The owner is very accommodating. My watch wouldn't latch the back lid. He fixed my wrist watch within a minute I would come back to this jewelry store when i have some bad jewelry issue.

They were pretty friendly when we were shopping for engagement rings and their turn over rate was fairly fast (holiday weekend- 1 1/2 to 2 weeks). When we received the ring in the mail, it was the wrong size. even though he measured my ring size himself in the store. I understand that stuff happens but honestly, the most frustrating part of the situation was the fact that when my fiance called to let him know what had happened, he was unapologetic and didn't seem to care at all. He said that he would size it free of charge but that it would be a few days and we would have to pay the shipping fee.

David reset our engagement ring, which was designed by a woman in LA, after the center stone fell out during a home improvement project. His re-imagining of the original ring was FAR superior to the original. Absolutely amazing and beautiful. We of course chose him for our wedding bands as well, and we couldn't love them more. David is a craftsman, and his creativity and designs range far and above anything else you'll see in Fayetteville.

Wow! David Adams did a great job on a custom ring.he used diamonds from old settings and created my new ring that is absolutely gorgeous. We made an appointment, discussed what we thought we wanted, he communicated (email and phone) through the process, stayed within our budget and created a beautiful ring that looks "right" on my hand and the compliments have been endless. I am thrilled with the results! Thanks again David!
