The Words That Mean the Most

  • "Absolutely LOVE my pear shaped engagement ring. It’s exactly what I hoped for and more… and it’s so shiny! :) Working with Elizabeth was a dream and a breeze. You will feel like more than just a client with The Carat Menagerie - it’s like being helped and guided by your best friend!"

    Kiley C.

  • "Elizabeth provided an incredible diamond buying experience. I was buying an engagement ring and she helped me find the exact cut I was looking for, helped me maximize the carat count and color I was looking for. She worked with me over multiple sessions as I was being terribly indecisive lol, and wanting it to be perfect. I felt like she was emotionally invested it the experience too lol. Couldn’t say more positive things about Elizabeth and her work."

    Zach M.

  • "Working with Elizabeth was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, she made the process of designing my engagement ring and wedding band so easy, enjoyable, and truly special. She listened carefully to both me and my husband, guided us through different styles and options, and offered thoughtful suggestions that made our rings feel perfectly tailored to us. On top of her expertise and eye for detail, she was so funny and down-to-earth. We even came up with nicknames for different diamonds along the way, which turned the whole experience into a true blast! Elizabeth not only helped us design rings that are stunning, but she also made the entire journey fun, stress-free, and unforgettable. Every time I look at my rings, I’m reminded not only of how beautiful they are, but also of how wonderful the experience was thanks to Elizabeth. I can’t recommend her highly enough!"

    Melissa G.

  • "My wife and I loved working with Elizabeth! She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, patiently guiding us through the world of engagement rings. We so much enjoyed our experience with her that we went back for our wedding bands and she helped me out on a wedding day gift. Elizabeth is a wonderful person and a knowledgeable guide!"

    Andrew Q.

  • "Elizabeth was absolutely the best to work with!! Her diligence with helping me to find the right engagement ring that met all my requirements was amazing. She was relatable, educational, and informative, while answering all my questions. Highly recommend!"

    Dillon K.

  • “Elizabeth is THE BEST!!! At first I started shopping around on my hunt for the perfect engagement ring to propose with. I started losing interest in other jewelry stores due to outrageous prices, lack of selection, or how the sales associates weren't being helpful or listening to customers. Elizabeth listened to my budget, but also what customizations that needed to be made so that the ring would be perfect for my bride to be. Elizabeth was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and helped all along the way, as well as keeping me informed on any contact with the designer. Elizabeth was able to find me a better quality diamond at a better price than I thought I would be able to get. She also MADE SURE that the customizations would be perfect down to the millimeter for what my future wife would want for her ring. I HIGHLY recommend seeking out Elizabeth if you want someone who will listen to you and work for you non-stop to make your engagement ring dreams come true. I can't thank her enough.”

    Jamie B.

  • "The best choice for myself and now fiance. Elizabeth is one of the best sales people (ring specialist) that I have ever done business with. I, myself are in sales and appreciated all of her hard work. She is very thorough and makes sure to keep you up to date on everything. The experience and process was excellent. I can't thank Elizabeth enough!!!"

    Charles S.

  • "Elizabeth was extremely helpful during the whole process. She was very personable and took time to learn about me and the person I was buying the ring for. Elizabeth made sure to take the time to educate me about buying a diamond and all of the nuances in the process. Upon telling her what I wanted she was great about showing me great options in my budget and being very patient as I made my decision."Item

    David H.

  • "Elizabeth was super helpful throughout the entire process. I came in the store with only clues of what to get my now fiancé , and Elizabeth helped guide me to the perfect setting and diamond. She LOVES it! Once selected, communication was excellent. Elizabeth kept me updated at every step. She even used caution to not ruin the surprise. Even after the proposal, she kept in contact to make sure it went off without a hitch. I highly recommend, and will be coming back."

    Curtis M.

  • "I highly recommend Elizabeth Cooper. She spent several weeks helping me find and customize the perfect ring in my price range and never pushed me to spend more or do anything I wasn't comfortable with. I could tell she was passionate about her work and she genuinely cared about helping. She even asked me to let her know when I am engaged because she was excited to hear about it. If you buy a ring, buy it from here!"

    Christian G.

  • "Elizabeth assisted us with building and customizing the perfect engagement ring. She did an amazing job putting everything from text to reality. We stopped by several Jewelry stores before and were told what we were looking for was never going to happen. Needless to say, Elizabeth found the perfect old miners cut diamond, and the perfect setting clasp and ring. My soon to be Mrs. Is extremely happy with how smooth the process went, and her dream ring being the finished product. Thank you so much!!!"

    Kegan B.

  • “We didn't know what we wanted going into the engagement ring buying process and she walked us through all of our options and explained everything! She is so friendly and knowledgeable. She made an intimidating process almost effortless. Call Elizabeth for a consult and you won't be sorry.”

    Tara U.

  • "Elizabeth Cooper is fantastic to work with. Purchasing an engagement ring is such an overwhelming process especially during Covid. There are so many virtual and online options but sometimes it's the piece of mind that talking to a human beings. She is knowledgeable and patient. She will help you narrow down what it is that you're wanting. I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase jewelry."
