My husband bought my engagement ring from DeScenza Diamonds - Hingham and we cannot recommend them enough. The ring was gorgeous so we knew we had to go back to buy our wedding bands. The woman who helped us was so kind and knowledgable. She helped us pick out a band that matched my engagement ring perfectly and very quickly found one for my husband that he loved. Thank you to the entire DeScenza team!
Devin and I recently got engaged over the weekend and I just have to say, my ring is absolutely stunning. We both want to thank DeScenza Diamonds for their immaculate attention to detail, their beautiful diamonds, and for custom designing a ring that truly takes your breath away. I have only had it on for 5 days and the amount of compliments I have received is just incredible!!! We are so thankful and so happy. Thank you for being a part of our special day. A big and very special thank you to Mike at the Peabody location for helping Devin create this masterpiece :)
I bought my fiancée ring at DeScenza Dimonds - Hingham. I definitely had a great experience. Their diamond sales specialists are super knowledgeable and accommodating (I was helped by Donna). Their products are top of the line. Thank you so much for everything.
My fiancé bought my engagement ring from DeScenza after we met 4 separate couples who had all gotten their rings from DeScenza and had wonderful experiences, not to mention beautiful rings! The engagement ring my fiancé purchased is beyond my wildest dreams and is absolutely stunning! After our engagement my fiancé told me about his customer service experience and how wonderful it was. We are truly looking forward to going back and getting our wedding bands from DeScenza Diamonds in the near future!
My fiancé bought my engagement ring from DeScenza. He customized the ring and it is absolutely gorgeous! He was very pleased with the quality and the customer service he received from Michael at the Peabody location!
My experience was at the Framingham location. First off, the store is beautiful, and I worked with Caroline to find an engagement ring. Overall it was a GREAT experience. Caroline gave me a "quick tutorial" on picking loose diamonds and what to look for, that I really appreciated (and she loved that I wanted to look at loose stones and not just a ring). I ended up with three beautiful diamonds with varying specs that fit my budget, and I know that I made the right choice. I also really appreciated that there was no "sales pitch" from Caroline to buy a diamond with "certain standards" and no pressure. Just had to find the right diamond for me with expert help. Oh and of course the price was GREAT for the quality of GIA diamonds (and I went to many stores at the Jewelry Exchange Building in Boston). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I had a great experience working with Hugh MacIsaac Jr. He gave me a phenomenal diamond lesson and made me feel comfortable and kept me within my budget. My fiancé loves her ring and we couldn’t be any happier! I will recommend DeScenzas to all my friends.
Joanna and her team at DeScenza Peabody were amazing! Not only did they follow all COVID precautions to keep us safe but they worked with us long distance. We had a tight timeline from when we went to see diamonds until the proposal (only 2 weeks!) and the team had a selection of diamonds in our budget and desired cut/color/clarity in stock and ready to go. I went in person to see the diamonds for my sisters fiance and we facetimed him in. The manager was open and honest about pricing, timing, etc. from start to finish. I was VERY picky about the setting for the stone so they printed out pictures of what I showed them so that they could custom make exactly what I knew my sister would love. I even had them measure the width of my ring because I knew that was what she wanted and they took notes on everything I was saying. Like I said, I was really picky. We spent about 2 hours discussing and didn't feel rushed at all. The ring is perfect! We couldn't have done it with Joanna.
DeScenza Diamonds in Peabody were amazing to work with! They were able to help my fiancé pick out an engagement ring virtually from Pennsylvania with my sisters in the store to help. They could not have been more accommodating, kind, or flexible. We will definitely be using them for our wedding bands when the time comes. The ring is absolutely STUNNING and I would recommend DeScenza to all of my friends!
The staff at DeScenza are amazing!!! They a warm, informative and very friendly. From the beginning Christine Mahan was helpful through the whole process of choosing the right diamond and setting for perfect engagement ring. After my fiancé proposed we went back and I got meet Chris in person and I can see why my fiancé chose DeScenza for my ring. We are going back for our wedding bands. So happy they are a part of the most happiest time of our lives!!!
Thank you so much!!
Dawn & Michael
Went through Paul and he was able to bring me up to speed on what to look for in the diamond and he helped me pick out the perfect stone and setting! I needed the ring very quickly actually as my plans to propose didn’t leave me much time. He got it all set up, and sent it overnight to New Jersey and it arrived the day I needed to propose. He pulled off the impossible for me and everything went flawlessly with the proposal. All thanks to everyone at DeScenza’s. I couldn’t imagine going through any other jeweler for my big day! I truly can’t thank them enough!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! DeScenza Diamonds is the absolute BEST and our TOP pick for everything that sparkles! I LOST MY ENGAGEMENT RING, and DeScenza made the entire process of finding the perfect replacement so easy! Paul was SO helpful and knowledgeable - he explained everything to us along the way, and was patient with me while we worked together to find the perfect stone! We couldn't have had a better experience anywhere else! Whether its diamonds or the latest trend in LOLA necklaces, we ALWAYS go to DeScenza to find the very best. (If you're looking for the perfect LOLA necklace, or something else that sparkles, ask for Joanna! She always helps my mom and I pick out the perfect pieces).
