Vintage Engagement Ring...Re-imagined.

This Summer, we had the pleasure of working with a long time client.  She is always on the move, crisscrossing the country.  Boston is a frequent stop for her, however the West Coast is where she calls home.  She has a deep appreciation for all jewelry, so we can all connect on that level creating some amazing pieces for her through the years. Recently she became engaged, her fiancĂ© gave her an amazing and unique vintage ring including twin European cut diamonds bezel set side by side on top if the ring.  The condition of the ring was typical for a ring that is over 100 years old.  The shank was worn, thin and split.  All the settings on the sides were worn as well as the under gallery being compromised by wear over the years.

Our client loves color, so to truly make this ring hers and one she would love to wear for years to come, she wanted to incorporate (somehow) an
incredible gem in the center sandwiched between the two twin diamonds.  She has an impressive collection of loose gemstones in various shades and intensities, but a cushion shaped sapphire with intense color was the perfect selection. The bezel setting was created in CAD and fitted into place, however the remainder of the transformation was hand tooled in our workshop.  Our team worked together to make our client's dream of the perfect 'enhanced" engagement ring possible.

When our customer arrived to pick up her ring, she was overjoyed.  Not only was her vintage ring restored to a wearable condition for everyday use, but her ring had transformed into the style that she had always envisioned for her engagement ring.  Having vision and trust in the design and restoration process to create a spectacular heirloom to enjoy for many years to come.

You be the judge...

Thank You's from our Customers
Word of mouth, yelp, friend of a friends recommendation, blogger, celebrity endorsements, gossip, websites, newspapers, facebook, twitter and so many more ways to get a recommendation or review . These can all become incredibly confusing when you're looking for a reputable jeweler. Most of the time friend recommendations and yelp are the most honest; there's no money involved, a friend truly cares and when there's a screen between you and the owner, the opinions tend to be more honest.

Over the years we've relied on multiple ways of review to help keep our reputation going in a positive direction. Repuation is one of the hardest "businesses" to maintain. Since Yelp, City Search and other websites were introduced we have maintained our reputation and client satisfaction in a direct way that our thank you notes or cards could never be translated. 

 Each new review tells a story or something unique that we may have never known about each client.  Here is an example: "Let me take some time to express how grateful we are for the amazing work you did on the ring. It is hard to convey how very pleased we are with the way the restoration came out. The ring is truly exquisite. To say you brought the ring back to it's original glory would be an understatement. You have given us an heirloom our family can truly cherish and be proud of."
