Paul-I am writing to say THANK YOU so much for helping create the most beautiful ring I have ever seen! I could not be happier with the final product. It is absolutely gorgeous! I never would have thought I would own such an exquisite piece of jewelry. I have already received so many compliments from friends, family and lots of strangers. I can't thank you enough for helping Christopher create my dream engagement ring. I am truly grateful.

Maurice and his team provided unparalleled service during my engagement ring search. He represents a few values that are very hard to come by in his line of business: integrity, patience, and knowledge. There was never any pressure to select anything and everything was tailored to what was important to me. I literally had no idea what I was doing and he provided a full education and gave me the attention that represented a true service-minded approach. I felt totally at ease making this important purchase. I highly recommend Maurice to anyone looking to buy fine jewelry and will continue to buy from him in the future. My fiance's ring has received praise and compliments from every single person who has seen it!

Upon arriving at Ascot, it was readily apparent that it would not be the typical jewelry store experience. The sleek, modern interior; individual attention; and professional atmosphere was more akin to what you would expect from a private Swiss bank than from a neighborhood jeweler. Prior to visiting Ascot, I had tried a number of the typical chain/retail establishments in the DC area, but never left feeling excited or fulfilled with the experience. At Ascot, this changed dramatically. I met with Tim, who proceeded to provide a Diamond 101 education experience. It was clear that Tim knew more about diamonds than everyone else I had spoken with previously, combined. Tim spent considerable time ensuring that I knew exactly what to be looking for in a diamond, relying on real diamond samples, over-sized diamond props, and multiple industry trade publications to demonstrate differences between various stones and characteristics, highlight value drivers/detractors, and evaluate the influence on price. Tim's knowledge also extended beyond diamonds, as he dove into differences between the precious metals and how they would impact the setting, from price to durability to longevity. Over the subsequent months, Tim and the team at Ascot worked closely with me to select the right diamond and setting, taking into consideration budget constraints and desired characteristics. At no point did I feel like I was getting pressured or up-sold during this process - in fact, there were a times when Tim did just the opposite. I highly recommend Ascot to anyone in the market for an engagement ring.

So we start out by saying over the top! We were expecting the usual hurry up and choose a ring because I have other customers to wait on. Instead we received the treatment of royalty, and a very pleasant experience. Thank you Matt for making our time at Ascot one we will never forget.

Hi Paul, I wanted to thank you again for taking time for meeting with Nick and I on Saturday afternoon. After several other appointments we decided we would like to purchase the engagement ring from Ascot. Not only did I love several of the settings, your professionalism and customer service was paramount when making my final decision.

Washington, DC

Hi Matt, I was going through the Ascot bag that my new fiance gave me in search of the provided cleaning solution and in it was a booklet on some jewelry pieces. Inside of that was your business card. I was so happy to find it so that I could write you a personal note and be able to share my thanks with you (at what a proper time of year to do so!). I can't even begin to tell you how perfect a day it was almost two weeks ago when Michael proposed to me. After we became engaged, my fiance shared with me his ring shopping experience. I wanted to write to you because I wanted to tell you that he had such great things to say about Ascot, but more specifically, you. He felt that you truly understood him and provided him with a personal experience and the insight and knowledge to help him pick the most beautiful and perfect ring for me!!! I can't tell you what a shock the proposal was and how incredibly happy I am with him of course but also with the most beautiful ring I've ever seen! I try not to boast, but I love to show off my ring at every chance possible! Thank you again for being such a wonderful help to my fiance and starting us on our perfect life together! I can't wait to visit your store and pick out wedding rings in the future. I look forward to meeting you then!

Brittany: We want to thank you. We were extremely happy with the ring the rest of the package. Your quality of service was superior and you have a wealth of knowledge. We will be happy to recommend you to others looking for diamond jewelry.

Dave Vicevich

The simple words "thank you" cannot begin to express how truly grateful I am to have had the enjoyment of shopping at Ascot Diamonds. Chad and I are so appreciative of the time, effort, and advice in helping us select the most perfect ring to celebrate the beginning of our life together. When I look at this incredible piece of jewelry and what it represents, I am amazed. The ring is breathtaking and I couldn't be happier! Once again, thank you, Ascot Diamonds, for making it so perfect!