We love DeScenza, especially the Framingham team. They were always so welcoming and helpful every time we went in. It was never about being sold something, it was about how the pieces made us feel, and the excitement on our faces when we found the right piece. Even in our wedding pictures, I love how all of our DeSenza pieces pop in a subtle and classic way.
The whole team went above and beyond, especially when it came to sizing my husbands watch the morning of our wedding, at the Hingham location. Thank you for everything!
Working with DeScenza was an easy and fun experience. Joanna and Paul were incredibly helpful and worked closely with me to pick out the perfect ring for my fiance. The ring is beautiful, and the service was amazing. I would recommend DeScenza to anyone ring shopping.
DeScenza Diamonds is the only place to shop for jewelry. You will find no better diamond and engagement ring selection anywhere else. The customer service is amazing. We worked with Joanna. She is extremely knowledgeable and spent hours answering all our questions while showing us various stones, styles and design options. Best of all, she was fun to work with and made the entire process a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.
You can’t find a better experience than at DeScenza when shopping for an engagement ring. Mike M sat down with me and explained how the whole process works and helped me to figure out the exact center stone and ring I knew would be best for my girl! Huge success. Always so professional, timely and knowledgeable. If DeScenza is your first stop, it’s your last. I poked around a little before going to DeScenza and seeing Mike just to familiarize myself, but nothing compared to working with Mike and we got the ball rolling immediately during my first visit. Highly recommend!!!
When my now husband(!!) got my ring from DeScenza I knew we would have a jewelry store for life. The staff is ALWAYS so friendly and inviting when we go in. They are happy to clean up your ring while you browse, and answer any question you have. We ended up buying our wedding bands and my husbands watch here for the wedding. We will be back again soon!
My fiancé got a custom ring from the Framingham location and it’s absolutely stunning. So friendly and helpful 10 out of 10 would recommend!
My fiancé had a wonderful experience with Descenza, and I am in LOVE with my ring. He went to the same location his father bought his mother’s ring from, and they still had the slip! The experience was so personable- they really take their time in finding out who their clients are and what they are looking for in a diamond. We recommend Descenza to anyone.
We had a great experience getting our rings here, thank you!
I went to DeScenzas for my fiancé’s engagement ring and now our wedding bands. Mike is the absolute best and made the process seamless and enjoyable. He brings a combination of knowledge, professionalism, and approachability. There’s zero pressure and the whole experience is super casual. I cannot recommend him and DeScenzas enough. We are very happy with everything.
We had a great experience in the DeScenza Boston store. As soon as you walked in you were greeted with a friendly hello. My husband purchased my diamond ring and wedding bands from the Boston store and I couldn't be happier. He never felt pressured. We will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends and family!
We recently purchased my engagement ring from Robin Leonard in the Peabody location. She was extremely helpful. She insisted that we take our time and look at everything, so that we picked the right ring for us. Robin was not only very knowledgeable, but put us at ease by answering all our questions and she made the entire process a pleasurable one. My fiance hoped to get my ring delivered by Christmas and Robin made it happen. We're looking forward to choosing our wedding bands with her in the spring.
My Fiancé and I had the most amazing experience with DeScenza’s in Hingham. My ring originally came from a Kay Jewelers. Where they ruined the ring after I brought it in because the center stone fell out. After an awful experience with them, we went HIGHLY recommended by friends who have used DeScenza for years. Our sales woman, Donna, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was SO knowledgeable and so attentive. It was so refreshing to go to a store with such amazing customer service. I don’t think I could ever go elsewhere for any jewelry. Not only did I leave the store extremely happy knowing I’m getting a gorgeous ring made, but I also left with a new knowledge about diamonds! DeScenza’s is definitely the place to go!! I am beyond appreciative.
My boyfriend and I worked with Michelle this past December . We have been dating for 16 years and decided to get engaged . Michelle was wonderful she helped us pick out a beautiful diamond band . She was attentive and engaging. It was a wonderful experience .
My ring arrived 2 days before Christmas and it’s absolutely gorgeous. ! Thank you Michelle and we will see you soon .
Great jewelry and personal shopping experience! We worked with Michelle in the Peabody store and couldn't be happier. Her knowledge of diamonds made us feel totally comfortable when we were looking to upgrade our original diamond for our anniversary. Cant recommend them more highly!
Had a great experience working with Paul at the Peabody location. I felt very comfortable and the diamond lesson was awesome!
It was my 17 wedding anniversary and wanted my engagement ring and wedding band fixed. I went into the Peabody location and spoke with Joanna, who helped redesign them and I couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend them! Thanks Joanna and the Peabody Descenza's team!
