After building up three week's worth of correspondence with Gates-- who responds to queries, questions and concerns almost immediately through e-mail or onrepparttar 130851 telephone--Keith, who lives in Dallas, ordered his fiancée a perfectly round stone on a simple and elegant white gold setting.

They had comparison shopped at other ring websites as well as in brick and mortar stores. The results from RingDesigner.com? "We paid maybe one third of what we would have paid anywhere else," Mike says aboutrepparttar 130855 large, symmetrically square diamond on a bold gold band. "And we got such great service. I even changedrepparttar 130856 setting about half-way through and Greg quickly accommodated me onrepparttar 130857 fly."

Fiona Lutz’ ring arrived by FedEx at her home, five hours outside of London, hours before her wedding. "My fiancé and I had been looking atrepparttar 130858 RingDesigner.com website for weeks.

"My ring arrived by courier at two o’clock inrepparttar 130860 morning on New Year’s Day, my wedding day," marveled Fiona, "and when we later had it appraised for insurance purposes, it was valued at three times what we had paid."
