I had a slight idea what type of engagement ring my now fiancee wanted. I went in to see Ryan at Coffin and Trout and he helped me through the whole process and was great to work with. He helped me find the perfect diamond that fit both my budget and my liking. His designers built a CAD computer rendering for my approval first and then built a full scale model out of plastic so I could see and feel the ring with the diamond in it. The ring was custom and they had it made pretty quickly.
I had no idea what size ring to get so with the help of Ryan, we selected a size that was pretty close. His great advice was to make sure the ring was not too small. I would have hated it if I got down on one knee and proposed and the ring didn't fit on her finger. She was able to go in when we got back from our vacation and they fitted the ring for her.
We would give Coffin and Trout 10 Stars out of 10 and will be customers for life. They all went out of their way to work with me and meet my budget. We got a gorgeous custom ring, excellent customer service and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
If you know what you want in a ring or are just starting the search, trust me, go see the great people at Coffin and Trout.
