    My in person experience with VRAI was decent, I only wish that they had asked more personal questions etc about my lifestyle habits etc. when helping us chose a ring. My fiancé ended up going with a thinner band and within 6 months my engagement was out of round. I questioned the integrity of the platinum because I don't know anyone else whose ring went out of round that quickly, especially since I was taking it off to sleep, workout & shower. They charged me to send it in for an evaluation, deemed I was at fault & gave me the option to have it repaired (for more $) or to have it sent back as it was with the diamond spinning in the setting. Despite a promise that I would get it back within 3 weeks it took almost 3 months. Based on the above I decided to go elsewhere for my wedding band, only to find out that my VRAI engagement ring is set so low it is not compatible with most other brands bands ... I will have to live with the gap because I refuse to give VRAI anymore of my money. I was really disappointed in the whole experience, VRAI came highly recommend by friends and I was honestly shocked by the response to this situation based on what I had previously heard about them as a company.

    The Vrai ring I gave her.

    The whole engagement ring purchase was so fun and enjoyable at Vrai. Catherine Snyder was an absolute "Jewel" to work with. Pun intended. I was able to personalize the ring with her support all along the way. She was the best of the best. Sustainable diamonds is the only way to go people. Previously purchased another ring and earrings. All was top quality and the experience was top shelf as well. I love the whole experience of shopping at Vrai with how personable Kate and Catherine are whenever you call or go to the store. Catherine listens and guides you to what you want in jewelry. In the end you do NOT feel like you were sold something but rather you purchased something really meaningful. Five Star experience from start to finish.

    From the initial appointment to look at engagement rings all the way to getting my wedding band, Vrai was great! Elan at the Melrose location offered very nice customer service, walked us through diamond selection, and sized my band perfectly. We were very happy with the prices and quality.

    Came to this location with my fiancée numerous times and had the absolute worst experience of my life. Vrai had my initial review removed which should be warning enough. My fiancée and I made 3 visits to their physical store and decided to order through the sales rep my wedding band. This has been the worst experience I've ever had and our sales rep was Elan so make sure you don't get him. Firstly, they input our address wrong so there were long delays in getting my ring (kind of an issue when you're getting married soon). Once the ring arrived the quality was the worst, I'm honestly not sure how it passed QC, but nevertheless it did. The engraving and ring size were both wrong. We sent it back and were refunded after having to beg for a full refund and started the process all over again with ordering the ring a 2nd time. On the 2nd ring attempt it failed QC AGAIN, and now there's been another delay of 7 days so we're on our 3rd attempt to get this simple order correct now. So 3rd attempt arrived...the engraving isn't the same font, is almost illegible, and has " " around the words. The ring is also the wrong size and the color of the metals is different (really weird considering they're both 14K white gold). Vrai tried to fraudulently charge me additional fees and I had to fight tooth and nail to get a full refund all one week out from my wedding. What an absolute shit company, you should really shop elsewhere as this place is sketchy as hell, with no QC, and they outsource all the ring making to 3rd parties they have no oversight over. Don't trust these folks with your precious jewelry and try Ritani if you want to go online for lab diamonds or Icing On The Ring (check their Yelp) if you'd like to go in-person. They have a jeweler on site and have been absolutely wonderful to us for our engagement ring (shoutout to Ara) and now my wedding ring, which they were able to make correctly and in perfect form in less than a week all without upcharging us with extra fees. The ring we're getting is 1MM wider and has a larger diamond and is half the cost btw, so be aware that Vrai must have MASSIVE margins on their absolute crap quality rings. We had to mention we'd pursue legal recourse to get a full refund numerous times before they finally initiated the refund.

    So my boyfriend and I came here to look at rings a few months back. We had an awesome stylist Camilla who was seriously the best!!! We purchased a ring and were so happy with our experience. Flash forward about 8 months and we were in the area and a friend wanted to stop by. So we walked in and the man working the front area was shocked we had walked in. There was a couple sitting in the main area but they were just chatting. He asked us if we had an appointment. We told the guy (who was there last time we came and was very nice), hey we're just showing a friend where we had bought our ring. He looked at us so angrily and disgusted but said nothing. So we looked at the display for maybe 5 mins and left. As we walked out he locked the door behind us. If we weren't allowed to be there without an appointment, why not just say something instead of being passive aggressive and rude? After that, we almost wish we had not bought our ring here. Maybe it's just LA people (we're not from here) and they're just rude but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

    Honestly, one of the best experiences I've had with a jewelry store. My fiancé and I came to look at engagement rings. We had three visits with Hunter and he was super accommodating every time. Hunter was informative, honest, attentive, and responsive. He responded to our emails right away and even sent us reminders. Even helped us narrow down options. We also looked for rings at two other jewelers, brilliant earth and Anna Sheffield. But couldn't have ask for a better experience at VRAI. The store itself is a tight fit but very clean and private. I liked the minimalist look of the store and the 1:1 service they provided. I didn't feel rushed even though we had 1 hour appointments. I would highly recommend VRAI to others. We recommended VRAI to 4 of our friends and they all had a great experience with their purchase. Side note, as a chemist who's worked with particle accelerators and reactors, I'm also impressed by the plasma reactor technology of diamond foundry. It seems they are very thorough with the data they collect on the diamonds they produce.

