diamond education,” Murray said.
W.P. Shelton Jewelers specializes in well-cut
colorless diamonds that have been rated under a GIA diamond grading system. The cut of the stone, not the shape, enhances its beauty.
“We learned years ago we needed to set ourselves apart from other stores on what we sell. So we started selling well-cut colorless diamonds,”
Reed said. “My motto is ‘Life is too short for ugly diamonds.’”
Customers who select their diamonds from Sheltons have the option to trade it in on a larger stone as their income allows.
Rings that have a halo of diamonds around the center diamond placed in settings of white gold or rose gold are trending right now. While the round center diamond remains a favorite, couples are liking the marquis and princess cuts. Rather than have the engagement and wedding rings to be a matching set, some couples are going for the smaller stackable bands — one might have a twisted design, one be in rose gold and the other in white gold.
“It’s very rewarding. You know they have the best quality product they can get, and you helped them make the selection,” Polite said. “The couple is making a big commitment, and they are confident with you to help with their selection.”
