"Mr. Bennett, I am so very pleased with the 1.03 CT. clarity enhanced cushion cut center diamond that you recommended to be set into my fiancee's engagement ring. The clarity and color of the center diamond are so outstanding, and its measurements are so much bigger than what they would have been in a round diamond. And I am so happy at the great price you gave me on the center diamond. It was thousands of dollars less than I had quoted to me everywhere, both in stores and on the internet. I will recommend you to all of my fiends."

"Don, the diamond ring that you made up for my wife for Christmas is out of this world! The 14K white gold semi-mounting you recommended, with the 28 invisibly set princess cut diamonds down the two sides of the ring, showed off the .32 CT. marquise center diamond so great; it made the center diamond look so much larger! You gave me a super low price, and I really do appreciate it. And you set my wife's 1/3 CT. center diamond and gave me an appraisal for the new ring at no charge. Thank you so much."

"Mr. Bennett, it is such a pleasure doing business with you. You are so very professional, so very knowledgeable, yet so very personable. Your information and insight about diamond quality - clarity, color, and cut - was very helpful. You explained to me about a diamond's measurements, its length-to-width ratio, and how important this related to its visual size. No one else, not even online, explained that to me. You gave me an amazing price for the diamond I purchased, and you set the diamond into a beautiful ring and gave me a great deal on the matching wedding band. I just can't thank you enough about how wonderful my experience was."

"Don, I am ecstatic as to how gorgeous the new ring is that I purchased from you last week. And I am so pleased as to the total buying experience I had with you. When I first communicated with you via your internet website and on the phone, you readily accepted the fact that I wanted a center diamond no less than a 2.00 CT. in size, no less than a "VVS₂" in clarity, no less than an "F" in color, and no less than a "1B" in cut. I am so glad that you recommended the 2.03 CT. radiant cut diamond that you found for me at such a great low price. With its additional facets, it had so much more brilliance than the two emerald cut diamonds you showed me. And your suggestion that I select the platinum semi-mounting with 20 channel set princess cut side diamonds totaling 1.75 CT. was really welcomed, as those side diamonds matched the brilliance of the 2 CT. radiant cut center diamond so well. I am so very pleased - with the center diamond, with the side diamonds, with the style of the ring, and best of all, the price! You saved me thousands of dollars, Don. I am so glad I found you on the internet."

"Don, as you know, this is my third buying experience with you, and again, I am so pleased, as I was with my two previous purchases. I told you the amount I wanted to spend on the 1 CT. total weight pair of stud earrings for my wife, you got on the horn, and had several pairs to show me, all within my budgeted price range. I like the fact that you always stay within my price range and always explain to me the quality of the diamonds - their clarity, their color, and their cut. I really do appreciate that. And, as always, you gave me such a great price. Thanks, Don. Great customer service."

"Don,

You are God sent!!! That is an amazing price for an amazing bridal set! Let's do it! What do you need from me to get started? Thank you so much for all the time you have invested in choosing the perfect diamonds for these two rings, that means more to me than you know! Since I am a soldier in a combat zone in Afghanistan, may I send you one half of the total price of the bridal set so that you start manufacturing it now, and then pay you the balance in full when I return on leave to Ft. Stewart in Hinesville and take delivery of the two rings around the first or second of October? Thank you."

"Mr. Bennett:

I had been looking for an engagement ring for a couple of months when I came across your internet website. You duplicated the exact design that I wanted in 14K white gold and found me a center diamond that was exteremely brilliant for the amount of money that I paid. I would like to extend a hand of gratitude for helping me find the best diamond for the money I had. On top of the diamond you then surpassed my expectations by setting the stone for free! And all of this was done over the internet via a few emails and a few telephone calls. I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much."

"Mr. Don, I just wanted to say wow and thank you for making my engagement ring. You made everything go so smoothly. I cannot stop looking at how absolutely beautiful it is! I have had it for only a few weeks and have had so many compliments on the ring already. The prices and quality of your merchandise cannot be beat. As you know, my fiancee' spent several weeks shopping online and looking at engagement rings in jewelry stores in the Martinsburg area. I am so glad that he found your website online. After I received this gorgeous ring and was told where he purchased it, I went online and looked at your website. I was very impressed with your diamond knowledge and expertise. Chris told me that you were so helpful (via your emails and phone calls) in finding him the perfect diamond at the perfect price. It is so big and beautiful. I would recommend you to anybody for their jewelry purchases, and my fiancee' plans to buy future gifts from you. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Mr. Bennett, Roger gave me this beautiful three diamond anniversary ring. I was breathless when I first saw it. It was gorgeous! Thank you for making such a beautiful ring. It is so comfortable that I don't know I'm wearing it until the light hits the three diamonds. Wow! Everyone has been stunned by it. Roger explained to me that you saved him so much money by selecting a 1 5/8 CT. center and two matched 5/8 CT. side diamonds, all clarity enhanced, to come up with the 3 CT. total diamond weight that he wanted. He told me that everyone else, both in jewelry stores out here in Washington and online, tried to sell him a 3 CT. anniversary ring with a 2 CT. center diamond and two matched 1/2 CT. side diamonds for thousands of dollars more. Roger will buy diamonds from you, and only you in the future. Thank you again for all your care in making my ring."

"Don, I am so glad that I found you online. I had looked in jewelry stores here in southwest Louisiana (Lake Charles, Lafayette, even gone to Baton Rouge) and in east Texas (Orange, Beaumont, all the way to Houston) and no one was able to do what I wanted to do for my wife's anniversary at a price I could afford. I couldn't find anyone online, until I came acros your website. After I looked at your online website and saw that you specialized in loose diamonds and designing custom made jewelry, I decided to call you on the phone. I am so glad that I did. I sent you my wife's diamond engagement ring, and you made up a diamond wedding band that contained ten matched round diamonds totaling 1 CT., and every one of the ten diamonds matched every one of the side diamonds in my wife's original engagement ring. And you saved me hundreds of dollars, plus no sales tax. Thank you for working so hard to get the ring to me in time so I could present it to my wife on our anniversary date. You are great! I am so pleased that I found you online and that I made my purchase with you."

"Mr. Bennett: Today I received the most beautiful engagement ring I have ever seen! It is perfect in every way possible. My fiancee explained to me how he found you on the internet, he told me of the emails you exchanged about the design of the ring, and you suggested the round side diamonds channel-set in the antique filligree design with the channel set, graduated straight baguette diamonds on each side of the 1 CT. marquise center. You told him how unique this design would look and that it would be a one-of-a-kind design that I would just love. You were so right! I get so many compliments on it. Everyone where I work is so amazed at the sizes of the diamonds, their very high quality, and the excellent, detailed workmanship of the design! Thank you so much for making me a believer in great customer and satisfaction again. Your business definitely deserves an A+++ rating."

"Mr. Don: I am so pleased with the 3 diamond anniversary ring that I received in the mail from you today. It is simply gorgeous! And the 3 round diamonds are so much larger and so much better in quality than any of the similar styles at which my fiancee and I looked in jewelry stores in Albany, GA, Valdosta, GA, Dothan, AL, Panama City, FL, Tallahassee, FL, and Jacksonville, FL. We knew we wanted a 3 diamond anniversary ring with a total diamond weight in the neighborhood of 2-to-2 1/2 CT., but everywhere we looked, we were shown either rings thousands of dollars more than our budget or diamonds of not very good quality. I am so glad that my grandmother told me about you. I went online to your website, sent you an email and told you what I was looking for. I was very impressed and extremely pleased with the ways in which you could create a distinctively unique diamond anniversary ring for me by using a .95 CT. clarity enhanced center round diamond, 2 perfectly matched .55 CT. each clarity enhanced side round diamonds, and 6 round diamonds weighing .03 CT. each down the sides of the band of the ring. You explained to me how this would give me the 2 1/4 CT. total diamond size that I wanted, and that the 3 clarity enhanced diamonds woulds give me the big, beautiful diamonds at a price I could afford! You were so right! The ring is gorgeous! My fiancee loves it. She gets so many compliments on it. We will definitely come back to you for a contoured wedding band when we set our wedding date in a few months, as well as a wedding band for me. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends. Thanks again, Mr. Don."

