Congratulations and Thank You to Mike!

“Like so many other guys, buying an engagement ring was a huge source of stress for me. It shouldnāt be, but letās face it, it is. You have girls that are constantly comparing each otherās rings. You start hearing terms being tossed around like the 4 Cās (be ready guys to remember these by heart: Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut). āI love a cushion cutā, āI really want a haloā, āWould you rather a small VVS2 or big VS1?ā meanwhile, if youāre like me, you Google search everything because itās almost like a different language is being spoken. Plus, if youāre from NY like me, you have the added stress of hearing some of the horror stories about the Diamond District.
Enter in Keith Saxe. While I was searching for potential dealers, I noticed one consistency. NYC Wholesale Diamonds kept getting great reviews talking about how great Keith was. Iād go from site to site and there was his name popping up again. So I figured why not and shot him an email. Unlike other dealers, his thoroughness appeared right away. He asked questions like āDo you have a picture of something she recently liked?ā āWhat is her personality like? Is she ostentatious or more quiet?ā āIs she looking for modern or traditional?ā This was so unlike other vendors, who basically said to come on down and weāll figure it out day of (TIP: donāt do that guys. Put some thought into it, as this is a big decision). When I came to the DD that day, I met a few dealers before our appointment, just to do my due diligence. I wanted to get others opinions ranging from white gold vs. platinum to carat vs. clarity. Fast forward to our appointment and I knew within 5 minutes of sitting down that Keith was the person to go with. First, he was prepared. Going off our emails, he picked a few examples for me and explained the proās and conās of them all. Second, he was completely upfront about all the details. Third, there was zero pressure from him. He says it in his bio, but itās true. He was trying to teach and inform me, not pressure me to buy from him. Honestly, it was one of the most refreshing buying experiences Iāve had in a long, long time. As you may have guessed, I decided to go with him and itās absolutely the best decision I could have made. My now fiancĆ© absolutely loved the ring and close to 2 months later, sheās still gushing over it. I canāt reiterate how much Keith got it right. It was as perfect as perfect can be.
My final tip is yes, do your due diligence. Take some time to research and ask friends and family what they think. If youāre like me, go to dealers and ask questions and donāt be afraid to ask questions. Itās a huge purchase and you should be happy. But if I had to do it all over again, Iād easily go with Keith again. Best in the business as far as Iām concerned.”
