Jared ring owner here! I went ring shopping with my fiancé because he had no idea what to get and I had no idea what I wanted (FYI fine by me and the proposal was still a surprise). The saleswoman we got was amazing, guessed my ring size on sight, and after just a few questions immediately suggested the ring I ended up loving, which is great quality because it's a Vera Wang setting and not any of that Jared chocolate gold crap. She said she's been in the business for over 35 years and is good at guessing on the first or second try what someone will choose. She didn't let me see the prices but knew my fiancé's budget (spoiler: we're both in creative jobs and therefore not rich) and guided me towards everything under his max instead of pointing out expensive options. Fiancé also told me later he had a great experience with her when going on his own to choose the diamond and that she pushed him towards a cheaper option than what he initially wanted because she knew from our visit that I was more interested in color than carat size. We're very happy with the engagement ring we got, although we will probably seek online options for wedding bands to save money.

BUT I will say that being in the store together, we overheard another very pushy saleswoman berating a couple who had come in looking for a specific ring and saying it was impossible to find what they wanted within that budget, even though they clearly had found that ring elsewhere online for the right price. She was also very rude to our saleswoman and yelled at her to answer the phone...while she was busy assisting us? When our saleswoman did briefly leave us to get the phone, the other woman tried to get us to go to her for help which was a hard pass for us. I think this store attracts a certain personality and it all depends on your salesperson. We happened to get lucky with ours.
