I was going to give my granddaughter cash for graduation, even though cash gifts are basically against my [gift-giving] religion. The ultimate impersonal gift. Then I had an amazing idea! She's a tennis player, and I love tennis bracelets, so here is an ideal gift for her. But then I shopped. I am not rich. Diamonds are expensive. Somehow, luckily, the lesser gifts guides (lower-case gods) directed me to Angelucci Jewelry. I read a few reviews, but all I could gather was Pasquale this, Pasquale that. I wanted to hear stories about the quality of the obviously high end costume jewelry, a Debutante Tennis 7,inch bracelet that I was considering. In this review, I cannot look into the future to tell you what to expect if the piece is worn every day, but I can tell you that you will know that it will bring much pleasure as long as it does last. I hated to confess that it was not 14k gold, though it looks like it and matches the 14k ring on her finger. And that the stones are not natural diamonds, though they are most glorious imposters. Olivia the graduate was in awe of the glamour. Tia Suzi, my older daughter, turned to her husband and said, That's what I want! She doesn't typically remove the jewelry that he buys her, so maybe the knock-off isn't for her - again, I don't know what to expect. But until their budget has room for a purchase 40X-50X the cost of this beauty, or more, since diamonds have different grades that raise costs, she might decide to opt for this and maybe choose to wear it less than 24/7. I could go on and on about glam, but instead I'll simply reiterate the general consensus about Pasquale...he himself is a jewel. His customer service goes beyond excellence. I want to tell everyone that he is my Italian friend, but I've never met him and, with me in Saint Louis and he in Los Angeles, it's not likely. Key word: Enjoy! Visit Angetucci Jewelry.com, meet Pasquale, claim a new friend, enjoy the sparkle in your...
   Read moreMy first experience with Angelucci was very good. Pasquale delivered a custom made engagement ring that my girlfriend-now-wife absolutely loved. There was some minor miscommunication on the price so I paid more than I expected but overall it was a good deal.
We decided to go with Angelucci for our wedding bands and the experience was absolutely awful. We had been promised bands in the month of August but did not receive them until March, One Week Before Our Wedding!! Luckily my wife and I had planned so far ahead or else we would have been ringless for our own wedding. During our experience we also felt like our time was not valued. We had scheduled an in person meeting and drove an hour and a half to get to Pasquale's office only for him to tell us that he had nothing to show us. He could have called to inform us or even rescheduled the meeting but he was inconsiderate of our time. All in all we experienced many empty promises, very flaky communication, and there were many instances where it felt like we were working with someone very inexperienced.
It's a shame that something that started off well had to end so poorly. We will not be...
   Read moreMy future in-laws have been going to Angelucci Jewelry for more than two decades and they were very enthusiastic to recommend the founders’ son, Pasquale. He is running the company now. Fortunately for all, Pasquale is not about rushing what could be a one-time transaction. He patiently and reliably guides you through the selection and creative process, providing detailed answers to your questions and answering questions you did not realize you had. Before long, you realize that he is a building a solid and trustworthy professional relationship with you. My now fiance and I were already considering an engagement ring design she loved. Pasquale evaluated our choice with great thoroughness and creativity, and this gave me the confidence to make the final decision. He not only had the ability to replicate what we loved about the original design, he recommended several unique improvements and produced them! My fiancé is in love with her ring and our friends are so impressed with the design that I started referring them to Pasquale and the Angelucci Jewelry website. We are pleased to report that Pasquale is now our...
