There are thousands of jewellers in Manhattan alone, go to the diamond district west 47th between 5th and 6th aves and you should find something you like. They do tend to have the absolute best quality diamonds so they can be quite pricey.

Have to back up the suggestion about going to the "Diamond District". If you can't get it here - it's not worth getting it!! It's the equivelent of Hatton Garden in London. I remember heading down there to get a ring resized while on holiday, they did it within 5 minutes!!

We just sort of stumbled across it and I couldn't believe my eyes, I first thought that it was costume jewellery because the stones were so perfect.

We passed Cartiers on 5th Avenue and my daughter noticed a ring she fancied costing $2300 !!
When I took a closer look it was $230,000!!!!!!!!!

Let's just say she didn't get it.
