I have to admit that I do like my jewelry ... though I wouldn't necessarily say that diamonds are a girl's best friend ... maybe more like emeralds and sapphires. My sister had her killer set designed by Christopher and so I was looking for a custom style (though much MUCH less ostentatious than hers) for mine. My coworker also had hers custom designed by Christopher so I was sold on giving him our business. Add to the fact that they are in our neighborhood and are a local small business we'd like to support.
Christopher is a nice guy and they did a great job on my jewelry as well as other jewelry I brought in. All of his work is well done, with quick turn-around times, honest quotes, affordable and he is very creative and skilled... plus he can just about re-create any Cartier piece for a fraction of the price!
I still visit from time to time for cleanings and just to browse..hoping to treat myself to an emerald ring Cornellis Hollander of Scottsdale designed that I think Christopher can replicate with some changes ... one of these days.
