Hi everyone, first-time poster here, but just had to add to the positive reviews for Mr. Martin Sheffield and USA Certed Diamonds.
I've been searching for an engagement ring for about 1.5 years. This started off with going to the mall and talking to the people at the jewellery stores, where I left feeling pretty turned off (sticker shock mostly!). I realized that I'd have to do some (a lot) of my own research if I was going to get the quality of ring and stone I wanted for a reasonable price. Eventually I found my way here to Pricescope, and found Martin. I cannot say enough how glad I am to have found both Pricescope and Martin!
From the moment I first contacted Martin, I had a sense of confidence that this was a person who was exceptionally knowledgeable and would help me find exactly what I was looking for. Martin was very accommodating of my weird schedule (I'm a student and am not regularly in Toronto) and, over the course of the past 8 weeks we went from searching for a stone to a finished engagement ring! After corresponding first via email and phone calls, Martin called around to his contacts in New York and elsewhere to locate stones that fit my criteria. By the time I made it in to see him in person we'd found what I was looking for - actually a lot more than I was looking for! Initially I was hoping to get ~2 carats but Martin found this 2.54 carat stone for an amazingly low price. I never felt pressured to choose anything I wasn't 100% satisfied with and felt totally at ease when Martin went over the details and examined each stone with me in his office, helping me to determine which stone was the best. Once we found the stone, Martin also connected me with an excellent jeweller who, like Martin, went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just as I envisioned it. The photo below really does not do it justice.
I can't be happier with the way the ring turned out and the ease of this entire process. Martin was straightforward, no-nonsense, and told me everything I needed to know (and confirmed a lot of what I'd read myself) to confidently select a stone. I highly recommend working with Martin if you are looking for an excellent diamond, responsive service, and an amazing bang for your buck.
