‘Thank you again for introducing me to the beautiful diamond that is now the engagement ring I have shown with pride to so many of my family & friends. It was such a surprise when Max lured me to your office on the pretence of looking at a new watch for him. It wasn’t until you said “So this must be the lucky lady!”, that I started to realise what was going on. Max’s “proposal” was somewhat unconventional, but that’s just typical of him & one of the many reasons why I’m marrying him. I’ve described his approach to several of my friends who all seem to agree his words “well if we’re going to get married, there has to be a diamond”, make perfect sense & may even be described as romantic. Thank you again for helping us choose such a beautiful diamond & to create my perfect ring.’

Thank you Paula and Max, for choosing NYC Wholesale Diamonds. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

Chicago Commodities Broker Trades in his Single Life with Romantic Proposal

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

Read on for the story of how he proposed and his review..

 I got engaged the night of Feb 11th. I surprised my gf by recreating the dinner we had on our first date, which consisted of a filet mignon covered in a shallot red wine sauce, with a side of spinach mashed potatoes and roasted heirloom carrots. I also had a playlist going that had songs from bands we had seen perform live. She has been getting a lot of compliments from strangers and absolutely loves her ring.

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

“Keith was a pleasure to work with and I recommend his services to anyone looking for an engagement ring. Not only are his prices great, but his selection is extensive and he is very skilled at working around your budget. He’s also very caring, and you can tell he puts a lot of effort into making sure his customers are happy. I only met with Keith twice, as I live out of state, and he was very easy to work with via e-mail. He is responsive and delivered the ring exactly when promised. My fiancée loves her ring and has been getting compliments from strangers on an almost daily basis. Thanks for the great work Keith!”

Diamonds and white metals, mostly platinum, were the stars of the 88th Academy Awards red carpet jewelry presentation Sunday. Earrings were big with chandeliers, geometric designs and large drops. There were plenty of bare necks but when necklaces were worn, they were outsized and dramatic.

The winner was Charlize Theron who appeared near the end of the event wearing $3.7 million worth of Harry Winston Diamonds. The show stopper was the 48-carat Secret Cluster Diamond Necklace, which was complemented by Winston Cluster Diamond Earrings, 15.49 carats, Cushion-Cut Diamond Ring with Micropave, 8.78 carats, Micropave Diamond Band Ring, and Queen Diamond Ring, 7.44 carats, all set in platinum.
