I met Christopher 15 years ago when we had him design updated wedding bands for a wedding vow renewal ceremony at our 20 year anniversary. My husband and I recently traveled to South Africa and I found a gorgeous 8 carat Tanzanite stone for a 35 year anniversary ring. I knew that Christopher would create a ring setting that would highlight the beauty of the stone and after a few meetings he created a design that I will enjoy for the rest of my life! I would give him 10 stars if I could.

The final ring (pictured) is more than I could have hoped for. I love it and every time I look down at it I am reminded of a memory of one of my four grandparents. It’s a gift to wear and I will forever recommend Christopher Duquet. You cannot go wrong working with them!

Christopher Duquet’s designs are absolute brilliance. I’m in love with the ring he designed for me. Pure creative genius.

Knowledgeable. Friendly. Unique. That’s what I was looking for in a jeweler and Christopher Duquet delivered in every respect. I provided some general artistic guidance in what I was looking for in my fiancé’s engagement ring and the team created something truly special. Friends and family have made numerous admiring remarks since our engagement earlier this week. It’s a real testament to the Christopher Duquet team and I must tip my hat. Based on the results I will undoubtedly be a repeat customer for the wedding band!
