I initially found Northfield Goldsmiths on Etsy, and I'm glad I did! For my fiance (now wife), I wanted a unique, stand-out ring. I found the mass produced rings from the major jewelry stores to be uninspiring, and unworthy for that special someone (too many similar designs). As soon as I saw Northfield Goldsmith's shop on Etsy, I was sold. Mr. Olsson's (the owner) designs are top-tier; I have never seen rings like his. It helped that Northfield Goldsmith is a physical business (opposed to an individual selling online) with a 30+ year history. When you're doing business from over 1K miles away (I'm in Orlando, FL), you need all the reassurances you can get. When I initially contacted Mr. Olsson via email, his passion for his craft flew right off the screen, and made my choice an easy one. He worked with me every step of the way, and was very accommodating (he even expedited the shipment of the ring for me). In the end, he crafted a wonderful, wonderful ring with a tanzanite stone accented by diamonds. It makes a lot of girls jealous. Heck, even I admire it every time I see it! :-) Thank...

He met with me three times and each time we set up an appointment for 1 hour to make sure the diamond was the one I wanted. Never did he try to sell me anything. He put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. Gudmund is someone you can trust and he will leave you feeling assured and confident in your decision. He guided me the entire time and even met with me on July 3rd when the shop was closed because he thought it would be a great idea for me to have the engagement ring by the 4th of July. My fiancé loves the ring. It's beautiful and so unique! We are so happy with the finished product that we are going to Gudmund to have our...
Read moreGudmund was a pleasure to work with when I was choosing an engagement ring for my fiance. He has an array of beautiful and unique designs and a strong attention to detail. When selecting a ring with my fiance, he thoroughly explained all the ring specs and was patient when walking us through options; this was greatly appreciated given our tendency to be indecisive. The result was a one of a kind ring that she fell in love with. We can't wait to visit him for our wedding bands. Thank...
