When looking for an engagement ring, I looked at many places. Mariloff's diamonds were less expensive than equivalent diamonds at the other stores (especially chain stores) while their staff were far more helpful. Rachael helped me find a diamo...nd, and in addition to being very kind, she was also exceptionally helpful, professional, and transparent - some other stores were hesitant to reveal their diamonds' ratings or cost, but Rachael always provided the grading card, price, and a loop to examine each diamond she brought out. She also provided a large number of diamonds within my budget to look at. They provided similarly excellent service and value in getting a ring to go with the diamond! I would definitely recommend Mariloff to family members, friends, or anyone looking for a place with incredibly helpful staff (even to customers like me with a fairly modest budget) that can give them a far better diamond, at a substantially lower cost than chain stores like Jared, Robbin's Bros, etc.
