My boyfriend and I recently got engaged. We haven't really gone shopping for THE ring and we were in the area so we decided to stop on in to get ideas.
We were initially greeted by this guy CJ who was very laid back but helpful in trying to find what we were looking for. I don't have a clear idea of what I want (I just got engaged) but he was good about throwing ideas out there. In fact, everything was going well until his manager Larry came along.
Larry was extremely pushy and expected us to know what kind of diamond I wanted, what size, cut and clarity as well as a budget. I have a rough idea of what I like but to be asked 1000 questions was obnoxious. On top of that I stated that I do not like round cut diamonds and he pulled out 2 round cut rings and kept suggesting I try them on. I left this jeweler completely discouraged and teary eyed. If this experience is what it's like jewelry shopping for an engagement ring I'd rather not have a ring at all.
Two stars for the initial helpful employee, otherwise I will NEVER step foot in this pushy jeweler again.
