I offered it entire selection of rings, and I chose the particular model that I put in the picture just because I like the way it looked and it's so comfortable. I don't even know that I have it on. It seriously enhances my already gorgeous thumb! Because I have fat knuckles, I don't have to worry about it sliding off and losing it. Now I look hip and cool and I'm not wearing any fake jewelry. Heather.Maerten is committed to carrying beautiful jewelry and taking care of what she considers her wonderful clients of which I am one from intricate handmade silver to diamond jewelry. Heather was delightful as is Carolyn who assisted me in the purchase. It's nice to work with people who really know their craft and your dreams into reality. I enjoy working with people that are passionate about what they do and are just so absolutely honest. I am going to make Marrtens My jeweler for life. I highly recommend them.

I'm extremely detail oriented and particular, and Ideal Cut is a hidden gem of quality + value. The shop itself is plain -- don't let that fool you. The handiwork is awesome and the prices are incredibly reasonable specifically because (1) genuine honesty, and (2) lack of insane real estate overhead and working capital that any other jeweler with a flashy showroom prices into the markups they pass onto customers. Mr. Tan spent hours with me while I showed him drawings and designs of the custom setting I wanted. He made multiple CAD adjustments as we sat side by side until I was 100% happy. Again, other jewelers have fine print and will charge you extra past the [second] modification or past the wax stage. I love my ring and felt I had an empathetic and creative partner in bringing it to life.

Disappointed yesterday. My concerns about my heirloom ring repair gone wrong were met with…read moregaslighting, arrogance, defensiveness and condescension from the owner and more than a tinge of hostility from the jeweler repair man. The implication that they did me big favor in repairing my heirloom ring when in fact they got the sizing completely wrong having measured and sized me at a 9 and 1/4 at drop off and the jewelry repair man ignored everything and gave me a size 10 ring at pick up!!. I was gracious despite the error and waited patiently (time is money ) while it was resized again not knowing the smoothe new shank being resized would leave me with CLEARLY visible bumps and bruises. Instead of helpful and remorseful the jewelry repair man was immediately argumentative and despite efforts to quell the tension I was continually met with claims by the owner she couldn't even see the OBVIOUS DIVOTS and lack of smootheness with her magnifying glass. (TOTAL GASLIGHT My clever college age daughter aptly summarized in the car on the way home.) Dripping with condescension the owner reminded me that it was a 100 year old ring (70 years actually and what does that have to do with clear visible marks on a BRAND NEW shank?) Why did your guy not size the ring correctly the first time? I said none of this by the way. I was polite and merely tried to show them the imperfections that resulted from the (SECOND) repair caused by their sizing error! The owner also reminded me she mixed in the old gold from the original ring with the new gold ( umm so? We discussed this in advance ??) and.she reminded that 14 karat gold had been added to the lesser quality 10k Gold of the original Ring .Uhhhh again Sooooo? Again, these are all the details we discussed for the contract to resize and repair the original ring. So how does this address my issue of holes and lack of smootheness in the ring after Brandt's employee got my ring size completely wrong, dand then the REPAIR TO THE REPAIR caused lasting damage? I didn't come in there angry. I came in there just to discuss the matter and show them the issues hoping they would say " oh we are SORRY and lets just smoothe them out for you. " I lost out on a brand new shiny shank (and some gold). So exactly how is this my fault? No we're so sorry let's take a look and see what we can do? Nope. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. !!! This is the part where I contact my credit card company to reverse the charge. BUT NO I wont. Just maybe me not reversing the charge will save the next customer the trouble and the condescending owner will make jewelry repairman read the directions and do his job. I wont.let them blame me for seeking a freebie instead. Nope I won't give them that to fall back on. The owner's arrogance and condenscion are not going to change. I know her type so I defintely can't make it about the money. It won't penetrate. I can afford it. I concluded the debacle like a school teacher to a child who did something naughty. I had to articulate it for her to get the owner to admit the imperfections (divots and rough edges) happened as a part of the 2nd resize. "It wont compromise the ring I said, will it?" No she said and off she departed to the back office. How embarrassing. I didn't leave tail between my legs. She did. It was pathetic. She didn't even know I played her to get her to admit. My Ivy league Masters degree in mental health helped me manage her bad behavior in the face of which my daughter witnessed me conduct myself with decorum, and respect despite not receiving the same in return. Look at the ring in the pic. What would you do? I am out 200 dollars . Also, I am out time (which is money) waiting for resize when it wasn't done correctly. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY CF.Brandt. ! Suffice it to say I won't be revisiting CF Brandt Jewelers again. I suggest you stay away as well.

After a couple of weeks Breitling contacted me with bad news. The watch was not repairable. The parts were no longer available and they said it was a total loss. They did offer me $2,000 in credit if I let them keep the watch. Something told me to get the watch back. Which I did. A family member told me about the watch mechanic. I figured that I had nothing to lose. Within a week I was wearing my vintage watch again and it keeps perfect time. I will never buy another Breitling again.