"I'd like to say a big thanks for working with me to create the engagement ring of my dreams for my fiancee. I knew that she wanted a rectangular shaped diamond with small diamonds around it in a "halo style" design with an antique vintage style look on the sides, and I knew how much I could afford to spend on the total ring, but that was all that I knew. I knew nothing about a diamond's shape, measurements, clarity, color, or cutting grade. All of the salespeople with whom I talked, both in jewelry stores and online, gave me no satisfaction at all. All they wanted was to sell me what they had in stock at prices more than I could afford to spend. You came up with perfect ring for me. You suggested a cushion cut clarity enhanced center diamond weighing .94 CT., an "elongated" stone that measured 6.59 x 5.56 m/m, surrounded by 13 small round brilliant cut diamonds weighing .05 CT. each totaling .65 CT. in a "halo" design, with a "split" vintage, antique style "band" going down the sides to the bottom. You drew me a "sketch" of the ring and since I was a prospective client who lived out of state and who didn't have the time to come to Savannah, GA to examine the ring, you sent me this "sketch" via an email attachment. I fell in love with the design the minute I saw the sketch. I am still in a state of shock now that I received the finished ring in the mail from you last week and presented it to my fiancee. She loves it! Everyone where she works compliments her and tells her how beautiful it is. And I still find it hard to believe that I was able to buy such a gorgeous diamond engagement ring and save thousands of dollars by finding your website on the internet. I will get back in touch with you for a matching diamond wedding band. Thanks, again."

"I am so impressed with your fast service, quality work, and reasonable prices. I am so glad that a friend of mine told me about you and gave me your internet website address. I was getting very frustrated looking in all the jewelry stores in the Louisville, KY area, as I knew what I wanted in a diamond wedding band that would match very well the marquise engagement solitaire ring I purchased for her this past Christmas. You explained to me, in easy-to-understand terminology, all about length-to-width ratio in marquise shapes of diamonds, how important it was to match marquise diamonds in clarity, color, and cut. No one in the Louisville, KY area did that - not in jewelry stores and not online. You suggested that you set 2 matched marquise side diamonds - 1 on each side of my fiancee's marquise solitaire engagement ring, and furnish a matching diamond wedding band with 5 marquise diamonds, so that the 5 matching marquise diamonds in the wedding band "line up" perfectly with the 2 side diamonds in the engagement ring. I am elated! I received my fiancee's engagement ring back in the same package with the new 5 marquise diamond wedding band. Both are gorgeous! They match perfectly! Both she and I are so happy with them. They are beautiful! I must confess that I was very nervous about ordering through the internet, particularly since I live out of state, but I was so impressed with your professionalism and expertise over the past several decades and the fact that I felt so comfortable talking with you on the phone, I went ahead and gave you the order. I am so glad I did. I am going to tell all my friends about you and let them know there is a way to get the kind of jewelry we love but have a hard time getting here. Thanks again and know I will be a life long customer who will gladly pass the word that you are out there!"

"Hello. I purchased a pair of diamond stud earrings from you for my girlfriend's birthday. I wanted to make sure that I bought the very best quality diamonds, as well as the biggest diamonds, that I could afford. So I started shopping around. I looked at diamond stud earrings in all the department stores, all the chain jewelry stores in the malls, and in all the independent jewelry stores all over town. I even looked online. Until I found you, I was not at all pleased with all of my efforts. The diamond earrings at the department stores were all very poor quality, and those at the jewelry stores were way too small in size for their high asking prices, even on sale! I am so glad I heard about you. Someone told me about your website; I went online to your website, and I was very impressed. We exchanged a few emails, and I called you on the phone to discuss what I was looking for, and how much I wanted to spend. We set up an appointment, and I came by to talk with you. Unlike anyone else, you took the time to explain all the facts about diamonds - their clarity, color, cut, and carat weight. You helped me make an informed, buying decision, and you saved me hundreds of dollars in the process. I surprised my girlfriend with these diamond stud earrings on her birthday, and she absolutely loved them. We are exteremely happy with your quality, selection, and service. Everyone who has seen these diamond earrings wanted to know where we purchased it. I will definitely suggest you to everyone I know. Thanks a ton!"

"Mr. Bennett: I want to take this opportunity to thank you for making my purchase of an engagement ring such a pleasureable experience. I didn't know anything about buying a diamond, nor about what style I should have it set into. And none of the salespeople in the jewelry stores in which I looked in Brunswick, GA, St. Simons, GA, Kingsland, GA, Fernandina Beach, FL, and Jacksonville, FL helped me make an informed, intelligent buying decision. You did, Mr. Bennett. I found out about you by typing in the words: "loose diamonds and engagement rings in Brunswick, GA", and your website came up. I spent a lot of time perusing your website and was particularly impressed with your educational background and your decades of knowledge, expertise, and experience selling diamonds to retail jewelers and consumers. When I first called you on the phone, you referred me to the "Diamond Grading" section of your website (which I read extensively), and you sent me your free informational booklet: "All You Need to Know About Diamonds." Then you referred me to the "Designer Jewelry" section of your website, which presented to me 32 pages of designer engagement ring styles. From there, my buying experience was a cakewalk in the park. I told you the total amount that I wanted to spend on the complete engagement ring, we set up an appointment for me to meet with you in Savannah, GA, I drove up to Savannah, GA, met with you, made an informed, intelligent buying decision on a loose, high quality center diamond (from a selection of several diamonds) and also chose a gorgeous semi-mounting style of engagement ring from a selection of several styles you had for me to choose from. And you set the center diamond I selected into the semi-mounting I chose, and sized the ring to fit her finger - at no charge - within the long lunch hour I took while you were doing the work. And you saved me thousands of dollars in the process. I will tell all my friends about you. Thank you so much."

"Don: Clyde and I are so very pleased with the oval shape diamond pendant that you made up for our granddaughter for her graduation. And the both of us are so glad that you suggested the oval shape diamond that weighed 1.72 CT., rather than the 1 CT. princess cut diamond that we thought that we wanted. We wanted a big diamond for our granddaughter, and the clarity enhanced oval diamond's measurements of 8.43 x 6.45 m/m were so much bigger than the 1 CT. princess cut's measurements of 5.5 x 5.5 m/m, so we had to go with the oval shape diamond. And you gave us such a great low price for such a much larger diamond! And it looked so beautiful set in that 14K white gold pendant mounting with the 8 prongs holding the oval diamond so securely. Our granddaughter just loves it. She loves the 1.0 m/m diamond cut rope chain, too. Thanks ever so much."

"Mr. Bennett, my wife and I have been deployed back to Baghdad, Iraq again for our second tour of duty. We still talk about how I first sent you an email attachment showing you a picture of a ladies' bridal set that Zales had on their website in 14K yellow gold with a 1 CT. round center diamond, asking you if you could make that same style in 18K yellow gold with a 1 CT. princess cut center diamond, and with a man's 18K yellow gold wedding band to match. You answered our original email within 24 hours with a price quote several thousands of dollars less for the ladies' bridal set, plus telling us that you could make up a man's matching diamond wedding band with a total diamond weight of 1 CT. in 18K yellow gold. And you told us that you could have all 3 rings ready for delivery when we left the combat zone in Baghdad, Iraq and arrived in Fort Stewart, in Hinesville, GA in 3 weeks! You had your manufacturing jeweler/diamond cutter in Los Angeles start work manufacturing our 3 diamond rings even before our deposit check that we sent from Baghdad, Iraq reached you. That was such great customer service! You received the 3 rings from your manufacturing jeweler/diamond cutter on time, you set the 1 CT. princess cut center diamond and had the 3 rings ready to deliver to us - on time - when we arrived in Savannah, GA. We were ecstatic when we saw the 3 rings. Her bridal set is just gorgeous! She just loves the 1 CT. princess cut center with straight baguette diamonds and princess cut side diamonds. And I love the way you made my man's 18K diamond matching wedding band so wide and heavy; I really like the double row of invisibly set princess cut diamonds in the center. We both are so very pleased - with your quality, with your workmanship, and with your great customer service. We will tell all of our fellow soldiers in Iraq about you. Thank you so much."

"Mr. Don, I just wanted to let you know how happy, pleased, and satisfied my fiancee, Mary, was when I surprised her with the beautiful diamond engagement ring I bought from you last week. She can't stop telling me how gorgeous it is and how everyone who sees it rants and raves about it. I really do appreciate all of your help, advice, and expertise when I was in your office looking at the loose diamonds you individually chose for me to select from those within my price range. You explained to me all about a diamond's clarity, its color, cut, and carat weight, things I knew absolutely nothing about. And you showed me how I could saved hundreds of dollars and still get a very beautiful diamond. I am so glad that Pete recommended you to me. I will be coming back to you for all my future jewelry purchases."