I cannot recommend and thank Stephanie at Descenza in Peabody enough!! My husband bought my engagement ring at a place close to home- which I love! - but their wedding bands weren't what I was looking for. I went to Descenzas and right from the start Stephanie and the entire staff was welcoming, friendly, professional and patient! I had a ton of questions, and even called a few times, and Stephanie was always so kind and took the time to make sure I absolutely loved my ring! They are so knowledgable and will truly take the time to work with you! Thank you again!! :)
When my husband and I married we did it like everything else we do; went straight from decision to action. DeScenza in Peabody was amazing - they got us rings we loved in a matter of days. Over the years I found myself wishing I had made one little change to my wedding band but my mom would say, “it won’t make you happier” and I was happy so I let it go. I recently had cancer and the husband I thought I knew turned out to be even more awesome! The day before I headed into surgery I stopped by DeScenza in Peabody and explained the change I wanted made to my wedding band. I wanted my ring to be as perfect as I felt about my husband and the rightness of our crazy fast decision to marry. The sales woman was lovely! She assured me that people make changes to celebrate anniversaries or other special occasions (or just because they want to!). I hadn’t told her my reason but she treated me as they do all their customers – she recognized this ring was very important. They did a beautiful job with the ring and my mom was wrong this time – I am even happier.
My fiancée and I had the best experience working with DeScenza in Framingham! Catherine was beyond helpful and so knowledgeable. She really took the time to get to know us and we never felt rushed. She made us feel like she was just as determined to find the perfect diamonds as we were. The entire process was so special for both of us, and that was clearly attributed to DeScenza and their staff.
I had THE most amazing experience at DeScenza Diamonds in Hingham MA with Donna. In November my then boyfriend and I went to DeScenza to look at engagement rings.
Donna was the sales associate who assisted us that day. She couldn't have been more helpful. She educated us on the diamonds, was very informative, so friendly and took the time to show us so many rings.
A month later I received the engagement ring of my dreams. The ring could not have been more perfect. My fiancé informed me Donna was the one who assisted him in picking out THE MOST BEAUTIFUL engagement ring.
Thank you DeScenza and Donna!

My husband to be got my engagement ring from the Quincy location and I could not be happier with how it came out! He worked with Leslie Wentworth and spoke very highly of her helpfulness and expertise.
We got our engagement rings from this jeweler and plan on getting our wedding rings as we absolutely love their designs. So many beautiful jewelry to choose from and great quality. The customer service is great too. We recommend this jewelry.
My 15th wedding anniversary was coming up and I thought I would start looking without my husband. I went into DeScenza's Peabody and started to look. I noticed a ring I liked and as it turned out the sales person Stephanie had the same ring on. I was unsure and wanted to keep looking at others. At this time a few other sales ladies came over and was offering advice and making me feel like a princess playing dress up. It was great. I did go back one other time just to make sure it was the one I wanted and to take a photo so my husband would know the right one. He did go back alone and when he pulled out the photo Joanna quickly told the other ladies "She is getting her ring" He said it was funny they remembered me and were genuine in their excitement. I have now been back several times to purchase birthday and holiday gifts for friends and family. It is my go to place to find a gift without breaking the bank.
Knowing I was not making a purchase the day of my first visit and never made to feel less important was a great feeling.
My husband and I are customers of Descenza Diamonds in Peabody and I just wanted to write to say how pleased we both are with the wonderful people who work there. We do all of our business with Michelle Roberts and I can not say enough great things about her. She always has a smile on her face and is very welcoming every time we see her. She goes above and beyond to help us find whatever it is that we may be looking for and is extremely professional. We have purchased many pieces of jewelry from DeScenza and Michelle always makes it a fun experience and makes us feel excited to do so like it was our first time every time. When something needs repairs or cleaning or whatever the case may be she makes sure we have our jewelry back very quickly. I could go on and on about how wonderful Michelle is and I highly recommend DeScenza Diamonds and Michelle Roberts. One other person that I would also like to mention is Joanna Surette. Joanna is always happy and bubbly and makes your experience at DeScenza enjoyable. After you first meet her you feel as though she has been a long time
friend. She’s also very professional and accommodating. Two lovely wonderful women that I am happy to have met.
DeScenza Diamonds in Peabody Ma was simply amazing in helping my husband and I get our wedding bands and eventually a new engagement ring. My husband had initially purchased my engagement ring at another jewelry store but we had nothing but issues with the ring including a major break in the band. When that jewelry store would not help us we turned to DeScenza Diamonds for help. They could not have been more generous, helpful and supportive, giving us special attention and helping my husband and I find another band. The situation with the original ring was so disappointing and stressful and DeScenza Diamonds took all that negativity away. My new engagement ring and our wedding bands are perfect. I would recommend anyone to DeScenza's if you are looking for quality diamonds and impeccable service.
As mother of the bride and long time DeScenza customer, we suggested our son in law to be head into DeScenza Boston to meet with Tyler DeScenza. He had a great experience, feeling totally at ease with the diamond education he received, as well las the beautiful FOrevermark diamond that our daughter loves! Couldnt be happier that yet another generation of our family will be with DeScenza from this day forward!
Fantastic experience. Michael Molloy made everything fun, smooth and easy. Excellent at explaining the process and the art of selecting a diamond. I couldn't be happier.
