Happy Stories From our customers

Sure, we all want a dazzling stunner of a ring. But often comfort is an afterthought…until you start wearing it! And if you’re wearing a wedding band, my friend, you’re wearing it for a looong time (at least we hope!) So here are a few tips to finding a wedding band or engagement ring that fits comfortably and well.

1. The inner shape. A comfortable wedding band usually has soft, rounded edges. There should be a slight curve on the inside ring which increases comfortability. This doesn’t mean that a flatter band always means discomfort – a well-constructed flat band can feel equally comfortable. Hence the importance of trying one of our wedding bands on in our Scottsdale, Arizona showroom!

2. A comfort fit ring. These rings are not lacking in style; they are simply constructed with fit in mind. Comfort fit wedding bands are perfect for people with an active lifestyle or hands-on jobs.

3. A good fitting. When you try on a wedding band, it’s important to keep it on for a while. Often rings feel just fine at first, but as you probably know, your finger sizes change slightly throughout the day. Spend some time with your wedding band. Move your fingers about. Even if you just notice the ring on your finger, it could be a problem for some. It may not hurt per se; it could just feel too weighty or cumbersome. The idea is to find a band that is a natural extension of you and your lifestyle so spending some time wearing it before purchasing is a smart move.

Recently online diamond retailer sold a $300,000 diamond via its mobile application. While it may seem like the next wave in jewelry purchasing, darker implications remain. What about sales tax? Or other underhanded sales techniques that could go unnoticed when making a high-end purchase over the phone? Then of course, there’s the practical question: Are people really prepared to make such big ticket purchases via a mobile phone ap?

Blue Nile recently sold a $300,000 diamond via its mobile app, the company confirmed to JCK.

Spokesman John Baird told Internet Retailer: “While an extraordinary purchase, large jewelry purchases, running from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, via smartphones happen quite frequently.”

Blue Nile has said its mobile app drives 25 percent of the company’s traffic.

The large purchase shows the growing power of smartphones in retail. A recent survey said that some two-thirds of smartphone or tablet owners have used their devices to make purchases.