"Don, Daniel and I are so very pleased with the platinum diamond solitaire engagement ring we purchased from you. We liked the way you found for us the perfect 1.02 CT. round brilliant cut diamond we were looking for, and that you never gave up searching for the exact style of the "6 prong tulip head" that I had on the original ring that was stolen. And you did find that exact "6 prong tulip head" style and knife edge shank for me in all platinum. And you gave us such a great low price on the complete ring! We really do appreciate it. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. Thank you so much."

"Don, my wife was so excited when she opened the ring box on Christmas day; she couldn't believe how beautiful the diamond anniversary ring was that you made up special order for me. When I first contacted you by email after looking at your website online, I knew that what I wanted was going to have to be made up special order, as I had looked in all of the jewelry stores in the Chicago, IL area, every jeweler told me that no jewelry manufacturing company made such a ring! When I sent you my original email, you told me that: yes, you could make up a 7 diamond anniversary wedding band, but the 7 oval shape diamonds, each weighing 3/4 CT., had to match within 1/10 of a millimeter in length, in width, and in depth, as well as match within 1 grade in clarity, color, and cut. You sorted through 15 oval shape loose diamonds - all 3/4 CT. each - to find me 7 diamonds that matched perfectly, and then had your manufacturing jeweler hand craft and custom make a 14K two-tone mounting to take these 7 oval shape diamonds. And you even exceeded this exceptional personal service by sending me the 7 (individual) diamond grading reports, one for each of the 7 oval shape diamonds, required by my insurance company to insure this ring under our homeowner's insurance. You did all of this in record time, Don; I first contacted you on December 7th; you sent it by UPS on December 23rd, the day before Christmas Eve. She loves the ring. Thank you for doing such a great job, making up such a beautiful ring, and giving me such a low price! I will recommend you to all my friends."

"Mr. Bennett: My marriage proposal went perfectly. We drove down to Tallahassee, FL and went to The Silver Slipper for a romantic dinner in one of their secluded, private booths. She got so excited when I presented the engagement ring to her. She just loved it. It fit perfectly. She just kept looking at it and telling me how beautiful it was and that it was exactly what she wanted! I am so glad that you recommended the "cathedral" style of solitaire mounting for the loose princess cut I selected from those that you showed m when I met with you in Savannah, GA. The "cathedral" mounting shows off the diamond so much better. And you really saved me a bunch of money by recommending that I go with a loose princess cut diamond that was "elongated" (with measurements of 5.63 x 4.94 m/m) in one that weighed .91 CT. in a clarity enhanced diamond, as these factors saved me thousands of dollars! No one in Albany, GA, Americus, GA, Valdosta, GA, Dothan, AL, or Tallahassee, FL made those suggestions to me. Thank you so much for saving me money and making my fiancee so very happy."

"Don: I am so very pleased with the two diamond designs that you made up for me. I was so upset when I lost 1 of my 2 diamond hoop earrings; not only was it my favorite piece of diamond jewelry, but I was told by the jeweler from whom I bought it that it was a discontinued design and was no longer available. You made my day when you told me that you could take the one diamond hoop earring I still had, carve a wax mold from it, cast a pair of 14K yellow gold hoop earrings exactly the same design that I had originally, supply and set twice the diamond weight as I had in the original pair! And you suggested that I have you solder on a "bale" to the 1 original earring, remove it's Omega back, and "convert" it into a matching diamond pendant. This you did, and I love it! Now, thanks to your expert knowledge and expertise, I now have a beautiful new diamond pendant with 8 round diamonds totaling .48 CT. and a pair of new diamond contoured hoop earrings with 18 round diamonds totaling 1.50 CT. Thank you so much, Don. You made me so very happy."

"Don: I just wanted you to know how pleased Aletha was when I presented to her the magnificent engagement ring you made especially for me. She was elated when she saw it! And she was so thrilled that it was unlike any other 3 stone anniversary ring that she had ever seen before. She was so happy that you selected the two matched round brilliant cut super fine AAA quality blue sapphires and set them on each side of the 1.30 CT. round brilliant cut center diamond! The ring in all 14K white gold really showed off the fine white, colorless "F" color of the center diamond with the intense color of the blue sapphires. She couldn't get over how gorgeous the entire ring was. And you saved me so much money, Don. You will remember that I told you I saw a similar ring in one of the local jewelry stores in Savannah, GA; the sizes of its center diamond and the sizes of its 2 sapphires were considerably smaller than yours and not nearly as good a quality as yours, for thousands of dollars more! You have a satisfied customer for life with me."

"Mr. Bennett: I just wanted to let you know how pleasant my buying experience was with you when I purchased Jessica's engagement ring. I had never bought a diamond before and knew nothing about diamonds. I found your website online and read all about "Diamond Grading"; then I looked on your website under "Designer Jewelry" to get an idea of what style of engagement ring I wanted. I found the prices on your website very competitive and lower than anyone else! So, I telephoned you, made an appointment, and visited with you on the weekend. You showed me several loose diamonds and explained in detail to me all of the individual characteristics of each stone. And you showed me several different styles of semi-mountings, each with small diamonds on the side. You counseled with me and advised me as to which loose diamond and which semi-mounting gave me the "best perceived value." Thanks to you, Mr. Bennett, I made a wise, well informed, educated buying decision."

"There are so many things to say about Don Bennett and his expertise, I could probably fill a whole page. Let me begin by thanking Don for all of his time and patience. Don clearly has a knowledge about diamonds that he was more than happy to share with us. Don helped us find the most beautiful diamond in the world! The best part of all of this is the value! The price we paid for a 1.55 carat gorgeous halo ring doesn't compare to even one stone we checked out. I wish I could post a picture of my ring. Words can't describe how beautiful it is. I would love to provide a reference if needed for anyone who is nervous shopping online. We did wire our money to Don before we received the ring, but my fiancee and I felt very comfortable doing so after we both talked to him on the phone. I am telling all of my friends and family about Don. Anyone shopping for a diamond should absolutely give Don Bennett in Savannah, Georgia, an email, a phone call, or make an appointment to visit with him in person. His 53 years of buying and selling quality diamonds and his knowledge and expertise will save you thousands of dollars."

"I have never in my life come across a person with such compassion, honesty, and integrity when it comes to diamond buying.......until I met Don Bennett! Mr. Bennett had been recommended to me by my older brother who had bought his bridal set from him 10 years ago, and also by my parents, who bought a 3 diamond anniversary ring 5 years ago, so my family had urged me to talk to him before I committed to buying a diamond engagement ring from anyone else. From the first minute we spoke on the phone to the completion of my "dream ring", Mr. Bennett was dedicated to exceeding my highest expectations!!! His prices cannot be touched by anyone in the industry, but that is just the beginning!!! His attention to detail and commitment to assuring his customer the highest quality possible cannot be ignored. Do not waste your time anywhere else!!! I had looked in jewelry store after jewelry store and spent 3 months searching every diamond dealer in the world on the internet before I talked to my brother and parents and learned about Don Bennett and Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, Georgia. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner. I am a customer who has never bought over the internet in my life, but Mr. Bennett is a miracle!!! Please know that Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, Georgia has exceeded my expectations in quality, price, commitment, service, dedication, and most of all, integrity!!! I will never shop anywhere else!!!"

"Okay, let me first start off by saying that I live in New York City, also known as the "diamond district of the world." I was searching for a diamond for approximately a month and couldn't find the diamond specifications for the budget I had. I got frustrated and turned to the internet where I came across Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, Georgia. I became quite interested in talking with Don Bennett after reading the "About Us" page and learning that here was a man who had over 53 years experience buying and selling diamonds all over the country and had been in a family owned business for 60 plus years! I was even more impressed with Don Bennett's knowledge and expertise when I read the "Diamond Grading" section of his website: "www.bennettsfinejewelers.com." So I called Don on the phone. Wow! What a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, Don treated me as if I was his only and most important customer! I spent hours with Don, getting educated and going over the pros and cons of different diamond options. Then Don made two suggestions that no other diamond merchant had even told me about. He told me about a cushion cut diamond, a "new shape" diamond that was getting very popular. He explained to me that its "modified rectangular" shape and its "length-to-width" ratio would give me so much of a "bigger look" for the size that I was trying to find. And then Don made another suggestion that no other retail jeweler nor internet seller even mentioned: to go with a clarity enhanced diamond and save 30% or more! At first I was skeptical of purchasing something of such a high dollar amount over the internet without first seeing it, just like all the other testimonials listed here. Don explained to me something else that no one else had mentioned; i.e., that all diamond grading reports (a.k.a. "certificates") are "subjective opinions of an experienced diamond grader of an accredited gem laboratory." He spent a very long time with me (on more than one occasion) and never became pushy. All in all, he enabled me to exceed the diamond specifications I was looking for within my budget that was $3,000 less than anyone else! And he saved me another $500 on the platinum solitaire mounting, too! I strongly recommend that anyone shopping for an engagement ring contact Don Bennett at Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, GA. Thank you so much, Don."

