A Diamond Engagement Ring in Our Store

Don’t let money matters stop you from committing the rest of your life to the person you love! The perfect wedding ring your budget is available at Bert Levi Family Jewelers. We’re a third generation jeweler, a small family business committed to helping you find something beautiful that you can afford.

Do you know how much you can afford? Know your budget and stick to it. No if’s, and’s or but’s. Feel good about what you’re buying and let no one tell you otherwise.

Does your diamond make the cut? The cut of a diamond makes the impact on the quality of it. The stone’s brilliance and reflection depend on the cut of the diamond. We directly import ours, and we have decades of experience. That gets you a beautiful diamond for a price far below what you expect.

How clear is your diamond? Remember that diamonds are graded under magnification of ten times! You can get a diamond that doesn’t necessarily grade flawless but will still be beautiful to the naked eye.

How much does the diamond weigh? Did you know a one carat diamond will be indistinguishable from a .99 carat diamond but you’ll save a bundle by choosing the smaller stone?

When shopping for a ring, take your time. Be prepared a few months in advance so that you do not feel pressured to propose right away. You certainly don’t want to go to a store with high pressured salespeople. We pride ourselves with helping you and folks like you to find the perfect wedding ring. Anyone not taking the time to do that doesn’t deserve your business.

We’re a small family business with experts who will help you find a ring set that’s perfect for your loved one and your budget. Being a third generation jeweler we know that fair prices help make you become a customer for life.
