My goodness!
(TLDR: Too Long, Didn't Read at the bottom.)
My fiancé B and I knew we wanted to create a unique set of rings for our ceremony and life because we are very confident in our personal styles, interests, and of course, each other. I am the type of person that wears multiple rings of various colors and stones, so I took my time researching for an engagement ring that was elegantly unique but would unmistakably be seen as an engagement ring among my other jewelry.
Fate brought me to Golden String one late night of Instagram scrolling because I came across a ring they posted that had many characteristics I had chosen for my dream ring! After months and months of looking at different settings, diamond shapes, etc, I couldn't believe that I had come across a ring with so many specific aspects I had envisioned for my own! I instantly messaged their page, asking for more details & a range of prices.
Based on that post, I could see that their team was capable of giving me the aesthetic I wanted, but that's not the only thing that was important to us. B and I also wanted to remain financially responsible, and feel good about who we were supporting because our pieces will carry the love and energy everyone put into them along the way! After showing B that I had found an extremely promising family owned business, I submitted a no-nonsense email at the Golden String website, telling them I was open to their expertise, but I felt confident in the vision I described to them. I don't think I waited 3 days before Natalie introduced herself via email and offered us the opportunity to chat in detail about the diamonds they had in stock, the different customizations I had referenced, and their financing options in case it was needed. On the call, Natalie remained professional and engaging while we got to know each other a bit- I absolutely loved how I felt heard and talked to like a friend, while still learning a lot! I think I was nervous about being "sold to" like I had felt at the counters at other jewelers, but that fear quickly dissolved with Natalie's warmth. At the time of the call, B and I were only looking to create our engagement ring for me, but B could feel the confidence and excitement in me growing the more we chatted, that he started asking some questions about his own ring! To see him so energized and involved in adding his flair to our wedding bands was such a gift.
After our call, B and I got to brainstorming what look he wanted his wedding band to have and we ended up ordering a matching engraved set because the man's got great taste. (;
B and I messaged Natalie for a few weeks, going back and forth with our designs to ensure perfection, and whew, did the team at Golden String deliver!!!!! And to top it off, not only were our rings perfectly crafted to our specifications, Natalie and B worked together to completely surprise me for the actual proposal! I love B with all my heart, and Natalie + the whole team at Golden String has added so much joy to my life already. Every time I look at my engagement ring I just can't help but smile real big; I'm excited to pair it with the engraved wedding band after our ceremony takes place.
What a magical start to happily ever after.
***TLDR: I researched different jewelers and ring styles for 4+ months before coming across Golden String on Instagram and as soon as I saw their page, I knew they could bring my vision to life. I have had my engagement ring for 2 weeks now & I still cannot stop staring at it! I'm grateful that we chose to get our wedding bands from them too, as they are incredibly detailed and perfect.
Natalie is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and charismatic.
I'm excited to remain a lifelong customer for upgrades and additions. read more
