Wow that was far from my experience (but I'm certainly not going to discount yours!)

I went in with my (then) soon to be fiancee (now wife), we explained what we were looking for, and got a very beautiful tanzanite ring for under $1k, including resizing.

They even opened champagne for us, and gave us a bunch of coupons for couples things around the area.

They did take us over to the $10k+ engagement section first however 🤣

Also had a bad experience with Henne! My then boyfriend tried emailing and calling for pricing on engagement rings and got ignored. So he went in there and tried to talk to someone - he had an idea and just needed a little extra guidance. They treated him like garbage and basically tried to kick him out. He was wearing nice work clothes and had a reasonable budget so he was very off put by it. He went to Mathew Jewelers and they treated him like a king there. Any time I’m in Shadyside, I’ve thought of walking in their with my diamond and sapphire rings and pulling a Pretty Woman on them lol

Husband and I got our wedding bands from Henne and had a great experience. They also resized my engagement ring in a day. I plan to go back there to have a few other pieces cleaned and appraised.
