Baribault Jewelers' 75th Diamond Anniversary Diamond Giveaway

Commemoration Celebration Continues by Offering 2-Carat Lab Diamond Valued at $6,000 to Soon-To-B Engaged Couple

Most couples in love consider themselves fortunate to have found the perfect partner in each other. Now, one lucky Connecticut couple will hit the jackpot by winning a free 2-carat diamond! Specifically, Baribault Jewelers, a family-owned, fine jewelry company in Glastonbury, Conn, today announced an exciting, exclusive program, which will gift a stunning, colorless, 2-carat B-Lab diamond valued at $6,000 to a couple on Thursday, July 27, 2023. The new initiative is one of the many activities commemorating the jewelry business’ 75th diamond anniversary, as well as the launch of the store’s enhanced B Bridal Department that delivers an exceptional ‘Engaged Couples Experience.’

“When you finally find the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, there’s a lot of planning to do before you walk down the aisle, most notably, shopping for an engagement ring that fits your budget,” said Lewis Baribault, Jr., co-owner of Baribault Jewelers. “We want to make this process easy by offering one of the most luxurious trends in bridal jewelry today- a lab-grown diamond - to be set as one’s engagement ring.“

Baribault notes that lab-grown diamonds are skyrocketing in popularity for their size, clarity and affordability, costing 30-50% less than their natural counterparts. B Lab diamonds are created in-house, using a proprietary chemical vapor disposition process that produces gems identical to natural ones. Each B-lab diamond is GIA-certified and laser inscribed for identification. For maximum brightness, every B Lab diamond is F color or better, known as a colorless diamond. They are guaranteed VS2 clarity or better, with no inclusions visible to the naked eye. For the best sparkle and performance, Baribault offers only the highest cut grades in the industry.
“The result is so beautiful that only a skilled gemologist can tell the difference between the natural and man-made diamonds,” adds Baribault. “We want everyone to know that yes, it is possible to get a stunning engagement stone for a fraction of the price of traditional diamonds.”
Details of the 2-carat lab diamond program include:

Being the first jewelry store in Glastonbury, founding father Philip Baribault Sr, was inspired to bring an amazing array of diamonds and innovative jewelry designs to his hometown, while offering outstanding customer service. Although the inventory in the display cases has changed since 1948, the Baribault family’s impeccable reputation for delivering a very personalized shopping experience has remained the same, as has their quick adaptation to industry developments.

In fact, the company is on a mission to become Connecticut’s premier bridal jewelry destination with the recent debut of its new B-Bridal “Engaged Couples Experience” to address the current popularity of couples looking for engagement rings together.

“According to a recent survey in Brides magazine, 62 percent of couples now go engagement ring shopping together rather than one person doing it solo,” said Baribault. “Our ‘Engaged Couples Experience’ is designed to address this timely trend, pamper the couple, and take the stress out of finding the perfect ring.”

The ‘Engaged Couples Experience’ consists of:

  • A champagne toast
  • A sit-down consultation to determine the type, style and budget for the ring
  • A 10% discount on wedding bands
  • A separate consultation with the future groom to plan the perfect proposal with creative ideas from the team.

On Google reviews, customer Shawn Fonesca from Newington, CT writes: “I had such a great experience buying my engagement ring with Baribault. They were an incredible resource, teaching me about diamonds, certifications, and the industry as a whole. The entire team at Baribault was so willing and they helped me find the perfect diamond. My fiancé couldn’t be happier!”

Says Heather Roy of Colchester, CT: “Working with Baribault Jewelers was a fantastic experience! The team of diamond advisors helped my now husband with my engagement ring, helped guide him and hear his ideas. When it came time for our wedding bands, they let me mix and match and helped to guide me when I was unsure. I couldn’t recommend Baribault Jewelers enough!”

As part of its diamond anniversary celebration, Baribault Jewelers hosted a ribbon rededication ceremony during the spring with state, municipal and civic leaders and will continue to unveil a new festivity each month of the year, including:

  • a presentation of a key to the town by Glastonbury Town Manager Jonathan Luiz
  • $7,500 worth of giveaways to customers
  • $75 discounts on select jewelry pieces from the Baribault vault
  • a public unveiling of the Baribault “Diamond-tini” drink at the Rooftop 120 restaurant
  • and many other exciting educational programs, demonstrations, and exclusive collections

“We attribute our success over the past 75 years to our welcoming and thriving community that has sustained us and the 2-carat lab diamond giveaway is just another extension of our extreme gratitude,” concludes Baribault.
