This is the most wonderful shop! When my wife and I were engaged, just before we married, we visited this shop and picked out two of the most unique rings made of gold and quartz. Unfortunately, we didn't have the funds to purchase these back then. Not too long ago my wife was visiting the area again and as a surprise she purchased these same rings for our 10 year Anniversary. What a grand surprise! Their customer service is stellar as well. You will LOVE this shop!
