Listening to this book helped to easy off my stress in making a decision regarding diamonds.

Buying a ring with confidence!

I got this audiobook as I am planning to propose sometime this year and had no idea where to start looking for a ring. When I read that a unique engagement ring can be achieved on any budget with the right knowledge, I was sold! I particularly enjoyed learning more about the diamond business and its history. I now feel much more confident about creating a ring that will be special and finding a jeweler to help me with this process. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the market for diamond jewelry of any kind!

Great little book of diamonds!

I didn’t there was SO much to learn about diamonds until I listened to this book. My husband and I picked my engagement ring together and neither of us really knew what we were up to! Although I really love my ring, I still wish I’d listened to this book before picking it out! It would have given me a lot more confidence in choosing and purchasing the right one. Perhaps, this will come in handy again when I get to choose another diamond in the future! 😉

Such A Great Resource!

When I bought my wife's wedding ring, I just winged it and I wish I would have known more. This book would have been a perfect guide. One thing I really enjoyed was the history of diamonds, how they are made, and the diamond business. Such a great resource for those looking to buy an engagement ring.

Great information on finding the perfect ring!

I wish I had more in depth information like this when I went and purchased a ring for my wife. I just went to a mall, spent hours looking at different stores, and finally settled on one I felt she would like. Lucky for me I have good taste and she liked it! If I had been able to do a little more research prior I would have realized more about the clarity, brightness, etc. that plays a key role in selecting a beautiful diamond. With that said I will use this information for when it’s time to give her an upgrade!
