Great ring experience

by GHoff at Citysearch

I wanted to have a hand in my engagement ring design, so I went with my fiancee to For Richer or Poorer in Brooklyn after reading the rave reviews. It did not disappoint, unlike most jewelers, you work with Tara, a young woman recently wed herself, who knows first hand what a woman wants in a ring. She made us both feel very comfortable and was straight up about pricing and what you get for your money. Her settings were gorgeous and she found some great diamonds for us to choose from. I didn't see the finished product until I was proposed to, and it turned out way better than I could have imagined. We will be going back for our wedding bands for sure.

• Pros: warm environment, good service, straight up about prices
• Cons: None that I can think of

The Personal Service Makes the Difference

by rosynu73 at Citysearch

As a guy who knows nothing about jewelry and was nervous about the engagement ring shopping process, I was lucky enough to find out about Tara from a friend's recommendation. From our very first meeting, she made me feel at ease. She taught me all the basics about diamonds and explained all of my options. I explained to her what I was looking for and she worked with me to create the perfect piece. My fiance loved it and now I look like a genius. Overall, I couldn't imagine more personal service or a better value anywhere else!

Great talent, excellent service

Our experience with Tara could not have been better. We took our original wedding ring design to several other jewelers who would not even attempt such an intricate design. Tara did not even hesitate in taking on the challenge. The intertwined Celtic knot and leaf elements of the rings had to be painstakingly executed by hand, and the rings came out perfectly! We recommend her at every opportunity.
