When I tell you it was a relief to find DreamStone, among all the different vendors on New York's diamond district, I'm not exaggerating. I spent the better part of my weekend trying different exchanges, even a family referral. People were either showing me one diamond or something not even close to what i was looking for. When I made an appointment DreamStone at the New York City office, I didn't know what to expect. They showed me about a dozen or so options all within the particular characteristics I was looking for in terms of carat, color, clarity and even the ratio of the pear shape diamond I was looking for. Once it came down to pricing I was shocked on how they were able to compete with online vendors. Here I was getting to see the diamonds in person, compare them and still get the discounted online price. It was a winning situation and I am just thrilled with my experience. Highly recommend the team at DreamStone!
