I've come here over the past 20 years (with the grandma) and never really cared to write a review until my recent experience shopping for myself.
I knew to shop for wedding engagement & band at American retailers b/c there was a lot more variety and choices (plus bigger ones have 0% interest credit card offer). I decided to come here to buy diamond earrings (again, not a lot of choices but I wanted something simple).
The owner is helpful in that she is honest. She doesn't try to sell me a huge setting or an expensive stone. There was 2 halo settings that we liked and she said the smaller (obviously cheaper one) has a 'younger and simpler' vibe than the big one. I really appreciate this b/c I can't imagine anyone not wanting to sell the bigger more expensive ones.
Another time we went to buy necklace pendant. She showed me just the design that would accent the diamond and gives that 'younger' look. Not that I got money for any expensive (and maybe she knows?) but at least she respected my wishes and know what looks good and what I want versus trying to make big bucks.
Another thing I appreciate is the fact that owner isn't pushy. I'm not 'rolling in dough' so few hundred to few thousand is a 'big purchase' that requires me to think it through before purchasing. read more
