Hi,
My BF popped the question unexpectedly last month on holidays in New York. Thanks to info from this site (we didn't have a clue where to look for a ring) we ended up getting one in hannikens.
First we tried
-Tiffanys, I though they very overpriced and service was not that great! -Fortunoffs, guy in there was very informative and helpful but they didn't have a great selection.
-Walked along 47th street and went in a few places but most of them felt a bit dodgy and they really gave us the hard sell.
Hannikens was a little hard to find, it’s on 47th street but it’s in a shop with lots of other jewelers who all rent booths. We dealt with Emily who was lovely and very professional. They had a huge selection of rings and we were given lots of time to decide. We picked out the ring, it had to be resized so we popped back and hour later and collected it! I am absolutely delighted with it and am sure there is no way we would have got the same quality of ring here for the same price. They gave us an evaluation of the ring to give to our insurance company for 50% more than we paid.
