Diamonds at James Allen includes high quality certified loose diamonds and diamond jewelry using many sizes and shapes of diamonds. http://www.JamesAllen.com Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:54:08 EST Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:54:08 EST Nick and Sarah had been on the road for months, traveling the country on their dream trip. They relaxed for a while in Vermont while they made their plans for the remainder of their little excursion. Then they flew into Atlanta to pick up the Jeep, which they had left safely tucked away until they returned from the north. Sarah ran up to it and threw herself onto the hood. “I missed you, baby,” she whispered and put her ear to the warm metal as if it would whisper back. Nick smiled as he opened the back and piled their bags in. “You ready?” He asked her as they climbed in. Petting the dashboard lovingly, she sighed. “Charleston, South Carolina. Engagement rings, right?” “Yup,” he said as he navigated his way to the 20. He knew that Sarah was travel-weary, to say the least, and was glad to take her to Charleston. She had spent a lot of vacations there when her Grandparents owned a house on nearby Sullivan’s Island, and had already told him that she planned to fall asleep on the beach for two or three days straight after they arrived. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Charleston-SC-Proposal-Oak-Engagement-Rings-February-28-2010.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Charleston-SC-Proposal-Oak-Engagement-Rings-February-28-2010.html Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:54:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/sullivans-charleston-sc-engagement-rings.jpg As Nick steered the Land Rover northwest, toward maple syrup and engagement rings in Burlington, Vermont, Sarah unfolded and examined a map.They were stopping at the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury before they went into Burlington. Sarah was careful to wear comfortable clothes, as she intended to fully enjoy the “Flavoroom” Nick had high hopes of submitting enough votes to resurrect Peanut Butter & Jelly ice cream, which had been his favorite during its brief time. “Look, Nicky,” Sarah shouted, “Cows!” They saw a pasture with cows wandering around, as cows do, meandering and chewing their cud. As they drove into the grounds, they were both open-mouthed. They were actual cows from which Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was made. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Burlington-Vermont-Engagement-Rings-September-09-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Burlington-Vermont-Engagement-Rings-September-09-09.html Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:40:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/crow-books-burlington-engagement-rings.jpg After a relaxing time up north, Nick and Sarah climbed into Sarah’s mom’s Land Rover, which would take them down the East Coast. They would next be looking at engagement rings in Boston, Mass. They would also find time to see a Red Sox game while they were there, because Fenway Park was an experience not to be missed. “You know who’s from Boston?” Sarah asked. “Yes,” Nick said. “I do. Aerosmith.” “Yes, and Benjamin Franklin,” Sarah went on. “Also Leonard Nimoy.” http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Boston-Mass-Fenway-Diamond-Engagement-July-27-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Boston-Mass-Fenway-Diamond-Engagement-July-27-2009.html Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:41:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/boston-mass-subway-engagement-ring.jpg The drive to the airport was only a few hours, and Nick and Sarah, having shipped a whole bunch of their accumulated treasures back home, were looking forward to spending a long weekend attending a wedding, seeing friends, and looking at engagement rings in Portland, Maine. They were both a little road-weary and happy for the break. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Portland-Maine-Lobster-Engagement-Rings-07-12-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Portland-Maine-Lobster-Engagement-Rings-07-12-09.html Sun, 12 Jul 2009 01:09:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/portland-maine-diamond-engagement-rings.jpg Nick nodded and listened to see what soundtrack she was selecting for this leg of the trip. He was expecting something sticky and heavy, like the Dr. John and Professor Longhair that they had been listening to for the last week, where each note sounded upbeat yet damp somehow. Instead, he was hearing the beginning of “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”. “Jimmy Buffett?” Nick asked. “He’s so…beachy.” “He’s from Mississippi,” Sarah said. