Looking for an engagement ring is stress enough if you're looking for something specific. After visiting every jewelry store in South Coast Plaza (to get an idea of what I wanted), I ventured out to the jewelry district in downtown LA. We met many a merchant eager to sell us something we didn't actually want, were escorted up to private offices and shown stones that in our opinion were quite inferior in quality than we (my fiance and I) were looking for. Steve at INTA Gems was just amazing, no joke. There's no pressure in the sale, the family owned business is all about helping you find what YOU want. Steve was patient and helpful and found us the perfect stone we were endlessly searching for. We got a great deal and 2 yrs later I am still happy as ever about it. My husband also bought me a beautiful diamond pendant and gorgeous earrings from Steve that truly outshine the rest. If you're looking for gemstones of any kind or a great diamond, you have to check out INTA Gems.
