My and my new fiance, thanks to the help of Gary and Lauren Diamonds, first stumbled onto this store on the whim of the other excellent ratings. As young, inexperienced diamond buyers, we went in with very little knowledge on what to expect. Gary took us through the entire process, from what to look for, what prices are reasonable, and how to shape the ring from ground up. On day one, he showed us the diamond that would eventually be on my fiances hand as I write this. But as newcomers, we didn't want to jump the ship there on the spot. Gary made it so easy by holding the diamond for us and telling us to shop around with our newly acquired knowledge. An so we did.
Now's the time to mention how quickly we ran back to Lauren Diamonds to purchase that rock Gary showed us. Trice and Shane Co. were asking almost $2000 more for the same size stone! I also have to mention what horrible quality they were, carbon spots, yellowed, and just plain ugly for the price. The diamond Gary showed us is as close to perfection as it comes. After a few more weeks, we designed the ring itself with Gary's help and my fiances guidance, and it couldn't have been a better experience. Donny - Aurora, Colorado
