My fiance and I ended up paying for our wedding by ourselves, on minimum wage salaries. We wanted the simplest wedding rings we could find. We quickly found out, even a plain metal band is expensive!
We frequented every jewelry store in town trying to find plain silver wedding bands. However, every ring was out of our price range.
Calvin's Fine Jewelry was a godsend for us. They worked with our budget, and they spent hours helping us comb through our options. They treated us like we were real people. After such a journey of driving around and telling people our budget in shame, Calvin's treated us just the same as the couple next to us, who spent a fortune. There truly is no discrimination in this place. They were super polite, and they provided us with unlimited tiny bottles of free water during our stay.
The atmosphere is elegant, yet comfortable. There are beautiful photographs of wedding couples all over the walls. The glass cases have stained wood edges. It's very intimate and inviting. The staff is wonderful, and they will work with you no matter what your budget is. Even if you only have $150 dollars to spend, they can find you a plain metal band.
Once my fiance and I decided upon rings, they steamed and examined the prongs on my engagement ring for free. They say I can return at any time to get it steamed or have the prongs re-examined. My fiance ended up getting a shiny metal band. They said that if he changes his mind and wants it brushed at any time, he can come back and they'll change it for free.
They called me two days later and said the rings they ordered for us had arrived. I couldn't believe it was so quick!
The entire staff was so friendly and personal. They really get to know you and share in your joy.
If you go to Calvin's Fine Jewelry, which is the only place I will ever shop for jewelry again, you should ask for Leah. She is such a sweetheart! She was super nice to us, and she really spent a lot of time trying to find our best option and make sure we were happy with it. She's really nice, and if you're not sure what you're doing, she'll lead you in the right direction.
One thing people don't think about is, when you've never been ring shopping before, it can be a strange and nervous thing. Leah and Calvin's Fine Jewelry made this day one of the happiest of our lives. Best jewelry shop ever!
