| - The first of many wedding-related reviews I'll be writing over the next few months (blech, does it get any more girly? ah well). Karat Patch, you're awesome!
So after hemming, hawing, discussing, researching, and browsing (god, we even went to Tiffany's) beau and I decided on simple bands for our wedding rings. We knew what kind of weight we wanted, what color, that kind of thing - weren't sure on the metal.
So we sit down at Karat Patch and fondle like, 100 rings. They have a decently large selection to look through, and the lady helping us along was tolerant of our uncertainty (hour, hour and a half, two). We decide on a pair, they carefully size us, and then order them.
This is when the service starts getting really, really good.
Although they had already ordered our rings, they called when they'd gotten a similar style in in our price range - did we want to come see the new rings? We might like them more than the ones we'd already chosen. Cool.
When we needed an extra week before throwing down muchos dolares on our new rings, they were totally chill about it. "No problem, we'll just hold onto them for ya." It ended up being more like 2. Still, no issues.
We felt like we mattered, like they wanted our business. They were respectful, but really friendly. They offered to resize stuff if, as the wedding approached, things weren't still a perfect fit. Threw in all sorts of jewelry cleaning stuff, nice boxes, the whole shebang. Plus, the prices were reasonable and they were up front about any changes, how to save a little, etc. The perfect mom + pop experience, people. Screw Tiffany's. Yay Karat Patch!