After visiting multiple retail jewelers, I was thoroughly unhappy with the experience of trying to buy an engagement ring. A friend recommended Ascot and even though I didn't think my budget was large enough, I sent an email and they not only set me up with an appointment, but assured me they would work within my financial constraints. My jeweler, Brittany Odom, did an excellent job of making sure I had a wonderful experience and got a fantastic ring that has gotten many many compliments. I was so happy with the experience that we also purchased my fiance's wedding band from Ascot and I will without a doubt do further business with them in the future.

Atlanta, GA

"Hands down, best jeweler in Atlanta! If you are looking for an engagement ring, I would absolutely recommend Ascot Diamonds. After going through the whole "finding a ring" process, it is clear that so many jewelers are just trying to get you to buy the most expensive ring and do not listen to what you are really looking for-not Ascot! From day one they listened to what we wanted and worked within our budget to design a hand-crafted, high quality, BEAUTIFUL ring. We worked with Marlene Green, who was AMAZING! She took note of everything I said and worked with my fiance over the course of 2 months to design my dream ring. We will be going back to Ascot for our wedding bands and all of our jewelry needs (and wants) from now on. Thank you, Marlene"

"Hi Paul, this email is long overdue! I finally found the perfect moment to propose and took the knee on September 29th on a gorgeous fall day in Cape Porpoise, Maine. We took a picnic on a beach called Goose Rocks--white sand, sail boats in the distance, lighthouse--it couldn't have been more quintessential Maine. We are still very excited and I just wanted to share a photo with you from right after my proposal. The ring is fantastic and Carina is thrilled! She gets compliments daily. I'm guite proud of my choice, and couldn't have done it without your impeccable taste, support, advice and help through the process. Please let me extend my heartfelt sincere thanks for what you did for me.

Matthew Reichman

"Matthew-I can't thank you enough for everything you did to help make my engagement ring experience so wonderful. I absolutely LOVE my ring and can't stop looking at it! It helped that you made Steve so comfortable and informed. By the time we left your showroom after the first visit, he didn't want to go anywhere else! Thank you again, Matt...you definitely have repeat clients in us!"

When I was transferred overseas with my job, my boyfriend and I didn't hesitate in getting engaged. Between consolidating two houses and moving to Australia over a furious 2 month period, we were up to our ears with work. We didn't have a lot of time to shop around for rings, but knew only quality, service, and excellence would do in terms of finding the perfect one. I was prepared to wait and shop from overseas for up to a year to find the right show stopping ring that would light me up for the next 50 years! Stumbling upon Maurice at Ascot Diamonds was a God send. Superior customer service doesn't begin to describe his professionalism. He quickly got a feel for what we liked and went the extra mile to show us what suited our tastes, on our schedule, and without pressure. Almost instantly we found "THE RING"...the Catherine Ryder line is truly stunning. I've been wearing it for about 45 days and routinely get stopped by complete strangers to admire it. This ring will definitely out live me and will be something to pass down through our family

Australia

I purchased an engagement ring for my fiance in New Orleans. To have it insured I needed an appraisal. That's when I visited Maurice at Ascot Diamonds. He really took his time looking the ring over and his assessment of the diamonds, clarity, total weight, etc. were exact. I was very pleased with his appraisal...in fact, I was so pleased that there was no need to find a second appraisal. Thank you, Maurice,for running your business with total honesty and integrity. I will definitely shop with you next time I'm in the market for fine jewelry.

Steve

Brittany- The ring is gorgeous! My mom is going to be beside herself when she sees it. We are going on a family trip to Colorado in two weeks and I plan on giving it to her then-I can hardly wait! Thanks again for your help in the design process.

Betsy Watts

When the love of my life proposed to me, I looked down at a black box that held the most beautiful engagement ring I could have ever envisioned! At a glance, I could tell he had taken the time to customize a ring that suited my character, personality and unique fashion sense. Reggie spoke in glowing terms about Maurice at Ascot Dallas who helped turn his jewelry vision into reality. I now proudly wear my cushion cut diamond in a platinum micro-pave halo setting with emerald cut side stones. It wasn't until I needed the ring sized that I had the opportunity to meet Maurice. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. We definitely have a jeweler for life in Maurice!

