Friendly and very knowledgeable staff.

I bought my fiance's wedding ring and band here and I had wonderful service. I would suggest making an appointment if you already have a ring or another piece in mind so that you can be helped immediately, particularly on weekends. Otherwise you should be able to walk right in and have someone assist you on week days. As part of their service they like to make sure that you are educated as a buyer, which was great for me being that I had never bought a diamond ring before. They had booklets that I could keep and worked with me for about a hour just educating me about diamonds. They brought out several diamonds, showing me different qualities and sizes so I knew exactly what I wanted and why diamonds are priced the way they are. They even told me to go to a few other location first to get a feel and talk to other stores just so I could understand the market and then decide if the ring I had picked there was still the ring I wanted the following week. Overall they really care about their customers and they don't work off of commission, so they are not pushy. The only draw back is that they are still upper end so I would seriously consider your budget if you are planning on buying a ring here. It's well worth it but if you you don't have a solid amount saved up you may be only disappointed when you see all the other rings in the store.

They are not on top of you but available for questions. The store is filled with fashion jewelry for all. It is not packed with items but tastefully displayed so you can truly see the items. This is very much appreciated. There is an amazing couch to lounge on as well if you need to rest for a bit or deliberate how many pieces you need to purchase. If you are looking for that piece to enhance your outfit give them a try.
