Dream Diamond!! I remember when I was young and my best friend's sister got engaged, she received an emerald cut diamond ring that was stunning. I thought to myself, how elegant and unique, as most engagement rings I had seen were round. I have always liked sharp corners and very symmetrical objects in my environment. So when I met my husband and discussed marriage and engagement ring options, that ring was stored in my dream ring brain archive. It happened to be, that my husband was also thinking along the same lines, (No wonder we have been married for 32 years!) We were living in NYC at the time, so where else to shop for it than at the Diamond District. We found one that has been on my finger since 1990. Forward to 2022, while jewelry browsing during vacation, I saw a ring that became my second dream ring, and yes you guessed it, it is emerald shaped but this one is a radiant cut which I did not know existed. It gives me the best of both worlds with the shape I love, but with an amazing amount of brilliance, due to its 70 facet count verses 57 on an emerald. It was accompanied by side trapezoid diamonds. I was in LOVE!! Then the search began. How can I get as close as possible to this ring I saw at this fancy store without breaking the bank. I had obtained all the GIA specifications and photos, which I subsequently sent to my brother who has been in the jewelry trade for years. During my free time I spent time researching everything I could on a radiant diamond. My search led me to 3 reputable diamond online stores, which was NEWS to me… never knew that was a thing. In the meantime my brother was not having any luck, His diamond wholesalers told him it was very difficult to obtain that diamond cut with the size and carat specifications I wanted. One day I would give up on the idea, another I would rationalize buying the one I had seen in person. I wished I still lived in NYC and could go to the diamond district, so I looked online for NEW York diamond district wholesale. I found Diamond Registry entered my information on their website and called the next day to follow up. Nissan Perla answered phone and was very friendly and funny. I will never forget when he said my name is Nissan LIKE THE CAR!! He subsequently sent me photos and GIA reports of diamonds that met my specifications. I had found my diamond and the possibility of my DREAM Ring was getting closer. Still the apprehension of buying via phone/ online weighed heavy on my logistical brain. Nissan said to me one day, I will make the ring for you, I will ship it to you and you will love it, I promise. and when you have a smile in your face then you pay me… WHAT!! Yes he said if you give me the ok that is what I will do. I agreed and true to his word I now have my DREAM DIAMOND. GIA inscribed and certified. I asked so many questions and contacted him often even when he was on different time zones as he is constantly traveling and he always responded. I will miss talking to him… His right hand person is Aysel who is a sweetheart and very professional and competent. Nissan I have a perpetual smile on my face!!! Thank you Diamond Registry

Because the ending is so much more exciting I will start there. I am absolutely thrilled with the stunning diamond and ring my husband purchased from DR for our anniversary. We had a long time jeweler who was unable to locate a stone anywhere near the brilliance and price that Aysel found for us. We did a lot of research online with other jewelry stores as well, no one came close to the quality of stone. Additionally, I had a band I wanted to match and she was able to quickly see the aspects we wanted to recreate in a custom platinum band. Key factors in our transaction that I appreciate and respect in any business. Our first contact was with Nissan the owner. He was able to assess what we were looking for and relay that information to Aysel. Aysel quickly located a stone that was perfect for what we had outlined with Nissan. Nissan nor Aysel ever tried to upsell us on a more expensive stone or band. We had never been to the actual DR store front in NYC and I didn’t know anyone who had ever purchased from them. At first I was a little nervous, that was a fleeting feeling after speaking with Nissan and Aysel. We will definitely be purchasing from them in the future and we will refer all of our friends and family to them.
