I can’t say enough about Rick and his team that hasn’t already been said. I went to a ton of the local Houston spots to look for engagement rings. I had one bad experience after another. This included one particularly bad experience at Robins Brothers where I was led to believe I HAD to open a line of credit in order to proceed. I got desperate and searched “diamonds” on Yelp. Uptown Diamonds came up first. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t skeptical. If the reviews are too good to be true you have to be careful. However, I immediately felt at ease with Rick. He made me feel like his top priority. He listened to my concerns and was respectful of my budget. Also he showed me some other cool projects he was involved with including other engagement rings, drum sticks, and super bowl rings…very cool!
From day 1 he helped design a custom made ring. He gave me light reading to become a more informed buyer and never once pressured me to purchase anything. I came in to approve every step along the way! When I finally came in to pick up the finished product I was blown away. It was better than I imagined. After I proposed, we took the ring back to be resized and Rick did it very quickly.
It was such a cool process from the CAD design, to the 3D wax printer, to picking excellent cut diamonds, and finally the hand made ring. What an experience!
I know I forgot something but this was a great experience and my fiancé loves the rock! I can’t wait to work with Rick on the wedding bands.
