This is from both myself and my fiancé. We wanted to give credit from both of our perspectives!
Joe - Lori at Israel Diamonds was recommended to me by two of my coworkers, who had only the best things to say about her. I contacted Lori and... told her that I was looking for an engagement ring and told her what I wanted and my price range. Lori made the buying process AMAZING!!! She found an incredible GIA stone that surpassed my expectation and when all the dust settled I ended up paying about $7,000 less than I would have for the same thing from the discount jewelry place in Houston. When my fiancé and I were in the mall we saw a ring a lot like hers, same size and cut but very cloudy no fire and it was not GIA certified; the mall jewelry store was asking more than double what I paid at Israel. The moral of the story is, go look around town and really do your homework and when you get tired of getting jerked around and just want an amazing deal on a beautiful stone, call Lori at Israel Diamonds in Tulsa, OK.
Bonnie - Joe and I had talked about rings leading up to him proposing and since I didn't know much about diamonds I really wasn't that much help. I just told him that I wanted something that sparkled, in a classic setting, and square. LOL not a lot for him to go on. But when he asked me to marry him and I saw the ring that Lori had helped him pick out, I was more than speechless...it seriously took my breath away!!!! An absolutely gorgeous cushion cut diamond that never stops sparkling!!!! It really is the most stunning ring I have ever seen!!!! Lori is from now on our jeweler and we will be returning to purchase our wedding bands and any future jewelry!!!!