Toni

"Wanda, I hope all is well and wanted to let you know how highly Ali and I think of you and Ascot Diamonds. I agree with the claim in your newsletter that Ascot provides, 'impeccable service and meticulous craftsmanship'. This goes a long way and that is why Ali and I recommend you to all of our friends and colleagues looking to purchase any type of fine jewelry. There have been a few that have gone elsewhere and I make sure to let them know they are missing out on a wonderful opportunity. Because of our experience with you, we will not step foot in another jeweler's showroom. I am sure we will be seeing you again soon due to Ali's love for shiny things!"

Patrick M. McSweeney
Atlanta, GA

"We would like to express our complete satisfaction with Ascot Diamonds. Our deepest appreciation is directed to Maurice Efune. We visited numerous jewelry stores in Dallas and Maurice's personal attention and knowledge impressed us immediately. He consulted with us and spent time to determine specifically what was important to us and worked within our budget. The result was a beautiful diamond bracelet that exceeded our quality and value expectations. We will continue to support and recommend Ascot Diamonds to all our friends."

Ron and Mary Hassenfratz

"Paul-Hunter's mother asked that I send you another email telling you how wonderful you and Ascot were to her daughter and future son-in-law. AJ felt extremely comfortable with you and they are both as happy as can be. Hunter said she is telling all of her friends about you! Thank you again for taking such good care of them!"

We purchased our wedding bands from Ascot in Arlington, VA yesterday and I will continue to go to Ascot in the future because they, without a doubt, offered me the best value for the money, personal attention, and the ability to customize pieces far above that of any other jeweler I have ever come across. If only I had been turned onto Ascot about 8 months earlier before I bought my engagement ring through a different jeweler (rhymes with Schmiffany's), I would have gotten the same quality and spent considerably less. Every time a guy tells me he is thinking of getting an engagement ring or wedding band I highly recommend Ascot and tell them it would be a mistake to go anywhere else. We worked with Paul at Ascot Arlington, and we could not be happier with our purchase.

Mike Bennett
Arlington, Virginia

"Thank you again, Brittany, for taking time out of your schedule to come in on Saturday and meet with us. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to what Ascot Diamonds can offer us and the lesson in "Diamonds 101." We are very excited to continue this journey and glad to have you on board. Not only did you make a great impression with me, but, more importantly, Doherty absolutely loved your input and knowledge. She told me that she would definitely trust your opinion on anything that you picked out and that means a lot to me (not to mention it eases the pressure little bit!). Thank you again."

Ryan Riebesell
Gainesville, Georgia

I am very impressed with Ascot Diamonds. After visiting several different places, I found Maurice always got back to me the quickest with clear answers to my questions. I finally committed and asked him to make difficult, very specific type of ring with only a picture to show him. I could not bring my fiancee in because she was out of the country for a couple of months and wanted the ring ready for her when she returned. Maurice created the ring perfectly and delivered it on the exact date promised. My fiancee loves the ring!! Honestly, it turned out better than we expected and at a better price compared with other jewelers. I would recommend Ascot Diamonds to anyone.

Rob Wick
Mesa, Arizona

My Fiance spent 6 weeks designing my ring with Marlene Green and Ascot Diamonds in Atlanta and I LOVE IT...he was so impressed with the service and they really went all out to ensure he had it exactly as he imagined for the big day. I couldn't have been happier after I stopped crying to say "yes" and saw my beautiful blue saphire and diamond ring. The clarity and design is amazing!! Thanks for everything!

Kelly McPherson
Atlanta, Georgia

"My fiance and I took a stab at Ascot Diamonds in Arlington without having received any recommendations. We did do our homework by reading their online reviews and checking prices against others in the area. We were primarily impressed at the level of customer service we received from Paul jacobs. He was superb! He sat us down for a 101 course on diamonds and then showed us several stones and settings. We were impressed at their overall quality and craftsmanship. They really pay attention to quality and are very professional-no high pressure sales pitch. I cannot wait to see the diamond we chose in the custom made mounting!"

