I could not imagine a better experience buying gemstones. I was looking for a blue sapphire for an engagement ring, and I walked away with a beautiful custom ring for my special lady! Michael spent over an hour with me on our first meeting discussing all of the ins and outs of sapphires. I did my research before going, but I learned so much more from him. He even showed me other colored sapphires just so I could learn a bit more about the stone. Michael then offered to connect me with other industry members to make my own custom ring. I didn’t want to do anything too wild, but the craftsman’s ship showed. I was able to get exactly the ring I wanted for a fraction of the price. The center piece, a gorgeous blue sapphire, catches the eye and my fiancée loves it! Michael was very accommodating, even coming in to meet me on the weekend to coordinate with my work schedule. The turn around time from choosing the design to receiving the finished product was outstanding. He even gave me a beautiful box to put the ring in. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a gemstone or have any other work done with jewelry.
