Hi Everyone! Welcome back to my channel this is Bonnie with By Bonnie Jewelry, where I show you all
things diamonds! Okay, so today's episode is going to be a little bit different than normal...I'm going
to be showing you our...of course our Signature Petite By Bonnie 2ct oval ring but this time
around not only will I show you the ring...I've also sat down with the actual client, so can give you
a little bit back story in how he chose me to be his jeweler all the way from New York City, okay...
so let's just get into it right now! Bonnie: Hi! Client: How are you? Bonnie: I'm good so first of all I wanted to thank you for
jumping on really quick...this will be very short but I really wanted my viewers to see...you know how
you went from...you know just starting out, kind of like you know...you told me that you're looking at
you know, your window can see the diamond district in New York...so I wanted my viewers to get you know
the experience that you had and just you know if they're wondering how to start...so first of
all like...how did you find me? that's the question number one and you know why did you decide to work
with someone unseen...untouched...across the country while you're looking at the diamond district?
So, tell us about that! Client: I found you on YouTube...I typed in some of the features that I was looking for
in the final product, I was looking for an oval, pave band...just you know certain details and
I put it right into YouTube and you were like the 4th or 5th video...you know a couple hundred
views and I clicked on it and I just felt really good about it...you know super high quality videos
great transparency around sizing and pricing and I like that you put in...you know, recommendations
around what you like or don't like...I like that you kind of compared different sizes and
I just had a really good feeling from the overall quality of the video, so I just sent you an email...
I think, I just clicked on the link from the YouTube channel and I sent you an email...I think, I sent it
really late because I was doing some kind of like stealth late night browsing and I sent you the
email and I got...you know, you got back to me by you know a couple...you know a couple hours later...
you know the next day and the rest is kind of history from there...but yeah I'm...I'm very close to the
diamond district and I did some browsing there and I went to multiple dealers over the course
of a few weeks and the experience wasn't exactly what I was expecting it to be...it was nice to
see the stones in person, but the whole experience kind of felt very impersonal...felt hard to connect
with the seller...I kind of got the sense, that I was like the 100th person that the seller had
spoken to that day...I didn't love the idea of buying the stone from the diamond dealer and then
you know taking it in this little small bag to a jeweler...trusting that jeweler to kind of make the
final product that I wanted...so, to be able to learn that you were able you know to have access to the
wholesale diamond prices and then also make the ring at the same time without needing me to do
anything, was a breath of fresh air for me you know... Bonnie: Yeah, I guess that's a common practice in
New York...I've heard it from a couple clients, that have reached out...it's like yeah you go to a dealer
and like they give you a bag...and they recommend someone...and then in the end like you don't know
what...what the end product looks like so that's interesting...So I'm glad that you felt comfortable
you know, we were kind of communicating...a lot of people are you know, kind of curious like...
"Ohh, how do you communicate, right? Client: Yeah for sure...no it was kind of like having like a personal
stylist...almost you know, I could kind of text you at any time you get right back to me was great! It was
way better than I was even anticipating! Bonnie: And what about...when you receive the actual package? Because
you know...we were talking talking for like days and then waiting...manufacturing and then throughout
I was kind of keeping you posted and then when you...what about when you got like the actual package?
Client: Once I got the tracking number...I kind of just tracked it for the next few hours until I
fell asleep...so it left California at 4pm and when I woke up in New York at like 8am
it was already here! So to learn, that it can happen that quickly was something I didn't even
realize and when I got the package, you know...it came in this like beautiful box with a
great card and you know some other goodies...it was perfect! Bonnie: Awesome! and I know you proposed so...
Congratulations!! So what about...you know your fiance, when you know finally after all
that research and that moment came and and you are about to do it...what about her reaction? Because
I know everybody's dying to see that! Client: She loved it! It was...you know she kind of dropped me hints
on certain details she wanted to see in the ring and she was really impressed that I was able to...
A; remember it and then B; you know actually pull it off...Bonnie: so executed it... so we executed it together...
Client: Yes, so credits to you and thank you so much for kind of... you know making the vision kind of come to life and she absolutely
loves it! She gets compliments all day and I think the other part that my fiance really
likes...is you know, she likes to support Women-owned businesses and that's something, that's really
meaningful to her! So for her to be able to look at her ring and to know that it...
you know...came from you a small business, it's I think that you know...it's important to her!
Bonnie: oh that is heart warming! Thank you so much! Do you have any words or advice for people
you know...they're just searching for rings, you know...just like you when you first started and
especially in the East coast clientele, that you know...are looking...do you have any words of advice
for them? Like...what to look for? and you know...when they're just starting to look for their dream ring.
Client: You know...trust the experts! I would say that...you know there aren't any stupid questions
and I would definitely you know...expand your mind in terms of where you can find rings and products
and you know, it can really come from anywhere! It doesn't...you know necessarily have to be in your
own neighborhood and to feel free to...you know shop around and speak to as many people... Bonnie: Awesome! Okay...
well that's it...I mean, I'll be sharing a little bit of photos of her hand on the YouTube video
so everyone can see, how much she loves the ring! So thank you so much, Jake! This is it...
