I’ve always dreamed of having a ring that would catch the eye of every person in the room and !Xam made it happen. The journey is exciting and the road to picking just the right jewelry store is difficult. I stumbled across Terry Brenner of !Xam quite by accident. Karma? I wasn’t looking for understated at this stage in my life (I’ve been married for 35 years). I had no idea what I wanted. From start to finish the process with !Xam was exceptional. They fulfilled my need to know. I did my own due diligence, studying about the 4C’s hearts and arrows, angles, percentages, dimensions, florescence – everything the Internet could feed me. I investigated diamonds for sale on the web, travelled to the diamond district in New York City, and even landing a tour of the magnificent 2nd floor showroom at Harry Winston’s. I picked every brain I could along the way. My journey at !Xam started with Terry choosing the right centre stone for me. The choices he presented didn’t hold a candle to the ones I saw from other high-end jewelers in the city. Terry was far more discerning. I wanted so much more than just “eye-clean”, I wanted a diamond that would dazzle the hell out of me. He worked with me through email until I narrowed it down and found my perfect diamond. Iris, overheard my conversation the first time I came in to meet with Terry’s brother, Jeffrey Brenner. She listened as I described my dream ring and we became instantly in-sync. She gets it. She helped me through the hardest part which was how was I going to showcase this beautiful stone. I wanted my ring to instantly widen every eye in the house. It had to take my breath away. With the help of Amber and Haleh, the designers, the process began; computer renderings, revisions, more revisions, actual 3D mold. They really listened. They could take my words and turn them into reality. Iris too, could pick up on my little nuances when I wasn’t quite sure, or didn’t know exactly how to express my thoughts. She, along with Amber and Haleh would brain-storm, alter, adjust, add detail and eventually I ended up with an eye-popping, breath-stopping, stunning ring that’s fit for royalty. There is a lot to be said for working with a competent, patient, skillful and talented team. Even the people I didn’t meet behind the scenes like the actual diamond setter did an incredible job. In short, these two brothers Jeffrey and Terry Brenner, owners of !Xam Diamonds are the real deal. Trust is paramount when making a huge purchase like this. !Xam goes directly from the diamond mines to the brilliance you end up with on your finger. They know the process every step of the way and have high ethics for how the diamonds are sourced, making sure they are also cut and polished in the country of origin. A special bonus was hearing from Jeffery about the journey my specific diamond took from the mine in Kimberly South Africa, to becoming this dazzling, sparkling ring now living permanently on my finger. My husband and I are extremely happy with the end result. Working with the crew at !Xam Diamonds was an enjoyable learning experience making this journey exciting , fun and totally gratifying. They made my dream come true.

Saying their prices are "inflated" is generous. Very minor things like taking a link out are a little expensive, but battery replacement, cleaning (which they'll do without even being asked) are a downright rip-off. Go somewhere else. There are better small shops around.

Got introduced to the family who runs Viewzen (inside Galleria) through a mutual friend and was very impressed with the quality of work, the value for money and the service. Have made multiple purchases over the years with no complaints.

Best prices in town and a wide variety of styles in gold and diamond jewelry.

I had an excellent experience, great service and high quality jewellery. I am Very impressed with the friendly service and great prices.

Be careful don't buy from this guy he is a theif sales fake Rolex watches, very bad person, garbage service. I bought a rolex from him and after i took it to other jeweller to test it they found it was fake and i tried to return it but he went nuts and he was yelling like crazy, this guy is abnormal.

I can't say enough about Kurtis Sales. They custom made my engagement ring and it turned out better than I could have imagined. The customer service is unreal! So helpful, knowledgeable and very understanding. I would recommend them to anyone! They've got life long customers with us.

I went in shopping for an engagement ring and was very pleased with the service I received. All the employees I dealt with were polite, professional, helpful, and best of all, I did not get any pressure to buy that I had felt at other stores. They were knowledgeable and very patient with all my questions. The store manager even went above and beyond what I would have expected in order to help me out (internet and fax wasn't working so she ran around the mall trying to find a way to send out the necessary paperwork). Overall a fantastic experience and I cannot recommend them anymore highly. You will not be disappointed.
