Houston Diamond District has been a top-rated engagement ring seller on Amazon for several years now.

Visit the listing on Amazon to see the multiple customer reviews and customer uploaded images for this ring. Here’s my favorite:

This company was a delight to work with. The customer service is amazing and extremely personable. They expedited my ring, treated me with the utmost respect, and answered emails almost immediately. I was impressed. The ring itself is absolutely gorgeous. The diamond is a great cut&clarity. I am very familiar with jewelry and I was surprised that the center diamond, in person, looks even bigger than I expected it to…Buy with confidence.
