100% hands down. Go to Barmakian Jewelers at the Nashua location (and not just for “tax” reasons). The rings are on the second floor. If you go on a Saturday go right at open but the MOST IMPORTANT THING, ask for Sasha. He’s amazing, 30 years in the business and the floor manager (he’s there most days)

Also get lab diamonds, real ones support the awful cartel called De Beers and subjugate whole cultures. They look as good if not better and are a FRACTION of the cost.

I think a comparable lab vs natural was 3.5k vs 24k for the stone alone… (it was .75 carat)

You also get 10% off bands there too. Delivery time can vary, but budget 6-10 weeks. They custom order for best fit instead of “sizing” a display ring which weakens it
