    My first experience with General Diamonds was in January when I had planned to head to the Diamond District downtown and hit up as many stores as possible.  I scouted ahead and read a bunch of reviews to go to the five best places within the large International Jewelry Center. I brought along with me a Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring that had been given to me by my Grandma. I was actually looking to sell the ring so that I was able to buy a round stone.   I went to my first four stores and they all roughly said the same thing... "Marquise's are not in, we sell maybe one a year, this will just sit on our shelf".  Most would buy the ring for me 2-3K price range.

    Then I went to General Diamonds. After I told them what I was hoping to do (sell the ring) ,  Farid and Aida both looked at me and said "Why would you sell this ring? It is gorgeous.  You will never get anywhere close to what it is worth."  I said hmm and thanked them for their time as I left the building for the day after checking out their ring selection.  I was a little bummed as I was hoping to get more for the ring and didn't see anything I absolutely loved.  

    Over the course of the next week I pondered what I thought I should do and finally I decided upon using the Marquise Diamond I already had. I decided you know what I haven't seen anything I love maybe I will design my own ring getting ideas from online.  I called Farid and asked if I could design my own ring with him and he said of course, that they would have no problem making me whatever I desired.  That saturday I stopped in with a number of different pictures showing Farid the custom ring I was hoping to make.  We talked for a bit and figured out everything from the sizing, what type of metal, and what type of diamonds on the band and halo.  I then gave to him my Marquise stone, a small deposit, and he gave me an amazing price quote for the entire project.

    Over the course of the next 3 months I went to General Diamonds a number of different times,  the first was after the first renders had been completed, and then a few weeks later to see the finished wax mold of how the ring would look, I then came in a saw the first rose gold part finished, and then the outer band.  The entire time Farid and Aida always greeted me with a smile by name, and asked me how everything was going with my girlfriend and work.  They truly cared about me as a human and not just a customer.

    Finally the day came and they shot me an email saying the ring is finished, you may come in and get it anytime you like. When I walked in they gave me a smirk and said you are going to love this ring, it looks like a 100,000 dollar ring, and wait til you see the appraisal for the diamond!  So after months upon months of work and waiting Farid finally pulled that black box out from behind the counter, and when he opened it up WOW,  one of the most amazing rings I have ever seen in my entire life. I could not believe that I was going to be able to slip that onto my girlfriend's hand and she would wear it forever. I was already on cloud 9 as I had just become the owner of the most amazing engagement ring, but the story gets better.

    Aida pulled out a pamphlet from EGL appraisals and said "You remember how everyone else was offering you around 2,000 dollars for your ring,  the Diamond is a Tiffany's VS1 E color and was appraised for over 14,600 dollars".  I nearly fell over right there on the spot. The fact that I almost sold that diamond for 2,000 dollars is a shame and if it weren't for Farid and Aida I would have.  They would have gotten a five star review for their services but the fact that they were the only jeweler to tell me don't sell that ring it is very nice, speaks volumes about them as business owners but also as knowing their product.

    I have been happily engaged for two weeks now and can honestly say Farid and Aida made the whole process so easy, fun, and rewarding that they have earned a customer for life.
