My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Brad at Allan A. Goldman, Inc. I wasn’t interested in a diamond engagement ring, and we decided on a sapphire. I wanted purple, which I was told didn’t really exist. A friend recommended Brad as being a great«colored stone guy» so we looked him up and I’m very glad we did! My fiancé emailed Brad and told him exactly what we were looking for. Brad had us send in a few examples of settings and colors of stone we liked, and then he found a great assortment of purple sapphires for us to come and see. Once we’d picked a stone, Brad sent us an assortment of photos of sample settings. Fiancé made the final selections and was told the ring would take two weeks. Brad was very patient, helpful, and easy to work with. We felt we were being dealt with fairly and honestly. The ring was finished on schedule. The ring is more beautiful than the one I had in my mind. The sapphire is a bright, sparkly and unique purple hue, and the setting is meticulously detailed. We are both really happy, and highly recommend calling Brad Goldman.
