in their words

We are so grateful for our amazing clients. Their kind words mean everything to us. And, oh, those smiles, they tell it all!... You can also check us (and our 5 stars) out on Yelp!

Danielle was an absolute pleasure to work with and I'm so glad she was there to help me with the process of shopping and choosing the perfect engagement ring. She was very knowledgeable, patient and thorough throughout the entire process. Her insight and feedback were incomparable and she answered all questions and alleviated any concerns that I had.  Danielle exceeded expectations by far and I highly recommend her. My fiance loves her ring and Danielle played a HUGE part in making the experience fun and memorable. We couldn't be happier.  Thanks Little Bird!

Jonathan, New York, NY

Little Bird was the best thing that happened to my engagement ring shopping experience! Danielle was super helpful and very knowledgeable on rings, jewelers, and settings. Her down to earth style allowed me to really have a great conversation and ultimately find the perfect ring.
 
With a little help from my dog Jack and Danielle my engagement was PERFECT!
 
If you are in the market for an engagement ring, working with Danielle will help find the one of a kind piece that you are picturing in your mind’s eye!
 
Thank you Little Bird!

Martin, Richmond, CA

I'd imagine the search for the perfect engagement ring can be quite the stressful experience - fortunately, with Danielle driving the process, the process for me was anything but! Before this, I knew absolutely nothing about diamonds, jewelers, etc., and the thought of walking into a jeweler and picking out such an expensive piece of hardware on my own gave me anxiety. After talking through diamond basics with me and getting a feel for what I had in mind (size, color, cut, and most importantly budget), Danielle did all the work in tracking down diamonds that met my criteria, and having them all organized in a Google Doc made the decision process simple. The end-product I had in mind required some customization, so she hooked me up with an awesome local jeweler (shoutout to Nick Engel & Co.!) that made my vision a reality, and then some!

Proposing has plenty of stress that goes along with it - setting, timing, coordination, etc. Do not let the ring be one of them! Can not recommend enough, don't waste another minute and give Little Bird a call. Thanks for everything Danielle!

Matt, San Francisco, CA

Since I'm not the typical girly girl by any stretch of the imagination, I had a hard time choosing an engagement ring I loved and began to panic. Everything new was too expensive and everything antique was not quite right. 

I found Danielle on Yelp and thought maybe it was worth it to go see her for a quick chat for advice. I ended up speaking to her on the phone several times and then emailing back and forth about my ideal design, explaining I had big dreams but a tight budget. She totally understood my aesthetic and easily matched me up with a brilliant designer who also quickly got the vibe of what I wanted. I custom designed the ring and it came out perfectly. I couldn't imagine going any other route. Definitely have recommended Little Bird to all friends even thinking about getting engaged. She made something that seemed laborious actually fun and super easy.

Lauren, San Francisco, CA

If you're in the market for purchasing a ring for a special someone and you have no idea what you're doing, I can't recommend Little Bird (and Danielle in particular!) enough. They do a free consultation to help you figure out what you're looking for, and you can hire them to help you with the whole process if you so choose. Which I did. She helped me devise a plan on what kind of ring spoke to both my fiancee's sensibilities as well as my own personal tastes, went out and found the right diamonds (ending up with a gorgeous antique), and contacted Altana Marie to create the ring by hand. I never imagined that I could have gotten a beautiful custom ring within my budget, but Little Bird showed me that it was possible. Not only that, but we recently got the ring appraised, and it came in at roughly 60% over the purchase price! Whether or not I could have found a ring by myself is irrelevant - what I ended up with was perfect, and that's totally thanks to Danielle.

​Jason, Dallas, TX

I am sooo glad I found you! Many thanks.

Alasdair, World Traveler

Danielle did a great job helping me throughout this process. It is easy to think that one can go online and pick a diamond, especially given that you can see the cut, color and clarity that is provided. However there is so much more than that and Danielle helped me find the perfect diamond at a phenomenal price!

 I cannot express enough the tremendous help and among of trouble Danielle saved me by using her service. At the end of the day, not only did I save money by enlisting the help of Little Bird, but also felt confident that I was giving my partner the best ring within my budget and criteria. 

