Marisa and Douglas make an exceptional team, and in return, the customer gets a high level of personalized service and a high quality, often customized, finished product. The relationship started with engagement ring shopping. My fianc? was intrigued by their unparalleled micro-pave work. While I had a good idea of what my fianc? was looking for in a ring, I visited a number of jewelry stores ? Harry Winston, Tiffany?s, Cartier, Van Cleff & Arples, Kwiat, among others. After all, this was one of the more costly purchases of my life, and definitely the most meaningful one, so I was determined to get it ?right?. Marisa and Douglas set themselves apart on a number of levels ? (1) custom nature: I liked being able to pick the loose diamond that would be set. Looking at pre-set diamonds was not the same. Douglas brought in about 10 - 15 loose stones within certain parameters that allowed me to assess the trade-offs between carat weight, cut, color and clarity ? we narrowed it down over time and found the stone that exhibited the features that I valued most; (2) patience: the team at Marisa Perry worked many hours to earn my trust and the sale ? they taught me some of the nuances of diamond industry and demonstrated a sincere eagerness to deliver a high quality product that would leave my fianc? elated; (3) value: after comparative shopping, I?m convinced that I could not have gotten a better value (high quality for the price); (4) ring setting: my fianc? wanted a specific type of diamond, but the setting was of equal importance. The Larisa setting is unique because it allows the wedding band(s) to fit flush against the engagement ring. For instance, the comparable setting at Harry Winston does not allow for this fit, which leaves space between the engagement ring and wedding band; and (5) boutique feel: the experience was more than a simple business transaction. Marisa, Douglas, Bob, Roberto and others have went out of their way to make sure that I am a satisfied customer.
In addition to the engagement ring, I have since purchased our wedding bands which were also customized and engraved. Furthermore, I purchased a custom set of diamond earrings that match the design of my wife?s engagement ring. When my wife and I returned from our honeymoon, Marisa Perry set some loose pearls in a pair of earrings and a necklace. In short, they can do it all, and they turned a single sale into a lifelong customer relationship. Their quality is very comparable (or better) to top notch, well known stores, and their service is awesome ? highly personal and professional. I highly recommend that you visit their boutique store or their website and see what they can offer.
