Very simple, go to Mary Ann for whatever you need and you will be amazed. She helped my wife and I design our wedding set from sketch, to wax, to the One of a kind finished product. Along the way she educated us about diamonds, different settings , proper sizing, esthetics, and answered every question we could come up with. 6 years later and all of the rings are solid. No loose or missing stones, still as brilliant as the day we picked them up. Of course the Platinum has dulled from daily wear, but the way those Russian cut diamonds sparkle , and the outstanding color , cut , and clarity of the

Mary Ann is a joy to work with, a problem solver, and best of an all - an artist. She helped me create a gorgeous, custom engagement ring for my fiancé. I told her my budget, what I wanted, and she gave me solutions and ways to work with it as well as multiple options and ideas throughout the process. She is such a happy and positive person, you can tell she loves what she does. I could not recommend Mary Ann more highly!

Mary Ann is absolutely the best in the business!!! The nature inspired engagement ring that she made is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. I went into this process with little to no knowledge of diamonds/rings and she walked me through each step until we had designed an engagement ring that my fiancee truly loves. I doubt I would have trusted anyone else the way I trust her. She was patient, thorough and made it a point to understand who my fiancee is as a person so she could make a ring that embodies her qualities and characteristics. If I'm ever looking to purchase jewelry for my loved

My Fiance was recommended to Mary Ann for my engagement ring, and I am forever grateful this is the person he trusted to create the most piece important piece of jewelry I'll ever wear in my life! I gave him a quite specific style, Solitaire Emerald Diamond, Rose gold, Rope band, and she absolutely delivered my dream ring! I was so excited to go and meet her myself when it was time to pick out our wedding bands. She lived up to all the hype! She is so knowledgeable in her line of work. Her honesty kept me on track to achieving my vision of the perfect ring set. I never once felt like she was trying

I have made multiple purchases from Mary Ann. No games, honest transactions and prices that are better than any place I've been world wide. She also is a maker and the gems she has set have been top quality at a great price. If you're considering making an investment purchase Mary Ann is the person to contact. Top quality, great prices, extremely knowledgeable.

My fiancé worked with Mary Ann to design my engagement ring. He was so impressed with her knowledge, honesty and thoroughness throughout the entire process. He felt so comfortable as she kept updating him with photos and phone calls and he couldn’t say enough good things about working with her. The ring they designed together is absolutely beautiful and more than I could ever have asked for. He had such a great experience that he had her custom make my wedding bands. We just received them and they are the beyond amazing. She does fantastic work and I know my fiancé would agree that this is

Mary Ann was a absolute pleasure to work with. She is knowledgeable, honest and is great with recommendations for the guys out there that might need a little guidance. I purchased my finances engagement ring with Mary Ann and her customer service skills are top notch. I live out of state right now and after finalizing the creation of my custom ring Mary Ann checked in throughout the process with pictures and phone calls. She really went out of her way to ensure I was happy with the ring and I really appreciated the way she treated me during the entire process. I did a lot of shopping before I met
