I’d like to thank these independent jewelry stores in Bismarck — Schumacher Diamond Cutters & Jewelers, Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers (both locations), Kokkeler's Jewelry, and Antique & Coin Exchange — for being friendly and helping me out in mid-July as I searched for prop options for a commercial I was working on.

Also thanks to Zorells for trying to help but they were much too thorough at pre-slappin' their name on everything they had in stock. Good branding for them but bad for me.