"Don, I just wanted to drop you a short note to let you know how please and excited my fiancee, Melissa, was when I presented her with the 2 carat diamond engagement ring I bought from you last month. It was such a pleasureable buying experience for me. Like most people, I didn't know very much about diamonds. I found you on the internet, and comparing your loose diamond prices to all the others on the internet and to those in retail jewelry stores, I found your prices to be 50%-to-60% less than everyone else. All I knew was that I wanted to get Melissa a high quality 2 carat round shape diamond solitaire in a white gold setting. And that I had a budgeted figure in mind. You agreed to meet me on a Sunday afternoon when I drove down from Macon, Georgia; you spent over 3 hours educating me all about the 4 C's - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. We compared several diamonds - all in my budgeted price range. You advised me to go with a die-struck comfort fit 6 prong solitaire mounting in 14K white gold, explaining that the savings in dollars on a 14K white gold mounting could be put towards the diamond's price rather than the increased cost of a platinum mounting. You guided me in choosing the best and the biggest diamond for my budget. Not only did you save me over $4,000 on the price of the loose 2.09 CT. diamond and the 14K 4 m/m "Cathedral" solitaire mounting, but you set the diamond for me, free, sized the mounting to a finger size of 5.5 free, while I went out for an early dinner. And you saved me several hundred dollars more since internet sales carry no sales tax. Thanks, Don. I will recommend you to all my friends and do a lot more business with you."

"My husband and I were looking to upsize the diamond in the ring I've had for many years. We did a lot of internet research, and I looked in several jewelry stores to get a feel for the size that I felt comfortable with. The stores and salespeople cannot compare with dealing with Don. I called him so many times, just to discuss what I was thinking about doing and to get his opinion. He was always most patient, not at all pushy and kept telling me that he would be happy to have sent to him whatever diamonds I thought I would be interested in. I finally found one that I thought would be perfect, so he had it shipped into him, he examined it, verified its weight, color grade, clarity grade, and cutting grade. He even verified all of its measurements. It was exactly what I wanted. And at a great, unbelievable low price! I decided it was perfect for me, so we went ahead and overnighted a cashier's check, and included in the package my original diamond ring for Don to change the center stone. Don removed my original diamond and set it into a pendant; then supplied a new larger setting for the new, larger diamond, and set it into my original ring. My ring is so much more beautiful with a larger diamond in the center, and I have a beautiful new pendant now, too. The entire experience was very professional. I would recommend this internet company any day to anyone looking for diamonds. Their pricing beats all the other internet companies. Don has been in business for over 50 years and knows what he is talking about. Thanks again for getting me an absolutely gorgeous diamond. We will certainly tell everyone to deal with your company."

"Shopping for an engagement ring? This is the place to buy it. My 2 older brothers told me about Don Benneet and Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, Georgia. Both of them had bought their bridal sets from Don, my older brother, Bryan, when Don had his original store in Bainbridge, Georgia, and my brother, Kyle, drove over to Savannah, Georgia when Don relocated his business there in 2003. Both of them recommended Don so very highly. I had shopped around at many different jewelers in Albany, Georgia, Macon, Georgia, Valdosta, Georgia, Thomasville, Georgia, Dothan, Alabama, and Tallahassee, Florida, but none could compare to Bennett's Fine Jewelers in Savannah, Georgia. I even went online and compared prices to national internet sellers like Blue Nile, Diamonds on the Web, and several others, and I found that Don Bennett could give me a bigger and better diamond for less money! He offered an excellent selection of loose diamonds and engagement rings for any budget, at unmatched prices! Whether you are looking for a 3/4 carat or a 5 3/4 carat, Don will find the right diamond at the right price for you. But most important to me was the personal and friendly service that I received. When buying a diamond, price is only 50% of the equation: trust and service is the other 50%. Don gives the best personal service. Don Bennett is very knowledgeable and will not only get you the best deal, but he will give you the personal service you should expect from a jeweler who will keep you coming back for years to come. Feel free to use me as a reference: I am a very satisfied customer."

"Mr. Don, it was a sincere pleasure doing business with you. I am so glad that my grandmother told me about you. She told me that she had bought diamonds from your mother back in the 1950's when your original store was located in Bainbridge, Georgia, and from you when you first got out of college. She recommended you so very highly. And she has done some considerable diamond business since you relocated to Savannah, Georgia. The diamonds you helped me find are absolutely beautiful! I couldn't be happier with them. I knew that I wanted a 3 diamond anniversary ring style with a vintage antique look, and I knew how much I could spend, but that was all I knew. I knew nothing about diamonds. Before I talked to you, I had spent months researching diamonds and had spent a considerable amount of time talking with other diamond dealers, many of whom were retailers and selling very low quality diamonds at outrageous prices. I appreciate your honesty and advice when it came to finding the 3 perfectly matched diamonds to fit my budget. Talking with you I got to find that you were honest and a knowledgeable professional in every way. I can see why my grandmother recommended you highly. You explained to me something that no other diamond dealer did.....that the most economical way to get a gorgeous 2 carat total weight 3 diamond anniversary style ring was not to buy a 1.00 carat center diamond with 2 matched .50 CT. (each) side diamonds for a 2.00 carat total weight, (the way every other diamond dealer was trying to sell me at much higher prices), but to buy an .85 CT. center diamond with 2 matched .59 CT. (each) side diamonds for a 2.03 carat total weight. That really impressed me, Mr. Don. Thanks to you, I received 3 gorgeous diamonds, all perfectly matched, set in a magnificent vintage antique style at a great price! Your customer service was outstanding, and my diamond ring arrived carefuly packaged two days after I ordered it. You even called to make sure I received the ring and to make sure I was happy with it. Thank you for making this such a good experience and for getting me such a beautiful ring. I'd strongly recommend you to anyong seeking a great deal on quality diamonds and tell them that you are extremely trustworthy and will make their experience just as positive as mine has been. Again, thank you so much. See, a person should always listen to their grandmother!"

"Don, just a short note to let you know how very pleased my wife was with the 1 carat diamond stud earrings I bought from you for her for Christmas. She just loves them. The 2 diamonds are so perfectly matched. The ones that I looked at here with the local Albany jewelers didn't seem to match all that well, and they were twice the price, compared to what you sold me yours for. You really gave me a great deal, Don. And thanks for such great customer service, Don. I am so glad that I found your website on the internet. And since I live in Albany, (Georgia) which is a 6 hour drive to Savannah, you offered to meet me in Douglas, (Georgia), which was half way between our two locations. That saved me about a 3 hour drive. I really do appreciate it. You delivered the diamond earrings to me on the spot. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends. I am so glad I found you on the internet. Merry Christmas, Don."

"Don, I am so glad that I left it totally up to you to come up with a "special order - one of a kind" design in a diamond cross pendant for me. You really outdid yourself, Don. It is gorgeous! You had told me on the phone that you were going to design the cross pendant with an antique 14K white gold "border" on the "outside" of the cross, one that would encompass a 14K yellow gold "scroll design" on the inside, then solder onto the yellow gold design individual 14K white gold 4 prong low base "heads" to hold 4 round brilliant cut diamonds that weighed .09 CT. (each) on the 4 "points" of the cross and with 12 - 4 prong low base 14K white gold "heads" to hold 12 round brilliant cut diamonds that weighed .05 CT. (each), leading to the "outside" diamonds. You told me all of that information on the phone, and I knew that you would make up a beautiful design for m, but I had no idea that it would be so gorgeous, Don. When I opened the package that came in the mail, I was floored! You really outdid yourself, Don. Everyone who sees it asked me "where did you get such a magnificent pendant?" And I proudly tell them "Don Bennett made it up especially for me." They tell me that it is the most beautiful diamond cross pendant that they have ever seen! Thanks, Don. I will recommend you to all my friends."

