This is a much different experience than you get at a typical jewelry store. John doesn’t really have rings on display. Instead, he shows you the diamonds, which you will choose when you design the ring with him. I was initially a little hesitant, but doing it this way ensures that you get the most bang for your buck. And I’m serious when I say that. I’m the type of person that does a lot of research when making a big purchase, and this was no different. John will be the first to tell you that he charges much less than the other stores in town, and while I trusted him after a couple of meetings, I wanted to see for myself. He was not kidding. I couldn’t find a single store that could offer me anywhere near the quality of stone for my budget that John could. So obviously I went with Anthony Alexander. Yesterday I proposed, and she said yes. She and everybody we’ve been with are blown away by the ring. It is absolutely beautiful.