Christine
Arlington, Virginia

"Thank you to you, Matthew, and Ascot Diamonds for working with Shane and me to design my ring. From our first appointment with you, I was very excited to realize that no detail was too small for your craftsmen to pay attention to. When Shane presented me with the ring, I immediately saw my unique personality in the piece! The ring is everything I could have hoped for and more. It is stunning and I have received many compliments in a very short time. Of course, every time Shane and I hear those compliments, we direct them to Ascot. Be prepared, though, with a ring this beautifully crafted, I'm sure you will have many referrals headed your way! Thank you for making the design process such an exciting part of Shane's and my life together!"

Erin Walton
Atlanta, Georgia

"I visited Paul Jacobs at Ascot Diamonds with just an idea for a design and they turned it into the perfect ring for me. Ascot took what I thought was going to be a stressful process and turned it into a joyous experience. Words cannot express how gorgeous the ring turned out. My fiancée is overwhelmed by it and constantly receives compliments on how beautiful the ring is. I feel as though I received the perfect ring and wanted to express my deepest thanks for all your help. You definitely have a lifelong customer in me!"

Chad Klein
Arlington, Virginia

"Thanks to all of you good people at Ascot Diamonds, you have made one more client very happy-me! Without your knowledge and care I would not have been able to create such a truly beautiful engagement ring. I want to thank you especially for your advice concerning "scale"...this really worked out perfectly for us!"

Tim Lewis
Kalamazoo, Michigan

"My fiance, Brandon, and I are so excited to plan our wedding! And, it all started with our visit to Maurice and Ascot Diamonds. It's hard not to stare at my gorgeous ring! I've received so many compliments on its stunning and elegant design. I'm also thankful for the assistance and education you provided both of us during our visit. I think that most men don't know where to start when it comes to diamond education, insurance, timing, and ring size. You answered all of those questions without him having to ask and it made the experience that much better! Thank you."

Carley Whited
Dallas, Texas

"I received the ring yesterday morning and want you to know you guys did a perfect job. Everybody loves it. I gave it to her last night (she said 'yes' by the way) and she was speechless - exactly the reaction I wanted! I put the ring on the collar of a 5-week old kitten and snuck it into her room. When she walked in, the kitten ran right up to her with the ring around his neck. It turned out perfect - thanks again!"

Michael Hazen
Upper Saddle River, New Jersey

"You have made my fiancée VERY happy. Julia absolutely loves the ring and was brought to tears. The whole experience was perfect ... the flawless diamond, the custom setting, the superior craftsmanship ... all of it is a part of the wonderful story that has now been told many times in many languages! I can't thank you enough. As was the case with the ring my brother purchased a few years ago, the experience was truly wonderful. Thank you, thank you!"

Allen Brooks
Athens, Greece

"Ascot Diamonds greatly surpasses any jewelry experience I have ever had. They absolutely are the "gold standard" in customer service, satisfaction and integrity. After working with both Matthew Klidjian and Wanda Holt, I would never consider shopping anywhere else for future purchases. I give them the highest recommendation possible."

Elaine Grant
Atlanta, Georgia

"Good news - your search for a true friend in the diamond business ends with Ascot Diamonds! I know the apprehension that goes with shopping for a diamond. After hours of online research, scattered note taking, empty Saturdays spent wandering aimlessly in retail stores and rushed sales pitches, I was pretty much resigned to believe that it was just part of the game. I was wrong. An acquaintance suggested I try calling Ascot Diamonds. Wanda Holt, one of Ascot Diamonds' private jewelers and Community Relations Director, took my call, met with me and provided a warm welcome along with personalized service. I sat with her for a couple hours as she brought "clarity" to all of my previous research. Suddenly, I was comfortable enough to focus on the diamond and setting my fiancée and I would enjoy for years to come. The experience was so positive that, when it was time to select our wedding bands, my fiancée and I immediately went to Wanda without giving any other jeweler a second thought. I looked forward to having her meet Wanda, as I trusted we'd once again receive a fair price, gorgeous wedding bands and another wonderful experience. I was right. Guys - just save your time from the start - go to Ascot Diamonds. It's that simple!"