"Don, I picked up the package at the post office today. It arrived on Saturday, but since I was not here to sign for it, the mailman left me a notice, so I picked it up today on Monday. The diamond earrings are stunning! I absolutely love them! The 2 diamonds are so beautiful and so perfectly matched! I just love the 3 prong "martini" setting in all yellow gold. They show the diamonds off so well. Sparkle, sparkle!!! I am so glad that you recommended that I go with clarity enhanced diamonds. No other jeweler suggested that, and you saved me so much money! You have been a pleasure to do business with! I appreciate your patience with my questions. Thanks for working with me on this. I do appreciate it. If you ever need a reference, please don't hesitate to use my name. Best regards, Bev."

"Mr. Don, I just received in the mail today the diamond wedding band you made up special order to match the diamond engagement ring I bought from you 2 years ago. It matches just perfectly! The 32 diamonds in the band match the 50 side diamonds in the engagement ring exactly - the same size, the same color, the same clarity, and the same cut. No one could have matched them better! I showed it to my fiancee right after I opened the package, and she just loved it. She immediately tried it on her finger and was thrilled as to how beautiful the two rings looked together and how there was absolutely no space inbetween the engagement ring and the wedding band. You made both of us so very happy. I received the Certified Diamond Appraisal in a separate envelope at the same time that I received the delivery of the registered mail package containing the diamond wedding band. It is such a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Don. Your knowledge and expertise about diamonds and jewelry designs made my buying experience so easy and pleasurable. You will have me and my family as a customer for life. I am so glad that my grandmother told me about you and put me in touch with you and your internet website. I will never hesitate to buy anything from you sight unseen, as I know that any diamond products you sell online over the internet will exceed the buyer's expectations! Thank you ever so much, Mr. Don, I will recommend you to all my friends."

"Hi, Don. I purchased a clarity enhanced princess cut diamond from you back in 2005. Shelley Marti, my sister, just finished a purchase with you a few weeks ago. I am starting to look for an upgrade. Hers is so beautiful, I can't let her outdo me - just kidding! I still have the receipt for my diamond purchase and didn't know if I could trade it in for the value of the purchase price, $4,199.00. I am looking for a diamond that I will get the biggest bang for the buck. Only shapes I am not interested in are heart, emerald cut, and marquise. I know some diamonds may have a heavier carat weight, but actually look smaller than a ring of less weight due to the cut, etc. But I am not particularly educated on all that so if you could me locate one, I am looking in the 2 - 3 carat range, color range is open, and no more than an I₁. I will have to get a new setting, too, but will cross that bridge when we locate the diamond. I look forward to hearing from you!"

"Hi, Don. I got my ring today. I was surprised it got here so fast. I love it! It is so beautiful! I am so glad that you recommended the 3 diamond anniversary ring style as the design for my new diamond. The 2 round brilliant cut diamonds, one weighing .42 CT. and the other weighing .45 CT., matched perfectly the color, clarity, and cut of that unbelievable 3 carat oval shape center diamond that you found for me. What pleased me even more was the fact that the 3.10 carat oval shape center diamond not only looked like a 4 carat diamond, it had measurements in length of 11.23 m/m, which actually exceeds the length of a 4 carat oval diamond! You really did give me the biggest bang for the buck, Don; just like I asked. And you gave me such a great deal on the price, just as you did two years ago. You took back in trade the 1.70 CT. clarity enhanced princess cut (loose) diamond you sold me 2 years ago, allowing me an additional $877.00 for the "appreciated increase in value over the past 2 years" for a total trade in amount of $5,076.00, not the $4,199.00 I paid you 2 years ago. Thank you so much, Don. It is such a pleasure doing business with you."

"Mr. Bennett:
My proposal went great, and many sweet memories were made. Michelle absolutely loves the ring!! (And all the ladies who ask to see it!) She said it's the most beautiful ring she's ever seen. I must admit that as pretty as it was in your office, it's twice as beautiful on her hand! It was such a pleasurable buying experience working with you, choosing the loose princess cut diamond and then the style of solitaire mounting in which to set. I knew absolutely nothing about diamonds, and I became very confused and frustrated when I shopped around in the jewelry stores in Albany, (GA), Thomasville, (GA), Valdosta, (GA), and here in Tifton, (GA). I was so glad when one of my co-workers told me that he and two of his brothers had bought engagement rings from you and that you were very honest, had been buying and selling loose diamonds for decades, and that you would find for a customer the best diamond at the best price! When I went online and found your website: www.bennettsfinejewelers.com, I could see that he was right. From our very first telephone conversation I felt very comfortable buying online from a man I had never met. You explained everything to me about the 4 C's and then told me about how that buying a clarity enhanced diamond could save me 30% or more! No one else ever told me that. Thank you so very much, for everything that you did. You found for me the perfect diamond, in my price range, and saved me hundreds of dollars! I will definitely recommend you to my friends."

"Don is such a pleasure to work with. He has expert knowledge of buying/selling diamonds, always responsive, and extremely patient. From the moment I met Don, I knew I had found my jeweler. He spent a great deal of time with me reviewing individual stones and educating me on what to look for. More importantly, I never felt pressured to buy anything. A friend of mine on the Brunswick, (GA) police force recommended Don, so I went onto his website, and I was impressed - with his education, his background, his years (decades) in the business, and his expertise. And I was very impressed with the extremely low prices on quality diamonds on his website! None of the local jewelers here in Brunswick, (GA) or St. Simons Island, (GA) could even come close to Don's diamond prices or qualities! So I called Don in Savannah, (GA), made an appointment with him after his regular business hours, which he offered to do to accommodate me. And when I met w/ Don, he told me about clarity enhanced diamonds, something no one in Brunswick or St. Simons Island, (GA) had done. I knew I had found my jeweler! You helped me find the perfect diamond and the perfect ring style to set it into. And you saved me thousands of dollars in the process. My fiancee just loves the ring! She thinks it is so beautiful! Thank you so much, Don. You are my jeweler for life."

"I had heard about Don Bennett and Bennett's Fine Jeweler's online website from two of my fellow soldiers who lived in the same barracks as me. I had looked in all the jewelry stores in Hinesville, Statesboro, Jesup, and Savannah, (GA) and even looked at the PX's at both Hunter AAF and at Fort Stewart. No one at the PX's knew anything about diamond grading, and all the salespeople in the jewelry stores in Savannah and the surrounding towns wanted to sell me what they had in their showcases at outrageously high prices! I wanted to buy an individual loose diamond after making an educated buying decision and wanted to have it mounted into a very special solitaire mounting, and I wanted to do it within my budget. My buddies told me that was the way Don Bennett sold diamonds. So I went on Mr. Bennett's website: www.bennettsfinejewelers.com. I was so glad I did. I telephoned Don Bennett and made an appointment to go see him. Mr. Bennett made my purchase a very pleasurable experience. He spent 3 hours with me, explaining all about diamonds. He helped me find the perfect diamond to fit my price range, and then he guided me in the selection of an ideal mounting to have it set into. He sized the mounting to the correct finger size, set the diamond into the mounting, and gave me a certified diamond appraisal, all at no charge! Great customer service! If you are interested in buying diamonds, go see Don Bennett in Savannah, GA; he will save you money."

"Don, I want to upgrade the 1.77 carat round brilliant cut diamond that I bought from you December 7, 2004. It was a most enjoyable buying experience for me when I bought that diamond from you a little over 2 1/2 years ago; I was very comfortable buying a large diamond from you over the internet, first looking at your website and then talking with you over the phone. Once you found that 1.77 carat diamond that was the exact size and quality diamond that I was looking for, you gave me such a super low price that saved me thousands of dollars compared to the prices of similar diamonds I looked at out here in Bryan (AR) and Little Rock, (AR). And after talking with you on the phone, I was very comfortable sending you a cashier's check in advance of your sending the completed diamond ring to me by registered mail. You will recall that I sent you an email and followed up with a phone call to tell you how pleased I was with the quality and price of the center diamond and of the complete ring, the great customer service, and that I was going to recommend you to my sister, Kelley Mercer. I did, and she told me that she bought a beautiful 1.70 carat princess cut clarity enhanced diamond from you, and set it into her original engagement ring. So, now I want a bigger center diamond set into a new & different style of engagement ring with larger sizes of side diamonds! And I want to get a full amount of trade in on what I paid you for the 1.77 round brilliant cut diamond almost 2 1/2 years ago! What do you suggest?"