Neil Jr was extremely helpful while I was searching for the right diamond. He was very informative and patient when I asked contious questions regarding the diamonds quality. When I decided to keep shopping other vendors he was not pushy and didn't not try to rush me. This was a big purchase and I wanted to be certain I was choosing the right stone. One thing I can say is that choosing the right team and specialist should also be just as big of a decision. Thank you for the beautiful emerald cut ring you helped me put together. I'm happy to say she absolutely loves it.
My family has been lifelong customers of DeScenzas, so when my husband proposed he was able to work with the jeweler my grandfather has worked with, Ascha. Not knowing much about the process, he felt at ease and comfortable with Ascha, who took her time to explain the basics of diamonds, settings and create the most beautiful ring I could have imagined. My ring was sized at a 7 because my husband didn't want to tip me off, so when I needed to go down almost 2 sizes, I was worried I would have to wait for it for a few days. We were so excited and surprised to learn that it would only take about an hour to be resized at the store, and we were able to get on with our day and share the exciting news with our family and friends immediately because of them!
We also went with DeScenzas for our wedding bands, and I was able to custom design a band to match and sit flush against my engagement ring. Our rings were created beautifully with attention to every detail, packaged thoughtfully and delivered discretely. We are now lifetime members of DeSecenzas, and will happily use them again for all of our celebrations to come!
I recently visited the Peabody location for their wedding and event and couldn't have been any more pleased with the service I received. I went in without a clue as to where to begin and in no time I was able to make a decision. My time wasn't wasted and Karen knew exactly what to show me. Other employees interacted with my family and I and offered their assistance. It was a very pleasant and stress-free experience we had and would definitely recommend anyone to go there!
I went to Descenza in Peabody for the first time today after hearing out their two-day sale event at a wedding expo back in January. With the help of Stephanie, I purchased my wedding band! She cleaned my engagement ring, gave my fiance and I wonderful advice, and was overall wonderful to work with. I feel I got a very fair price and had a great overall experience! I highly recommend going to Descenza!
The first and only person you need when buying an engagement ring is Mike at Descenza in Peabody. He made the whole experience of buying a diamond much easier, from the education of what you need to know about buying a diamond, all the way to when you find just what your looking for. He went above and beyond and wanted nothing but for me to be in love with the ring I purchased. It doesn't even stop there , he said I can come in anytime to have the ring cleaned or checked and stands behind his product 100%. Everyone that has seen the ring is in awe of how beautiful it is and how much fire and sparkle the ring has. Thank you very much for everything Mike.

I came into DeScenza diamonds with a specific budget for an engagement ring. Hugh was awesome. Stayed within my budget. Educated me on diamonds. I came out with a great ring. She said yes! We'll be back for our bands.
DeScenza Diamonds is the the only place I will ever go for quality, timeless pieces. Literally all of the jewelry I wear is from this store. And if they don't have something in one store, they can curry it over from another one of their locations so you'll always feel serviced and get what you need. Besides having their own inventory, they can also custom order any piece with their talented jeweler. I found diamond expert Michael Molloy out of the Peabody store to be extremely helpful during my engagement process. He took the time to explain diamonds to me and I never felt pressured by him. He has excellent taste and always offers me the latest styles and classic pieces which is why I keep coming back again and again. I recommend DeScenza to all of my family and friends and no one has ever been disappointed- they are simply the best!
I was absolutely gobsmacked when my husband surprised me with an anniversary band. I am so thankful for the expert guidance he received from Robin Leonard. My platinum eternity band was sized perfectly and I am constantly looking down at my hand because of the gorgeous sparkle ✨
Descenza's is the best! Their selection of jewelry and customer service is amazing!!
I am from Massachusetts originally, but moved to California ten years ago. After visiting several jewelry stores in L.A., I decided I wanted to get an engagement ring from a local store back home. My mom helped me coordinate Facetime calls with Lauren at DeScenza and I knew immediately this was the right place. Lauren was able to take my ideas and feedback and put together the exact ring I was looking for. She very quickly understood my vision and I can't say enough about the level of customer service I received. I can't wait to work with Lauren at the Framingham store on our wedding bands later this year. The fact that the ring came from my home and has a little touch of Boston makes it mean that much more to me. From, Lindsey my new fiance: "I love my engagement ring, it's so beautiful and just what I wanted. I am so happy that DeScenza had the perfect one for me!"
I went to the Peabody location to pick out an engagement ring for my now wife. From first stepping foot into the establishment I felt comfortable and at ease. Karen helped me completely make up my mind on exactly what style and everything I would like. She showed me a few different styles and helped narrow down exactly what I was looking for. Karen showed me all the style rings that were within my budget until finally I found one that my heart fell in love with. She helped me make one of the biggest decision of my life without trying to lead me away from what I truly wanted and what I knew my wife would love. I 100% recommend anyone and everyone to DeScenza's in Peabody for their beautiful diamonds and jewelry and friendly professional staff. I can truly say that I had made the most confident decision of my life thanks to DeScenza's and I can also say they have won me over as a lifetime customer!!!
