Engagement - Real Stories

I got the diamond ring I ordered on time just like you said I would.

You guys are AWESOME!

I was able to get it in such short notice that I was ecstatic when it arrived and was able to give it to her when we left for Las Vegas the next mourning.

I proposed to her that Sunday night at the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel. She said it was the most beautiful diamond she ever saw. We just got back today and she called to tell me everyone at work is going crazy about how brilliant that diamond was.

I will guarantee you that I will be back buying diamond jewelry from you guys in the future & will recommend you to all my friends.
 

Thanks again for helping me make that night very special.

Real Engagement Stories    

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping Mike pick out my "GORGEOUS DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING".
 

I had no idea! It was truly a surprise, especially when we were on 7 Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands and we walked to this beautiful area and he stopped me and presented me with this beautiful diamond that dazzled in the sun! We both had tears in our eyes and he had the most magnificent smile on his face to see my reaction when I saw the diamond! I am sure it was a moment he was waiting for and relieved because he was kind of nervous that day and I had no idea why! The diamond ring was everything you described to him and more!

I just wanted to let you know how people were responding when they see this diamond. The women in my office were so amazed by it's brilliant sparkle and the men, well, they were amazed by the clarity and sparkle also, that they shocked me that they were so observant! I was the talk of my company and until today, everyone keeps coming up to me and holding my hand to ask if they could see my ring again. I find myself staring at my ring often too, I love it so much.
 

Thank you again,

Carol

Dani and I went to the beach and he suggested to stay and see the sunset with a bottle of wine, then when it was late in the evening he told me how much he loves me and asked me to close my eyes and when I opened, I could read in the sand "Will you marry me, Veronica?" and in the dot of the interrogation mark he placed a engagement ring box with a diamond ring inside. It was the most wonderful moment in my life!

It is hard to describe what a wonderful experience sharing this diamond with my wife became. She had no idea a diamond was even going to be part of our anniversary celebration. I planned an evening walk along the beach, and while she went to the hotel room to change shoes, I had only a brief minute to obtain the package, and meet her to 'go for our walk.' I had to run to get the package and, while still running, opened the package while returning to the hotel room. I stopped only long enough to peek inside the velvet box--the sight of the diamond literally took my breath away! It was beautiful.

The sharing of the diamond with my wife was very private and emotional and wonderful, including laughter and tears. . After getting over the initial surprise of receiving the ring, she asked where I had had this diamond hidden. She thought I had somehow 'stashed' the diamond in our checked luggage...and couldn't believe I had hidden it from her so well (since she had done all the packing for the trip).

Anyhow, to learn that her diamond actually was flown especially to Hawaii to be given to her made the whole event a memory which I wouldn't trade for anything. When I recounted the 'risk' and 'uncertainty' of the diamond's arrival, coupled with the fact that I had never even seen the diamond before giving it to her, coupled with the fact that she feels it is the most beautiful and fiery diamond she has ever seen, has all become a story and memory I would not trade for anything.

Thank you for making it happen.

Although my words could never parallel the extent of my gratitude, I would like to commit to words a personal thank-you. I would like relate to you a sequence of events that will acknowledge how my husband and I feel about a team of individuals (whom we now consider FRIENDS) you have at your fine establishment:

I met and fell in love with a wonderful Romanian man last year while attending graduate school. Although we come from different cultures, languages, and churches, we discovered that we were each other's dream come true! I believe true love knows no boundaries, but as we all know, families are less inclined than the heart to cross frontiers...Viorel, the love of my life whom I earlier referred to as my husband, proposed to me in November and I accepted. At that time he could not afford to buy me the ring he had envisioned to give me. He had told me that he wanted to buy me a two-carat diamond and told me the prices that he had been quoted at various jewelers. Although I was so excited that it felt as though butterflies were fluttering about my heart, the prices I heard made my ears ache. As a school teacher and recent graduate student, I felt obligated to research diamond values.

I went to the stores Viorel had visited and received the same quotes. I also learned quite a bit about diamonds. I learned about the four C's, and I also learned that buying diamonds from a retail store is not a good investment. So, I then turned to the internet and discovered Diamonds-USA. Although we were hesitant about calling them after Viorel and I spotted our "dream diamond," we bookmarked the site and visited our dream daily. Since Christmas was approaching and Viorel wanted to propose to me in front of my family (he wanted to let my family know how much he loved me so they would welcome him into the family with opened arms), I told him I would call Diamonds-USA on his behalf. (His English is coming along, but he still is not comfortable "talking business" in English over the phone.)

Calling Diamonds-USA was one of the best buying experiences I have had in a long time. I spoke to Joseph, a gentleman who is responsible for renewing my faith in the goodness of human nature. Despite all the financial obstacles Viorel and I encountered on this side of the ocean with our financial institution, Joseph, a college student from Israel, worked late nights to find a way so that Viorel could propose to me in front of my family on Christmas Eve. Although Joseph is Jewish, Joseph told me, "I want you and your fiance to have a special Christmas. I understand the importance of holidays, and I want your dream to come true." After working with us, the financial insitution, the master jeweler (about sizing the ring before the credit card was authorized), and talking with New York to express ship the diamond, Joseph made our dream a realization. Additionally, Maya and Adi were calling me on Joseph's day off to make sure I knew that the diamond left New York in an overnight package. Minutes after I received the ring, Joseph called me from overseas to make sure I had received it. He wanted to know if I liked it and if was happy...I was so happy I was crying, and that made Viorel so happy that he cried!

From this point forward, Viorel and I will only buy diamonds from Diamonds-USA. Our reasons transcend "a good deal," but for those who may happen to read who want THE BEST DEAL, I can tell you this: Our diamond was exactly what the paperwork stated it was, and we found a diamond at COSTCO (a wholesale warehouse that is cheaper than most retail stores) with the EXACT same carat weight and color, but COSTCO's diamond was one grade better in clarity (mine is VS2, so who cares!) and my diamond was ideal cut and the COSTCO diamond was not...and Viorel bought my diamond at DIAMONDS-USA for $8854.94 LESS than the COSTCO wholesale price!!!

Thank you Diamonds-USA and a special thanks to Joseph!
