As soon as I entered Blue Diamond, Sarah Poursh greeted me. What I thought would have been a 15 minute experience (since they were closing) ended up being over two hours. Sarah not... only helped me find an engagement ring, but she became an instant friend in the process and got me more excited about getting married! Judging by my experiences at the bigger jewelry chains, I thought Sarah was going to kick me out as soon as it hit 6pm. Instead she took the time to learn about my girlfriend and what she likes as well as my personality and outlook on marriage. Simultaneously I got to know a lot about her and her experiences with relationships. It was great to experience this human-to-human connection. On the sales side, she was extremely accommodating to my budget. Not once did I feel forced to buy anything or sign up for any program. ALSO! Did I mention they custom design every ring?! Through all this, we found the perfect diamond and ring. I left that place feeling great, with a renewed energy about marrying the love of my life.
The next day Sarah calls me up and says that she wants to show me another diamond I may like within my budget. So that means after we settled with a ring (Solitaire) she still went out of her way to look up and call me with another idea! How awesome! So I come in and take a look, but we both agree the original one we agreed upon was still the better one. This was towards closing time but again Sarah stayed to talk about my future fiancée and proposal ideas. I left even more amped than the day before. The experience convinced me to let go of my doubts about marriage. I entered with a materialistic outlook and left with such a celebratory feeling almost as if it was magic at work. I was ready to propose that night (but had to wait 1-2 weeks for my ring to be made).
I got the ring from Sarah on a Wednesday and proposed the next day on a Thursday. Sarah was one of the few people to know the play by play the day of. She was beyond excited for me and we’ve barely known each other for a short time. My fiancé is head over heels in love with her ring… she can’t believe how I was able to choose the exact ring that seems to have been made precisely for her (which it was, with help from Sarah!). We are planning to go back for wedding bands and drinks with our new friend! Blue Diamond is absolutely the way to go!
