Sartor Hamann (and Sydnee, specifically) in the downtown Lincoln location helped me design two different rings and a matching necklace with a somewhat hard to find set of stones. and they're amazing! My family has been a Sartor Hamann customer for decades, and now I'm passing Sartor Hamann jewelry onto my own children.
