Happy (un)birthday to ME!
I decided to gift myself an upcoming 50th birthday present... which isn't until Oct. 2026. What began as some casual diamond shopping, quickly became an obsession! AOJ's website is so intuitive and very user friendly. I made myself a really gorgeous ring after carefully selecting a diamond and added it to my cart! I looked at it daily but was feeling shy about making the purchase...also, I figured I had time since my birthday isn't for another year! Well...one day, I logged in and the diamond I had selected sold!! I was devastated and I thought, if I feel that way about this I should not wait for "next time!" I searched until I found a 4+ carat, near perfect round brilliant and I did not wait!!!! I did have some questions - which were handled promptly and professionally and I bought it! I was concerned the band of the setting I wanted would not be substantial enough for a 4-carat diamond. They easily remedied this by increasing the band from 1.8 mm to 2 mm at no extra charge. This was just a no brainer! If you're on the fence, don't be. This has been a wonderful experience, and my ring is g o r g e o u s!
