| - My boyfriend (fiance now!) and I visited Shane Co. when we first started our "ring hunt". The place came highly recommended by several of my coworkers, and they couldn't have been more right! Despite the fact that we were in old jeans and t-shirts (we had spent the morning cleaning and taking our dog to the park) we were treated with the same respect and courtesy as if we were wearing designer clothing. When we shared that we were on a moderate budget with our shopping, the amazing staff still continued to be friendly, helpful and attentive, never once writing us off or being blinded by dollar signs.
For the center stone, we chose to reset a diamond that both my mother and grandmother had worn in their rings. Marianne was so complimentary of the stone, and took the time to clean it before we started the process so we could simply appreciate its beauty. Even though the rings were thousands of dollars, there was never any hesitancy by the staff to simply hand them over and let me try them all on. They never hovered or rushed us, but instead took the time to patiently guide us through this important decision. The entire staff has a unique way of making you feel like the rings you are choosing are great choices, while not seeming fake or as though they are just trying to get you to buy something. It truly is the most relaxed, yet professional environment, which is such a great way to start what is traditionally a stressful process.
I am so incredibly pleased with our entire experience and cannot recommend this wonderful store enough!
