John Spooner was instrumental in assisting me in deciding on a diamond ring. He was extremely patient and very knowledgeable. We picked the perfect ring and my wife and I are extremely happy! We will definitely be back for a return visit. Thanks John and Team!

As a novice jewelry customer myself, Rich made the process of purchasing an engagement ring a breeze and extremely comfortable. He was patient, educational, and helped me to design a stunning custom piece that my fiance absolutely loves and routinely receives complements on. We have since returned to Safian & Rudolph for our wedding bands as well as additional jewelry and have received the same exceptional service. Looking forward to working with Rich and his team in the future! -Sam & Anastasia

After 36 years if hard wear and tear my wedding band wasnt even round any longer. I did not get it from Safians but have purchased many items and sent future sons in law there for engagement and wedding bands. Sent my ring off to Safian and asked if it could be refinished. MIKE took charge and at a cost of only 135.00 I have my ring back, repaired, round, and looking better than new. Thank you Safian once again for fantastic customer service!

My girlfriend and I came into the store to look at rings in July. Rich helped us out at that point, and we found a beautiful diamond as well as ring setting that she loved. I was not able to purchase the ring at that time, but Rich said that he would be willing to work with me. Many months later, I contacted Rich, and he was able to locate the exact same diamond which had been moved to a partner store.

Rich went above and beyond to help get this ring made on time for the December proposal, and the ring was even more beautiful than I could've expected! My now fiance cannot stop looking at the ring, and neither can I! Thanks, Rich!