My Husband went to the Peabody location for my beautiful art carved engagement ring and told me he would only go there for the bands and any other jewelry he would ever want. We went in and I was blowm away at the amazing service that was given. The young lady never pushed anything on us or tried to change our mind from what we wanted. My husband chose a beautiful platinum wedding band for himself and we got two matching bands to my ring. Not only does the Peabody location have jewelry but they work an amazing cake company that I got my wedding cake through. I would recommend this location to everyone. Amazing jewelry, staff, and location .
I could not have received a more beautiful anniversary band if I had picked it out myself! Sharon at DeScenza Diamonds in Peabody pointed my husband to the perfect "ring with bling" as if she was going to be wearing it on her own finger! Since then I have introduced my mom to DeScenza and they have become her jewelry go to for her emerald jewelry!
I don't usually write reviews, but I thought I would write one now because of the great experience I had. Stephanie was a great help picking out wedding bands and she has told us she has been with DeScenzas for 30 years and it showed! I'll definitely come back in the future.
For our 25th anniversary last month, my husband gave me a stunning diamond and platinum band. Being the picky person I am, I wanted to help pick it out. Joanna assisted us, and she was wonderful, and quite amusing actually. We do not buy fine jewelry often, but when we do, we always go to DeScenza. We bought our engagement and wedding rings there many years ago and had such a great experience that we keep going back. They have the beautiful, high-quality jewelry I love and always provide excellent customer service, and perhaps even more importantly, the piece of mind in knowing that we will never have to overpay. I highly recommend DeScenza Diamonds, especially in Peabody.
My fiance and I picked out our wedding bands at the Peabody, MA location. The staff was very friendly and helpful as we made our decisions. I picked up the rings today and they are stunning! We are thrilled!
I stopped by the DeScenza in Peabody to see if I could find a wedding band/anniversary that would compliment my set and fit my budget. My husband and I have been married for 25 wonderful years and with twins in college there isn't much left for the extras! I hit the "sale of the century" and boy was it! I picked a beautiful 5 diamond band that is stunning! Paul MacIsaac was so kind, fun to work with and knowledgeable! They even had refreshments! I love DeScenza and their friendly, fun and informative staff! I highly recommend them.Thank you Paul.
A couple years ago we had my diamond reset at DeScenza jeweler for our 30th anniversary. I had it set in a double halo setting which needed to be custom made for my diamond and I couldn't be happier with the way it came out. We also purchased a diamond band to go with it. A few weeks ago I purchased another diamond band to go with my set during the sale at the Peabody location. Joanna & Robin were extremely helpful in helping me find the right band at the right price. The set looks gorgeous all together! The staff here is extremely helpful, knowledgable and they take the time to listen and find the perfect item you're looking for. I would never consider going anywhere else for a fine jewelry purchase.
Love love DeScenza!!! The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Love their merchandise and can't wait to see what they will have for the holidays
Descenzas is absolutely fantastic! my husband and I got our wedding bands right before we went away to get married on the beach in Maui. Every day we look down and see our beautiful rings and remember that wonderful time thank you so much!!! Beautiful
I met with Robin and Joanna to pick out an engagement ring. I was clueless to what I wanted. These two ladies were fantastic. After answering some questions about my soon to be fiancé, the perfect ring was picked out and purchased.
I never thought that picking out an engagement ring, something so important in my life, could have gone any smoother!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Robin, Joanna, and Descenza's!
Went to peobody store for engagement ring. Staff was friendly, helpful, informative. Went back to buy wedding bands and take advantage of huge discounts on two day sale. Once again staff A#1. Great great service. Pleasure to deal with. Thanx JS and everyone involved.
My fiance and I got our rings from DeScenza Diamonds - the Peabody location and we could not be happier. It was so easy and enjoyable. The staff are friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Prices are more than what we could have hoped for - you won't find a better price anywhere! Our rings are gorgeous. I highly recommend any of the DeScenza Diamonds locations!
8 years ago I said "I do" and was given the honor of wearing my mother-in-laws diamond. This diamond is particularly special because her husband (my husband's father) passed away at a very young age. This year we decided to have it reset and Descenza's was nothing short of amazing in helping us. It is beyond my wildest dreams and mother in law smiles every time she sees it. They were even able to find the perfect matching band. It's like getting married all over again but with the same love of my life:) Thank you Descenzas for an incredible experience:)
Best place to shop and buy jewelry! We had an amazing experience when shopping for wedding rings. The staff was more than helpful with suggestions and taking their time to figure out exactly what we were looking for. I would not go any where else! The Hingham location is where we went and we could not be happier with the service from Zelig and Gary!
Amazing collection and service. Love my ring so, so much!
I’ve dealt with such nonsense from them. Yelp reviews are a bit more diverse than the Knot, and are worth checking out with regards to how "effective" Descenzas is over the phone and with carrying out fairly simple tasks. To add insult to injury, my engagement ring is missing a diamond before I even get married, and they could care less about fixing it.
