My wife told me the set and size that she wanted, I was most impressed with Jared. One of the cool things that Jared does is that if you want to upgrade later, you can use your ring and get the amount that you paid for it as a credit towards a new one as long as the new one is twice as much. Only problem is that both my wife and I don't want to have to give up her wedding ring, but it is a option. Other jewelers got some dumb founded looks on their face when I told them what type of set I was looking for, but Jared had about 6 different ones to choose from. As for the quality and such, they told me what all of it meant and showed me good ones and ones not as good, I just picked what I thought she would like, or what looked good to my eye since all she really cared about was getting the ring and moving forward.
