Elements is a small independent jewelery place in downtown Royal Oak. Brendan is the owner and then there appears to be one other guy, who we call "The Apprentice." Brendan has done a ton of work for my family and it is always flawless. His store is full of interesting things, but he specializes in custom work, which is what my e-ring and wedding band are. He works very hard for his customers, educating you about stones, giving his opinions, but always checking with you first. His work is beautiful and way more affordable than if you went to a chain place. He also did my husband's ring,which is great. I highly recommend this place.
