I found this place on Google. I walked into the lobby and asked how to get to the business. The receptionist called upstairs and two gentlemen came down to meet me. This was my first time buying a ring, and Alex and his brother made it a pleasure. We spoke about Toronto as the ring was being polished. I felt comfortable the whole time. I recommend this business to anyone looking to buy jewelry.Posted on Google Sabina PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Alex and Arbi was nothing short of amazing. While my engagement was a surprise, I wanted to be involved with the ring designing process as I’m super picky.
