He was wonderful to work with. I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted to my ring to look like and he designed a beautiful ring. Then when it came to the band it was tough but he made one that worked so well with my ring. We had a tough time finding a ring for my husband because he wanted a plain band with a brushed center and every other jewler wanted so much money for them. So I asked Rick what he could do and he usually doesn't do brushed jewlery but it came out great. When my husband went to pick it up 2 days before the wedding it didn't fit because he had gained some weight. So Rick made another ring and had it the next day for us! My wedding band with 3 diamonds was $500 and his wedding band was $400, so I think they were very great pieces of art for the money. I didn't ask my husband how much my engagement ring was but he says it was alot.
