I am not someone that is excited about shopping for jewelry... and I was definitely feeling anxious about shopping for an engagement ring. Marcus made the experience SO much better. He's just a good human being. You get a really good feeling from him, and everything you experience really reinforces that good feeling. He is an honest person, who cares about people, and his customers.
Another thought: I was a little worried about going to a small business jeweler rather than a bigger shop. I felt a little intimidated to understand exactly how ring shopping works, and what all the letters mean when it comes to diamonds. Marcus was SO PATIENT with all of my questions.

Read moreMy family has been buying jewelry from Marcus at 66 Mint for a very long time now, and I cannot speak higher about my most recent experience selecting an engagement ring for my now-fiancee.

I cannot recommend this business higher, and will undoubtedly be returning for future jewelry needs. Thank...

I am a very nervous buyer and since this was a significant purchase of an item that I could not hold or examine in person, I was even more anxious. I asked many questions which were all promptly answered via text. I had been searching the internet for months and had visited some local jewelers. One jewelry chain even had rubies of similar size sent in so that I could build my own ring but they were very poor quality (heavily included and dark in color) and the cost of just a single loose ruby was more than the price of the ruby and diamond ring that I purchased. My ring is gorgeous! I will absolutely shop...