"Don, I just received my new gorgeous ring that was delivered by FedEx overnight. I am stunned as to how beautiful it is! It is outstanding, no that is the wrong word - it is out of this world! I am so glad that you recommended that I go with 2 3/4 carat cushion cut diamond as the center stone with the new semi-mounting style #Y5660AA containing 74 round brilliant cut side diamonds totaling 1.29 carats. Those 74 side diamonds really do show off the 2 3/4 carat center diamond, and they bring up the total diamond weight of the entire ring to 4 carats! I am elated with my new ring, Don. I am so glad that I left it totally up to you to choose the size, shape, and quality of the center diamond and the style of the semi-mounting in which to set it. I am thrilled as to the super low price you gave me on the difference in the trade in. You gave me a very low price on this gorgeous 4 carat total weight ring and then deducted $4,699.00 from the price for the trade-in of the 1.77 carat round brilliant cut diamond you sold me about 2 1/2 years ago. Such a great deal, Don. I can't wait to show my new ring to my sister, Kelley. Thanks again, Don. You have made me so happy!"

"Mr. Bennett, the diamond engagement ring that I bought from you when I worked for the Glynn County school system in Brunswick, (GA) two years ago was stolen during a home burglary we experienced after my wife, Yolanda, and I moved here to McDonough, (GA) in the Atlanta, (GA) area a couple of months ago. I was so pleased with the shape, the size, the quality, and most of all, the price, of that diamond I bought from you then that I want to buy my wife another diamond engagement ring from you! This time I want a big marquise diamond set onto a wider band. And, as you did for me two years ago when I first bought from you at the recommendation of my boss, the superintendnt of the Glynn County Board of Education in Brunswick, (GA), at a great low price!"

"Mr. Bennett, I just received delivery of the registered mail package in which you had the gorgeous diamond engagement ring I had you make up for Yolanda. It is outstandingly beautiful! I had been anxiously awaiting its arrival ever since you had telephoned me a couple of weeks ago to tell me that you had found for me the perfect marquise diamond - a 1 3/4 carat marquise diamond that had the length and width measurements exceeding those of a 2 carat marquise diamond, and being clarity enhanced, was priced almost 40% less! I could hardly wait to see it. So, when it arrived today, I anxiously tore into the package, and I was delighted! As to how big the marquise diamond was, how beautifully "white" its color was, how great its clarity was, and best of all, how its ideal cut gave it so much brilliance, scintillation, and fire! Yolanda will be thrilled. Thank you so very much, Mr. Bennett. I will most definitely recommend you to all of my co-workeres in the Atlanta, (GA) area school system. Merry Christmas."

"Mr. Bennett, it was such a pleasure working with you and having you make up a 3 diamond anniversary ring for me. My husband, Rick, and I knew that I wanted a 3 diamond anniversary ring for my anniversary, but neither of us knew very much about diamonds, nothing about the 4 C's, and so we started looking in jewelry stores here in the Beaufort, (SC) area. We shopped around in jewelry store after jewelry store - in Beaufort, (SC), Bluffton, (SC), Hilton Head, (SC), even drove up to Charleston, (SC), and Myrtle Beach, (SC). In none of these stores did any of the salespeople try to educate us on diamond qualities, nor did any of them try to match 3 loose diamonds to find 3 that matched perfectly and that fit into our budget! Then we found your website online, and I am so glad that we did. Your website, www.bennettsfinejewelers.com was so informative, I felt as though I might have found a solution to my problem. I called you on the phone, and we talked for a long time about what I was looking for. I told you what our budget was, and you said: "no problem." We set up an appointment to visit with you, at which time you showed us a selection of several choices of 3 matched diamonds, and several choices of blank mountings, all within our budget. You explained in detail, everything about each diamond in each of the several matched groups, something no other salesperson had done. You guided my husband and me into making a very wise, educated buying decision. I ended up getting a much larger total diamond weight in a much better quality at a much lower price than anywhere else. Thank you, Mr. Bennett. We will contact you for all of our future diamond purchases."

"Don, even though you were at the "engagement party" at Oakridge when I presented the gorgeous engagement ring you made up for me to Bina, and you saw how happy, excited, and pleased she was, I just wanted to tell you again, "thanks so much", for making our engagement such a joyous occasion. I have thanked Pete so many times for recommending you to me. You are everything that Pete said you were - and more! Knowledgeable with a world of expertise, helpful, courteous, patient, understanding, and with decades of being in the business, you have the knowledge and the "connection" (you know all the "right people" in the "right places" to get the "impossible done three days before yesterday"). This was very much evident when I first came to you looking for an engagement ring for Bina. Within 5 working days, you had that very special custom made diamond engagement ring in all 18 Karat gold ready for deliery to me one day before the big engagement party at Oakridge! And you saved me thousands of dollars, Don. Bina loves the ring, Don. I will most definitely come back to you for the matching 18K gold when we set the date. Thank you so much."

"I am estatic over how gorgeous my new ring looks! The round diamonds surrounding the 1 1/2 carat center diamond make it look so much larger. It is absolutely beautiful! My fiancee told me that you were so very helpful and found the perfect diamond for him at a price thousands of dollars less than he was able to find at any of the other jewelers he met with. I will recommend you to all of my friends. Thank you so much."

"Hi, Don. I received the 2 perfectly matched loose oval shape diamonds in the mail today. I am very pleased! They are exactly as you said they would be. The exact same length, width, and depth. You matched their clarity, color, and cut perfectly. I am going to let my wife decide whether she wants you to set them into a pair of solitaire stud earrings or set them as side diamonds to her oval shape solitaire diamond engagement ring and make it into a 3 diamond anniversary ring. You gave me a great price on these 2 matched loose diamonds. Thank you so much. I am so glad I found you on the internet. You saved me hundreds of dollars."

"Don, the 1.70 carat clarity enhanced princess cut diamond that you set into the center of my engagement ring is simply gorgeous! It being one stone, it looks so much larger than the 12 small princess cut diamonds set in the 4 rows to look like one diamond. You buffed, polished, and rhodium finished the ring after you set the 1 3/4 carat princess cut diamond in the center so well tht it looked like it was brand new. And thank you for suggesting that I have you make a diamond pendant out of the 12 diamond cluster head that you took out of my original engagement ring. By using a 14K white gold rope chain that I already had, all you had to do was to solder onto the cluster head a 14K white gold bale. Now I have a gorgeous new engagement with a big 1 3/4 carat princess cut diamond and a new diamond pendant that you created for me. I am so glad that I found your website on the internet. I had looked at websites all over the internet and in jewelry stores all over Arkansas, even went to Sissy's Log Cabin in Little Rock, and your website offered me the most choices at the lowest prices! And you were so helpful in finding me the best 1 3/4 carat princess diamond at the lowest price! And you did all of this through a few emails and phone calls. Thank you so much. I will tell all my friends about you and will recommend you to everyone."

"Don, my wife is delighted with the 7 diamond anniversary ring that I purchased from you for her birthday. She had expressed a desire for this type of ring, so I went out shopping around to get the best quality diamonds at the best possible price. I went to all the jewelry stores in the malls, only to find that all the salespeople in the mall jewelry stores knew nothing about diamond qualities and showed me diamond rings at ridiculously high prices. I got the same results at the independent jewelers. I was getting very frustrated! So, I decided to look on the internet, where I came across your website. I was very impressed with your education, your expertise, your number of years in the business, so I decided that I would give you a phone call to see if you knew of the style of ring that I was looking for. To my surprise, not only did you know exactly the style of the ring I was looking for, you told me that you had that exact style of ring in stock in the 1 carat total weight version. When I came in to look at the ring the next day, you explained to me in detail the clarity, the color, and the cut of each of the 7 matched marquise diamonds. And to top it all off, you gave me an unbelievably low, low price saving me several hundred dollars! I am so glad I came across your website: www.bennettsfinejewelers.com on the internet. My doing so enabled me to find the perfect ring at the perfect price! Thank you so much."

