  Ms Bowman and I set up an appointment after I described the ideal ring as well as my overall budget. She offered quite a few settings and diamonds for me to compare. However, due to my research, I knew that an online competitor, Blue Nile, offered the same GIA certified diamond for about $1,000 cheaper. When I didn't buy the diamond immediately, she asked why. I told her about the huge price difference and the office setting shifted from professional to uncomfortable. She became quite abrasive with her words and expressed that I should buy from her no matter the price difference, because she "spent"time with me. (If she was only a $200-$400 cheaper, I would support a local business, but I cannot ignore a $1,000 difference) Then she demanded that I buy from her in two days or she'll return the diamond, she only extended the offer by 5 days when I told her no. I work in sales, but I would never push a client to make a decision. Bottom line: There are plenty of independent jewelers in St Louis, please do not support Ms. Bowman. She doesn't deserve the business and she'll become unprofessional and rude, if you consider her competitors.
