Mattis was extremely patient with me as I explained a setting I wanted for a large pair of diamond earrings. He showed me amazing examples and photos of his work and worked me to to create a custom CAD mounting. Unfortunately the CAD sent was nothing like the image sent to him that he agreed he can make almost exactly the same. He got upset with follow up questions like to let me know the height of setting and request for revisions to make it like my instructions that were very clear by email.

I truly believe it is better than the day George presented it to me! I am so grateful for his honesty and skilled craftsmanship ! Thank you so...
