 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience was great thanks to Norrin. He was exceptional. We were about to walk out because one of the front desk employees told us no, but he came after us, took the time to help, and made everything work out. He went above and beyond, and we truly appreciate his assistance. He is the best!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was definitely a pleasure working with Myah. I really hesitated to do this for someone else much less her 60th Wedding Anniversary. You know different taste or dissatisfaction about something, but thanks to Myah, everything worked out perfectly. And I know my sister so well. There was a great selection of bands with quality diamonds. Myah was so helpful in allowing me to take pictures for her. She and her husband live in Walterboro, SC. So it was very important for her to see the selection and make a decision. She is thrilled with the selection and looks forward to wearing it. It truly is a stunning ring! She has been wanting this type of ring for sometime so she decided their 60th was the appropriate time as it is known as the Diamond Anniversary. Myah, thank you so much for your help and patience. You are a Gem!!!
