In 2024, Brian R selected a pear shape salt and pepper crown solitare engagement ring in 18K yellow gold with a satin finish. “I came into Diamonds Forever recently on a mission. I needed an engagement ring, and I needed it fast! I was planning to propose that weekend in Hawaii, and honestly, I wasn’t sure it was possible. But luckily, Jenny and the whole Diamonds Forever team came through! They had an incredible selection of salt and pepper diamond engagement rings. I found the perfect one! I still can’t believe how smoothly it all went! Jenny even gave me something to make the ring fit in case it was too big for the proposal. After returning from Hawaii, we brought the ring to get it sized properly. The proposal went perfectly, and my fiancée is obsessed with the ring. I can’t thank Jenny and the Diamonds Forever girls enough for making this happen. They went above and beyond seriously, and I left with the perfect ring just in time. If you want salt and pepper engagement rings or a fantastic experience, these ladies are the best!”

In 2023, Bond D designed a solitaire engagement ring with an Asscher rose cut salt and pepper diamond set into 14K white gold: “I’m so happy to share with you all the amazing experience I had at the ring store I found online. After visiting several local stores in San Diego and browsing on the world wide internet, I found that Diamonds Forever has the best selection of engagement rings for any budget and taste. I wanted to surprise her with a ring that would make her say yes without hesitation. The ring store had a very helpful and friendly staff who guided me through the process of choosing the perfect ring. They showed me different styles, shapes, colors, and sizes of diamonds and bands. They also explained to me the meaning of the four Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat. I learned a lot from them and I felt confident in my decision. I finally picked a ring that was stunning and elegant, just like my fiancé. It had a round brilliant salt and pepper cut diamond with small diamonds on the band. It sparkled like a star in the night sky. It was the ring of her dreams. One of the coolest experiences was they made a 3D image of the ring prior to starting the project. This helped tremendously with making sure it was exactly what she wanted. It was the best day of my life and I owe it all to the ring store. They made my proposal unforgettable and they made my fiancé the happiest woman on earth. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an engagement ring. T hey are awesome and they deserve a 5-star review. Thank you, ring store, for making my dreams come true. You are the best!”
