rivilege of meeting Karen when I got engaged and my future mother-in-law suggested I go see Karen to have my ring sized. My engagement ring is a family air loom that has been in the family for over 130 years. We wanted to make sure that we could trust the people and work ethic of the company that was going to work on this ring to make sure and maintain the integrity of the ring. They definitely did this and even made a slight design to the band that went along with the style of the ring. It turned out beautiful and I constantly get compliments on the ring. When it came time to get our wedding bands there was no other place we would want to go than back to Allen Jewelers. They again took the time to listen and suggest different styles to us. We ultimately walked away completely satisfied and will continue to come back to Allen Jewelers for our jewelry shopping.... can't wait.

diamond process. During that time, she was very open and flexible to different ideas for the ring. During this time, I felt that she was more than happy to accommodate any of the different ideas I was thinking about. During the next step of the process, Karen then helped me to compare several different diamonds that fit my needs. Her insight was fantastic, and really helped me find the stone I ultimately selected. She suggested that I look at each stone under different kinds of lights, as this strongly impacts the stones’ radiance. She was absolutely right! She also showed me the stones under the microscope, and helped teach me the characteristics that define each stone. Being able to compare each stone was crucial to selecting the diamond I chose. When I proposed and showed my fiancé the ring, she was blown away! But the ring is stunning because Karen worked with me, and listened to my ideas the entire time. Again, it was a pleasure to work with Allen Jewelers.

with a wealth of knowledge on diamonds and gemstones. We were looking for a colored gemstone for the engagement ring and she had a fabulous variety of stones to offer! It was fun to learn about the different stones and the hardness "factor" of each as this is a lifelong investment and with daily use, needed to be a hard stone - like a diamond. We couldn't be more pleased - 6 years later - with our selections and I receive many many compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of my engagement ring. There was a wide range of styles and shapes and cuts to choose from and Karen skillfully helped us find a unique piece that was fitting to our personality and individuality! Now I purchase all of my fine jewelry at Allen's Jewelers - be it for personal use or for a special gift (graduation, Mother's Day, birthday, etc.) !!

my husband and I first met Karen through a referral, we had no idea what we were doing or what we wanted. Karen sat down with us and took the time to educate us on diamond buying and answer all of our questions. She showed us many different rings to help guide us to the styles we liked. She spent the time to get to know us, and it was never rushed. After we narrowed down the general style together, my husband and Karen worked together to create the perfect ring. I could not have been more thrilled on the day he proposed with a gorgeous asscher cut diamond solitaire and custom setting.Months later, Karen also helped us find the perfect wedding bands to complete the set. Then, about two weeks before our wedding date, my engagement ring was stolen. I was absolutely devastated. I could barely speak when I left a message for Karen explaining what happened. She immediately sprung to action getting in touch with all of her contacts to find another diamond, and create the custom setting. By the time the insurance company came through, she already had the new ring ready to go, and it was on my finger before we left for the wedding. Karen was my saving grace!! If you want an honest and personal experience from a knowledgeable certified gemologist with high quality selection, Allen's Jewelers is the best in Charlotte. We send all of our friends to Karen.

that my husband loved even though she was in the middle of other things. She even sent us ideas and worked with vendors to find rings for us. We went to Diamond's Direct and other places, but didn't find what we were looking for. Allen's Jewelers provided such a customized experience and were able to make our vision of a ring come to life. I highly recommend using them and supporting a small local business.