    No secure upload... and now "every order" requires this... not the last time I ordered...

    I purchased a pair of earrings over the weekend from their online store. The earrings were supposed to ship today, Monday. I received an email Saturday night requesting an ID for verification. I emailed the service representative back asking if they had a secure link as I was uncomfortable sending it via email or uploading it to a live chat. This was a low value purchase. The charge went through on my card. However, they said that their mysterious third-party accountant had flagged my order for fraud. Then when I questioned them not having a secure place to upload my ID they then said they do this for everyone.... Sounds like profiling to me.

    The search for The Ring ended here. A few months were spent looking for rings. From Zales to VRAI. Decided to go with lab grown for the quality and more humane option. After many jewelry visits. We came to San Diego for Brilliant Earth. Thought we would end up getting one there, but the quality was to be desired. Made an appointment for VRAI. We came in with zero expectations and she was amazed by the quality and options. It's a small intimate experience, with kind diamond experts to explore every option. Finally settled with a classic. Of course she said yes. Here's to VRAI and Love.

    Such an incredible engagement ring experience here! Hunter was our contact and I want to commend how professional, kind, & knowledgeable he was, plus we didn't feel the least bit of pressure at any point. Amazing company ethos, staff, concept, and of course incredible jewelry! * sustainable, lab grown diamonds * recycled gold * great staff! * well-designed, stunning jewery * perfect online & in-store experience

Eli knew exactly what I meant when I asked for a beautifully symmetric diamonds and not crushed ice. We vibed right away. He has great taste and knows what a beautiful diamond looks like from an ugly one. Because let me tell you, there are a lot of ugly diamonds out there and there are many brokers who will try to convince you that they're pretty! I also really appreciated that he didn't ask what my budget was like so many other places. He focused on finding me not one, but two perfectly matched pairs of diamonds for studs. All of the other places wouldn't show me more than one pair. And you know what? I took both pairs because they were both so perfect I couldn't let them go! Other places told me it was impossible to find 2 old mine cushion cut matching diamonds but Eli did it. And he did it in like 2 days! He called me and kept me updated. When he showed me the diamonds he was super patient as I studied each one. There was never, at any point any sales pressure. He let me think over which pair I wanted without threatening that they'd be gone the next day (unlike Capri). I highly recommend him and wish I had found him before I got engaged!

We had been shopping around and comparing several jewelers, and he was by far the most straightforward and informative. Meryvn is also extremely charismatic and easy to work with -- he made what can feel like an overwhelming process actually enjoyable. He took the time to explain everything about the gold quality, weight, and pricing so we felt confident in what we were buying. No pressure, no gimmicks -- just real information and fair numbers. We ended up finding our dream solid 14k gold wedding bands, and he gave us a great deal compared to other quotes we received in the area. The quality and craftsmanship are beautiful, and we walked away feeling really good about our purchase. If you're looking for solid gold bands and want someone who is transparent, knowledgeable, and fair, definitely ask for Meryvn. Highly recommend!

    My husband had purchased my beautiful engagement ring in 2023, the service then was amazing, and…read morethe service again continues to be phenomenal. My engagement ring was a relatively thin platinum band, and they had warned us that the band would be malleable due to the material. However, I didn't realize how malleable it could get until after I began wearing it. I was so set on choosing platinum because I figured it would be the easiest and most low maintenance material. The band kept losing its shape any time I wore it. It began driving me insane because I needed to come in and get it fixed almost every 4-8 months (depending on how frequently I was wearing it). I started to get anxiety everytime I wore my engagement ring because I was so afraid of it losing shape. I began to wear it less and less and stuck to my wedding band (which is white gold--lesson learned) only. I was also too afraid to go to any other jeweler near where I lived to get the ring fixed because I truly only trusted Bridal Ring's team. Finally, I was done feeling afraid and decided to switch the band entirely. I explained to Zoe, an associate at Bridal Ring & explained the situation. We discussed the different options and ultimately we determined I wanted to switch my band to the lowest maintenance metal I could without losing the integrity and design I initially had. Zoe and the team were so kind. They came up with an idea to switch the band to a yellow gold band & solder my platinum prongs with my diamond onto it. It took a week for us to pick it up. & I am so glad I trusted Zoe and the team to execute the vision because I am genuinely over the moon about my ring. It's just as beautiful as when I first got it & now I'm not afraid to wear it! Thank you so much Zoe and Bridal Ring Co for listening to my desires and concerns. I appreciate you guys so much. I truly recommend them and their team.
