I was very upset when I received Linda's name from Gemstone Creations. I had just learned that my insurance company was not going to pay out the full amount on a custom ring. They were actually paying 2K less. I had no idea what I was going to do. Linda worked with me the entire time. She took the picture of my original ring and was completely transparent about my options. She picked out three different ruby's for me to choose from and met me at the store in Fredericksburg to pick. She was patient with me while I went through each stone. Once I chose the stone, we began to talk about the setting. Although I wanted my ring to be replicated, Linda asked me to take a look at another custom setting she had that she thought might work. It was stunning. Much nicer than my ring that had been stolen. We went over insurance and how much I would need to pay out of pocket which was minimal. Less than three weeks later, I met her to pick up my ring. I couldn't be happier. And she also provided me with a brand new appraisal- that had it appraised at almost my last right-- so I clearly got a better deal. Linda was professional, thoughtful, and she listened. And the outcome was great!! I have been looking for a jeweler in the area that I could trust for the last 10 years. I am thrilled to have finally found that. Thank you to Gemstone Creations and Linda!! I am in love with my ring and the service...
Read moreI had a fantastic experience at Gemstone Creations. After doing hours of research on different jewelry shops in Fredericksburg, I decided to purchase my fiance's engagement ring from Linda at Gemstone Creations. I first came to their shop to preview engagement rings and ask if they would be willing to set a stone I had purchased from an online vendor. They were extremely helpful, gave me all the information I needed on the components of a ring, and made me feel cared for as a customer. Perhaps the best thing about my visit that day was that I never felt like I was being sold anything. I left the shop knowing I would be back to make the official purchase. About a week later, I went back to Gemstone Creations with my stone and purchased the engagement ring. Just two weeks after that, they were finished with it and it looked beautiful! Since giving it to my fiance, she loves the ring and we have gotten many comments on how beautiful it is. Thank you Linda and the team at Gemstone Creations for not only creating a beautiful ring, but helping me in a way that made me feel like I was very cared for and valued as a customer. My fiance and I will definitely be back soon to purchase our...
Read moreWe custom designed my engagement band, wedding ring, and my husband's wedding ring with Linda at Gemstone Creations. In my research for engagement rings, I became interested in an antique elongated cushion cut solitaire stone. I only saw one online jeweler with the ring, and it was way beyond our budget! We went to Linda, she found the stone and helped pick out the best mounting for it. The process was so easy! And she was happy to work within our budget, she didn't try to upsell. She also was so lovely when I picked out my wedding band, she ordered in a bunch of rings for me to try on, because I had to see the rings paired together. Then she helped customize the ring to be exactly what I wanted. She did even better with my husband's ring. He really wanted meteorite in the ring, but the online rings were too wide or too expensive. She was able to custom embed meteorite into the ring! Our experience with Linda was the easiest part of our wedding planning process! She sized my grandmother's ring and resized the groomsman's gifted watches. I can't...