Aaron Pina
Atlanta, Georgia

"My experiences with each of the jewelers of Ascot Diamonds have all been very pleasant. Their office atmosphere exudes happiness, professionalism and passion. Most importantly, I have found that they are as passionate about finding the perfect piece of jewelry for you as they are about servicing your every jewelry need. If you want to see something amazing, just watch the passion on Brittany Odom's face when she talks about their jewelry - you can definitely tell that she loves what she does! You will never go anywhere else once you work with one of the jewelers at Ascot Diamonds."

"What an amazing job you all have done on all of our rings, necklace, earrings, etc! I wanted to tell you a little about how I proposed to Angie … we are fortunate to live above one of the best restaurants in New York City, Babbo. I returned home from being on the road for ten days and had set up a dinner evening for the two of us in my apartment, compliments of the restaurant. I made a special playlist and prepared to propose about ¾ of the way through dinner to "This Love is Real" by John Prine. When the song finally started during dessert, I dropped to one knee with the ring in my hand. Angie flushed, started crying and, as I slipped the ring onto her finger, exclaimed, "I think I'm going to throw up!" I replied by saying "I'll take that as a YES!" Needless to say, we've been laughing about that moment ever since. I can't wait until the rehearsal dinner to surprise her with the necklace … thank you again for everything you guys have done. We will truly be clients for life."

Kurt Polk
New York, New York

"Oh my goodness, the ring is absolutely beautiful! I am so thrilled - it is better than I ever could have ever imagined! I didn't think I could be more excited than when we came in to see you yesterday, but I was wrong … today is even better! I wanted to thank you (and Chris) for making this such a special event. We really appreciate you spending so much time with us. We both had so much fun learning about diamonds, picking out the setting, and 'strutting' around the place all decked out. I've looked at the picture from tonight a thousand times already - thank you so much for everything you have done!"

Elizabeth Coffey
Atlanta, Georgia

"I gave my wife the ring last week and she absolutely loves it. It turned out perfect and was exactly what she wanted. I can't thank you enough. While on a plane last weekend, the sun came in through the window and it projected little ‘stars' all over the cabin because of the beautiful cut of the diamond. It was incredible! Thanks again."

Justin B. Kaplan, Esq.
Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

"Thank you so much for my ring - it looks gorgeous! You did a great job, not only with the engagement ring, but with the wedding band as well. I can't thank you enough. I want you to know you have made our wedding day even more special because of your helpfulness and ability to listen to exactly what I wanted. Thank you!"

"I just wanted to give you an update, Brittany … when Carol returned from Arizona with the ‘less than optimistic' news from the Mayo clinic; we sat on the sectional discussing our options. During one of those quiet moments, I asked Carol to marry me and presented the ring to her. Her eyes sparkled as much as the diamond in the ring and, with tears flowing, she said ‘YES.' Thank you for bringing back the sparkle! I wish you could have seen her ... she couldn't believe how radiant the ring looked and I still find her staring at it frequently. Thank you!!!"

Don Hatch
Atlanta, GA

"Although my birthday is not until tomorrow, Don presented me with the custom ring today. IT IS GORGEOUS!!! I am thrilled with it! I have only found time to show it to one person so far, but she asked to see it three times... needless to say, my hand has already spent a lot of time under the brightest lamp in our house! Thank you so much for your beautiful work."

"Thank you so much for all your help, Paul …we really appreciate you racing into the office on Sunday to help us and are very excited to have selected the ring. I will tell everyone I know and anyone else who is willing to listen that there is NOWHERE ELSE they should go if they truly want top quality jewelry!"

John Pickeral
Doylestown, Pennsylvania

"When I decided to ask my girlfriend, Kelly, to marry me, I had a ring design in mind and begam looking for a jeweler who could make beautiful custom jewelry. After a surprising number of failed attempts, I finally found Ascot Diamonds! The first thing that drew me to them was the diversity and elegance of the designs I saw on the website, which even helped me hone my own design. I worked with Marlene Green who was happy to meet with me after normal working hours. I had been researching ring designs, settings and stones for several weeks and had the basic design but still had questions, thoughts, and concerns. After a little more than an hour Marlene was able to focus it all into the ring I had envisioned with additional enhancements. I met with Marlene at least four times to tweak the design and examine different center stones. Each time she was on time, answered all of my questions and offered invaluable advice. When everything was said and done, I had a customized ring and the best shopping experience of my life. Oh, and I was still within my original budget! I could say more, but the point is Ascot Diamonds is a quality place with people who really care about what you want and know how to make it happen."

