"Many of my friends had horror stories about engagement ring shopping-- from the millions of decisions, to not fully understanding the difference between two settings. I had originally started shopping at a few larger retailers, but I left feeling even more confused and feeling like I was being "sold" to-- either on the warranty or stone size. A few friends recommended that I meet with Andy; I wish I would have saved myself the time and just started with him. The process, from start to finish was seamless and the outcome was perfection. Andy is a true artist. He was extremely helpful and patient with all of my questions. More importantly, I could see the pride he had in his work and reputation. Andy is in the business, because he loves it -- after meeting him, I knew he put his heart into his work. I met with Andy a few times to look at different stones and designs. He crafted up the most beautiful ring. It’s absolutely incredible; and the look on my wife's face when she saw it, was equally incredible. Many of my wife's coworkers or friends have gotten their own rings modeled after it. Andy always kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and even sent me a video of him casting the ring-- which is so cool! I can't stress enough the amount of pride Andy puts into his work. All he cares about is making sure his clients are happy with his product, and he sure as heck stands behind that. I will always refer friends to Andy when it comes time for ring shopping. If you're reading this review, at the very least visit him and see his work in person. You will not be disappointed." -Andrew S.

"Andy and I have been working together for years on a business level. He has always turned my projects in a reasonable time providing excellent service. Recently I injured my finger and had to have my wedding ring of 25 years removed in ER. When I got home I knew exactly who to contact. I sent my ring from WI up to Andy to have it resized. Upon inspection he informed me my center diamond prongs needed to be replaced which is reasonable after 25 years of heavy wear and tear. I approved to have that done. I told him I was never a big fan of the quality of trillian stones on the sides. Andy set out to find me the right stones to match my center Stone. He had to order twice to get the right color so my ring would look stunning. When I received my ring back it was amazing and it was a tad to big. Not his fault my fault for not waiting for all the swelling to go down before measure my finger. I sent the ring back up and a week later he overnight it to me again. Andy provided stellar customer service and quality workmanship on a ring he did not sell. My wedding ring looks like brand new. He hand polished it and I feel like a new bride. Thanks Andy for your love and passion of the jewelry industry." -Myra S.

"I followed Andy for years on social media and admired his work before I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to have a ring designed by him. I can’t recommend this experience enough. If I could give more than five stars on this rating, I would! Having never gone through the process of working with a jewelry designer before, I was worried that our budget wouldn’t be big enough for a nice looking ring. Andy gave us exactly what we wanted - and honestly more - for less than our budget. He’s a professional and fun guy to work with, who goes above and beyond for his clients. Everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Andy to my family and friends! Five + stars!" -Michele S.

"The most stunning and meaningful piece of jewelry I will ever own. 

Having diamonds and metals from the rings of three of the women I love the most, combined into this beautiful necklace for my wedding day.... I am speechless. 

​

I didn’t cry when I picked out my wedding dress, but I definitely cried like a baby when my aunt gave me this necklace. You are a true artist, I will cherish this necklace for the rest of my life."

"When my fiance and I started talking about marriage we knew we wanted a sapphire center stone for my ring. I had fallen in love with a padparadscha color sapphire which he bought (online!) for me, but we needed a local jeweler to set it. We searched and searched, and while I thought many rings were beautiful nothing quite felt like "me". Finally we found Andy and as I browsed his portfolio I realized I loved everything he made! Plus, he was kind and very easy to work with when we met with him. I felt so comfortable leaving most of the design up to him. I just showed him some examples of what I liked. Needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled when my fiance proposed with the ring, I could not believe how beautiful it turned out! And I cannot say how many times I've been stopped by a stranger to ask me about this ring. It looks as beautiful now as the day he gave it to me. If you want a custom wedding set, I cannot recommend Andy enough!" -Jennifer T.
