Long story short, we had researched a few jewelers to pick out an engagement ring before we arrived in Rome. We happened to be at the restaurant next door, Life Ristorante (I would also recommend), and looked over and saw Arte e Natura, which was one that we had found recommended. My now wife found a ring she wanted but wanted a different gem. We did not know any Italian and the jeweler did not know any English. That didn't stop us and he was extremely lovely to work with. Not only was he able to accommodate her request of the gem changeout but he was also able to meet our requirement of being able provide the ring within 36 hours. Upon arrival his son greeted us and expressed his and his father's happiness of working with us and informed us he went ahead and provided a sapphire that had a higher clarity than we expected. We couldn't have asked for a better purchase and it is a story that we will never forget! read more
