I called 2 months ago and spoke to Andy who didn't think they wanted to make this ring in a 2 1/2 K stone and I was prepared to pay $30,000. Andy said he would call the next day and he didn't. I heard from a week later and it was a no go, that's right "no to you" I went to another Jeweler and he made my ring, had it mapped so it's exact. It's beautiful I love it and my husband is very happy.

I've bought many unique trinkets over the years, and I always find something special to bring home. Many items are very high-quality, therefore very expensive.

Stepping into Willa's studio/store on a cold, rainy afternoon was nothing short of magical…read more Her pieces are fierce, meaningful, and handmade. Willa is a force of life herself and happy to share the inspiration of each piece. The curation is among the most creative I have ever seen, with earrings, rings, and necklaces displaced on green apples with scattered cranberries supported by antique industrial wood beams. Illuminated by Christmas Tree light. Sigh - my words just don't do it justice. Part of the magic is the open space of the studio - as you're shopping you can look straight through to the workshop to see and experience the tools, materials, and process that transform the raw materials into the beautiful earth-inspired work that you can admire in the front. Beautiful pieces. Easy street parking. Fabulous neighborhood with plenty of other gems to explore by way of ocean views at Munjoy Hill Park, etc.

When my fiance was looking for someone to set his family heirloom diamond in an engagement ring for…read moreme, he asked around his family for a trustworthy jeweler and was pointed to Daunis. She has done custom jewelry for his family before and has thus become something of a family friend over the years. We met up with Patty at a craft fair in Northampton after reaching out to her, and she agreed to custom-make me an engagement ring. My own jewelry style is traditional, whereas Patty's is more avant-garde, so I was worried she would be insulted by my request, but she was so gracious and open to my ideas. She wrote down exactly what I requested, and boy did she deliver! My six-prong solitaire in a platinum band is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I can't stop looking at it. Patty charged a very reasonable price for her work, and was responsive throughout the process. It took a little longer than I expected for the ring to be completed (6 weeks), but this is a small handmade mom-and-pop operation, so I understood. Besides custom orders, her usual work is so unique and is the true definition of artisan. Thank you, Patty!
