Unfortunately I cannot, and will never recommend Genesis to anyone I know, especially newly engaged couples. The staff is welcoming, but when it came to deeper conversation and questions, they consistently cut me off mid-sentence, and perpetually used a condescending tone. I typically practice great due diligence as a cosumer (so I realize we are partly to blame) but because of the surprise my fiance was trying to create, I was not there to help him do the same. Lesson learned. Still, I cannot stand by and let their actions go unaccounted for, so I feel the only thing I can do is leave a review: My fiance had every intention of fulfilling my dream engagement ring: rose gold, black diamond, simple. Best part being, black diamonds are significantly less expensive than their white counterparts. His sales 'expert' pursuaded him against buying a black diamond because they, "Have a tendency to crack and get easily destroyed", and to date she's had 2 women return with black diamond ... Read morerings only months after purchase to return and exchange. Weeks later when he explained to me why he went with a white diamond, knowing I've always wanted black - I had never heard that before, so I conducted some research. After reading several articles and contacting 3 diamond vendors to confirm, I knew she completely lied. If anything, black diamond are more durable than white - less sparkly sure, but equally rated a 10 on the hardness scale. Her true intention was to push the more expensive, white diamonds they had in stock. Taking advantage of an unknowing, unsuspecting man who was just trying to do the right thing. Additionally, our sales associate and the manager I spoke with when I returned to the store to consider upgrading my diamond framed a 10% discount as a 'favor to me'. Turns out, they always offer a guaruntee when it comes to ring upgrades, a 110% guaruntee on the trade in according to their website. That was more forgivable than the first offense, but just another example of the horrible way they do business. I'm extremely grateful to my fiance, and had an incredible engagement thanks to him (the ring is just a plus). Still engagements are meant to be exciting, unforgettable experiences - and that being said, they place a considerable amount of stress on the individual doing the proposal. Genesis will take every opportunity to take advantage of, and exploit that in their customers. We will not be returning for our bands, and I plan on continuing to warn everyone I can against their establishment.
