Summary

James Allen feature some excellent designs of fine jewelry. The website is well laid out with fantastic photographs and 3 Dimensional views so you can see what you're buying. There is even a 3D hand view with the product shown as it would look when worn on the hand. No other jewelry site displays their products in such a clear and honest way. They have a good gift ideas section where they will show you all the jewelry available at a certain budget.

Although the website makes their products look very exclusive and expensive many reviews from their customers comment on how cheap their prices are. One client has saved thousands on the diamond he bought for an engagement ring. Having no retail locations to pay for is probably the reason their prices are so reasonable. Overall James Allen is a well made site with well made products.