The real kicker: it was just checked by DeScenzas, not more than two weeks ago! I’m not even wearing it. When your co-workers notice a diamond is missing in your fairly young engagement ring, it’s an embarrassment to you, and it’s an embarrassment to the poor guy who fell for buying it. Including the bands, we’ve sunk $5,700 into DeScenzas as a couple. My fiancé purchased the engagement ring in Boston just last year, but the wedding bands are now in Framingham, and I’ve had terrible experiences at each store.
For my personal favorite, after my side-stone disappeared, I called the Framingham location at 5:30 knowing they close at 6, asking if I should stay in traffic if I knew I would be a couple minutes past 6…Cathy from Framingham said “that’s fine.” I arrived at 6:10, and they refused to help me even after I showed them my engagement ring!! I made it clear that I was told it would be ok to be a few minutes late, and I received one of those “sorry” responses where you know the person thinks it’s your fault. Which it 100% would be if I hadn’t called, but that was the EXACT reason I had! I sat in traffic for an hour each way for nothing. And I have just 1 month until my wedding... which they also know and are unsympathetic to getting it done any faster.
This is supposed to be one of the most exciting parts about getting married, and it has been nothing but a headache mixed with frustration and disappointment.
DeScenza not only helped my fiance make an amazing engagement ring, they helped us with out wedding bands. They informed us on everything, from different metals, to different diamond grades/clarities/and colors, making it an effortless and exciting shopping trip. I love my eternity band and plan on going back for another :)
I worked with Becky for an engagement ring. She was incredibly knowledgeable and spent the time to educate me about the diamond, making sure I felt very comfortable. Her professional experience was invaluable, especially because I had a custom designed setting. It came out exactly as I imagined and it was perfect! I didn't exactly make it easy for DeScenzas (I live in NJ, asked for a custom setting, and had a VERY tight deadline) but they made it all happen-- stress free! Becky was excellent when it came to communication (email, phone, etc.) and made sure the ring arrived when I needed it to. The ring was spectacular, the service top notch, and the experience unforgettable.
If you go anywhere other than DeScenza, you're making a mistake!
I bought my fiance's engagement ring from DeScenza Diamonds and I could not have asked for a better experience. I went to the Hingham, MA location and worked with Becky Kortum, who was fantastic throughout the whole process.
As I live in New York, didn't really know anything about jewellery and was often unavailable at times, I was worried that the process would be long and stressful. However Becky was patient, positive and always ready to communicate and answer any questions, which I greatly appreciated.
I was a little off with the ring size, and the band was a touch too big. Becky was able to fix this the following weekend when my fiance was back in town.
Many of my friends and colleagues found buying an engagement ring difficult, but my experience with Becky and the team at DeScenza Diamonds was the exact opposite. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for that special piece of jewellery.
I was searching for an engagement ring and had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like, I had been recommended to go to DeScenza by a friend who made a purchase here and was very happy with it. I went in to the store and I met Cristin who would be helping me. She was incredibly helpful. I was able to tell her a type of ring that I was thinking about and right away she was ready with answers, suggestions, plenty of setting types and of course diamonds. Right off the bat I let her know what my budget was and she did everything to make sure my purchase is exactly what I wanted and was in my price range. I was able to actually look at the diamond itself under a lense which from what I understand a lot of jewelry stores won't let you do. I got a crash course in diamonds and what to look for when picking one out. She was patient with me and I could tell that she cared just as much about this ring looking great as much as I did. With this experience and my buddy's experience (he didn't have Cristin but was just as thrilled with the woman that helped him) it goes to show that you can trust the people that work here. I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for any kind of meaningful jewelry. The ring came out perfect and better than what my "general idea" was when walking in there.
I just purchased an engagement ring for me soon to be fiance (hopefully!). It was a great experience! I worked with Cristin and she was extremely informative and funny! A very knowledgeable gemologist. My brother worked with Cristin on getting an engagement ring for his fiance as well, and had the same experience. I highly recommend DeScenza!
There isn't enough space to say enough nice things about Cristin O' Rourke and DeScenza. The idea of buying an engagement ring was overwhelming and stressful. Cristin spoke to me on the phone for over an hour trying to get a feel for what I wanted and what we were looking for. The amount of work that she put in to finding the perfect diamond has gone over very well with my fiancé. The engagement ring is perfect ,more than I could have imagined with my price range and the band matches the engagement ring perfectly. I thank her so much for all the work that she has done and will continue to go to her for all future jewelry decisions!!!
My husband chose to buy my engagement ring at DeScenza Diamonds in Peabody, MA based on reviews from friends. He spent a lot of time picking out the perfect setting and diamond. Chris was very patient and helpful. DeScenza’s was able to resize my ring, making it a full size smaller, without compromising the ring or removing any diamonds. My ring is perfect and exactly what I would have picked for myself. Because my husband had such a great experience at DeScenza Diamonds, we chose to buy our wedding bands there. Because my husband had purchased my engagement ring, we were able to get 10% off of our wedding bands. DeScenza’s has beautiful jewelry and an amazing selection. Michelle helped us to pick out wedding bands, and my wedding band matches my engagement ring perfectly. Everyone we worked with was professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend DeScenza Diamonds to anyone.
