5 /5 Brittany Rene: TLDR; We weren’t sure what kind of ring we could afford, but Samy at OCDE created gorgeous ring for us.
My fiancé and found such a beautiful engagement ring at OC Diamond Estate Jewelry! With our tighter budget, I already accepted that the ring may have to be modest. You hear about people having 20k rings which felt unrealistic for us. But the selection within our range was incredible with so many beautiful rings from the 1800s to modern. I love that my ring combines everything about the old saying.. It’s something old, new, borrowed, and blue :)
Modern engagement rings didn’t align with our hopes of design, ethics, and sustainability. So we looked for antique and vintage. After striking out at other spots, we are so glad we went to OCDE. OC Diamond Estate Jewelry is Samy and Samy is OCDE. Samy was so patient with during our two visits. We were shown ~200 rings and he helped narrow to our top ten favorites. Samy never pushed us to go over our budget. Even when we didn’t feel we found The One, Samy was graciously offered customization. He combined two rings I loved. Samy’s graciousness was at every step of the process. During removal when, unfortunately, the stone I loved chipped, Samy personally selected a higher quality stone to replace it. Big thank you to OCDE and Samy for this one of a kind violet beauty. We will be back!
