    Exactly what I asked for!
    Chelsea M.

    I was lucky enough to, first, get engaged to the man of my dreams, but second, to get to design my own engagement ring with Dan Sanford. Dan suggested to my fiance to pick out the diamond and then design the ring together which was definitely the perfect suggestion as he wanted it to be a surprise to me when he popped the question but that I would still be able to have the ring that I wanted (which I didn't know how I wanted at the time). After receiving the ring my fiance raved on about Dan and how he was "different" than the other jewelers he went to (and he did shop around) so I was very interested to meet Dan. Our first visit there I knew exactly what he had been talking about. The storefront is small and unassuming but as soon as we were inside, talking to Dan, I felt comfortable that I would end up with not only a beautiful ring but exactly the ring I wanted. We met with Dan twice to go over the details of my ring and each time were very pleasant experiences; like I was talking to a friend of mine. I showed him inspiration pictures and let him run with it. My design was not simple. I wanted an antique, vintage, intricate band to secure the beautiful marquise-cut diamond. Each time we met with him we gave a nod of approval to the work that Dan and his staff were doing. Finally, when I was shown my finished ring I was stunned at how beautiful it was and the craftsmanship really shows. It is not just a band with a diamond set in it. This one took work but it made me feel even better that I could tell Dan was pleased with the ring and that he even said he had fun working on it. I would recommend Sanford Designs to anyone that is looking for an engagement ring, wedding band, or any other special jewelry. He is honest, skilled, and joyful to work with. We are already looking forward to going back to him for our wedding bands!!

    My new. re-worked "Under The Sea" wedding ring by Sanford Design. We just love it!

    You must go here if you need a true artist at a fair rate. We inherited a beautiful pearl ring and a pair of 1/4 carat diamond earrings from our mother. Sanford reworked them into a perfect ring, that made the pearl look as if it was set in coral. Our wedding march was "Beyond the Sea" so this was just perfect for us. The price was very reasonable and the work was done in timely fashion with total dedication to a quality setting that is just beautiful. I highly recommend Sanford designs to anyone.

    Love their work. And reasonable price. I was looking for a place that can create a bracelet using my grandma's diamonds, and he did amazing job. Just look at the photo :)

    My wedding ring :) this was originally a necklace and loose diamond that Sanford designs made into a ring.

    All around great service. Had my ring resized in a timely fashion for a good price, and it came back to me polished and gleaming.

    We went to Jared to choose my future daughter in-law's engagement ring (she wanted to choose one…read moreherself) yesterday. She had a very clear criteria: - platinum - lab-created diamonds - a leaf-like motif The Hungarian lady there sat us all down for 55 minutes, telling us that white gold is the way to go, showed us diamond or two, kept telling us that platinum is hard to get and it'll take 6 weeks or longer to get a custom ring. After 45 minutes and 3 or 4 inquiries of the prices of what they're recommending, she kept giving us all sorts of reasons why she couldn't give us a price because "it's not so simple". Then I asked whether the diamonds she's been showing us are lab-created, the lady said "oh, I didn't know you didn't want a real diamond!" in a very condescending way. Then she asked for my son's contact information including his address and phone number. I intervened and told her that's unnecessary since we're not getting any information from them. She then asked for my son's address and phone number, which I immediately shut down since they weren't giving us any information. When we said we wanted to visit a few other jewelers before making a decision, she suddenly produced a nearly identical platinum setting and claimed she could get it made in under six weeks after all. She also insisted that "they don't make lab‑created diamonds that small - they're SO CHEAP it's not worth it," which is simply untrue. On top of that, they kept pushing us to open a store account and take out an 18‑month payment plan to get a $500 discount. Why would anyone take out a loan instead of paying in full just to get a discount? It felt shady. To make everything even more uncomfortable, the store was boiling hot. We were sweating, there were zero other customers on a Saturday afternoon, and the employees were just chatting among themselves. The whole place felt like a time capsule from a 1980s used‑car lot -- high pressure, low transparency, and a complete waste of time. We left and went to Shane Co. around the corner. What a difference. The associate there was fantastic. She took us to a dedicated platinum section with dozens of options, showed us a wide selection of lab‑created diamonds in every shape and size, and - wait this - everything had a price tag. No games, no pressure, no mystery pricing. Sigh, I wish we went to Shane Co. first! Needless to say, my son bought a ring his fiancée picked out, paid for it, and walked out happy and content. Looking back, I wish we had gone to Shane Co. first. The contrast was night and day. Jared felt like a sales trap; Shane Co. felt like actual customer service.

    I've been in the jewelry business for years (sales, diamond, design), and after leaving the…read moreindustry, needed to find a place for new purchases and repair. Jared's at Southcenter is the BEST. They do their own custom work In House, along with working on my previous pieces. I've also shopped their online site, buying pieces then customizing them with my existing loose stones. They have never let me down. Great prices & service. They're the only ones I can recommend without reservations.
