If you are looking for the perfect engagement ring that is chic, elegant, drop dead gorgeous, timeless, and your best bang for your buck this is the place to go.
My boyfriend - now my fiance got engaged over New Years 2008! My fiance knowing that my artist and fashionista eye would want to be invovled in selecting my engagement ring took me to Dianne's January 2nd (I mean come on now it is going to be on MY finger for the rest of my life; I better LOVE it).
It was like walking back in time to a place full of beauty and diamonds! This place is truly magical. Let me explain:
Before we headed over to Dianne's we had looked at their website and saw a ring we both liked. I had never tried on engagment rings so I didn't know what it would look on my finger, but I knew I really liked it.
We went to Dianne's and when we told the man behind the counter (Rod - he is fabulous!) we were looking for engagement rings he said, ""We'll this may be your first and last stop."" We told him our budget and then reached into a case and pulled out the exact ring we had looked at online!!!!! I put it on my finger and almost cried; it was the ring.
The people that run this place are absolutely FABULOUS; there is no pressue and they really love and know what they are doing!!! It is a family run business and they even have an in house jewler that can size your ring within 1-2 hrs the same day!!! Ok ladies that is unheard of.
Even though my breath was taken away by the first ring Rod told me to try on every style since it was my first time. He starting pulling out ring after ring. I must have tried on 30 rings; it was such a fun and awesome experince. As for the prices - I found they had every price range and a good selection for every range. Most people think we spent 10K on our ring when we actually spent half that - I love that even more!
My fiance and I went to Perry's to go think about it and have lunch. We wrote down lots of questions we had and went back. As soon as we walked in Rod pulled out the ring; he just knew.
We bought. Got it sized in 1 hour. Went back to Perry's and celebrated!!!!! Even my fiance said it was such a fun experience that he wants to go back to find his band there.
My ring is beyond beautiful. EVERYWHERE I go I get comletments. I love that my ring is eco friendly and a unqiue piece that won't be reproduced like a cookie like they do at other stores. I have never seen such beautiful craftmanship! It has been 2 months and I still can't stop staring at my ring; I am beyond in love with it.
This is a magical place so venture carefully - you may come out engaged!
