After an extensive search of custom jewelers, I went to Jay Yontef in hopes of crafting my girlfriend's (now fiancee's) engagement ring. I was weary of the process but the moment I walked in, Jay and Adriane put me at ease as they walked me through the steps. Once I explained what style of ring I was looking for and got the diamonds/stones that'd be melted in, they explained my options, how it'd be made, etc. I was also nervous about the cost but it was exactly what I was looking to pay for. After I got the ring, I was floored by how great it turned out. Truly wonderful.
I'll walk away with three things from the Yontef's. First, and most important, the ring was absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend loved it the minute she saw it and months later I still catch her gazing at it. Second, they were not pushy or tried a sales pitch at all. I can't stress how important that was to me. They made me very comfortable with their approach, thus earning my trust. Finally, they were very, very easy to work with. My schedule fluctuated from time-to-time and they still were extremely prompt to return emails/texts to set up times to meet.
Working with Jay Yontef was an absolute pleasure and I couldn't imagine going to another place. If you are thinking about going the custom jewelry route, I couldn't recommend a better place to go. Five stars all the way. Thanks Jay and Adriane.
