I cannot say enough positive things about this place! My husband upgraded my old wedding rings (re-used diamond from previous marriage = bad luck) for our 6th anniversary with a ring from a big chain store. He went with a beautiful oval diamond on a yellow gold cathedral setting, which he had seen me point out previously. I had an additional white gold and diamond band which I used to wear and I wore it with this new ring, I liked the way the white and yellow gold looked together. I also had an additional matching band, with a large set of prongs from where a diamond was mounted previously and I decided I wanted them as a wrap for this new yellow gold ring. This was a tough decision for me, it's a faux pas at my age to mix metals, after all! Once I got over the mixing metals hurdle, I realized I love love love it this way, and it matches everything I wear. I found this store during a Google search, but mentioned it to a coworker and discovered her best friend works there - Hailey. She advised she was working that day, so I took a lunch and ran straight to them! Hailey was super sweet and she saw my vision right away. She brought out Dan from the back and he also agreed this would make a stunning one-of-a-kind piece. He immediately started measuring and explaining the process as it would need to happen, which was fascinating! They gave me a quote, and it was very reasonable considering all of the work that needed to be done (remove giant prong, add smallish diamond to giant prong spot, resize all 3 rings, solder rings together, tighten loose stones, add small prongs to sides of new yellow ring, re-dip all pieces, etc - OH, and hammer the crap out of my bands as they were straight and needed to be curved). They advised there was a 2 week lead time. I left all my diamonds and was frightened, lol. This was the 13th. I got a call on the 19th - less than a week later that my BFR (Big Freaking Ring) was ready!!! I went straight there and OMG, she is GORGEOUS!!! Dan took his time making this ring PERFECT. It is everything I have always wanted and it's custom - no one else has this ring. Dan let me know it may need resized, and if so to come on in and they'd take care of it quickly. Talk about customer service! I will bring this to the big box store where my husband purchased the cathedral ring from so they can give it a once over and it stays covered under their protection plan, but honestly - if anything goes wrong with this, I'm bringing it back to Krysty Designs. I have had SO many experiences with the chain stores messing up my jewelry (breaking pieces, stones falling out and breaking, getting lost, etc) and I know that will not be the case here as they care about what they do and take excellent care of their jewelry and customers! I will be a lifelong customer moving forward. Thank you Dan and Hailey.

I was in the market to buy an engagement ring and had checked with Jareds and few other big name stores but decided to support a local business and found a couple places here in Powell. I was looking to spend 5k-6k. After telling Brad that I had recently checked with another store down the street he had sat there and bashed the other local store for a good 30 mins claiming they were nothing more than a pawn shop blah blah..even thought I showed Brad what my fiance liked from another store he basically mocked we had looked at and said we HAD to buy from him. (Everyone else's stuff was junk) or so he said. Then as we kept talking I was told I need to bring my fiance in and talk about a custom ring. He showed me no rings...no diamonds... And again kept slamming the diamond store down the street. Needless to say I never went back and he obviously didn't want my buisness.

Lucky for me the place a few doors down took awesome care of me, they even gave me a bottle of champagne to celebrate our engagement!!! I bought even better ring and other jewelry (including TONS of gold and diamonds) at a much better price!

Long story short, I will NEVER be going back into Brad's store again, very unprofessional to slam another small business even more so when they are right next door. Glad I could spend my...

My original plan was to go to another jeweler that I was familiar with for a ring resizing, but since we were around the corner for lunch, we walked into Krysty Designs to see if they service jewelry—they do, and Janis was so welcoming and helpful that it was a no-brainer to give them our business.

While Janis was finishing the service order she welcomed us to look around and walked us over to where we could find pieces with my birthstone. I found a ring—or should I say this ring found ME—it was the most perfect piece of jewelry with my birthstone that I’ve ever seen (they also carry loose stones so I could have even created my own). Janis mentioned that they take trade-in jewelry and I had a piece I've been wanting to part with for some time, so the wheels were already turning! Short story, I went back the next day, traded the jewelry, and got a wonderful discount on what is now MY birthstone ring (and once my other ring is resized, I'll have two perfect rings)!

Definitely stop by Krysty Designs and find your perfect piece (or get something serviced)—Janis will work with you to...
