5 /5 Karen W Dean: Yelp review of ruby ring
When I told a good friend about my goal of creating a ring, she referred me to her jewelry, Michael Grant, the owner of Steve Schmier’s Jewelry. He and his staff (Mary and Susan) create a friendly, comfortable, and fun atmosphere with excellent customer service.
I brought in two rings, of which I wanted specific stones to make a one-of-a-kind custom ring. I explained my vision to Michael, who gave me many creative and insightful ideas for showcasing the stones and creating my unique ring. He wanted to ensure I received exactly what I wanted.
Because I struggled to “see” the possible designs, Michael drew options, allowing me to narrow down the choices. Once we agreed on a design, Michael presented me with a wax-mold ring and had me return to his store to understand better how everything would look. At that appointment, he gave additional suggestions to improve the overall look and fit of the ring, which helped me “see” the design.
When I went to pick up my ring, it was a bit too large, even though we had custom-sized it. That was not a problem for Michael. He resized it to make the ring sit perfectly on my hand. The final result was more than I could have asked for; it’s a work of art. The ring is absolutely stunning!
Michael is creative, knowledgeable, and a perfectionist. He clearly takes pride in his workmanship. From now on, he will be the only jeweler I go to. If you want quality, I highly recommend Steve Schmier’s Jewelry.
