Finally decided to take the plunge and propose to my long-time girlfriend. Unfortunately I didn't know any jewelers and knew even less about diamond quality. Luckily, my soon-to-be-wife had described exactly the type of ring she wanted, so I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for.
I decided to go to the jewelry district in Downtown, and upon arriving was overwhelmed by the amount of places to shop. Each building I entered had around 40-50 booths. As soon as I would approach a booth, I'd get attacked by someone asking if I needed help. I'm the type of person that likes to browse around by myself without being bothered, and if I need help, I'll ask for it. And as soon as I mentioned that I was in the market for a wedding ring...their eyes would light-up with dollar signs. I never really felt comfortable with anyone and always had the feeling that everyone was after my money rather than my satisfaction.
I then approached Sergio's booth, and was simply greeted with a smile. I liked how they had such a wide variety of jewelry. I found a ring very similar to what my girlfriend had described. Sergio was very helpful in explaining to me how a diamond is valued i.e. cut, carat, clarity, color, etc. We agreed on a price, which was well below my budget. I not only walked away Sergio's booth with a better understanding of diamonds, but also knowing that I got a great deal on a beautify ring. I highly recommend this place to everyone.
