We had a wonderful experience with Greg at Jacob Mercari, who helped us find a lab diamond to meet very exacting specifications for my engagement ring. We never once felt pressured during our consultation with Greg, and he really helped us understand the buying process. I am quite an educated diamond buyer and I was very impressed by Greg's knowledge and his access to a wide variety of diamonds. Lab diamonds are still a small part of the market, but he was able to import two diamonds for us to consider (still with no obligation to buy!). I loved both diamonds and am so happy with my ring. The advantage of going with a lab diamond is that they are much more affordable but are visually, chemically, and structurally identical to mined diamonds. Greg gave us a full rendering of the ring for me to approve beforehand, which gave me confidence in our design choices. I LOVE my ring and it looks like it cost almost double what it did (in my opinion), because lab diamonds are a very economical choice. I highly recommend going with Jacob Mercari for your engagement ring, whether you're looking for a lab or mined diamond. He'll help you get a ring you love and make sure you get the best value for your budget.
