I would like to tell anyone who will listen that Judy Arnell from Arnell Jewelers is beyond terrific. I have benefited from her considerable skills for more than 25 years; from the creation of the engagement ring for my beautiful wife until our most recent absolutely stunning 25th anniversary ring, as well as other items in between.

I have been, as has my wife, overjoyed with the craftsmanship, ridiculous quality and service. This applies equally now since she has moved to Portland, Oregon (I live near Chicago). Distance has made no difference. I will purchase jewelry nowhere else. I advise you to do the same. Kurt Wiese...

Walking into this i was so unsure and worried, but the result is incredible. The artistry on the ring is really incredible and she met me at a price that I can live with.
I really cannot recommend her more. For any piece and occasion, Judith...
