tell you. Anyway, two thumbs up for the nejex people. new site.... i think it could use a few tweaks, but the concept and end result is just what this industry needs.
Pros: All the jewelry in boston (and i think it's all of new england) online in a simple searchable fashion.... major time saver. you WILL find what you want here
Cons: i didn't have to waste gas driving from store to store... oh wait, that's a pro.