I wouldn't buy a house without a realtor and you shouldn't buy an expensive diamond ring without an expert on your side.

Truman, San Francisco, CA

I had complete, but nerve-wracking, freedom in picking out a ring. My fiance and I never discussed engagement rings and I wanted to surprise her with something that was a true reflection of what I imagined for her. With Danielle guiding me every step of the way, I ended up with a beautiful, custom ring that my fiance can't stop staring at.

The Center Diamond - Danielle used her industry connections to source several potential diamonds that fit within my budget and carat requirement, while maximizing the quality (color, cut, clarity). She provided an organized spreadsheet that listed data points for each diamond. We talked through each diamond, their pros and cons, and ultimately settled on the perfect diamond at an unbeatable price.

The Band - Danielle brought me to a showroom and educated me on the different elements and options available on a band. I wasn't entirely happy with any one band so we started picking out the features that I liked from the different bands - the tapering from one, the low shoulders from another, the simple, streamlined basket of a third, and the pave from a last band. Danielle hand sketched my Frankenstein band, producing a drawing that was spot-on with what I had imagined - something modern, simple, and elegant. Danielle then turned project manager and oversaw the process of having the custom design produced by a jeweler.

This entire experience with Danielle was just great. If you're looking for a ring, there's no reason to do it on your own when you can leverage Danielle's extensive industry expertise.

Wendy & Nigel, San Francisco, CA

I was extremely happy with my decision to use Danielle and the services of LITTLE BIRD. Danielle was very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. She made this process very easy for me.

Keith, Cincinatti, OH
Winter 2016

I was so thrilled with the ring that my fiancé picked out for me through LITTLE BIRD! We spoke with Danielle together after our engagement and she was so sweet and offered great advice and tips on ring care. She found a perfect ring that is totally my style. I wanted something nontraditional and unique, she nailed it!  I couldn't be happier with my ring!!! 

Megan, Cincinatti, OH

It went great!! She loves the ring. Thanks again for all the help.

Kevin, San Francisco, CA

I had a wonderful experience working with Danielle from Little Bird. She clearly answered all of my questions and walked me through the daunting process of purchasing an engagement ring. Few men going through the process of buying an engagement ring can even fool themselves into being enough of an expert to make an informed decision about a diamond on their own. Luckily, Danielle really is an expert and helped me understand the process and the many different variable that go into the value of a diamond. She provided excellent customer service and most of all my fiancee loved the ring we chose! If it weren't for Danielle, I would probably still be wringing my hands about which ring to purchase. I strongly recommend relying on the soup to nuts services that Little Bird provides!

Mike, Washington, DC

From the first, free consultation to the last call to walk my fiancee through ring care, Danielle was the ultimate professional.  I can't thank her and Little Bird enough for all of the time spent with me.  They assisted me with ring styles, stone types, the four C's, and they really got a sense of my girlfriend and what she was looking for.  Her expertise and attention to detail were outstanding and due to her, I was able to ensure my fiancee got the ring of her dreams! 

Ryan, Cleveland, OH
My ring is so perfect! I couldn’t be happier with it.  And I really appreciate the time that Danielle took after our engagement to discuss ring care and wedding bands.  She was really helpful and gave us some great tips.

Nicole, Cleveland, OH


​Little Bird was extremely helpful in my engagement ring selection process. Within a handful of hours, I learned more about oval diamonds (and the diamond industry) than all our friends combined.

I ended up with a diamond that everyone loves, along with a setting that accents it beautifully and fits flush against a wedding band. Also, I was able to dodge several common missteps that would have led to a pretty negative post-purchase experience.

It is safe to say that there is little chance I would have been able to pull all this off on my own. Thank you, Little Bird.

While searching for local jewelers in San Francisco, I reached out to Little Bird thinking they were a jeweler of some sort. I quickly learned that Little Bird was not a Jeweler, but a consulting service for diamonds engagement rings.  After my first call with Danielle, I felt like I had learned more about engagement rings and shopping approaches than I had learned in months of research and shopping at local jewelry stores.  Before reaching out to Little Bird, I was completely overwhelmed by the engagement ring shopping experience. After switching to Little Bird, the engagement ring shopping experience became fun and painless. 

