My fiancée and
I
began
ring
searching
roughly
6
months
ago
while
I
was
living
in
California.
We
decided
to
stop
by
M.J.
Miller
&
Co.
during
a
stay
in
Barrington
early
on
in
our
search
due
to
the
formative
reputation
the
store
has
within
the
community.
Knowing
we
were
at
the
beginning
of
the
research
phase
and
not
at
all
concerned
that
we
wouldn't
be
spending
any
money
that
particular
day,
Marc
sat
us
down
and
patiently
taught
us
an
enormous
amount
about
diamonds,
metals,
and
jewelry
design.
We
looked
at
stones
of
all
sizes
and
varieties
and
left
feeling
like
1)
we
had
a
great
resource
in
Marc
and
2)
we
had
a
better
understanding
of
the
search
criteria
we
would
use
moving
forward.
Over
the
next
few
months
my
fiancée
and
I
exchanged
design
notes
and
eventually
I
sent
a
number
of
these
over
to
Marc
for
review.
When
it
was
time
to
make
a
purchase,
I
asked
what
we
could
find
or
design
would
match
our
goals
in
an
engagement
ring
and
he
quickly
responded
with
a
few
spectacular
options.
Price
was
comparable
to
online
distributors
but
quality
was
outstanding
and
after
seeing
the
particular
stone
that
we
agreed
was
the
frontrunner,
it
was
clear
that
this
was
an
exceptional
diamond.
It's
really
hard
to
compare
diamonds
online
but
when
you
have
a
team
of
experts
like
those
at
MJ
Miller
evaluating
the
more
subjective
aspects
of
a
stone,
you
get
a
product
that
has
shape,
sparkle,
and
brilliance
that
are
hard
to
measure
and
communicate
with
quantitative metrics
alone. We
made
the
right
choice.
Once
we
had
the
ring
design
in
motion,
Peter
worked
patiently
with
us
to
adjust
as
necessary.
His
craftsmanship
is
exceptional
and
his
attention
to
detail
is
fantastic.
When
I
arrived
at
the
store
to
pick
up
the
ring,
Marc,
Peter,
and
Michael
(the
owner)
all
came
down
to
say
good
luck
and
ensure
all
details
were
addressed
(from
diamond
and
ring
to
appraisal
and
GIA
lab
report).
They
even
followed
up
with
a
note
after
the
engagement.
I
would
highly
recommend
this
store
and
team
to
anyone
looking
for
jewelry
and
we
will
certainly
be
back
for wedding
bands
and
more!