Clarke Monroe
Atlanta, GA

"I have visited several jewelers around the Atlanta area and the very best results have always come from Ascot Diamonds and Brittany Odom … Brittany is professional, knowledgeable and thorough with her clients, often giving off the feeling that she is working around the clock just for your needs. She met with me several times to help me create what I consider to be the perfect engagement ring. If you are searching for someone to help you design unique and gorgeous jewelry, you will not find anywhere that matches service with quality better than Brittany and Ascot Diamonds."

Luv Mirani

"I don't know where to begin! I cannot imagine giving Liz any other ring than the one you put together. It is absolutely perfect! Thank you so much - she is completely in love with it. You have been such a blessing throughout this whole process and have made it much easier than I know it could have been! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much."

"I don't know of another jewelry company that has a Community Relations department other than Ascot Diamonds. Wanda Holt, Ascot's Director of Community Relations, is an exceptional community contributor as well as private jeweler. Outside of their genuine interest in our local community, their design services are incredible and they will work diligently to create a beautiful piece of jewelry for you – a true "win – win" for everyone."

April Miller

"Thank you so much for all you have done for us. You were so kind, considerate and patient in helping me select the ring for Dee. I learned so much during the process and can't tell you how pleased we both are with the end results. The ring is simply magnificent. You are truly experts. She has received numerous compliments - her friends seem to think that I might be a decent guy after all! This has been one the few times I've spent that much money and actually had a good time doing it! Thanks again."

"Tim Birch and Ascot Diamonds were recommended to me by a friend who had recently purchased an engagement ring through them. I met with Tim and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the industry and his ability to quickly and accurately size up diamonds. I gave Tim a price range that I was comfortable with, and he helped me find a diamond of exceptional quality within this range and without trying to steer me outside of my budget. Honesty and trust go a long way when you're spending this kind of money and I really felt that Tim was being 100% up-front with me. When we found what I was looking for, I was confident that I had purchased an excellent diamond at an excellent price; moreover, that I had been treated extremely fairly throughout the entire process. I would happily recommend Tim Birch and Ascot Diamonds to anyone interested in purchasing fine jewelry for any occasion."

Ryan Blair

Maurice, I just wanted to tell you how excited Brandon and I are to plan our wedding! And, it all started with our visit. It's hard not to stare at my gorgeous ring! I've received so many compliments on it's stunning and elegant design. I'm also thankful for the assistance and education you provided both of us during our visit. I think that most men don't know where to start when it comes to diamond education, insurance, timing, and ring size. You answered all of those questions without him having to ask and it made the experience that much better! Thank you. Sincerely, Carley

This was my first diamond purchase and Maurice at Ascot Diamonds in Dallas spent all the time I needed to explain the different diamond grades, considerations and benefits. Our needs were always his first concern and we never felt pressured in any way. Best of all, the diamonds are competitively priced and the quality of craftsmanship on our gorgeous custom designed ring is superb! The whole experience was wonderful, and my fiance is thrilled! Thank you.!

We met with Maurice Efune in February 2010. We are currently planning a fall wedding, and it all started with our visit to Ascot Diamonds. My fiance and I met with Maurice after finding the Catherine Ryder brand on-line. The engagement ring collection was stunning and I'm in love with my ring! I've received so many compliments on it's unique and elegant design. I'm also thankful for the assistance and education Maurice provided both of us during our visit. I think that most men don't know where to start when it comes to diamond education, insurance, design timing, and ring size. Maurice has been in the business a long time. He made us feel comfortable while providing the information we needed to make an informed decision. We're going back to pick out our bands and I certainly hope that my soon to be husband will continue seeking Maurice's diamond expertise for years to come. We couldn't be happier!
