If I could give Matthew 6 stars I could! He worked with my fiancé and I to design my engagement ring and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We first shopped around at other jewelers to get a sense of what styles I liked and was astounded at the range of quality out there (not that great) paired with very inflated price tags... We went with getting a custom ring to put the style I liked with the center stone we had. Matthew was able to help me refine the style of side stones that would best complement our center stone and ring style I liked with an eye on what also would look good on my hand proportionally. He helped us refine a custom design making sure it was exactly what we envisioned, made a resin model and then made the entire ring from start to finish at his shop. He is a true craftsman and helped us build a ring that was exactly what we had envisioned in a budget that was very reasonable!

I’m also grateful that this necklace has been able to bring this kind interaction into my life, I wish there were more people like this. I hope to pay it forward through showing the same kindness to others every day, and this necklace will be a reminder of...
Read moreWe had all of our rings made at Mathew Thomas Jewelers (my engagement ring, wedding band, and my husband's wedding band) in downtown Colorado Springs. He takes so much pride in the craftsmanship of these pieces. He worked one-on-one with my husband when he designed my engagement ring. They sat together and looked at various designs until my husband picked what he liked. When it was time for us to pick our wedding bands, he sat with us and let us look at each option. He even gave us recommendations on how to increase the longevity of the rings, and asked us to bring them in within a year so he could make sure they were holding up. His prices were very reasonable, and his service was top-notch! We highly...
