Went jewelry shopping for my girl friend today and while I found a few things I liked I wanted to see what other options I could find online. Problem is the only places I really know of for online shopping are the same places I visited today in the brick and mortar form. I’m curious if any Dopers have had experience with buying jewelry online and what places you can suggest, essentially I am looking for any reputable retailers that I would not have run across as brick and mortar stores in a small city.
Anything is good, but if it helps she specifically likes Celtic designs so I am keeping my eye out for those.
And, yes I know I am quite a bit late for this whole shopping for presents things, but we’re not exchanging gifts for a couple weeks after Christmas so I have a little bit of time.
I don’t know about Celtic or vintage, but amaranth gallery (www.amaranthgallery.com I think) makes inexpensive “museum quality” (whatever that means) jewelry based on Asian designs (I got my wife a nice jade pendant with a good luck symbol on it awhle ago). Might do Celtic, too.
Black Horse Design makes Celtic jewelry. I’ve ordered several (non-Celtic) pieces from Carmon and spoken to her on the phone. I’ve liked everything I’ve ordered from her.
There’s also Celtic Jewelry. I’ve not ordered from them, but I have seen some of the jewelry that someone else ordered and it seems very nice.
My husband and I bought our wedding rings through Antique Jewelry Mall, and had a terrific experience. I should note that we bought the stone in my engagement ring separately, but the rings themselves are lovely, exactly as depicted, and the customer service was great.
