I first came across The Engagement Ring Studio for a reason other than looking for an actual engagement ring, but I sat down with Corrine and after talking with her, I knew when that big day would come for me, THIS is where my ring would be created.
Tips first:
This studio is BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
GPS will take you on a crazy ride, no where near the studio... so when you call for the appointment, ask for specific directions.
It's in an office building, on the 2nd floor, so no store front or signage outside.
Ladies: your man will probably go on this appointment by themselves, but do not worry, they are in good hands.
Men: Corrine will set your budget, and hold your hand through the entire process, so you will know what cut and clarity are and mean.... and she also has beer in the studio to calm your fears and often hosts workshops, where you can indulge on wings! (Check out her website and FB page for her events and seminars!)
With all that said, Corrine is an absolute dream and caters the buying experience for your man buying you the rock. She is budget conscious, can design a gorgeous ring, and will educate your SO on all the ins and outs of buying and designing the perfect ring for you.
I knew I was a little picky in getting the ring I would wear for the rest of my life, so had a picture of what I wanted for Adam to take on his appointment. If it's a surprise.... no big deal. Corrine flew to Spain and selected a few stones for Adam to pick from, offering a few options. Then, they designed the band around the stone he picked.... and the result was a mind blowing, perfect engagement ring that I still look down at complete awe and wonder. I think he went on 3 or 4 appointments for the entire process... and he will tell you, it was all worth it. :)
The time Corrine took with Adam was above and beyond... and when we finally get around to buying wedding bands.... there is NO other studio will we even visit. Corrine has earned our business for life. That's how incredible this place is.
HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. read more
