I just so happened to meet Alex from Solitaire, and I’m so happy I did! I got the most amazing custom pendant made, and super quickly. I absolutely love it.

Highly recommend 💎 The Surfrajettes2024-12-04 Working with Alex and Arbi was nothing short of amazing. When we first met with them, we knew we could trust their opinion and expertise as they guided us throughout the whole process. They designed my perfect ring that I still to this day can’t stop looking at. Thank you both for being a part of our special day!!! Sabina P2024-11-23 Solitaire and Alex Armen provided us with such a wonderful ring shopping experience! While we spoke to a few vendors, Arbi and Alex provided by far the best experience, and we knew from the first meeting that we would ultimately go with them. The process of designing and fine tuning the ring was very smooth, Alex and Arbi would almost always respond right away with their suggestions. The time from ordering to receiving the ring was extremely quick - it only took weeks! We couldn't be happier with the process and look forward to returning for our Wedding bands. Thank you again Arbi and Alex! Adam Dufresne2024-11-12 Alex and Arbi did amazing work - the custom ring they helped design was exactly what we were looking for. It was absolutely beautiful!

They crafted the most stunning engagement ring and wedding bands for me and my wife, and the entire process was seamless and personalized.

Jay N2024-09-23 Getting my engagement ring designed by Solitaire was like having a personal fairy godmother for jewelry! They waved their magic wand (or maybe it was just a magnifying glass) and voila! I now have a ring that's so stunning, even my reflection can't stop staring.