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Jackson-Mississippi-Engagement-Rings-06-09-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Jackson-Mississippi-Engagement-Rings-06-09-09.html Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:32:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/mississippi-jackson-braves-diamond.jpg Nick and Sarah headed east to Louisiana. They had been there before, for Mardi Gras, but never to look around and really see the city—especially how antique engagement rings in New Orleans were different. They had to be. “It will be nice,” Sarah said, “to see New Orleans without all the Mardi Gras mess going on.” “Agreed,” Nick told her. “But it WAS fun.” “Yeah,” Sarah laughed, “after we looked at the pictures to see what happened.” Nick looked thoughtful. “I’d still give a nickel to know,” he said, “how and when I got into that cow costume.” http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/New-Orleans-Louisiana-Antique-Ring-05-26-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/New-Orleans-Louisiana-Antique-Ring-05-26-09.html Tue, 26 May 2009 03:02:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/lafittes-blacksmith-new-orleans.jpg After a semi-embarrassing trip to Hippie Hollow, Nick and Sarah hopped in the Jeep and headed southeast to find THE Houston, Texas perfect engagement ring. Sarah leaned her head back against the headrest and looked at Nick. “If everything truly IS bigger in Texas, do you think that will mean the diamonds are bigger?” She asked. Nick smiled. “Do you really believe everything is bigger in Texas?” “I read it on a t-shirt somewhere,” Sarah explained. Taking Nick’s hand off of the gear-shift, she kissed it and told him, “I don’t believe EVERYTHING is.” http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Houston-Texas-Diamonds-Baseball-05-14-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Houston-Texas-Diamonds-Baseball-05-14-09.html Thu, 14 May 2009 02:57:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/absinthe-lounge-houston.jpg The ride to Austin was not long, only about an hour and a half, so Sarah had to fit her annoying games into a short time. “Babe,” She said to Nick, “You know what awesome movies were partially filmed in Austin?” Nick sighed and leaned back against the headrest. “What if Austin, Texas has engagement rings unlike any other in the world?” Nick asked. “Will you then be sorry you made me play this game?” Sarah smiled. “Probably not. ‘Dazed and Confused’ was filmed here.” Nick laughed. “Well, awright,” he quoted his favorite character from the movie, played by Matthew McConaughey before anyone knew who he was. “He has a house here, babe,” Nick told her. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Austin-Texas-Diamonds-Music-Dancing-05-05-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Austin-Texas-Diamonds-Music-Dancing-05-05-09.html Tue, 05 May 2009 10:57:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/hyde-park-arm-austin-texas.jpg “What is this about?” Nick asked as they hit hour nine of the 8 ½-hour trip. “It’s south and a little east, and it’s a big city,” Sarah explained. “How hard can it be?” Looking at his watch, he said, “For you, no engagement ring in San Antonio, Texas.” http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/san-antonio-texas-engagement-rings-04-19-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/san-antonio-texas-engagement-rings-04-19-09.html Sun, 19 Apr 2009 07:35:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/geeks-who-drink-san-antonio.jpg They talked about how each city had its own flavor of jewelry, so engagement rings in Amarillo, Texas ought to taste like riding bulls and doing the two-step. They both had a very clear picture of what Amarillo, the “Yellow Rose of Texas”, would be like, but knew that they would likely be surprised in some way, as they always seemed to be by each new city. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Amarillo-Texas-Diamond-Engagement-04-07-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Amarillo-Texas-Diamond-Engagement-04-07-09.html Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:43:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/dynamite-museum-amarillo-texas.jpg “Did you know that Colorado has diamond mines?” Sarah asked Nick as they made their back east toward Durango. “I did know that,” Nick told her, “I think you read it to me when we were on our way to see Karen.” “Do you think Durango, Colorado engagement rings are all somehow really earthy and natural looking?” Sarah asked. “I’m guessing they have as many ways to set a stone as anywhere else,” Nick responded. “Durango, Colorado,” Sarah said. “Durango. Dur-an-go.” She leaned over towards Nick. “It’s sounds cool, Durango. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Durango-Colorado-Engagement-Rings-03-31-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Durango-Colorado-Engagement-Rings-03-31-09.html Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:37:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/durango-silverton-narrow-railroad.JPG After a necessary tune-up for the Jeep and mailing a box full of stuff home, Nick and Sarah set off for Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah. Nick figured that, since Mormons are way into marriage, and celebrities are way into marrying a lot of times, Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah must be Engagement Ring Central. They both liked the idea that they were looking for diamonds in a place where there were diamond-ranked ski trails. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Salt-Lake-Park-City-Utah-Engagements-03-24-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Salt-Lake-Park-City-Utah-Engagements-03-24-09.html Tue, 24 Mar 2009 06:51:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/salt-lake-temple-diamond.jpg Nick and Sarah were heading east again, this time to go on a bike trek and to see Boise, Idaho engagement rings. They were once again looking to find something that had a distinctly local flavor, an engagement ring that you couldn’t get just anywhere. The more they knew about what people wanted around the country, the better. They had already seen so much of the country that they had never imagined they would see, and knew that few people had the opportunities they had. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/boise-idaho-engagement-rings-03-19-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/boise-idaho-engagement-rings-03-19-09.html Thu, 19 Mar 2009 10:12:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/boise-green-belt-idaho.JPG Nick and Sarah left Vancouver a little sore, but committed to training more. They knew that engagement rings in Spokane, Washington were likely to contain some local Spokane flavor. The Pacific Northwest was like another world. It was an outdoorsy world where there were beautiful parks and funky tourist attractions and one thing that Sarah was particularly intrigued by. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/spokane-washington-engagement-diamonds-mar-15-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/spokane-washington-engagement-diamonds-mar-15-09.html Sun, 15 Mar 2009 10:23:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/oneofakind-museum-spokane-washington.jpg Although Sarah never got to see Tom Robbins by the side of the road in La Conner, she and Nick were looking forward to exploring Vancouver, another “green city”, and seeing what kind of diamond engagement rings Vancouver, British Columbia might have. Neither of them had ever been to Vancouver, but they had both heard that it was a very eco-friendly city and they had a mountain they were looking forward to climbing. They were both happy to be competing in the Grouse Grind Mountain Run, an insane running hike up rough terrain. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/vancouver-bc-engagement-rings-Mar-08-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/vancouver-bc-engagement-rings-Mar-08-09.html Sun, 08 Mar 2009 07:47:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/grouse-grind-vancouver-bc.jpg Again heading north, Nick and Sarah were going to see what funky engagement rings Seattle, Washington had to offer. The city itself was so cool, they figured the jewelry would be as well. They arrived at the Moore Hotel and were immediately impressed. It was immensely cool looking. After checking in, they walked down to the Pike Place Market. Although the evening was cool, Sarah wore a tank top under her jacket. She had plans for the market that night. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Seattle-Washington-Cool-Engagement-Mar-03-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Seattle-Washington-Cool-Engagement-Mar-03-09.html Tue, 03 Mar 2009 04:35:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/tom-robbins-seattle-washington.jpg The next day was back to business, for the most part. They wanted to check out as much of Portland as they could. They started the day by running at Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the Willamette River. Then, having sweated out pure Grey Goose, they went back to the hotel to shower. Since Portland was such a funky city, they decided to check out one of the more off-beat jewelers. They headed downtown, to SW Broadway, where they found themselves in a shop that had jewelry that looked more like art. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Portland-Oregon-Cthulhu-Engagement-Rings-Feb-26-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Portland-Oregon-Cthulhu-Engagement-Rings-Feb-26-09.html Thu, 26 Feb 2009 06:44:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/portland-oregon-japanese-garden.jpg As Nick and Sarah drove north toward Oregon, they saw some of the most beautiful vineyards and trees—not every road trip was like this. They were very happy to learn that, as they looked for Medford, Oregon engagement rings, they would also be looking for southern Oregon’s finest wines. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/medford-oregon-bowling-engagement-rings-feb-23-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/medford-oregon-bowling-engagement-rings-feb-23-09.html Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:28:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/roxy-peak-medford-oregon.jpg Nick and Sarah were a little sad to leave their hippie hotel, but were ecstatic about looking for fine wines and fine diamond engagement rings in Wine Country, California. They had seen the names on so many bottles before. Calistoga, Napa Valley, Sonoma, Glen Ellen, Oakville, Kenwood. They were the holy grails of American wines. So they set off for the town of Rutherford, California. