| - Now that I no longer work here, I can write a review without being obviously biased.
T.Q. is definitely the best jewelry store in Madison. And yes, I am biased because I worked there, but I'm also honest (I just wouldn't have written a review if I thought they sucked). They have an extensive selection of diamonds, engagement rings, wedding bands, and diamond and color fashion jewelry. While nothing here is cheap per se (very few items start around $150-200), everything is high quality and unique. I can't even tell you how many times people remarked "I've never seen anything like this before!"
Plus, qualifications are everything. T.Q. has two Certified Gemologist Appraisers (there are only a few hundred in the U.S., and they must re-certify every year), one Certified Gemologist, and one Graduate Gemologist on staff. They have a stellar Gold/Platinumsmith who does gorgeous, meticulous work. They have a great sales staff who have years of experience in the industry. How can you beat that?
Word to the wise: They might have special promotions (advertised via their website or direct mail if you're on the mailing list), but they never have sales. They price to sell and not mark too high just to mark down. You can rest assured that you're getting a reasonable price for the quality of the jewelry.
