Subject: Thank you

Ron:

I hope your holiday season was filled will joy and good fun.

I wanted to let you know that the Round diamond ring is great. Lorraine loves it. I am glad I chose to business with you.

On a different note I inherited some fine jewelry dating from the 1850's to 1970's that is much larger than Lorraine will ever where. Do you sell loose diamonds & jewelry on consignment? I will wait to hear back from you.

Thanks again for your help thus far.

Ron- We are back from Portugal and I have a beautiful diamond engagement ring on my hand! I just wanted to say how thrilled we are with this ring. It looks SO huge and I'm sure it would of cost me 2-3 times more in any retail store. Thank you for working so closely with us and communicating even several times a day on the status of progress. It made me feel comfortable with purchasing from you and your wife. You made the ring just as requested and it is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you so much!

Hey Ron -

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Things have been pretty crazy lately.

I did propose and she did say yes. Were both very excited and planning for a September wedding. (hence the craziness) she absolutely loved the ring. I don't think she could have been any happier. Ill definitely be getting in touch with you for the wedding band. She's already made up her mind that she wants the matching one to the diamond engagement ring. She said to tell you that she gets many compliments on it daily.

Thanks so much for your suggestions and all of your help in turning a stressful purchase into a very easy one.

Dear Ron and Lois,

I am so grateful to you both for the sensitivity shown to me during this very important process of purchasing an engagement ring. It is rare to find people in the diamond business who take so much joy from simply doing the best job for their customer that anyone could ever do.

At some point in the process I was struck by the extraordinary drive shown by you both to not only meet your own high standards but to meet mine as well. The loose diamond is exquisite, and not simply because it is a GIA graded D Flawless stone. There is no "bowtie", no dead spot, and the fire of this radiant diamond is almost impossibly dramatic. I trusted you to find the perfect diamond and my trust was completely vindicated. Additionally, I cannot thank you enough for insisting on customizing both the ring and the mounting until it was exactly right.

Sometimes Diana will be looking at her diamond ring and will send me a text message out of nowhere just to tell me how crazy she is about it.

I would urge anyone I know to set aside their anxiety about buying a diamond over the internet if they are lucky enough to be purchasing it from you. Thank you for loving what you do.

Sincerely,
Carl

P.S. I will hold you to your promise to let us buy you and Lois dinner when we visit New York

Also, my fiancée was going to contact you about getting me a pair of diamond earrings. I’m interested in round diamonds set in white gold

Ron,
I need your help. I was in the process of working with a local jeweler to make my ring. They have taken 5 weeks already and today I received an email that as the jeweler was setting the last row of diamonds, he found porosity in the metal and now has to scrap the whole thing... I could find another local jewel and start the process all over, but I am hoping that you can help me.

The service I received from you when I purchased the loose diamond was second-to-none. Because of that I have faith that you can turn this around for me.

Thanks in advance,

One question, she wants to get the diamond ring appraised for insurance purposes. Can I use the GIA certificate for that purpose, or do we need to come in for the appraisal?

Greetings – Andrea loved the ring and told me that she could not have asked for something more perfect and appropriate.

I would like to discuss wedding bands with you – I would like something that will look good together with the Emerald cut and the Cathedral Setting.

Could you provide me with some budget pricing I can work with.

Thanks for everything! Nicole loved the ring! I proposed at Niagra Falls inside the Skywheel (175 Ft high enclosed ferris wheel) at the top. We had a beautiful view of the falls and she was in shock. After babeling in astonishment she finally said yes. She was so excited to tell her friends and family that we had to leave vacation a little early. Her family and everyone at her job has complimented her on the beauty of the ring. She especially likes the cushion cut and the design in the ring. Thanks again.
