| - I stumbled upon D&R House of Diamonds on Yelp, and based on the reviews I knew I had found the place to purchase an engagement ring. I set up a consultation with Dave for the following day, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I came to him with fairly specific ideas for the ring design and diamond shape, and we worked together to come up with a truly unique engagement ring. In the 40+ years of his career, Dave said this was the only diamond of this shape he's ever sold (it's a kite shape).
This was the first jewelry purchase of my life, and Dave made me extremely comfortable. He took the time to explain to me the different types of metals, how they are made, their characteristics, and basic care and repair needs, as well as information that each person should take into consideration when purchasing a diamond (cuts, clarity, etc).
Once we came to agreement on the design, Dave set off to find the perfect stone. In less than a week he had a stone shipped to his offices and it was absolutely perfect. He called me in to check them out, and sent them off to his master jeweler to create the ring. Staring with the consultation to the day I picked up the ring, I'd say it was a total of 25-30 days. For how specific my needs were, this was WAY faster than expected and hoped for.
Dave made an extremely nerve wracking purchasing experience seem like a trip to the grocery store. I had to be fairly sneaky about this so most of our conversations were held in person and via text. The price was extremely fair, and possibly even lower than what it should be considering rings I've seen at a similar price point that look pretty bland. I highly, highly recommend D&R House of Diamonds for all of you jewelry needs.
Here's a photo of the ring he created. Pictures are hard to do this piece justice, but it is absolutely unbelievable. My fiancé was blown away and we are constantly getting compliments for how unique it is. Meeting with Dave was the absolute best decision. We'll be back!
