Kristina Pitaniello is the best! She made my wife's engagement ring and my wedding band. Her custom work is unique and excellent. She listened and paid attention to EVERY detail, idea, and priority that we shared with her and incorporated them into rings that are exactly what we wanted. I went to her because I was tired of being treated like crap at most of the traditional jewelers. I found out afterwards that she's been featured on HGTV and has done work with celebrities. If that's important to you...great. I recommend her for the following reasons: She demonstrated great empathy and excellent customer service. I never felt that she had more important jobs or clients, even though I'm by no means a high-roller. I'm sure she had more expensive pieces on which to work. Bottom line is that she made me a life-long customer and I whole-heartedly recommend her. She has funky ideas that go beyond the "traditional" styles of jewelry. However, she was willing to work towards whatever our visions were for the rings. read more
