I had been looking at engagement rings for a long time, and a friend suggested that I check out Anthony Alexander. Right off the bat, it was much different than the stores I had gone into with countless rings on display. John doesn't keep rings on display; instead, he shows you diamonds that you will choose to put in a custom made ring. I initially had reservations about considering buying something that I could not first look at and hold, but after meeting with John the first time, I started to consider it. He really took a lot of time to educate me on diamonds, and the more I learned, the easier it was for me to see that he was going to get me the best quality for my budget. And quality is the key here, not just the size of the stone. I had initially gone into my search focused on size, but after seeing my girlfriend comment more on the sparkle of friends rings, I had to make sure that I not only got a big diamond, but a very high quality stone. That's what John really helped me out with.
And I won't lie, when I initially saw what John could get me for my budget, I again went to other stores to see how they could compare. At each store, it wasn't even close, so I went back to John, chose a stone, and designed the ring.
Last night, I proposed, and she said yes. The ring is beautiful, and she has not stopped gushing about it. She keeps telling me that she never imagined that I would get her such a nice ring, and frankly I hadn't either. I cannot thank John enough, which is why I wanted to post this review. Hopefully people will see this and make the same decision that I did. ...
Read moreYou're wasting your time if you go anywhere else!! After a not so wonderful experience at a reputable box store jeweler in town, my now husband and I stopped over to see John at Anthony Alexander. He was able to go above and beyond anything the other store could do, everything was custom made for me, and it was a FRACTION of what anywhere else would have charged for something similar. I think the longest I waited for any of my pieces to come in was 10 days, and everything was communicated with me each step of the way. I get so many compliments on my wedding set, and I wouldn't refer people anywhere else. John and Drew are awesome and I will never go anywhere else for my jewelry purchases...
Read moreGot my engagement ring from John. He was excellent to work with. We had an idea of what we wanted, he worked individually with us, brought in diamonds to look at, and in the end created a no pressure environment to buy the Diamond and ring. Best of all, the price was right. I will absolutely come back to John for my future jewelry needs....
