Excellent experience all around

by CraigInChicago at Citysearch

I was looking to do something special for my engagement on the ring side. I was referred to Ethan Lord through one of my co-workers. Her husband had designed her ring there and had raved about the experience.

I came in shortly after that and met with the owner of the company who walked me through their business and production facilities to give me an idea of how a ring was made all the way from the original drawings. This was a really fun and interesting perk as I really had no idea how it was done.

I was soon in touch with Larry who operates the Ethan Lord office.

The ring I had in mind wasn't really something too common in the engagement ring space. All I had was a lousy drawing on a piece of printer paper as I'm no artist. Larry turned this over to his ring designers who drew it up in CAD for me to see before moving on further. The computer rendered images were exactly what I was looking for. After confirming the drawings were what I wanted they moved on with creating the ring for me with the stones I had chosen with Larry's help. I next got to see a wax replica of the ring in order to confirm 100% that was what I wanted before they actually produced it with the metal. This gave a great idea of what the ring was actually going to look like size wise. After this, they actually made the ring for me.

Another huge plus here was that me, though I had done a little research, I was no diamond expert. Larry took the time to walk me through all of the necessary information I needed to know to make an informed decision about the stone I chose for the ring. He even gave me a short lesson on how to loupe a stone (look for the problems in it with the Jeweler's magnifying glass).

Not only did the ring come out exactly as I envisioned it, but it appraised for 50% more than I paid for it which, though I have no intention of selling it, proved I got far more than what I paid for.

I recently went back and my fiancée and I ordered both of our wedding bands here and again the process went along just as smoothly.

I can't say enough good things about Ethan Lord. If you need any piece of jewelry, go here and you will NOT be disappointed.

  • Pros: Great Service, Great Price, Great Experience

Best place for engagement rings!

by ssasena at Citysearch

My fiance designed my engagement ring at Ethan Lord last fall. He raved about the experience he had working with Larry. Larry will shoot you straight and really help you find the best ring for your budget. The great thing about Ethan Lord is that you can completely design your ring exactly they way you want it - and it's really easy! The ring turned out even better than we had envisioned it. We also went back to Ethan Lord for our wedding bands, and again Larry exceeded our expectations. He was able to custom make my band to match my engagement ring exactly. I couldn't be happier with our experience with Larry at Ethan Lord. Overall we had great customer service, great value, and great quality!

Amazing customer service

by CelestialAxis at Citysearch

I was searching online for an engagement ring to give my fiance ever since he proposed to me. I finally found Ethan Lord online and the perfect ring. Customer service was very pleasant, and they kept in contact with me regarding my ring being on back-order, then shipped it to me sooner than expected. Absolutely perfect experience. I even blogged about it! Check it out if interested in more details at:

If only all my wedding vendors were like Ethan Lord...

by rs219 at Citysearch

I really don't even know where to begin. I found a design that I loved online, and was looking for a place to replicate this design in the metal of my choice. I called a TON of custom jewelry places and they were all either too much money, or not unable to reach my deadline. Then I luckily came across Ethan Lord. Their team worked with me to create not only my wedding band, but my wife's as well. I cannot say enough about their professional work ethic and their attention to detail. I have already started recommending them to other friends of mine. I was especially nervous to have somebody create my wedding bands that I couldn't sit down an talk with face to face (I live in the New York City Area), but Larry made the entire process so easy with e-mails and phone calls, that I honestly think it worked out even better than having to go somewhere all the time. Honestly, the entire process was fantastic and I found myself saying, "If only everybody else we're working with for the wedding was more like Larry, planning our wedding would be much easier!!!"

  • Pros: Amazing Customer Service, Even More Amazing Final Product
  • Cons: I never got to see the storefront myself

Excellence in everything that they do.

by jshamrock5 at Citysearch

I went to Ethan Lord for the first time just over a year ago when I was looking to buy and engagement ring. I was very nervous and also clueless. I had a rough design of what my wife wanted but really had no idea what to look for or how to make it perfect. Luckily, I couldn't have found a more friendly, professional, and genuine place to go to make a purchase of that magnitude. Bernie and his staff at Ethan Lord are top notch. They take great pride in everything they make and truly want it to be a special thing. The ring that they designed and made on site is something that even a clueless guy like myself was really blown away by. I also went there to get the wedding bands done and of course received the same care and attention to detail. I have recommended and will continue to refer all of my friends and family to Ethan Lord.

  • Pros: Professional and Genuine
