A couple of months ago I started my search for a perfect engagement ring. After visiting numerous websites and in-store visits, I was left confused, discouraged and a quite frankly very nervous about what to do next. Here I was completely inexperienced in the trade and caught up in a situation where I had to move forward quickly to get the perfect ring and diamond so I can propose to the love of my life!
After an exhausting on-line search I found Dimend SCAASI's web site. The website immediately set them apart from the other 3 dozen or so jeweler websites I had visited and considered for this significant purchase. The ring designs they have are quite special and very reasonably priced. So I picked up the phone and called. I was greeted by Lexi who instantly put me at ease and set up an appointment later on the same day where she showed me several of the ring designs in a live video cast that can be arranged through the Dimend website!!! (I recommend this as a first step even if you live in the area) Lexi was VERY patient with me and we discussed all the details of the various designs and potential options for almost an hour. At this point I was very close to being sold.... but I wanted to be certain I'm making the right choice so I asked Lexi if I could pay them a visit at the Dimend SCAASI store to view the short listed rings in person. Lexi was able to squeeze me in within a couple of days. The store is located in a nice setting and the employees are extremely professional and helpful. You really get the sense that they are not out to squeeze every dollar you have out of you - but at the same time they want to be sure they do everything they can to meet your needs. I am very particular about quality and service and let me tell you that the buying experience as Dimend is really something else!
The setting design I ended up with was quite elaborate (more than 40 encrusted diamonds in the setting) but I had one problem - her finger size is a size 3!!! I was really nervous that if the jeweler is not skilled they might not be able to appropriately scale things down with the size of the ring to make it look proportionate. Lexi discussed all the details with me and ensured that it will look perfect with the diamond I selected.
I just picked up the ring yesterday. And WOW!!!! I really have nothing else to add. It is just a stunning piece of Jewelry, art almost!! I never thought that something this small can have such detail and look this good. The next time I need a piece of Jewelry made I am going nowhere else but to Dimend SCAASI. A modern buying experience from start to finish.
Now comes the second phase of my plan - how to pop the question!!!!!!
Pros: A modern buying experience
Cons: not a single thing!!!