"Mr. Don, my grandmother, Betty Parker, recommended you so very highly. She told me that she and her family had bought diamonds and jewelry from you and your mother, before you, when you were still in college. I went on your website, and I must admit that I was impressed. I read in detail your website's section "Diamond Grading", and it is very informative and educational. And I see in reading the "About Us" section of your website that my grandfather, Johnson Parker, was in the same high school graduating class of 1953 as you were in Bainbridge High School. With such high recommendations from my grandparents and after reviewing your website, I feel very comfortable dealing with you in finding for me the perfect diamond engagement ring for my perfect fiancee! Let me tell you what I am looking for; an engagement ring in all 14K white gold, finger size = 5 3/4, with a 1 carat princess cut center diamond with small round diamonds around it, (sort of in a "halo" design), and with small round diamonds down the sides of the white gold band. Can you make up a style like that? I want to keep my total price less than $3,500."

"Mr. Don, the diamond engagement ring you made up for me is gorgeous! I am delighted that I left the selection of the 1.10 carat clarity enhanced princess cut center diamond, as well as the "halo design" with the round diamonds around the center diamond and down the sides of the band totally up to you. You set the 1.10 carat clarity enhanced princess cut center diamond into a 14K all white gold semi-mounting with 50 round diamonds totalling .45 carat, giving me a total diamond weight of 1.55 carats, a little over 1 1/2 carats, and you kept the total price under $3,200. I am so very pleased. I know my fiancee is going to just love the ring. I am so glad my grandparents told me about you."

"Mr. Bennett, I just wanted to let you know how pleased and excited my fiancee was when I presented her with the gorgeous diamond solitaire engagement ring for Christmas that I bought from you online. I must admit that I was very hesitant about sending a cashier's check in advance of receiving and examining the ring first hand and from someone I had not met in person, but after reading all about your qualifications and testimonials from other satisfied customers who bought from you over the internet, I decided to call you and talk to you on the phone. I had looked at diamond solitaire rings, loose diamonds, and blank mountings at jewelry stores all over Glenville, Vidalia, Claxton, Statesboro, and Savannah, and at none of these stores did anyone explain anything to me about diamond sizes or qualities. And no one offered me the choices of individual diamonds at the low, low prices you did, Mr. Bennett. After my second conversation with you on the phone, I felt very comfortable sending you the money in advance of seeing the diamond. You were very patient and very knowledgeable, and it was a pleasure working with you. Thank you, Mr. Bennett, for your patience, with my dithering, you made it a lot of fun. I hope you enjoyed a great Christmas!"

"Mr. Bennett:
I am so glad that I found your website on the internet, as you made my recent purchase of a solitaire diamond engagement ring so very easy. I was very hesitant at first about buying such an important purchase from someone I did not know, and even more hesitant about sending a Cashier's Check in advance of my seeing the finished ring, but I became very comfortable when I perused your "Diamond Grading" pages of your website, as you "educated me" about all of the nuances in what qualities would offer me the biggest look for my money in a single stone ring, and I became even more comfortable when I read about how many decades you had been in the business of buying and selling diamonds, as well as your educational background and qualifications. And when I called you on the phone that very first time, I was convinced that I should buy my engagement ring from you. You gave me such good advice as to which diamond I should choose, and your super low price saved me thousands of dollars. My fiancee was very pleased with the ring. She loves it! Thank you so much for your patience, guidance, help, and advice. And I really do appreciate your sending me, under separate cover, the diamond grading report, as well as the certified diamond appraisal at no charge! Please feel free to use me as a reference. I am a very satisfied customer."

"Don:
Elizabeth was overwhelmed when she opened the package and saw the size and quality of the diamond stud earrings that I bought from you for her birthday! She said they were the biggest and most beautiful pair of diamond earrings that she had ever seen! Everything that I ever bought from you has been just perfect! The pre-owned diamond Rolex President, the pinky ring like the one that you are wearing, the upgraded bridal set, everything has been so great in quality and at such tremendous savings! It is such a pleasure doing business with you. And the special bridal set that you made up for my sister, too. That was out of this world! I am spreading the word here in Albany, GA. I am a very happy and satisfied customer, and I will recommend you very highly to all of my friends."

"Don Bennett is the real deal. When I began shopping for an engagement ring, I had my doubts about working anyone long distance. I did a lot of research online as well as shopping with the local area retail jewelry stores in the Jensen Beach, Florida area. From the moment I first talked with Mr. Bennett on the phone, I knew I had found my jeweler. He spent a great deal of time with me reviewing stones and educating me as to what to look for. More importantly, I never felt pressured to buy anything. He is a great pleasure to work with. He has expert knowledge of buying and selling diamonds, always responsive, and extremely patient. He makes you feel that you are his most important customer all the time, listens attentively, and explains clearly. I wanted a high quality diamond at a very reasonable price. Mr. Bennett gave me good advice on what grades of diamond I should focus my search on to get the best values. He spent hours going over a list of suitable diamonds with me. Within one week I found the perfect diamond. He mounted it into a solitaire engagement ring style for me the same day I chose the stone, sized the mounting to fit my fiancee's finger, and shipped it the next day after I overnighted a Cashier's Check to him. Great customer service! I am extremely pleased and recommend wholeheartedly that you get in touch with Mr. Bennett if you are looking to buy diamonds. I am confident that you will become a satisfied customer like the rest of the customers who wrote rave reviews about their experiences. Thanks."

"To say that Don Bennett is everything good that you look for in a salesperson wrapped up in one would be an understatement. All it took was one phone call. I read articles online for months, and I honestly learned quite a bit. However, during that one phone call, I learned from Mr. Bennett more than I had read in months. I feel like I can lecture folks on the art of diamond buying now. Mr. Bennett walked with me the entire way (for weeks I might add), suggesting ring styles and diamond shapes and teaching me the basics and even the not so basics in diamonds. Mr. Bennett was extra patient. Needless to say, I finally decided on something he recommended and (I still can't believe it) the ring came out better than the already overly gorgeous pictures, so much better! Mr. Bennet is hands down the best I have ever worked with. Every phone call since the first was more pleasing than the last. Integrity is what you get with this man. His patience seems limitless. Looking for expertise and knowledge? No one better. Thank you, Mr. Bennett, for making buying an engagement ring such a pleasurable experience. I wish I could audio record what I am typing so people could hear how ecstatic I am. All it takes is one phone call, I promise!"

"When my wife and I married 11 years ago, I worked with a New York diamond broker with the result of a beautiful ring. Recently, this ring was stolen, and I despaired of finding a replacement at anywhere near what I had paid 11 years ago. Then I found Don Bennett when I came across his website: www.bennettsfinejewelers.com online. Mr. Bennett helped us design the same arrangement but with even better quality diamonds than before......at just a tiny increase in the original cost. In fact, Mr. Bennett's price on the complete ring, had it been the same diamond quality as it was originally, would have been about 25% less than what I paid the diamond wholesaler 11 years ago! And I got better quality diamonds this time! Mr. Bennett was great to work with. He eased the normal fears of buying over the internet from someone you have not physically met with the opportunity to examine the diamonds first hand. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and my wife is more than thrilled with the result. Thank you so much."

"Don, Vera was ecstatic when I upgraded the diamond engagement ring that I bought her over 40 years ago. Your knowledge and expertise really guided me into making the wisest decision in choosing the best value from the several choices of diamonds you secured for my examination. Even though this was my fifth major diamond purchase from you over the past few years, this one is by far the largest and most expensive. And it is the most beautiful! The "ideal proportion" cutting grade of the diamond really does give the diamond so much brilliance. Vera tells me that all of her friends rave about how big and how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for making our 40th wedding anniversary the best one ever! It is such a pleasure doing business with you."

"First and foremost I would like to thank Don for his professionalism. His knowledge and expertise combined with great salesmanship made for a great shopping experience. Don's internet website is the best one that I have seen; it explains everything about diamond quality that enables anyone to make a wise buying decision. What I was looking for was a pair of fine quality diamond stud earrings set in platinum. All of the local jewelry stores in central Tennessee either didn't have it in platinum, and those that did had prices that were outrageously high! And most of the diamond stud earrings contained diamonds of very poor quality. I am so glad that I found Don online. He found within one day exactly what I was looking for.....2 perfectly matched round diamonds, each measuring the exact same 4.1 m/m diameter, each weighing .25 carat, each with the very high clarity grade of "VS₁", the "colorless" color grade of "F", and the very high cutting grade of "premium." And Don's pricing is the best I have seen on the internet. He set those 2 very fine quality diamonds into the platinum earring mountings for me and saved me hundreds of dollars! Thank you very much, Don. I highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy quality diamonds at a great price!"

