Vanessa Valera: So are you guys are getting ready to pop the question to that special lady in your life then you need to watch this section. Hi. This is Vanessa Valera with watchmojo.com, today we’re here at Kaufman de Suisse, one of the world’s finest jewelry stores, and we’re going to be talking to Geller Moneca Kaufmann, who’s going to walk us through the process of choosing that special ring for the lady in your life. Come join us.
Coming from an expert and from experience that I am sure that you have, how long does it usually take between the time that a guy wants to pop the big question and the time that he actually comes here and talks to you to buy the perfect ring.
Moneca Kaufmann: You know I think varies a lot Vanessa, depending on the person but I think once is implanted into the gentleman’s ring that he’s proposing, it happens pretty quick. Once he’s made a decision, he’s usually here within a week or so.
We really help to the process of this is not just a purchase, this is something so meaningful to her, she’ll remember it the rest of her life, so you got to get on your knees. We give a whole slew of recommendations or ideas or potential phases he can use to help him.
What I tell a lot of my men clients when they are coming on their own, I say, you know what my father the way he proposed my mother was to say to her I think we should get married and my mother has been telling the story her whole life. So to avoid that, you really want to make it a very memorable occasion where she’s felt like you’re a princess. She was to made to feel like a princess.
Vanessa Valera: A lot of people are actually buying their engagement rings on the internet and I think it goes as a little bit that personalize and customize service but I wanted to ask you, you know. Since you’re a specialist on the field, what do think are the pros and cons of buying something on the internet—I mean something that special.
Moneca Kaufmann: Yeah. Well, I would say that the pros are it—the ease of purchase, you don’t have to leave home. You might get more favorable price but it’s not just about the price, it’s about the whole experience like anything in life, I mean you can find a woman on the internet but until you actually get to know her, she’s just something not special.
The downside of buying on the internet is today a lot of clients are so focused on this diamond certificate but there has been actually a lot of fraud in this whole area of diamond certification so I’ve had instances of people coming in thinking they have particular diamond, when it fact, it wasn’t that at all.
Vanessa Valera: What do guys think; you know when they come in the first time, what kind of questions do they ask you when it comes to buying those right?
Moneca Kaufmann: Well most guys are actually a little bit nervous when they come because they are not so sure about diamonds and they don’t comprehend why in the world is this little stone cost so much money? So we help them understand that it’s something that’s at least 20 million years old through the process of asking a questions about the lady for whom their making the purchase, we’ll able to advice them what is important. First of all in the stone and then secondly of course in the mounting, so depending on if she’s someone who are more classic or modern, depending on her style and his style often to somewhat like hers. We’re often able to give a good recommendation.
Vanessa Valera: Well thank you so much for everything.
Moneca Kaufmann: Yeah. You’re welcome.
Vanessa Valera: It’s a very inside details, they are all going to appreciate, I’m sure because they’re going to pop that question the special lady.
Moneca Kaufmann: Great, the pleasure is mine.
