When it comes to Diamonds, I only go to Todd. The other shops are pretty much just diamond retailers that just try to sell you a finance package with a hodgepodge of quality. Todd controls the process from start to finish and delivers individualized attention through every step, including options around budget, design, insuring and appraisal. When my wifeâs first ring disappeared, it was horrible and soul crushing because it was an original work done by Toddâs team. I didnât even care that it was insured the loss stung more than anything.
Todd was there the whole way to help me understand my insurance, and what the options were to design a new ring. He could have certainly rebuilt it as before, but he presented my wife with options to make it even better than before, both on budget and on time. He even secured a harder to find antique cut diamond which my wife adores more than the brilliant cut. His team designed the ring to really accentuate the nature of this cut and how it stands out in various lighting. His process is seamless, professional, and family-like. I love how he treats my wife, with full attention to what she asks and engages her in the process and options. She thought the process was the coolest thing as she met with him and the designer.
In each ring we started with an idea on the back of a napkin, then pictures of rings my wife liked and his team quickly came up with the CAD designs and recommendations to make it even better. We tinkered with diamond cuts and sizes in addition to other gem stones. (Heâs not just Diamonds by the way) The work they did with diamonds AND emeralds is just simply amazing; Custom ring and custom cuts on the emeralds we used as accents. His team does it all. Itâs not as expensive as youâd think to have the designer and the work is heirloom quality. This latest ring is generational.
I see no need to go anywhere else. He makes you feel safe in this expensive decision and that means the world. Do yourself a favor if youâre in the market especially for a custom designed or heirloom quality piece. Call Todd!
Side note: I havenât bought a Rolex from Todd yet, but itâs on my list. Yup- he's...
   Read moreMy diamond from my engagement ring fell out and I did not want to send it to our jeweler in Illinois due to distance. I did a lot of google searching and Todd was the first and only person I reached out too! When we spoke on the phone I automatically felt like I could trust him with such an important piece of jewelry. When I dropped off my ring to get repaired I also told him I wanted a good cleaning and he recommended Rhodium plating which I had never heard of (not a big jewelry gal) I got my ring back only TWO days later and it looks SOOOOO good! Like a brand new ring. I told Todd that he would be my new Go to if anything happens with our jewelry!!...
