When Mike came to me to make his engagement ring with Lauren, he knew exactly what she wanted for her perfect ring. We met up to chat about it at a bar in NYC, and funny enough friends of Lauren's were there too so we had to swear them to secrecy about our meeting!
Knowing the gist of the design that Lauren wanted with an Oval center stone with two rounds I provided renderings for two different Oval center stone sizes. Mike was also curious to see an option showing micro pavé on the shank.
After settling on the stone size and design, I reached out to my diamond source on 47th street and brought Mike to look at several options within his price range. I think it is so important for a customer to see the stones in person. Every diamond sparkles differently and it is just so special when the client picks the stone that is meant for them. Everyone is called to something different to end up with their perfect diamond.
Mike picked out a diamond that he loved and we got to work making the ring!

Working with Erica to purchase my fiancé's engagement ring was a breeze. She took the time to get to know me personally, what I was looking for, and what I was nervous or unsure about. We worked together to understand budget, timing and design considerations and their impact on each other. Erica guided me through each step of the process and the end result was a “Yes!!”

I feel so lucky that my fiancé was able to work with Erica, surprising me with the most incredible ring. It’s unique yet still classy, and timeless. I absolutely love how it turned out. I also worked with Erica on my wedding bands to match the diamonds perfectly with my engagement ring and she exceeded all my expectations. Her attention to detail and quality of work is incredible - I totally recommend anyone to work with Acire.
