I bought a custom engagement ring from Michael and he guided me through everything seamlessly. He provided helpful information regarding what metal for the band, the cut, clarity, color and even carat size of the diamond. The difference between Michael and other jewelry stores is he cares about each customers unique reasoning for coming into the store. You can feel that each time you speak with him. I returned a second time to have an earring made into a ring that had sentimental value. After he showed us our options and we received the ring, we were blown away!

I reached out to a good friend of mine to ask him who he used as a jeweler for his wife's ring…read more I've seen her ring before and it was magnificent. He raved about Michael and I took the 40 or so minute drive from Newington to begin the process. Michael was absolutely amazing during the entire shopping and purchasing of the ring. His patience showed and he wanted to make sure the diamond I chose was exactly what I wanted and within my budget. Once I moved on to the setting I chose a spectacular Simon G setting. I told him that rose gold was a must, but not just any rose gold. The color could not be too orange or yellow. We discussed this with the manufacturer and he assured me the risk of getting it the exact color without dipping it was worth it. Michael delivered BIG TIME. The ring is absolutely beautiful and my gf, now fiancé, is absolutely in love with it. It's the dream ring she didn't know she wanted. Thank you to Michael and his entire staff. From a avid reviewer - please choose Michael for your next engagement ring and/or fine jewelry. You will get quality jewelry with customer service to match!
