good quality was just what i wanted nice and professional didnt push anything on us

I found Brad by chance when I googled “jewelers + my zip code”. His name struck me because he included his middle initial.
I emailed him a picture of the setting that made me fall in love with the radiant diamond shape, and he responded extremely fast, and he didn’t mess around when he quoted his prices. “If I have to custom make it in white gold it will start at $500.00 plus gold weight. If it's a mounting I can order, cost may be around $350.00”. Sounded fair so I made an appointment to come see him.

When he looked at my ring, he instantly noticed the poor workmanship - pointing out that the stone was crooked, the setting way too high, and the metal was extremely too thin. When I told him how much I had paid, and how the whole mess went down I could see shock, and a little regret on his face. I can only imagine what he could have offered me for $3K.

There was no pressure, no “it depends on this, and that” games. No lies. He came correct.
I knew he was the jeweler I wanted to rectify the mess my diamond was in so I placed a $200 deposit that same day.

The next week I retuned to view a similar setting he’d ordered in for me, and I seriously considered it - but in the end I didn’t want to risk getting something else I wasn’t completely happy with so after much thought I went the custom route. He began work almost immediately.

Brad was very conscious of our budget situation, and how much trouble we’d had with the past jeweler so he always had a suggestion on ways we could save money, but never made me feel cheap.
The metal for my ring is X1 white gold - it would keep its shine a lot longer than regular white gold, plus he mentioned that wear and tear maintenance (buffing, and such) wouldn’t be needed as often. But the best part? It costs the same as regular white gold.

I brought in old, and unused jewelry to put towards the cost of the ring. My receipt says 26.9 dwt gold scrap jewelry. When I went back a week later to put more money towards the ring and he told me I had almost $300 worth in scrap gold!

When we picked up the finished ring, we were in awe! We couldn’t believe how pretty it looked! The setting was almost exactly like the original picture. My only complaint is that I would have liked more space in between the double shanks, like the picture I showed him. Other than that, it was practically the same as the picture. The prongs were strong, but not sharp. The diamond was low on the setting, keeping it modest, and minimizing the chance of snagging it on something, or someone. Also all four sides are clearly open and you can even see the entire pavilion/cutlet from the inside of the band allowing for maximum sparkle. He does good work - I highly recommend him.

Brad and his staff are amazing! His designer, Jennifer designed a engagement ring that I couldn't have even dreamed of. It went beyond expectations. Jennifer spent lots time with my husband going over ideas he had for the ring and showing him sketches. She also had me come in so she could meet with me as well. She got to know me and my taste in jewelry. Her attention to detail , personalization and creativity created the ring of my dreams. Brad was always very personable and has helped in reselling some of my jewelry as well. Great, honest people that will give you the best quality and deal possible. My husband also just bought diamond earrings from Jennifer that are unbelieveable. She knew the perfect gift for me!
