During our first meeting, she went over the services they provided, the timelines and the available options. Following our meeting, she sent a detailed email describing what we talked about, providing the price points for each option discussed, and the plan moving forward. The service was amazing which made our choice for us. Throughout the process, Magnolia was extremely helpful. We decided to go with a sapphire and she answered all my questions and concerns when I was worried about my initial choice. The final result came out amazing. My ring is so beautiful and was better than i even expected! I am so in love with my ring. I definitely recommend Shelter if you are looking for a custom engagement ring or jewelry. The whole process took about 13 weeks from start to finish and they were very reasonably price. They also provide a 1 year defect and workmanship warranty, as well as one complimentary resize. Thank you Magnolia and Shelter for my wonderful engagement ring!