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Wine-Country-Engagement-Rings-Wine-Feb-18-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Wine-Country-Engagement-Rings-Wine-Feb-18-09.html Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:49:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/auberge-soleil-wine-country.jpg Sarah knew that, of all places, she could find fantastic antique diamond engagement rings in San Francisco. Sarah had booked their room at the Red Victorian Inn at 1662 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117. She was giddy to find that “Flower Child Room” was available during their stay, which was to be a few days longer than most places so they could hit up Wine Country for a day as well. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/san-francisco-hippie-engagement-Feb-12-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/san-francisco-hippie-engagement-Feb-12-09.html Thu, 12 Feb 2009 05:25:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/red-victorian-sf-diamonds.JPG “Well, I can only speak of celebrities,” Sarah responded, “but yes, if you are a female celebrity in Los Angeles, California, engagement rings probably make up the bulk of your jewelry collection.” Nick looked puzzled. “Isn’t there some kind of etiquette about returning a ring if you break the engagement?” Sarah smiled. “I think that only applies if the guy can’t necessarily afford to buy a small island without breaking a sweat,” she told him. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/los-angeles-california-engagement-rings-02-08-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/los-angeles-california-engagement-rings-02-08-09.html Sun, 08 Feb 2009 02:23:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/griffith-park-observatory-la.jpg As Nick and Sarah got on the road to San Diego, California—their first stop of a few in the state—Sarah leaned back in her seat and looked at Nick. “It’s a funky city. I’ll bet San Diego, California is colored diamond central,” she said. “Maybe some pink diamonds, or some orange diamonds. Hopefully pink. I can channel my inner J. Lo.” http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/San-Diego-California-Diamond-Rings-02-03-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/San-Diego-California-Diamond-Rings-02-03-09.html Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:52:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/bitter-end-san-diego.jpg Anxious to check out Las Vegas itself, and to see what colossal array of engagement rings Las Vegas had to offer, Nick and Sarah were a little bit giddy. They had already made arrangements to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel, see Cirque du Soleil at the Bellagio, and eat at La Cirque, also at the Bellagio. Neither of them had any great interest in gambling, so they’d have plenty of time to check out “Sin City”. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/las-vegas-nevada-engagement-ring-01-29-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/las-vegas-nevada-engagement-ring-01-29-09.html Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:27:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/bellagio-las-vegas-nevada.jpg “There’s something a little poetic here. We will be looking in Phoenix, Arizona at diamond engagement rings, we are going to see an Arizona Diamondbacks game, and we are playing golf on a five-diamond course,” he said to Sarah. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/phoenix-arizona-engagement-rings-01-26-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/phoenix-arizona-engagement-rings-01-26-09.html Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:41:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/Oasis-Phoenix-Arizona.jpg Having seen a lot of what the Midwest had to offer in engagement rings, Albuquerque, New Mexico and its Southwestern appeal would be Nick and Sarah’s next stop. They would also catch up with the International Balloon Fiesta, in which 700 hot-air balloons would take off at once. It was a major to-do in the city, and put Albuquerque, New Mexico on the world-wide map. Prior to that, Sarah’s only knowledge of Albuquerque is that Bugs Bunny often lamented that he should have taken a left turn there. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/albuquerque-new-mexico-engagement-rings-01-19-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/albuquerque-new-mexico-engagement-rings-01-19-09.html Mon, 19 Jan 2009 02:31:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/albuquerque-downtown-engagement-diamonds.jpg Having re-dedicated themselves to the search for the perfect engagement ring, Nick and Sarah headed for Denver, Colorado. They would be staying about an hour from there, in Breckenridge, Colorado, because Sarah’s best friend from childhood lived in nearby Frisco. Sarah had been promising to visit for years, but hadn’t ever gone. