"I first heard about JAB on a friend's referral and I'm really glad that I did! I worked with 2 members of the staff to have a custom-design engagement ring made. I spoke with Deborah who took down my initial details about what I was looking for and then I was contacted by Michael who worked closely with me to really hammer out the details so that he could begin working on creating a mock-up of the final piece. \n\nAs many people already know either first-hand or second-hand, buying an engagement ring can be a pretty daunting process, let alone trying to design one. Based on my description of what I wanted Michael helped to make it easy by first helping me to select the stone. He was able to show me some samples of the type of stone that I was looking for and clearly explain the differences in the class, cut, clarity, and color of the stones that he was presenting and of course the price points. Once the stone was picked it was a matter of selecting the band. He showed me some samples of bands similar to what I was looking for and even designed a graphic concept image. What we ended up with was a hybrid of an antique ring designed by an Arab designer and a computer-generated rendering of the concept ring that included some other details that I wanted. \n\nWhen the \"big day\" came, my now fianc\u00E9 was very pleased with her ring...and more importantly she said yes! What made this whole process even more impressive is that I live out of state so all of this was done via many phone calls and emails with pictures back and forth. Deborah and Michael literally looked at my fianc\u00E9's picture and worked with me to create a ring that looked like she was born to wear it. \n\nI felt very comfortable during the process working with the staff at JAB. I DID NOT find a bunch of salesmen rushing me to buy just any old piece of jewelry that would max out my budget. I DID find a pair of sales persons in Michael and Deborah who took the time to understand what I want and show me pieces worthy of my time, my hard-earned money, and most importantly worthy of the finger of the princess wearing the masterpiece we created."^^ .
