Amazing jewelry store

We decided to have a custom engagement ring made as I could not find what I was looking for. After wasting a couple months at another big names jewelry store, we took my idea to CMI. Within 1 week we had the ring mold back and shortly after that the actual ring and matching wedding band. I can not recommend CMI enough to everyone in the market for jewelry. You never feel pressured or overwhelmed there. The customer service is out of this world!

Forget diamonds have CMI your BBF

CMI's customer service is amazing! We bought both of our engagement rings there and then got our bands. They were able to help us find the perfect wedding band to compliment our different engagement rings. Highly recommend this team

Hands down the best jeweler I have ever been to! My fiance and I were shopping for engagement rings, and being non-traditional I did not want a diamond. Every single jeweler we went to prior to CMI pressured us into diamonds, diamonds, and more diamonds. I was told why certain things would not work and was not given other options. When we went to CMI we talked with Philicia who was amazing in helping pick out the setting and giving us ideas on stones. Their selection was amazing and Philicia let us spend as much time as we wanted trying on different styles. She helped us narrow down favorites, and suggested the band we ended up selecting! She scoured the gem markets for a pear shaped Tsavorite and a few weeks later it was in the store. It was beautiful, everything we wanted, and totally me. There was absolutely no pressure to buy at any point during our shopping experience, and we even got a discount for the future when we bought our bands (which we have also done!). CMI is amazing and I won't be going to any "big box" jewelry stores again!

We used CMI for my engagement ring and both wedding bands for my husband and I. Felicia was wonderful and super knowledgeable. She helped us stay within budget and still get beautiful rings! They are always prompt with resizing rings and are always willing to clean my engagement ring whenever I go to shop there.

We have LOVED working with CMI! My fiance went there under a recommendation from a friend to pick out my engagement ring. They were so helpful during that entire process (he had not idea what to get :)) - I love my ring! We then went back to have my ring sized and pick out wedding bands. Again, they made everything really easy and seamless - I think we had both picked out our bands and left in under 45 minutes! Definitely recommend CMI to anyone looking for the best service and quality!

My fiance and I decided to ring shop together so he would have an idea of the type of engagement ring I would prefer. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We did not feel rushed nor pressured in any way even though it was a bit of an overwhelming experience for us both. They had a large selection which made finding numerous rings for him to choose from a breeze. We plan to go back and purchase our bands there. I highly recommend this business!! It was a far better experience than those I have had in larger chain stores.

What a fabulous experience no matter the occasion! I personally had the pleasure of working with CMI when my boyfriend and I started talking about rings and getting married. It is almost impossible to not get suckered in with the Diamonds Direct radio commercials making you think that is the ONLY place to go, but honestly people do yourself a favor and go to CMI. I went to both places and bottom line there is no comparison. Diamonds Direct only showed me 2 diamonds - one had a black speck that they said no one would ever be able to see, then another diamond that was cleary yellowish. So it cracks me up to hear commercials where they brag about the number of diamonds you get to pick from. I got TWO!! I went to CMI and I was shown 6 diamonds in our price range. SIX!!! NONE with black specks, not a single one was yellow. CMI will showcase their diamonds on a white board so that you can see the clarity and bright crystal color. While looking at all of them, CMI will actually teach you all about the diamonds and educate you on what is about to be a LARGE purchase and also something you are going to wear the rest of your life. The service was unbeatable. One and one - you go into your own room to look and talk about all your options. At Diamonds Direct, I was lucky if I could hear the sales person (and yes I say sales because it could easily be compared to buying a car) I got a few elbows of people walking by - just complete chaos. If you want to know that you are making the best decision and absolutely getting the best and most for your money then definitely take the time to go to CMI! I can 99.9% promise you even if you do go check out Diamonds Direct you will totally appreciate and LOVE the experience at CMI so much better! Kim and Tim and his team are just so GREAT!!! CMI does not need commercials as their service and product speaks for itself. Word of mouth for such outstanding experience goes a lot further than commercials on the radio!

After my fiance worked with the jewlers at CMI to come up with the PERFECT engagement ring I knew we would have to go back to get our wedding bands. We loved the individual attention that we got from the moment we walked in the door. The sales person was friendly, asked questions and helped us find bands that fit our personal styles AND budget. He offered great feedback and even steered us away from a pricey designer towards an equally beautiful but far less expensive set. We would definitely recommend CMI to anyone looking!

Wonderful experience! My fiance walked into several jewelry stores in his work clothes and they didn't give him the time of day! He walked right in at CMI and was treated like he was the only customer in the store. When we went in to have my ring resized.... First of all, it was so fast! They caked back within an hour! Secondly, just in conversation we were talking about check ups to ensure that the diamond wasn't lose or anything and I mentioned my necklace was loose. They immediately took my necklace, which wasn't purchased there, tightened the setting and cleaned it for me, for free! Amazing experience and we'll never shop at another jewelry store!!!!
