Use "I do now I don't" (.com). I have no affiliation with them whatsoever but I bought the engagement ring for my fiance from them.....it's basically an online marketplace for used engagement rings/jewelery. I was able to contact the seller of the ring I bought, negotiate, and then purchase through the site. IDNID receives the rings from the seller, verifies the authenticity, and if everything is good they ship to the buyer with the official certification (American Geological Institute)

It's one of those old small northeastern cities that was gutted when all the industry left, but it's definitely on the upswing recently. It has a really cute, relatively intact downtown with a ton of potential and a bunch of very recent development adjacent to the station. Capron Park and its little zoo is a really nice asset too. That said it's definitely way sleepier than Providence (but only a 20 minute train ride away). The bus system there is bad though.. GATRA makes RIPTA look like the Tokyo Metro

Not to talk you out of Providence (I grew up here and I love it), but it might be worth looking into Attleboro. There's an MBTA stop downtown with a lot of recent development clustered around it, so you can easily get to Providence or Boston. It's also in Massachusetts, which has a much better school system overall and access to in-state UMASS benefits. Massachusetts also has the closest thing to universal healthcare that exists in the US right now.
