Not being from the area and attempting to chose a jeweler is very intimidating. Unless you are looking for a chain store inside of a mall it's very important to pick a jeweler that is honest, listens to you and one that makes you feel comfortable; we found all of those things at Facet Jewelers.
We had probably been to about 2-3 other places within a 30 miles radius before walking into this beautiful, clean and friendly environment. We were greeted by Jill (who by the way is the sweetest person ever) and she helped talk to us a little about what they had and what they could do for us. Once she knew we were shopping for an engagement ring that we wanted to be a little more customized, she introduced us to Richard the owner.
This is when we knew that we had found the jewelry store for us! He was so knowledgeable and it didn't feel like we were speaking to someone that just wanted to make a buck off of us. He talked to us about options (what we liked, what we didn't, what would help to keep cost down, etc.) and told us he would get back to us in a few days.
Richard called us 2 days later to let us know he found some diamonds he wanted us to check out so we came in again. He truly listened to us and it made the process so enjoyable. Between us viewing the wax model Richard designed for us and choosing just the right diamonds, we probably had 5 appointments in total. Each one was more exciting then the other and we joked about the fact that we loved going in talk to Richard.....about all different topics, not even the ring!
In the end he designed the most amazing ring.....better than we imagined it to be!
Did I say, "In the end..."? Sorry I meant the end of that adventure but I can promise you that we will continue to go to Facet Jewelers and recommend this place for as long as he stays around!
Thank you Richard and team for making this experience so much more memorable than we expected. :) read more