​
Key Highlights from my Experience:
- Getting help on finding a diamond and a setting that met all my requirements within my budget (Didn't think this was possible)
- Leveraging Little Bird's industry connections
- Spending 30-40% less than buying similar rings I had looked at in Jewelry stores
- Working with a local craftsman (one of LB's connections) to custom build the setting and getting the opportunity to help put the finishing touches on the ring.

I feel very blessed that I found Little Bird.  My fiancé was thrilled with the ring.  Her family and friends were blown away.  I can't thank you enough!  You helped bring my fiancé's dream ring come true!

Mason, San Francisco, CA


Well it took longer than I initially planned, but all's well that ends well. Rachel and I got engaged Saturday night at the gym where we first met and worked together before we started dating. Everyone has been super impressed with the ring selection. They would be happy no matter what I got for her, but it definitely helps that it's an actual great ring. Thank ya'll so much for all the help. I don't think it could have gone any better.

Robert, Nashville, TN

 Words just can't do justice to the fantastic service Little Bird provided. Picking an engagement ring was one of the most interesting challenges I have faced. I spent three months researching rings in the UK, Anterwerp and with the major US online websites. I came very close to buying a diamond on many occasions but trying to get an honest, non biased answer to my questions from the sales representatives wasn't possible. 
​
The "4 C's" is a great place to start when looking for a ring, but in order to find the most incredible diamond possible for my fiancé I knew I had to look beyond these categories. At this point despite my research I realized I needed to enlist the assistance of a diamond expert. I initially contacted several online diamond consultants but didn't find their advice useful. Then I came across Little Bird! Danielle's level of service went way beyond my expectations including hours of phone and email consultations and viewing the actual ring prior to shipping. The service truly is beyond outstanding.

Danielle helped refine my search beyond the 4 C's and find the diamond and setting which truly matched my fiancé. We had a very methodological approach using advanced search criteria to narrow the world's diamonds down to only a handful. We then individually looked at each option and the result is beyond any expectation I could have imagined. 

A word of advice: NO MAN should purchase a diamond without Little Bird's opinion first. 

Thank you so much.

I want to thank you both very much for all your hard work and collaboration in making sure I received the ring on time and also helping me design something special. Things went better than expected and Christine really loves her ring thanks in part to you. 

Dan, New York, NY

Perfect.  
Great job.
​Thanks!

Jon, San Francisco, CA

She said yes! I couldn't have done it without Little Bird. She absolutely loves the ring - it's perfect. Little Bird guided me though the process of designing a custom ring with hand engraving, super awesome plasma-forged diamonds, and Montana sapphires (shout out to Christine Guibara, Hratch, and Diamond Foundry). Jen didn't want traditionally mined diamonds and the idea of a traditional ring made her cringe a little. Little Bird helped me whittle down all my crazy ideas into something that was perfectly suited for Jen, absolutely beautiful and, equally important, practical for something that will be worn every day. Once we had the general design down, Little Bird helped research and sift through the possible jewelers who could create such a unique piece and spent time with me selecting the individual stones (including advice on which qualities are worth paying for and what's not). To top it off, we came out well below budget. These guys are rock stars - If you're in the market for anything other than the boring off-the-shelf options available at your local mall, give Little Bird a call (even if you are shopping for that boring ring, Little Bird can probably help!). With so many options and such high prices on engagement rings, I am glad there are services like Little Bird to help us non-experts out. A true pleasure that, if all goes as planned, I'll never have to work with again,
​
Mike

Whether you are looking to spend a lot, or a little, on a diamond or an engagement ring I'd definitely recommend spending some time with Little Bird! Their breadth of knowledge on the topics covered are impressive!  They'll cover things you weren't even thinking about! I liken the buying experience working with Little Bird to buying a car and having the General Manager of the dealership as a consultant on YOUR SIDE of the negotiation, whispering in your ear, telling you exactly what's going on!

