My first purchase from Almut was a tourmaline ring. I wear my tourmaline ring I bought from Almut a little over 10 years ago every single day. My wedding ring is also by Almut. She also redesigned the jewelry I inherited from my mother. The diamonds from my mothers wedding ring were made into a new ring to fit my right hand ring finger.

When I arrived I found the shop to be well lit, clean, and full of beautifullly handcrafted jewelry. The lady I spoke with on the phone (all 3 proprietors there had on masks ☺), was very pleasant and examined the bracelets thoroughly. I noticed an awesome gold and silver ring she said has to be custom made per order so the pieces fit together correctly. I was impressed and very thankful. And they'll be the first place I goto for my next...
