I found this place on Google. I walked into the lobby and asked how to get to the business. The receptionist called upstairs and two gentlemen came down to meet me. This was my first time buying a ring, and Alex and his brother made it a pleasure. We spoke about Toronto as the ring was being polished. I felt comfortable the whole time. I recommend this business to anyone looking to buy jewelry.Posted on Sabina PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Alex and Arbi was nothing short of amazing. While my engagement was a surprise, I wanted to be involved with the ring designing process as I’m super picky. 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!!!Posted on Gia BlondeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I worked with Arbi and Alex to make a special custom gift. I’m so happy with the result. They really saw my vision and made it real. Working with them was super easy and they really went the extra mile to help me get it on time.Posted on Ethan CabralTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Known Alex for years, I’ve always wanted to work with him on a piece. When it came time to get an engagement ring made he was attentive to where our tastes lay- something more minimal and discrete for everyday wear. After a discussion with reference images he quickly rendered a pre vis images of the ring. A few weeks later the ring was ready, all in time for an upcoming trip abroad. Highly recommend him and his brother Arbi for all your jewellery!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
