We were, and continue to be, extremely impressed by Christopher Duquet. We visited Duquet’s store early on in our search for an engagement ring, and consider ourselves very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Christopher, himself. We didn’t have a definite idea of what we wanted, and Christopher was a very helpful, no-pressure guide through figuring that out. The store and the staff are well organized, and we got to look at, and try on a broad variety of rings. The jewelry in the cases was beautiful and unique, and covered a wide range of styles from vintage to classic to modern. While we were taking in the variety, Christopher made it clear that if we had other ideas, or wanted to incorporate other elements into an existing ring, he assured us that just about anything we wanted could be created.
For my fiancée’s ring, we wanted to incorporate some stones that had belonged to both of our grandmothers. Christopher totally welcomed that, and did a beautiful job of balancing and matching our existing stones with a few additional accent diamonds, for a breath-taking finished product.
We were immediately comfortable working with Christopher, but after our initial visit to his store, we felt like we should still get an idea of what else was out there. We visited three other jewelry stores, but to us, none of them compared with Christopher’s selection and prices. Since delivery of the final product, my fiancée has required a few additional visits in order to perfect the fit of the ring. Christopher has continued to work with her personally, and is obviously dedicated to making sure that she is completely satisfied. He continues to exceed our expectations.
