Genuine top class Jewelers

by BMAC7

When chosing my engagement ring for my Fiance , i had searched the city far and wide, from shopping Mall's to main street stores and most of the shops at Jewelers row downtown. I found that when i steped into M Martin's store it was a total different experience. There i met Mr Steve Martin who was willing to spend time showing me different things that i had not seen or heard of at the other stores. He was an absolute gentleman and acted like a true professional. When i seen the final product after it had been made i was very happy as i think i got a fabulous deal, a ring with a excellent cut in diamond, clarity and grading. I would recommend M Martin jewelers as a top class establishment with wonderful staff and will sure be using them in the future.

• Pros: Guaranteed a true, honest and professional service.
• Cons: None!!!

The best!

by gliot1

23 years ago I bought my then fiance (now ex-wife..lol) a ring from M. Martin. It was beautiful and people routinely stopped her in the hall or at the store or on the street to tell her what a beautiful ring it was! I took this ring at times to be inspected at your normal mall jewlery store and they too commented on the beauty and told me they couldn't even get a stone like it! I was concerned enough that each time I got the ring back I would inspect it through a lupe to ensure it was still our stone! Steve taught me so much about buying a stone, and taught me the most important aspect of a jeweler...trust! I now am again pondering "giving it a go" and unlike many others here will be going to M. Martin first and I imagine last to buy my next engagement ring. Save me a good one, Steve!

• Pros: You will get twice the ring for half the price; jewelry stores confirmed!
• Cons: No fancy chairs or decor....(who cares)

Very Educational

by therickgwb

When looking for an engagement ring, I walked in here off the street with no referral or appointment. Mr. Martin sat me down and spent an hour teaching me about diamonds and pulling out some he happened to have in the store. He was patient, intelligent, and very pleasant to learn from.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize how crucial having an appointment at a lot of these stores was because they have to pull diamonds in from other stores they sell through. As I was under some time constraints to essentially pick something out that day, I ended up buying the diamond from another store that I had made an appointment with (not to take anything away from them, because it worked out great). Nevertheless, my experience with Mr. Martin was so pleasant I thought it was only fair to encourage everyone to check him out when you are in the market.

• Pros: Nice guy, good teacher
• Cons: Appointment necessary if you want to see anything
