Good place to resize a ring?

[SaltyNuts]

I'm getting an awesome ring off the costco website. Diamond ring. But it will have to be resized (costco only has one ring size, and does not offer resizing services). Any ideas on the best place to take it? I mean, a place where they won't pry the diamonds out and replace them with lesser diamonds. I figure a national place like Zales or something as being national they have much more to lose if they play funny business. But any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks!

if its truly an awesum diamund ring, should be a serial number cut into the diamond itself.
so take it anywhere and verify the serial number, which can only be seen via a microscope.

if it doesnt have the serial number cut into the diamond, then its likely a turd diamond.

No shit? I was looking at either this one:

http://www.costco.com/Round-Brillia...atinum-Three-Stone-Ring.product.11043679.html

or this one:

http://www.costco.com/Round-Brillia...atinum-Three-Stone-Ring.product.11605122.html

They get awesome reviews. And my girl has a cousin that gets all her jewelry (including expensive diamond jewelry) and she says it has always been awesome. Should I not get it unless it has the serial number (I assume just on the center stone, not on the side stones)?

Thanks!

Costco, generally, has nicer stones for the money than you'd get at most other retailers, including Tiffany's. You can use Google yourself, but here's a typical article:

Way, Way too Much!!! That cut /Clarity/Color should be no more than $2,000.00 for smaller one and $2,400.00 for larger one--That is a Total rip-off.

Bluenile still seems like the way to go.

Any reputable local jeweler will do this and not rip you off. They have a lot more to lose than the difference between your stone and something else.
