Very happy with my recent visit to Henne Jewelers. I have been wanting/pining/needing diamond studs for a loong time. The "other" studs that I had purchased as a "consolation attempt" were nice, but they were just not cut out to replace or imitate the fire and ice that is diamond.
There are MANY places to shop for diamonds... malls, buildings, interwebs, and I am pretty sure that I covered them all. It was frustrating and a little overwhelming. These are earrings that i want to have for a looong time and I would love to be able to hand-down to my daughter one day (after I wear the heck out of 'em). It is a committment purchase and I was treating it as such.
On the recommendation of a friend (who had sensational diamond stud earrings) - I headed to Henne in Shadyside. They have been around for 120-some years, so they must be doing something right, right?
There were colors/carats/clarities to be discussed - but, for the first time, i felt like I was getting answers from someone who was looking out for my best interest. They listened to what I wanted (and what I thought I knew from my google searches) and they helped me to make a purchase of which I am confident and willing to express to the world!
My daughter already has her eye on them... : )
