My fiancee and I decided to go ring shopping together, and we were looking for a vintage ring. A friend of mine is studying gemology and she recommended Antoinette's because she knew her selection was high quality and her prices were low. I called Antoinette on the phone and described the type of ring I was looking for. When I went to the store a few days later, the very first ring she pulled out, an art-deco from the 20's or 30's, was the one we decided on. Plus we found a charming wedding band to go with it. She is very friendly and patient and obviously loves her work.
My fiancee ended up paying far less for both the engagement ring AND wedding band than he had planned on just for the engagement ring. Antoinette said she is the only one running her shop, so she has little overhead and can pass that savings on to us. She even gave a small discount on the band when we realized we had enough cash.
I highly recommend this shop!
Pros: wide selection, friendly and personal service, surprisingly low prices
