Cushion cut engagement rings / James Allen online jewelry store review
My special lady and I were excited as we searched many fine jewellery stores with the intent of purchasing an engagement ring for her. We wanted to see a selection of cushion cut engagement rings but unfortunately, most of the establishments we visited had just one or two to show us.
We had given this important purchase some serious consideration as of course, this ring would symbolize our relationship with each other – as well as being an investment. Also, as my lady will wear her ring for the rest of her life, I felt that she should have the style of cushion cut engagement ring she desired.

Of course, there are many types of lovely rings in the stores but if you want a particular setting and cut of gemstone, you might need to have it custom-made. But how do you find a skilled and reputable gemologist who would create a cushion cut engagement ring to your own specifications and who would be sufficiently sensitive to one’s needs to understand what was wanted? It got me wondering – how many other couples run into this problem?
I continued my search on the Internet and, after much reading, wrote off most of the sites one by one! And finally, my search found gold! I found James Allen’s online jewellery store. There was a large range of cushion cut engagement rings for us to examine – which we did! Our memorable experience is one that I’d like to share with you, if you find yourself in the same position as I was.
James Allen Jewelry was established in 1998 with a single objective; to offer the world’s most beautiful engagement rings, coupled with the finest laboratory-graded diamonds – and all at an extraordinary value. James Allen has succeeded in that objective. The purchase of our cushion cut engagement ring at James Allen was a significant experience for us as the risks of buying it online were immediately eliminated, simply because we could see exactly what it was that we were getting. We found that,
- Selecting our ring was simple because of the 3D videos where we could view the loose diamonds, mounted in settings as well as on a model’s hand – and because each of James Allen’s diamonds is pictured individually, you can view the actual stone through a “Virtual Loupe.” Each diamond is magnified to such a degree that you can spot any “inclusions” or carbon specks within the diamond and we were able to create our own perfect cushion cut engagement ring without any hesitation;
- you can see each individual component of your ring by clicking on your preferred setting, the precious metal to be used, the design and the stone itself by the four “C’s” (color, cut, clarity and carat). And best of all, you can actually create the exact ring you’ve dreamed of.

The origin of the diamonds was important to us, given the world-wide publicity concerning “blood” diamonds. We were relieved to know that the diamonds at James Allen are certified as conflict-free – legally obtained without using child labor, without any abuse of human rights and without affecting the environment.
We asked many questions and all were fully answered by James Allen’s experts – at no time were we pressured to buy and did not feel rushed – just excellent customer service! We felt that James Allen Jewelers sincerely wanted us to be delighted with our purchase of our cushion cut engagement ring and that we enjoy the experience we had when shopping with them.
We had some questions concerning warranty and were advised that there is a thirty day, 100% guarantee of our money back if we were not satisfied with our purchase. And there is also a lifetime warranty which means that if our cushion cut engagement ring needs repair or an inspection to ensure the diamond is secure, we can send it to them and they will take care of any problems. They will even re-size it for you within sixty days or purchase – at no charge!
As our ring was an online purchase, we were concerned about shipping and security. We were told that every item shipped within the United States – in fact, world-wide – was sent with full insurance and James Allen also provides order status updates and tracking information on all shipped jewellery.
Payment was made very easy for us and James Allen offered a variety of ways for us to pay for our cushion cut engagement ring. We could use wire transfer, certified personal check or money order in addition to all major credit cards, like American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
So friends – that was our experience with James Allen Jewelers. Positive from first to last! We would recommend this website to anyone who is searching for that special piece of jewellery, especially cushion cut engagement rings because without a doubt, they had the best selection to choose from. Their website is attractive and they are staffed with experts in the jewellery field who stand firmly behind what they sell. I appreciated the advice they gave us on the types, colors and cuts of their diamonds as well as some fascinating information about the art of diamond cutting.
And if you are still reading this, it means that you are interesting in purchasing a particular piece of jewelry and are perhaps searching for a place where you can do just that. This, without a doubt, is the place – please search no more!
And as for my lady – does she still love her cushion cut engagement ring? Most definitely and she now has a wedding ring to go with it – purchased online, of course, from James Allen Jewelry.
