This is as good a wedding announcement as any I will make, guys! Some of you have known Trung and I since we met. We're sealing the deal and getting married sometime in the next couple of months.
We were actually introduced VIA a Yelp party his sister brought him to (back when we did stuff like meet in person at DYL's) about 6 years ago. If you don't know what a DYL is, don't worry about it, that liquor soaked chapter of our lives is over. Heh, right.
Anyway- Fisher's. The first time I came into this small Solano storefront was a few years ago in December. I parked in front of the shop to get a haircut at Supercuts across the street. After my cut (which was okay!) I noticed a festive holiday party was underway and checked out Fisher's Custom jewelry, had some champagne, and chatted up friends and family of the jewelers featured there, as well as some of the jewelers themselves. I had a great time but didn't buy anything.
After shopping around a little bit once we decided to get engaged, we really hadn't found what we were looking for. Yeah, I'm kind of a control freak/opinionated about jewelery and this wasn't something Trung was going to purchase on his own or surprise me with, so we ended up going the custom route here.
Once the process started it was so comfortable we knew we'd come to the right place. Not only convenient for us because it's here in the East Bay, but also not pushy, or sleazy, or loud and overwhelming, but just easy going and down to earth. It was incredibly fun and a little nerve wracking to choose everything myself, but we used a estate piece that's pictured in one of the business photos here on Yelp as a model and inspiration- it's a little larger than mine, and of course vintage, so mine has that vibe but it's brand new and in yellow gold.
I think the most fun part was selecting a loose diamond. Christa ordered a few in our price range, that would work in the setting, and I got to check them all out. The choice was clear- and size DOES matter in this department, as much as I thought otherwise when the process started. Wink.
Now that I've had my engagement ring the better part of a year, I still love it, and our wedding bands are almost done. As fate would have it, one of the gentleman I met that night in December happened to be the jeweler Trung chose to custom make his band!
I highly recommend Fishers. I feel they offer a good value for their services and pieces, and really make you feel like part of the family once you start working with them. We've been able to pay in installments, pay by phone, receive lots of personalized attention, and just have a good time when we come in.
I can't wait to see our bands!!
Cheers and big Hugs to the Yelp Community. read more
