We went to a few jewelry stores before coming to Shane co just shopping around for an engagement ring for my lady. We walked in just to try things on and there was no pressure to buy the whole time, they don't work on commission. They really did treat my girlfriend as if she was special asking all the right questions about the ring and making it a great experience by making it personal about how we met and our future together. The whole time we didn't feel pressured. We actually found the perfect setting then they taught us about the diamonds and we choose a perfect one in the budget that looks great in the ring. I put the money down and will finance as well. No pressure and presently surprised how great the experience was and not to mention lifetime warranty and great options for diamond upgrades all the other jewelers were charging for. All in all perfect experience. If Eli and Paige helps you out, you have no worries and are in great hands.
