on 9/2/2009 The place I have purchased my diamonds from for the past ten years is Diamond Scene. They are located at 9 West 47th Street, about 12 stores down from fifth avenue. My husband bought my first engagement ring from them and we have upgraded twice since, they buy back my old rings at the same price we paid for them. They also have the biggest selection of diamond jewelry and colored stones on the street. Yes you can go to Harry Winston and Tiffany, but you get the same comfort and quality at Diamond Scene for a tremendously SMALLER price! Their prices are competitive since they are located in The diamond district.

I do not know their website but their phone number is 646-366-8998

Good Luck :)
