Negotiating with Local Jewellery Stores? (Small Purchase)

[jbsali]

I'm looking at picking up a set of earrings, ring, necklace or a bracelet as a gift and want to know if Local Jewellery stores are open to negotiating.

I figure the purchase will be anywhere from $100-300. I'm not to sure if there really open w/ smaller purchases but the mark up on jewellery (especially diamonds) is so high i figure they might..

Has anyone ever tried this? Or had any experience negotiating a lower price w/ smaller purchases?

Thanks in advance

The more you are willing to spend the better deal you will get from the jewler.