"Mr. Bennett: It was such a pleasure working with you on replacing the solitaire diamond pendant that was stolen from our home when it was burglarized two weeks ago. You were so helpful, so very professional, and I can see easily why State Farm has authorized you to be this area's "Authorized State Farm Replacement Agency." Your gemological knowledge and expertise, as well as decades of being in the business of buying and selling diamonds guaranteed us of getting the exact same quality diamond.....the exact same size, the exact same clarity, the exact same color, and the exact same cutting grade.....that we had in the diamond that was stolen. And the new appraisal that you gave us on the replacement diamond pendant was so detailed. We will most definitely be buying all of our diamonds from you in the future, and I will most certainly recommend you to all of my friends. Thank you very much."

"Don't let the internet scare you into buying a 3 diamond anniversary ring half the quality and twice the price from a local jeweler! This site has the absolute best service and the lowest prices anywhere. I did a lot of shopping around only to find this is exactly what I was looking for. Our local jewelers tried to sell us 3 diamond anniversary rings half the size and quality from the diamond rings we found here. Of course we had lots of questions and some fear about purchasing online, but Don took great care of us from the start. He explained to us that it was best to match 3 loose diamonds, as this procedure insured that the 3 diamonds would match perfectly in clarity, color, and cut. Don explained to us all about the 4 C's. He listened to what we wanted and helped us find 3 perfectly matched diamonds that far surpassed my expectations. My ring came out so much better than I expected, and I know it's because we trusted Don to do what he does best! The man is honest, straight-forward, and he knows diamonds! I'm so pleased we shopped here and have already referred friends and relatives without a second thought. This is the only place to shop for diamonds! By the way, I was one of those people who questioned if the testimonials were real - they are, and I'm a real person who never thought they would be so super impressed that they would write a testimonial - but I did, and you will, too."

"Don, words cannot express how happy and pleased I am with the 1 1/2 carat diamond solitaire engagement ring I purchased from you. Your internet website's "Diamond Grading" educated me about the 4 C's that I knew I could trust you completely in selecting a diamond for me. I remember so well your advice to me when we had our first conversation on the telephone. I told you what my budget was, and you told me that you had 2 diamonds that fit perfectly within that budget - one was a 1 carat that measured 6.2 m/m in girdle diameter, was an "F" in color, a "VS₂" in clarity, and a "2A" in cut, and one that was a 1 1/2 carat - 50% bigger in size, measuring 6.9 m/m in girdle diameter, was a "G" in color, an "SI₂" in clarity, and a "3A" in cut. You told me both diamonds were the same price, and you recommended the bigger 1 1/2 carat diamond. You said that bigger is better, particularly since no one can distinguish a "VS₂" from an "SI₂" clarity without examining the 2 diamonds under a 10x power binopular microscope, loose, nor can anyone distinguish an "F" color from a "G" color without a set of laboratory graded "master stones", loose, with the diamonds upside down, examined from the underside. The .7 m/m difference is huge, plus the wider "table" on the 1 1/2 carat makes it look even bigger. You recommended the larger diamond. My fiancee loves it. She gets so many compliments on it. Everyone says it is so big and so beautiful! Thanks for your wonderful service and attention. I know you will be there for me if I need to call on you in the future. Thank you & happy Halloween!"

"Don, I am so glad that I found you on the internet. I was still in Dublin, California last month when I was searching for someone who would make up a diamond engagement ring like my mother's, you know, a style that was popular in the 1950's, with the "fishtail" style head that held the center diamond and with 4 round side diamonds, 2 on each side of the center stone. I couldn't find this style, in platinum, in any of the retail jewelry stores, nor could I find anyone online that would make it up for me in platinum. I happened to come across your internet website, where you stated that you could make up any design as a special order. Right after Toyota transferred me here to Tokyo, Japan, I sent you an email, and you knew exactly the style engagement ring I wanted. Your mother sold that style in the 1950's when she first went into business. You found for me the perfect diamonds....a 1.55 carat center diamond with 4 perfectly matched side diamonds totaling .65 carat, for a total diamond weight of 2.20 carat. And you made up the exact style I wanted in all platinum. You shipped it to me FedEx here in Tokyo, and when I received it, I was floored by how beautiful it was! It surpassed my expectations. Absolutely magnificent! My fiancee just loves it. And I am really delighted with the price, Don. You really figured with me close, and you saved me thousands of dollars! Thank you for such great customer service. I will get back in touch with you for the matching wedding band when we set our wedding date. Thanks again."

"I really have to thank Mr. Bennett for helping me pick out the right diamond and also getting me informed in detail about everything I should know about selecting a diamond. I heard about Mr. Bennett after my friend told me he purchased a 1 1/2 carat diamond from him. I was very skeptical at first when he told me that he was sending a cashier's check in advance to someone in Savannah, Georgia that he hasn't even met in person! But in fact, when I got in touch with Mr. Bennett regarding my diamond, I could tell that he was really an honest man and I knew I'd be well taken care of! I will definitely recommend Mr. Bennett, to any of my friends looking for a diamond, and I hope to purchase another one in the future for my wedding anniversary. You can bet that it will be from Mr. Bennett, because he will give you the best deal on a quality diamond at the lowest price you can find anywhere."

"Don, just a short note to let you know that Cathy really was ecstatic when she opened up the box and saw the magnificent 3 diamond anniversary ring you specifically designed for her. You did exactly what I askd of you.......find for me a center diamond over 3 carats in size, but one that looked like a 5 carat diamond, with a large diamond on each side. You suggested an oval shape center diamond because of its length-to-width measurements and with large triangular shaped diamond ("trillions") on each side of the oval shaped center diamond. You found for me an enlongated 3.30 carat oval center diamond and 2 matched trillion diamonds that weighed .83 carats (each), all 3 diamonds matched perfectly, and the total weight of the 3 diamonds is 5 carats! And you set those 3 gorgeous diamonds into a 14K all white gold custom made mounting. We went to a New Year's Eve dance at the country club, and you should have heard the raves from everyone there. We both are so pleased how the ring looks. Thanks, Don. It is such a pleasure doing business with you."

"Don, Harriet said that the diamond necklace you made up for me for our 40th anniversary was the most beautiful piece of diamond jewelry she had ever seen! I really was at a loss as to what to get her, as I had bought her some really nice pieces from you over the years, and I really wanted something super special for her 40th wedding anniversary. As you know, I always run something like this by my daughter to get her input. She suggested a 4 carat diamond, so I sent her in to talk to you. You suggested that you find me a diamond of that size, set it into a pendant enhancer on an 18K white gold Omega neckchain. You searched the diamond marketplace and found for me a fantastic 4.28 carat diamond at a great price, found a perfect pendant enhancer mounting to set it into, and supplied the 18K white gold Omega neckchain, one graduated in size and width so that the diamond enhancer remained "centered" on the necklace. It was a stunning design. Harriet just loves it. It made our 40th the best anniversary ever. I can always rely on your knowledge of the diamond market, your expertise in buying and selling diamonds, your honesty and integrity to provide me with the finest quality diamonds at the lowest possible prices! Have a great 2003!"

"Don, I just want you to know how much my wife loved the diamond solitaire ring you made up for me. I was getting very frustrated looking in all of the jewelry stores in the Albany, GA area. None of the local jewelers there educated me about the 4 C's in diamond grading, and none of them could find for me a big 4 carat diamond in my price range. Then I saw your newspaper ad in the Albany Herald's Sunday Edition, announcing your new website. I called you the very next day, and you told me you could definitely find me a 4 carat pear shape diamond in my price range, but that it might take a few weeks to find the perfect stone. It did - it took you 2 months to find me the right diamond at the right price. But you did it, something no one else could do. And your price was exactly in my price range. You got that diamond in on approval, I drove down to your store in Bainbridge, met with you on a Saturday afternoon. You showed me the diamond as well as a 14K all white gold solitaire mounting that was the right size for that size diamond and showed me how it would look in the mounting. I was convinced that my long search for the perfect diamond was over. I gave you a check on the spot, you set the diamond the following Monday morning, and you put it in the mail that afternoon. I received it on Thursday afternoon at my office. I was delighted as to how gorgeous the finished ring looked. I gave it to my wife that night. She was ecstatic when she saw it, Don. Thanks ever so much. I will definitely do more business with you in the future. Have a great Thanksgiving."