Ron, New Hampshire
After proposing he told me that he did some research and found LittleBirdToldYou.com and got great advice. It was well worth it to have a jewelry consultant. We live in New Hampshire and my fiancé of course was nervous to buy from a jewelry store located in Chicago. If it wasn't for Danielle I would have not received the ring I finally found. She was great and even explained aftercare of the precious stone. Every where I go I've been getting compliments.

​Christina, New Hampshire

WOW!!! It is ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!! I can't stop looking at it!!! The stone you found is gorgeous!!! It goes beautifully with the ring. The aquamarine is the most beautiful stone I have ever seen. And it really was meant to be as it is also both my kids' birthstone. It makes it that much more special and meaningful.

The jeweler you introduced me to was also really great!  He did an amazing job and it feels really good to know that it has been fixed so it won't fall apart on me. You are extremely knowledgeable. I could not have done this without you. This was very emotional for me and it could have really been something I regretted for the rest of my life. Instead I feel like I got my cake and got to eat it too. I got a good deal thanks to you and I still have my grandma's ring and it is even better than before. Every time I look at this ring I will associate it with great memories of how much you helped me. Thank you so much Danielle!!!

It just happened! Thumbs way way up! Thanks again for all your advice and help throughout this (shorter than I expected) process! Seriously, I think your service and expertise are indispensable and I truly appreciate all of it. 

​Pat, New York City, NY

The ring looks great! Like really awesome. The value for me was the ease knowing I left no stone unturned and every detail was accounted for with purpose.
​
Jordan, Brooklyn, NY

I'm very happy with the ring! She said yes!

Dylan, New Jersey

A wise man once told me "know what you don't know" - and what I didn't know was anything about fine jewelry. I stumbled across them in an article on Deadspin and after doing a little research called for a free consultation. From my first conversation with Danielle I felt very comfortable that I could trust them to guide me through the process. She never pushed anything one me or went into salesperson mode. Danielle was consultative, asked the right questions and used pictures of my (then girlfriend, now fiancee) to determine a style and ring that would blow her away and stay within my budget. Although I was pleased with how easy Little Bird made everything, what was even more important is that they nailed it and helped to create a ring that she absolutely loves. If you don't know where to start or how much to spend, Danielle and the rest of the Little Bird team needs to be your first call.

Lia - your expertise, stamina, recommendations, ring therapy and general willingness to be my sounding board has been so incredible - thank you, THANK YOU. I really can't thank the three of you (Lia, Danielle, Emily) enough for all that you did to make this a reality.  I hope you're as proud and excited about this ring as I am.  It will be a part of mine and Crystal's lives forever!

Tom, Los Angeles, CA


Always love working with Little Bird! It takes a lot of pressure off of the customer and the jeweler simultaneously. We get to go into the making of this ring as a team, getting input from 3 completely different angles. By the time the customer gets introduced to me, they already have a pretty good idea of what they are looking for and all we need to do is iron out the details. I love getting to work with Lia- she is always available and ready to help!

Danielle was awesome from the start. Beginning with taking all of the very particular, yet differing ideas that two people of discerning tastes may have, Danielle worked with me to navigate the details of a custom design to make sure that every millimeter of the ring was perfect. I could not and would not have wanted to do this without her guidance. The whole experience was wonderful and the end product is a one of a kind ring that looks stunning! 

Geoff, San Francisco, CA

Danielle and Lia draw the client that wants more than to close their eyes and pick.....the client that truly wants to gift the piece of jewelry that is a perfectly considered and thought out, even poured over, extension of the one it represents...of the love it represents. I love that. I am a dreamer....that is what I am great at.....and that is what Danielle and Lia do.

When I realized I wanted to marry Alex I knew I needed help. And that is exactly what I typed into the Little Bird “CONTACT US” box . “I need help”. That’s it. That’s all I wrote. Within a few days I had established a great working relationship with Danielle at Little Bird. 

She proceeded to suggest ideas I had not considered and help guide me through my thought process in order to arrive at the ring that I thought Alex would like best. More than a few phone calls, and several long email chains, we had arrived at a ring from Brilliant Earth. 

