Happy Stories From our customers

This pink moissanite ring surely has to be one of the most eye-catching ring in our collection. Our clients who’ve purchased this dazzler constantly tell us how many comments they get from friends and family. But more than that, it’s visually pleasing to the wearer.

These colors are so inviting and soothing that simply looking at them lifts your spirits and makes you feel special. Isn’t that what all jewelry should do?

It’s also a great way to try moissanite. Some get a little nervous buying an engagement ring with moissanite but a pretty colored gem on a non-wedding ring seems a little less risky.

And at a price like this, you can’t beat it.

MSRP: $2,169.00
Our Price: $1,505.00

“Hi Joe!  I received the package today, and started wearing the sapphire ring immediately (saving the wedding band for the wedding day :) ).  They’re beautiful!  I’ve already gotten compliments on the ER!

Thanks so much for spending so much time with me and really listening to exactly what I wanted, both in terms of design and each individual element of the ring — the fact that you were able to find metal that was hypoallergenic AND recycled (and not out of my price range); create the ring from Moissanites, but not only that, find the rare sizes of 1.6mm, 1.3mm, AND 1mm to craft the perfect ring; and find the best lab created sapphire in the exact size I wanted — all of that is totally amazing and is a testament to your superb customer service.  I told the story of how we figured out the design and all the components to my future parents-in-law, and they were so touched to hear how hard you worked to put this amazing ring that so perfectly fits my aesthetics and my values!  I can’t wait to be able to wear both rings together!  Thanks so much for crafting this most special set of rings!

“My favorite part of the ring (besides the way it will look) is that it is completely eco — recycled, allergy-free metal and completely synthetic, non-mined stones.  To me, this is a quintessentially custom ring fitting exactly what I want — not just the way I want it to look, but also the components completely fit my values.  One suggestion for your website — I think writing short blurbs about what people wanted when you were coming up with the ring design would be cool — I loved looking at all the different designs (and I was heartened by the fact that all the designs looked so different — a testament, I was thinking, to the fact that you really make the ring fit the tastes of your customer, rather than your own taste). . . .”

This is so unbelievable! I keep staring at this boulder that sparkles like the stars! Actually I do believe that if there is life on another planet, they are sure to mistake my ring for a distant sun!!!! I truly do not know how to thank you all for the time and effort you placed into making this amazing piece of art. Beth, I thank you especially from my entire heartfelt gratitude!

M is lecturing the kids on where to shop for jewelry. He just finished telling one of my daughters boyfriend where to buy her engagement ring!

He said that he will never walk into a jewelry store again, unless we are visiting my step brother in Arizona, and stop in to see you guys.

We have decided that I am going to have you guys work on my original wedding rings for our next anniversary! So you will hear from us next spring. Keep us in your files.

I have to go now. My tears are making it hard for me to see what I am typing. This ring was well worth the wait (almost 3 decades)!!!

Please thank the jeweler who created this masterpiece for us with a kiss on his cheek!!!!!

Your forever customers,

T & M

Joe-

Thank you so much!  My apologies for not writing you sooner….  E LOVES her ring!  I see her looking at it often and she asks me if I like it too.  The ring looks great and the changes you made were perfect.  The design is elegant and makes the stone appear to be floating.  She has commented to me several times about how much she enjoys it.  She has also received many compliments about her ring and has already passed on your information to people who were interested.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding dealing with us.  I know that it has been a long time, but I appreciate you not pressuring us and letting us take our time.  It was worth the wait from our end!!  I would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends, family and acquaintances and will contact you if we EVER need anything else.

Thank you again

Looking for a creative way to present a beautiful piece of jewelry to your loved one? Here’s one that involves two of our favorite things: jewelry and chocolate. It’s from our prior Current Custom Projects page found here.

We added more diamonds down the sides of the shank and up the prongs and added double claw prongs to B.M.’s ring.

Here is something to think about – your jewelry needs maintenance! Like your cars, your clothing, your fine timepieces, your fine jewelry will also need a little TLC from time to time to bring out the luster and the sparkle and to make it look like new again. Fine jewelry is made from precious metals like platinum, 14kt or 18kt gold, or palladium. These metals are soft and over time they will scratch and scuff and loose their luster. In addition, most of the white gold jewelry made today has a rhodium plating on it to give it that bright white color that we all expect white gold to have. Over time this, too, will wear exposing the off color white gold beneath. The result is a worn, dull and faded looking piece.

In addition, through normal every day wear, your jewelry will build up layers of dirt, soap, lotion, oils, etc. underneath the stones causing them to loose their brilliance looking dull and lifeless.

Not to worry, that’s what our Full Spa Treatment is all about. We’ll give your fine jewelry the attention and care it deserves making it look like new again. The Full Spa Treatment involves a professional polishing, ultrasonic cleaning, high pressure steaming, rhodium plating, and stone tightening when necessary. We’ll also look your piece over to make sure it’s in tip top condition. This is the kind of cleaning and attention you just can’t do at home on your own!

Give us a call or send us an email to arrange for a Full Spa Treatment for your precious jewelry.

Here’s a before and after example of a ring that needed a little TLC.

We’re seeing quite a few of these older cut stones lately – and we think they’re amazing! If only these stones could talk. . . . . . This one belongs to a friend of ours who brought her ring in for the Full Spa Treatment. Looks like new again!