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Denver-Breckenridge-Engagement-Rings-01-11-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Denver-Breckenridge-Engagement-Rings-01-11-09.html Sun, 11 Jan 2009 04:49:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/city-jazz-denver-colorado.jpg Nick and Sarah were next headed to look at diamond engagement rings in Cheyenne, Wyoming, but mostly they couldn’t wait to get to Cheyenne's Frontier Days, which is known as the “Daddy of ‘em all” in the rodeo world. Neither had ever been to a real rodeo before. Nick turned the radio on to a country/western station to put them in the right frame of mind. Although Frontier Days—and its corresponding riotously fun Frontier Nights—could keep them busy all day, every day for nine straight days, they vowed to focus a little more time on the jewelry business. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/cheyenne-wyoming-engagement-rings-01-06-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/cheyenne-wyoming-engagement-rings-01-06-08.html Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:30:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/mechanical-bull-engagement-rings.jpg The ride down I-80 gave them a good idea of what being “Out West” was about. During this time, Sarah, who was driving, asked Nick to get online and find the best hotel they could get in Casper, Wyoming. Being raised in the city gave her a fear of staying in some dusty motel a la “Psycho”. She didn’t like tumbleweeds or insects the size of rats (cockroaches don’t count when you’re a New Yorker). http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Casper-Wyoming-Jackalope-Diamond-12-30-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Casper-Wyoming-Jackalope-Diamond-12-30-08.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:20:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/casper-engagement-ring.jpg Nick and Sarah opted not to tell him all of the events at the Sturgis Rally. They smiled and waved goodbye as they headed off to their next destination. Sarah looked at Nick, held out her left hand, and said: “Maybe your Royal Cheapness can buy me a diamond engagement ring in Billings, Montana, since you skipped right to the Harley-themed wedding rings”. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/billings-montana-diamonds-blues-12-28-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/billings-montana-diamonds-blues-12-28-08.html Sun, 28 Dec 2008 05:18:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/billings-montana-blues-diamonds.jpg Nick and Sarah said goodbye, put on their ultra-cool, “Easy Rider”-style helmets, and kicked the Harley into motion. They would ride the 5 hours to Rapid City, South Dakota to check out engagement rings in the 57701 zip code, then head off to Sturgis for the biggest Harley Rally in the country. Sarah was giddy with anticipation. She was even ready, if necessary, to drink too much beer and ride topless down the main drag. She did, after all, want to fit in. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/sturgis-rally-diamond-engagement-12-22-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/sturgis-rally-diamond-engagement-12-22-09.html Mon, 22 Dec 2008 01:28:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/harley-sturgis-wedding-rings.jpg Sarah smiled. She knew Nick’s aunt and uncle were preparing an all-out barbecue feast in honor of their arrival from New York. Sarah was giddy at the thought of sleeping in a real bed and taking a hot shower for a few nights before heading out again—even if it meant being in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a place she thought she’s never go. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Sioux-Falls-Wedding-Rings-12-15-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/Sioux-Falls-Wedding-Rings-12-15-08.html Mon, 15 Dec 2008 02:48:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/sioux-falls-jewelry-diamonds.jpg Nick and Sarah left the Grand Cherokee safely in Omaha and unloaded their bikes. It was only a short ride across the river to Council Bluffs, Iowa, for the beginning of RAGBRAI (Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa). She was oddly excited to see Iowa, after doing some research on it. Prior to that, all she knew about Iowa is the people there could make a vowel last for-e-ver. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/ragbrai-iowa-city-engagement-12-10-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/ragbrai-iowa-city-engagement-12-10-08.html Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:52:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/iowa-hawkeyes-engagement-ring.jpg We join our heroes, Nick and Sarah, as they go on a cross-country tour, something they’ve dreamed of for years. Mostly, they just want to see the country, but they plan to turn it “work-related” as they check out different cities as they make plans to open their own upscale online jewelry store. http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/engagement-rings-omaha-nebraska-12-03-08.html http://www.jamesallen.com/news/Nick&Sarah/engagement-rings-omaha-nebraska-12-03-08.html Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:49:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/Omaha-Nebraska-68102.jpg
