5 /5 Jonathan Hannel: I had been looking at engagement rings for a long time, and a friend suggested that I check out Anthony Alexander. Right off the bat, it was much different than the stores I had gone into with countless rings on display. John doesnt keep rings on display; instead, he shows you diamonds that you will choose to put in a custom made ring. I initially had reservations about considering buying something that I could not first look at and hold, but after meeting with John the first time, I started to consider it. He really took a lot of time to educate me on diamonds, and the more I learned, the easier it was for me to see that he was going to get me the best quality for my budget. And quality is the key here, not just the size of the stone. I had initially gone into my search focused on size, but after seeing my girlfriend comment more on the sparkle of friends rings, I had to make sure that I not only got a big diamond, but a very high quality stone. Thats what John really helped me out with.
And I wont lie, when I initially saw what John could get me for my budget, I again went to other stores to see how they could compare. At each store, it wasnt even close, so I went back to John, chose a stone, and designed the ring.
Last night, I proposed, and she said yes. The ring is beautiful, and she has not stopped gushing about it. She keeps telling me that she never imagined that I would get her such a nice ring, and frankly I hadnt either. I cannot thank John enough, which is why I wanted to post this review. Hopefully people will see this and make the same decision that I did. Thanks, John!
