Choosing a Diamond Ring, what to spend???

Shopping for a ring?  Where to begin.... it can be daunting.  Choose the diamond?  Or the setting?  Which goes first, the chicken or the egg.  Invarioubly the best thing someone can do is to set a budget. 

Often times, when I ask a customer their budget, I think maybe they are wondering what size the sale is.... for me.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  After 15 years of selling all shapes, sizes and price ranges of diamond rings,  my biggest pleasure is to see what is the best ring we can come up with, within that budget.  Whether its $2000. or $45,000.

Sometimes the budget is firm.... sometimes not.  Either way, a ballpark will only help us(or the jeweler you are dealing with), and more importantly, YOU.

Yes, our website is almost up!

After a year of working on our website....its finally up.  It's http://www.frantzdiamonds.com/.
For those of you on the internet that aren't familiar with the store, it was started by me,
Sherry Frantz in 1994, in Roanoke, Virginia.

O.K., so we live on the East Coast.... and I decided to put an ad on Craigslist to find
a web designer.  Honestly, because there weren't very many in the phone book where
we live!

So.... Ken from http://www.blaskodesign.com/ has been awesome to work with.  Thanks Ken!

O.K., so he's not done and neither are we. But its a start!
