Love Notes

“This is an amazing jewelry store. The designs are so unique and beautiful and the customer service is beyond compare. The quality and workmanship are perfect. I am looking forward to the “custom” earrings they are making possible for me.”

– Anette Snyder

“The customer service has been outstanding. We began our journey with Constance at John Atencio at Park Meadows Mall as we passed by and spontaneously decided to pop in and take a look. She helped to quickly identify our tastes for ring type, deign, and modifications away from a diamond center-piece. She and my soon-to-be husband, Todd, worked together to obtain the ring before a planned trip to the Grand Canyon so that he could propose. It was perfect. Chris has been spectacular as well. As we looked for wedding bands, he has been amazing in helping to create something special for us. I am not a diamond girl; Chris has been patient and an excellent communicator as we have worked to create the design with a rainbow of stones! Their attention to detail during this process has made all the difference in creating a very special symbol of our forever lives together.”

– Stella Mirelle

“My fiance and I were shopping for my wedding band, we instantly felt very welcome by all of the staff. We had plenty of time left before we needed to decide, there was no rush. With the great attitude of Lisa and Leslie, combined with the comfortable ambiance and interesting selection of jewelry we felt comfortable enough to move forward and get the ring with them. The whole process was comfortable and relaxed. We designed a ring together and it came out great.”
