INTA Gems is awesome! The staff is great, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, have AMAZING integrity! My fiancee and I stumbled upon them while we were wandering aimlessly around the jewelry district looking at all the glittering objects, and they were the first ones who didn't try to pressure us into getting something we didn't want. We told them we wanted a ring that incorporated both of our birthstones and they helped us design something completely unique. After the hour or so we spent with them, we told them we'd think about it and we wanted to keep shopping. They completely let us walk out the door after spending that much effort with us and didn't try to guilt trip or pressure us into buying the ring! Obviously we went back to them after checking out some of the other vendors since I found myself comparing all other rings to the ring INTA helped create for us. (and wait, it gets better!)
Steve gave us a great deal on the ring and called me in the middle of making it to let me know that he wasn't happy with the way some of the smaller stones were turning out (for those of you that don't know, gemstones get lighter in color the smaller they're cut). He showed me what the ring looked like with the lighter stones and, because I didn't like the way it looked, he recut a bunch more stones, just to find the 3 that would match the rest of my ring (at no charge!). It turned out absolutely beautiful and I love it!
We just went back to the jewelry district to get our wedding bands. We had an idea for a custom band for my fiancee, and again, INTA spent a bunch of time working with us and had no problem when we walked away to think about the ideas they presented to us. We priced around at some of the other jewelers to see how much they would charge to make what we had in mind, and found that INTA was a little bit more expensive, but we went with them anyways because we trust them to do a great job and take care of us.
Also, the quality of INTA jewelry is a lot better than other jewelers downtown. I've seen rings that my friends have had made at other vendors, and I've noticed that when it comes to details and finishing touches, INTA is exponentially better! The INTA family is definitely a place for everyone to check out if you're looking for anything made with exquisite attention to detail by people who care about making sure you get what you want!
