I cannot say enough about Ginis Goldsmiths of Midland, MI. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
We stopped in for an estimate/to get ideas, at the recommendation of my father who has had jewelry made here, and didn't even bother to go anywhere else. My engagement ring is a pear-shaped diamond with a tapered band and I couldn't find a wedding band that fit nicely against it. Ginis Goldsmiths had some ideas that I liked and so my fiance and I returned to meet with him and design/order our rings.
For my wedding band: Dave, the owner, created a beautiful design, provided an estimate and gave some advice and answered many questions about why he was choosing this number of stones or that type of milgrain. Dave is very clearly an expert in his field and he was wonderful to work with.
For my fiance's wedding band: my fiance had a very specific idea of what he wanted and Dave helped him to design it and pick something that would look nice on his hand and feel comfortable (my fiance is an outdoorsman and has never worn a ring before). He also helped us pick something that was durable and safe (ie: could be cut off in the ER if needed).
Dave's wife, Adra, kept us updated via email and phone about the status of our rings. She was flexible with pick-up. Best of all, the rings came in slightly under budget.
Working with Ginis was a pleasure and we will...

They did awesome. I crunched it again shortly down the road in a car door and its band actually broke. They repaired it again, couldn't even tell i ever broke it. This year, 2019, i bent my engagement ring. I stopped in real quick to ask if they could again save me. They fixed it on the spot....
   Read moreI recently took several jewelry pieces to Ginis that we had inherited from my late mother in law. They were old fashioned and I asked Dave to change the 2 sets of earrings and one ring into 5 pendants for my 3 daughters and 2 grand daughters. The ring needed some customizing to make it look more modern and all 5 pendants turned out beautifully and they look like new and now they will be a nice keepsake for my girls to remember their grandma and...
