The business is apparently only owned and operated by an elderly couple, who are poor communicators, speak english poorly, and in hindsight, showed signs of early stage dementia. However, they seemed harmless and Intercontinental Jewelers has supposedly been in Houston for several years, so I felt safe.
After I decided on a custom engagement ring design and a loose diamond for the setting, I paid 50% up front. What I wasn't prepared for next were those early signs of dementia I mentioned: constant indecision on the price (on the part of the owner!), delays, excuses, and downright lies. Finally after threatening to sue and issuing a chargeback on my credit card (thankfully I paid with credit for the protection!) I was able to get my 50% back that I had put down on my custom engagement ring.
Moral of the story: ICJ Diamonds / Intercontinental Jewelers is to be avoided at all costs!! The owners belong in a nursing home, not in a jewelry store ripping off unsuspecting customers.
Here is a load of BS from their website:

To save face, the owners are apparently attempting to pretend this is spam or that the situation never took place. They post here pretending as though they'll be helpful, but it's just a facade. Avoid intercontinental jewelry!!

#3 UPDATE Employee
Inter-Continental Jewelers is Being Harassed
AUTHOR: Anne M - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 20, 2012
I am an employee at Inter-Continental Jewelers and have first hand observation of the customer service Suzanne provides. It is always excellent and she is an expert in the area of diamonds and jewelry. Inter-Continental Jewelers is a reputable company with 35 years in the business. We have been experiencing a campaign of negative reviews from what we suspect is a single disgruntled customer or former employee. We are working to resolve the issue but unfortunately we do not know exactly who this person is as they have never addressed there issues with us directly. We encourage our customers to bring any problem they may have with the product or service to our attention so that we can resolve it. Please feel to contact us, visit our website or come to our showroom if you have any questions, concerns or needs. We have spent some time investigating this barrage of negative reviews that we have received just this week and it is apparent to us that they are fraudulent as they each contain similar wording, they are from anonymous sources that span the whole country and even in different countries and it is the typical way spam is distributed. Thank you, Intercontinental-Jewelers.

We have been in business for the past 35 years and take great pride in our customer service. I am very willing to work with any customer who has a complaint. Here is my e-mail address. Please write to me at your earliest.
Thanks, Suzanne Grover
