Review #1500!
I had to wait a while to write this review because this is where I ended up buying my fiancee's engagement ring.
I was in town for some training and staying at a hotel down the street so I thought I would check out what the US jewelry stores had to offer.
After a couple minutes of browsing I was greeted and asked what I was looking for. She gave me a rundown of the basics about the store and their offerings of engagement rings. Then we got right into it. My fiancee had been pinning designs that she liked so I pulled up that list to help narrow things down. Once we had gone through all of the display cases I narrowed it down to four rings.
We skipped past the pitch about diamonds as I had already heard it many times at other jewelry stores. Finally I grabbed all of the information on the four rings to be pleasantly surprised that the one I liked the best and the one I thought my fiancee would like was significantly discounted because it had been discontinued.
I went back to my hotel to upload the options to the fiancee's Pinterest board and to do some research. After poking around on different websites and asking some sneaky questions to my fiancee I decided to go back and purchase the Neil Lane ring that had been discontinued. It turns out that there was almost the exact same ring still in production which was full price so I knew I'd be kicking myself later if I didn't snag this deal.
Upon returning to the store a few hours later, the staff member I was dealing with earlier was busy so I had a look around to see if I could find something to bring back for my lady as a gift that would throw her off the trail of me looking at rings.
During the purchase process I was informed that I would be getting a bunch of their reward points. This was perfect as I wanted to get something else for her, but the catch was that the points could only be used on certain designer brands. After looking at these, there was nothing that was in the price range that I wanted to spend on after the amount I spent on the ring. Later on in my trip I went to a different mall and bought her a Coach purse.
Overall I had a great experience here. The sales staff were very helpful and informative and went above and beyond to help me out in finding the right ring.
