Well, first off I decided to surprise my fiance to be with an engagement ring that I picked out on my own with scant details of what she wanted gathered covertly by me over time. She said yes on the day of reckoning, loved the diamonds, a 3 stone emerald cut, but wasn't exactly ecstatic with the setting, not to mention the size of the ring was off by quite a bit. So we headed off to Christopher's at the recommendation of one of the sales persons at the jeweler I purchased the ring from. Interesting huh?
So my fiance and I went for an initial consultation and right from the start we knew we were at the right place. Christopher was warm, welcoming, and a great listener. He spent a great deal of time listening to what my fiance wanted and worked with her to sketch a design of the new setting. Measurements were taken and the design process began. Christopher immediately went to work on a computer animated design that we received via email a week later. Shortly thereafter a wax rendition was made and we went for an initial fitting. My fiance loved the computer animated design and loved the wax rendition even more. Within a week the setting was cast in platinum and we went for a final fitting. The setting was stunning in person and made the original diamonds stand out quite a bit better than before. A week later the ring was completed and another presentation was undertaken. I couldn't predict how big her smile was to be when I presented it to her. She loved it and hasn't stopped talking about how beautiful it is now. Christopher delivered her dream engagement ring. She now has a unique, one of a kind, beautiful ring.
Throughout the design process we were kept well informed. The communication was top notch. His staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful when Christopher was not available. The craftsmanship and artistic design are second to none. You will not be disappointed. We are so pleased that our wedding bands will be made here. Thanks Christopher!
