Thumbs up Any Friends working for "cheap" jewelry stores?



My friend and i were at the mall looking at jewelry and came across the new "simmons jewelry" lineup. well he was very impressed and i wanted to get him a couple pieces. normally when i buy jewelry im used to getting a discount but the people at this store werent hearing any of it. was wondering if anyone on the site had a friend or aquaintance who maybe worked at one of the below stores and would be willing to discount on the following pieces


Simmons Jewelry Company

LA series

Ring: DRG1104DIA

Bracelet: DBG1015STWB

have credit card on hand, and would need to be shipped to Orlando Florida.

heres the below dealers that carry "Simmons Jewelry"

ive dealt with some watch stores in LA, mostly off west pico. but the stores above clearly dont sell breitling and Audemars so ive never dealt with them before.

worst case their was a cute girl that was working at the one Bond's jewelers store.. i was thinking worst case ask her out, get some... and then get a discount on the jewelry too..

My dad owned a jewelry store for a while. Typical markup is 400% so they have LOTS of room to negotiate.

I've negotiated on my watch, engagement/wedding ring for my wife, wedding ring for myself (we got it for less than half price), and a necklace for my wife. Each time, they were more than willing to give me a "personal" discount.

Perhaps you need to talk to the manager?
