My dream engagement ring from a lovely local gem!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've been a fan of Gilt for nearly 10 years...even back in high school. Everyone there has always been so welcoming and down to earth, over the years they have become my favorite place for unique treasures. I was searching for a engagement ring and I knew Gilt would be the perfect place. It just had to be vintage. Not only because they are unique, beautifully handmade, and share a bit of history... also because it is the "green" way to go...conflict free hand cut diamonds and recycled too. After months of searching alas it arrived at Gilt! Unfortunately I was without my partner...drat! The girls wrote the ring's specifics down for me and kindly warned me that rings go fast. I took the card home to my now fiance and he said we'd go back the next afternoon. We did. MY ring was gone! I eventually got over it. I continued to visit knowing that something equally amazing would come through. Three months later I was proposed to. Guess what was inside the little red heart-shaped box? MY ring! The original one that I saw....Edwardian, platinum filigree, and Old European cut diamond! My tricky guy called them immediately and secretively purchased the ring! The whole experience has been fabulous and the surprise was absolutely perfect! I loved Gilt before and now I love them even more.

Pros: Unique, variety, affordable to all budgets, kind, helpful

Cons: None!

Know Before You Go

Rings generally range from $200 to $10,000. An outside firm appraises each one, and most are sold below the assessed value--the appraisal and sales prices are clearly marked on each ring.