Myself and my family have done business with DeScenzas for a few years now. This was my first experience with Cristin and also buying a Diamond. I can not tell you enough how great she was. From her knowledge with diamonds and my lack thereof, how she just made the whole experience so easy and not stressful. From the day that I met her, it was so smooth and easy because of her. Working with my budget and having the selection she brought out was great. I left with a gorgeous ring for my future wife and also enough knowledge to be able to hold a conversation talking about a diamond. She truly was terrific. I was just so happy with my experience because Cristin O'Rourke was so helpful and great. Shes amazingly caring and just loves her job. I would recommend my experience to absolutely anyone.
My girlfriend and I started looking at rings in February of this year. Cristin in the Hingham store was extremely helpful and informative. Not once did I feel pressured at all, in fact she did not ask if I would be back(or even ask for my contact information). She simply gave me her card and if I had any other questions please let her know. My girlfriend a couple months later went in on her own to meet with Cristin. Again, Cristin was extremely helpful and spent alot of her time with my girlfriend. At no point did she feel pressured at all and came home from that meeting ecstatic that she now KNEW what she wanted and liked. I now had an idea and returned to see Cristin with my mother. Her service once again was great and made it very easy for my mother and I to understand. As we requested to look at different options it became obvious which one we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to utilize them for their diamond needs.
Loved working with DeScenza for our wedding bands. They were transparent with cost, helpful with budgeting, and gave us the best valued rings. Great customer service and always friendly interactions.
I am a 3rd generation Descenza Diamonds customer. Both sets of my grandparents used Descenza's, followed by my parents, and now myself. I worked with Cristin at the Hingham location for about 3 hours and left in tears (very happy tears). I had a general idea of what engagement ring I wanted and my budget and Cristin did the rest of the work. Her knowledge of and passion for diamonds made the lengthy process enjoyable and informative. She showed me many options within my price range and went over every detail until we both knew we had found the perfect diamond. Same story with the band. Leaving the store even more excited than when I came in, my soon-to-be fiancé then managed the payments. The ring was made the next day and pictures were sent to my fiancé to ensure his happiness. Since we live in Virginia, phone communication was vitally important to the payment process and delivery. My fiancé made a few payments and then gave the go-ahead for shipment. The ring arrived next-day and in perfect condition. He was so excited about it that he proposed earlier than planned. We were both extremely happy with the entire process and are excited to continue the family tradition of lifelong Descenza purchases!

My grandparents use DeScenzas for all their jewelry needs. My mother uses DeScenza's. I even helped my step-father pick out my mother's current engagement ring when I was 8-years-old. DeScenza's was an easy choice for me to start looking for an engagement ring earlier this year. From the moment I walked through the door, the process was comfortable and professional. There was never any pressure from the employees to buy anything except exactly what I wanted.
In particular, Cristin at the Hingham store spent hours with me until I found the perfect diamond and setting.
Not only I was pleased with the final product, but also (and more importantly), my fiancée loves how the ring came out.
Although expensive, I feel like I got my money's worth. My fiancée and I plan to use DeScenza's for our wedding rings, and I plan to be life-long customer.
My fiancé worked with Donna at the Hingham DeScenza location and said his experience was less stressful than he ever expected. He visited the location multiple times to learn the basics, view diamonds, and put his vision into a ring setting and said he never felt pressured. In fact, Donna mentioned to him that it would take time but at some point he would see a diamond and just know THAT is the one. He thought she was crazy- but sure enough, a diamond rolled out of one of the little envelopes and something about it just caught his eye and he knew it was the one. Having no knowledge of diamonds or rings prior to visiting DeScenza, he felt he made a well educated decision and was comfortable with his purchase.
After our engagement we went back to Donna to have my ring sized. We went back and forth between sizing down or having beads added. I chose the smaller size, but when I got home I second guessed myself. I don't normally wear rings so I didn't know how tight I wanted it, if I would swell, etc. I called the next day and asked if I could come by after work to try on the ring and sizers again before my ring was sent out- they were more than accommodating and patient with me. Other staff members gave me a second opinion and verified that my original decision was in fact the right one. My ring fits perfectly!! I'm so happy with the fit and can't stop staring at the sparkle! It's beautiful!!
We will be heading back to Donna to purchase our wedding bands when the time comes- no question. With no hesitation we have already referred a couple friends to DeScenza as well. Customer service is key and they know how to do it!
Thank you DeScenza!
My first visit to a jewelry store was in Downtown Crossing. There are dozens of stores in the area, however most felt like walking into a used car lot. The salespeople were pushing items and offering bogus discounts. After being disappointed time and again I decided to venture to the south shore where I grew up.
