I'll begin by saying this was one of the most pleasant experiences I've had in a long while. My husband and I were greeted immediately (even though we were in workout wear, fresh from the gym:-) and offered a drink. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful (adorable large poodle for ambiance). We went in to see a specific designer I had seen on the web and were escorted to the appropriate showcase. What I didn't expect was that they carried a designer I had not discovered in my hours of web surfing. Katherine James was EXACTLY what I was seeking. I learned that Calvin's is one of only twelve retailers in the United States to carry her line. My husband and I purchased a piece several weeks later and were given a three week lead time. It came in one day early and was more beautiful than I imagined. Unfortunately, there was a fit issue (my fault). Calvin promptly added a bar to the inside in less than 24 hours and didn't charge us. The whole experience was perfection, just like my new ring:-)
Pros: Exclusive nmerchandise, SUPER friendly staff
Cons: Didn't find them sooner
