David and Amy are wonderful, so helpful and easy to work with. They got back to me quickly with designs and revisions, and went out of their way to fix something that wasn't even their fault. Very reasonable prices and great quality and craftsmanship. Glad to have found a great local jeweler - I'll definitely be returning.

David completes our vision of our rings. And as a fact, he also helped design and made my earring and bracelet which are so unique and beautiful! Heart!!

TL;DR: David helped me with both my fiancé’s engagement ring and wedding band and both were beyond my expectations; my fiancé is over the moon.

Last fall I decided that it was time to take the next step with my now-fiancé (meaning I was pretty sure she’d say yes!) so the ring shopping began. My fiancé didn’t give a ton of direction on the design of ring she was interested in, and I knew that the big-box stores were not going to deliver the quality, uniqueness, or value I’d prefer; so I decided to go with a custom design, meaning I would purchase the center stone and then hire a designer to make the actual band.

A quick Google search will give you the advantages of building a custom ring versus picking up something from a jewelry chain or department store, but a disadvantage to doing so is you can’t see the work IRL beforehand. The Internet took me to Pricescope- an online community of folks that are REALLY serious about their custom jewelry- and that’s where I came across David’s name. There were many testimonials to the quality of his work and on the various posts, some posts going back years; further, David keeps an updated Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/davidklassjewelry) where you can see the finished product. The 5-star reviews from his past customers and the posted work on his Insta page convinced me to take the chance on David.

After settling on my center stone (shout out to Jonathan at https://www.distinctivegem.com) and getting a ring design in mind, I emailed David with the details to get an idea of pricing. He could not have been better, getting back to me within 24 hours with a list of the exact info that he needed to give me a quote. From there I provided him the specs of the center stone, my ring’s design details, and inspiration pictures of similar rings; within the week he got back to me with (quite competitive) pricing and a timeline. With the design and price agreed upon, David was able to make a computer design of the ring and even mailed me a life-sized, 3D printed design sample so I could see it in person. He quickly answered any questions that I had and even gave some useful suggestions. The whole design process was taken care of via email over the course of a week or so; it was no sweat. David even showed flexibility when unforeseen circumstances caused a delay in my center stone. When the center stone was ready, I had it mailed directly to David, he confirmed receipt and got to work. He’d estimated the engagement band would take 5 weeks, but completed the ring sooner than that. Upon completion I received professional photos of the ring and gave the final approval. He then overnighted the ring to my home address where I could inspect it in person before submitting payment; he even included an appraisal which was useful for insuring the ring.

The final product was a homerun, and 5 months later I still catch my fiancé staring at the ring with a smile on her face. We used David again for the wedding band, and I’ll be going to him for any jewelry designs we need in the future. I cannot recommend him and his work highly enough!