Fifteen minutes after meeting Cristin at DeScenza I knew I would buy the ring there. Not only does she know more about diamonds and jewelry than any person I came across, but she genuinely cared about her job and finding the perfect ring for my fiancé. I already knew the basics when I went her after visiting a dozen other stores and listening to all of the spiels, but Cristin was still able to teach me about diamonds, rings, and style. She made the entire experience enjoyable.
DeScenza did a great job on my wife's engagement ring/stone! Knowledgeable, courteous and low-pressure, they actually talked me into a stone that was below my budget. I highly recommend them.
I am an older bride and when my finace proposed I told him I wanted to use my mother's diamond to create a ring for my wedding. I immediately thought of DeScenza. I have been going to this family owned company for help with jewelry for years. They are wonderful and have highly trained employees who can help you create and preserve family heirlooms.
We worked with Cristin to create a one of a kind engagment ring and wedding band with my mother's diamonds. I couldn't be happier. She guided us through the process and experienced the joy with us when it was revealed. The rings came out perfect. It was a wonderful experience. I highly reccomend DeScenza Diamonds.
I bought an engagement ring to replace my original ring which was stolen. Everyone at DeScenza goes out of their way to help you find exactly what you are looking for. They make you feel completely comfortable and welcome. Cristin O'Rourke is extremely knowledgeable about diamonds and her love and passion for beautiful stones of all sizes, cuts and clarity is infectious. The whole experience was excellent. I highly recommend DeScenza for all your jewelry needs.
DeScenza Diamonds has a great quality of diamonds. They also take the time to teach you about diamonds.
I purchased a ring from a different retailer on a rather impulsive buy. Three months before my wedding I changed my mind and I am SO glad that I did. My fiancee and I went to DeScenza and were matched with the most perfect wedding band. My engagement ring is custom-designed by my fiancee, and now I have a wedding band that looks like it was custom designed to match! Loved the warmth of the staff.
I highly recommend DeScenza. When my husband and I were planning on getting engaged, several people suggested that we go to DeScenza. When we went, we had the best experience. They carefully went over everything about diamonds from price to cut, style, etc. We didn't feel pressured to purchase right away, though my husband did end up getting the ring there a week later :) We couldn't have been more satisfied with the price and their guarantee. We had such a great experience that my brother also bought his engagement ring there as well. If you go, stop by the one in Hingham and ask for Kristen. She has great expertise on diamonds!
As the groom I went to countless jewelery stores searching for the right ring. Aside from not really seeing much I liked but after my online research I realized it was overpriced and everyones help seemed limited. Then I came across DeScenza and it was clear right away that it would be the last one. Not only was Cristin there extremely helpful but made the process easy. I learned a lot there and she was determined to help find the right ring anyway necessary. I couldn't have been any happier with the process and my now wife loves her ring more than I could ever describe so it worked out perfectly. When it came to my ring they were equally as helpful and gave me a great deal on it.
I couldn't be more thrilled with our wedding bands from DeScenza. We have been longtime customers and they did not disappoint. We adore LauraLee! She was beyond helpful with our selection process, and is extremely professional. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and DeScena Diamonds throughout the years.
We registered with DeScenza as well - the items were top notch and were so different from your standard department store - truly a special way to celebrate your big day!
We also purchased wedding gifts for our attendees -- tremendous selection and customer service.
I highly recommend DeScenza Diamonds!
My family has shopped at DeScenza's for generations. When it was time to select a wedding ring, my fiancé and I shopped in Europe and here in the States and found exactly the rings we were looking for at DeScenza's. The selection and quality are superb and the customer service is incredible. We are so very pleased with our rings.
My Fiance bought my engagement ring at DeScenza Diamonds in Peabody and had a fantastic experience. My family has been shopping there for years, but this was his first experience there. He was so nervous ahead of time as he knew nothing about diamonds, but they gave him a full diamond lesson (he was able to fill me in on every detail of my ring!) He was so happy with the entire experience and really felt comfortable with the guy he worked with.
I LOVE my ring, it is absolutely gorgeous, I get comments on it all the time.. Since we got engaged (in December) two of my fiance's friends have followed suit, and gone to DeScenza's as well.
I can't wait to go back and buy wedding bands!
My husband was able to not only pick out each stone but he was also able to design the setting from scratch. DeScenza's educated him thoroughly on each step of the process and held his hand from beginning to end. 3 years later and I still receive complements on my ring. The design work is amazing. The quality- the best. The ring- stunning and completely personalized.
We went back for our wedding bands and again we found everyone to be super helpful and totally supportive!
Thanks DeScenza's:)!
What an incredible experience both my now husband and I had at DeScenza's:) My ring is BEAUTIFUL and the quality is superb. My husband had such an amazing experience with his purchase....from the "diamond education" he received to DeScenza's commitment to quality and customer service, he promises to return for our future anniversaries:)
Not only does DeScenza's specialize in jewelry, but they have an incredible selection of housewares. I registered for so many unique gifts (picture frames, napkin holders, china, platters, etc.) and can't wait to have guests over so I can show off all my new gifts!
DeScenza's is definitely a class act!
