I knew I wanted an original ring, but I had no idea what exactly I wanted. I was also afraid that having a someone make a custom ring for me would be too expensive! My fiance really wanted me to have a ring, so we visited a local jeweler in Menomonie. It was a woman at the coop that referred me, and I thought her ring looked nice.
Robert Giede was an amazing person to work with. He is an artist, and he has the ability to understand what a client wants. The ring was made to custom fit my hand, all the groves, and when I look at it, I am just so happy!
What makes the ring unique (I guess I should expand on that), is that Robert Giede can work with the materials you bring in (i.e.: stones, or gold). Though my ring is just a binding of several bands, we toyed with the idea of getting a meaningful semi-precious stone. Robert Giede also lets us talk with him throughout the entire process, and provides us with a caste of the ring before he sets it. We could have made last minutes changes if we needed to!
And the cost was nothing when you see and feel the workmanship of the ring. I am so happy with the final product, I happily suggest this as an alternative for the person who wants more than just the gold band and with a diamond in the center. I feel that my ring really shows how special our married lives will be together.
