Kessler's is junk! And Richard Kessler himself is not a nice person, don't trust him. Just because he does his own radio commercials, it's all a marketing gimic.

I had the most excellent experience at Kessler's. I dealt with Richard's son and he was very knowledgeable and his help aided me in picking out the right ring for my wife to be. The price and quality were also bar-non best I saw. I've always hated the commercials, but this place is top notch.

I turn his commercials OFF. Can't stand the guy. Wish the Huth brothers from PM Bedroom would get off the radio waves, too.

Collector's Edge can burn for all I care.
