Imagine my surprise when Gem Design told me they could have it finished in 2 hours!!! Only a couple days before Christmas AND on a very delicate ring with multiple diamonds. True to their word, I received a call as soon as it was done only 1.5 hours after I dropped it off. The customer service experience was also wonderful. Extremely friendly staff (including an adorable Newfoundland lazing about behind the counter, ready for a friendly scratch on the head). I highly recommend this jeweler for purchases and repairs.

Hands down the best place for purchasing an engagement ring in WNY. I proposed to my fiancé on…read morevacation earlier this spring and we had discussed the ring selection process. She is an artist and wanted to be involved in developing/designing the ring instead of simply picking something out of a display case. We found Brian Michaels Jewelers based on the positive online reviews. After sharing our ideas with the sales associate, she reached out to the owner for a consultation and before I knew it, my fiancé was deeply engaged in a conversation with the owner about every facet of her design concept. We were impressed by the level of engagement and customization available and I was impressed with the affordability. In a few days we were looking at a 3D model of that very ring and in a few weeks my Fiancé was wearing her dream. We were both ecstatic with the ring and interaction with the staff. For me it made what would otherwise be a stressful and awkward process, a delight that we will both cherish for the rest of our lives.

Before placing the order, I requested that the ring be sized down a 1/2 size - and Paul didn't hesitate to offer this service. The ring fits perfectly, is very high quality and appraised slightly above what I paid for it - so, Aurum's pricing is very fair and reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another piece from Paul and his team.
