Make this your first and last stop. I spent the most informative two hours ever here with James Schivaone, the president and owner, a GIA Graduate Gemologist and a geologist. James and Jean would have spent even more time with me, if I hadn't had to leave. Please, please, listen. Do not waste your time at other jewelers. There was no pressure to buy. In fact, they encouraged me to go home and think about it. Seriously, why would anyone want to buy an off-the-rack engagement ring? James showed me what a raw diamond looks like, the difference in cuts: super ideal vs. ideal vs. good. When we were done, the top of the case was filled with diamonds and settings. Most places show you only two items at a time because "our insurance doesn't allow more then two items to be shown at one time". Go here, you will not regret it. I'm thrilled and I'm already contemplating my next purchase.
