Greetings! I have frequented Pricescope steadily over the past few years to gain insight, view ideas, and shop (just now created a member profile). This resource is invaluable to the public in making the best decision, and I am very grateful to all those that contribute. There are many fine merchants with wonderful reputations, and I wanted to take a moment & single one out. Here is a brief summary of my experience working with Steve L. at Dems on a Verragio setting.
My hope was to purchase a Verragio style setting and incorporate a few of the diamonds we already owned. The setting I envisioned ended up falling under the "custom design" umbrella. Steve easily captured my vision of the piece via telephone and email, and got Verragio on the same page. He was fair, clear and kept me in the loop the whole time. The completed rings have surpassed my best hopes! They turned out stunning...although not nearly as stunning as the woman it was created for!
Steve is passionate about his work and takes good care of his patrons. He seems driven by his customers happiness, rather than solely by his wallet. He went above and beyond what I am even capable of stating here in order to make this ring come true for me. I did a lot of research on many Verragio retailers, and decided on Steve at Dems. I found my info through his local BBB, Pricescope and another forum of sorts. I could not find a single person to knock Steve''s character or his business practices. All had the same compliments I do now. I made the right choice and felt contentment from the onset. I can''t thank Steve at Dems enough, as well as Lindsay at Verragio for getting the wheels turning.
Once again, there are many fine merchants that can assist you. I am not in a position to say one is better than the other. I do know I can be extremely picky & demanding (self admitted character flaw) at times, and Steve''s attention to detail was beyond anything I have experienced. He deserves this praise, and has easily earned me as a future customer. I''ll be in touch Steve - and soon! Thanks !
