I am completely thrilled with my engagement ring and our wedding bands! I admire the rings every day. My engagement ring is unique, with a beautiful vintage setting and the quality of the engraving is superb. Villy and Christopher provided the greatest consideration to our design, staying within our budget. They were so knowledgeable, talented, and professional. The process of the custom design, diamond choice, and fittings assured us and gave us complete satisfaction. The designs and gems throughout the store were exquisite. I hope to work together with them in the future to create more lovely jewelry for me!
