Unless you'd like poor customer service and frankly, bad products with diamonds falling out of your…read morering, I'd avoid Iowa Diamond like the plague. This review is a long time coming - I finally had the time to sit out and write our poor experience with them over the last decade. It started in 2011 when we lived in Des Moines and together picked out a few settings/diamonds we liked. We were engaged in June 2012 and less than a month after wearing the ring on my finger, the first diamond fell out. We should have known then that this would be a long road of fighting Iowa Diamond for them to do the right thing. They replaced the ring setting right away - using my original diamonds but having the manufacturer create a new version of the setting we purchased. But that product or customer service didn't last long. Soon, months later, another diamond fell out. We took it in and they replaced the diamond. However, over the last nine years, I have had diamonds fall out SIX different times - four of which took place in a four-month period. Let it be known that I don't shower with my ring, sleep with my ring, swim or work out with my ring. I wear it during the day (I work in an office) and that is it. Each time a diamond has fallen out, I have paid for them to get replaced out of my own pocket (approx. $90-$110 each time), but in 2020, I had enough and went to Gina (VP) to ask her to make it right. Sadly, Iowa Diamond did not do the right thing. The only option they gave us was to pay $800+ to have a new setting created by the manufacturer. After much deliberation, we took the option because we thought that was all we had to work with. I'm aware that the setting of my ring is pave, and that Iowa Diamond claims it "may be more prone to losing diamonds," but I have two main issues with that being used as an excuse. The first, is that when we met with our sales person, Pam Storey, she never once mentioned that would be something to be mindful of. In fact, the majority of the rings she showed us had that style. Secondly, my wedding band is also pave style (but from a different jeweler) - and I have NEVER had an issue with that ring, and I've had it for eight years. I cannot and will not do this every eight years. It's not reasonable for us - I have zero friends or family members who have EVER had to have their diamonds replaced let alone the entire setting itself. So beware before you purchase from Iowa Diamond. Because even if you do have a problem with them, they will not make it right and you'll be paying for your ring over and over and over again.

The 3rd watch had a broken link band, plus the inter-workings needed repaired, it was out of our budget range, so my husband told them to throw it on the bone pile. Today my husband got a nice call saying the watch we left behind and did not repair, WAS repaired and keeping good time! When my husband arrived today to pick up the 3rd watch and he was so pleased to see it looking like new; PLUS they took out a link to fit our Grandson's wrist and had repaired the linked band that was originally broken to boot! What a great surprise and now we will be surprising our Grandson with the watch! We were only charged the cost of the new battery! Thank you so much!