The stage was set for Alex and I to travel to Italy and go hiking in the Dolomites. I had not mentioned a word about the proposal to anyone minus my best friend and my mother. Alex was completely surprised when I knelt down and proposed to her. The moment was made all the more special when Alex expressed how much she loved her Sapphire ring.

I can’t thank Danielle and Little Bird enough for walking me through the challenges of finding a ring that speaks to the love you have for your partner.

Brad, Phoenix, AZ

When fortunate folks find their way to Lia and Danielle, everyone wins. Clients get what they really want (whether they know it or not, yet), at a savings, and their league of hand-picked designers and suppliers get a streamlined, low-stress experience. We feel lucky that Little Bird has brought us into their lovely little community with shared interests in sustainability, ethical practices and just plain being nice.

Jared Holstein
Partner, Perpetuum Jewels

For a guy who knew absolutely nothing about jewelry, or where to even start when it came to purchasing a ring, the girls at Little Bird made the entire experience one to remember. They took the time to get to know me and my future fiance all while helping me craft the perfect ending to my unique story. For those who have doubts about purchasing a ring without having seen it in person, don't. Never once did I feel led astray by the girls at Little Bird.

Chad, Michigan

She digs it. Loves it. Everything could not have come together any better. Thanks so much  for all your help!

Brian, Brooklyn, NY

Little Bird and their clients are a dream! The process always comes with the feel of true collaboration, and the lines of communication are always open. LB brings great ideas and well educated clients to the table. They are very thoughtful about pairing the client and jeweler, relationships are obviously important to them, which we could not appreciate more! We love having Lia and Danielle as part of our “team”!

We got engaged at the end of May after we had finished moving into our new house and our pup had come to live with us (he had been staying at her parents because they had rescued him the month before and were keeping him until the house was ready).  It wasn't incredibly original because her schedule was so busy if I had remotely tried to get her to do anything big, she would have known immediately.  So instead I went out and got a new dog tag made that had what will be her married name on it, and when I was ready I swapped out the tag and clipped the ring to it.  I then asked her if her dad had swapped out the tag for us since he'd said he would, and she went to look at it.  She was totally oblivious to the ring, and instead said, "Why does this have my first name and your last name on it?" - trying to give me a hard time because we were't engaged yet *haha*.  So I told her to look again and she saw it and started crying, then I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me and she said "yes". That's about all there is too it.  It was just us and the dog at the new house which fits who we are.  The ring looks great on her and she loves the surprise emeralds.  

Peter, Jacksonville, FL

She said yes, and tells me that she loves the ring! Thanks for all your help during the process, I will recommend to anyone about to make the plunge.

Like I'm sure many people around this time, I found out about Little Bird from a blog post I stumbled on. I had begun my search for an engagement ring and like most, I was clueless. The article I read had great advice and also information on how to contact the engagement ring specialist. Jumping on that opportunity was the best thing I could've done. I hated the idea of spending hours of my scarce free time going from jewelry store to jewelry store not knowing what to look for or how much I could spend. Fortunately, Lia from Little Bird was there with me every step of the way. Lia took time to speak with me on the phone at length to find out what I wanted in a ring and what my girlfriend was like and would enjoy in a ring. It seemed like almost every day, and sometimes several times a day that we were in contact. She would show me pictures of ring options until we narrowed down what I was looking for. But the best part came when she actually made the calls to jewelry stores to prospect for me. She asked all the questions I needed answered about if they could do what I wanted and work in my budget and when I could come in to meet with them. By the time she was done, all I had to do was walk into the store and buy a ring. Lia took what I thought would be a weeks or months long process and condenses it into just a few hours of my life. Way easier than I ever thought it could've been. My fiancé loves the ring and loves that I got everything right in getting her what she wanted. Some of that I can attribute to being a good listener, but most of that is thanks to Lia's tireless efforts. I can not recommend Lia and Little Bird enough. Be sure to hire them when you need to tackle this daunting task, because whatever you pay will be a bargain compared to the time and stress you save trying to go it alone. Thanks again, Lia!
 
Dan, NY, NY 

Thanks so much for all of your help with the ring. I actually received it on April 1st and it is perfect! I popped the question this past Saturday and she said "yes". She loves the ring! You had a part in all of this so I thought I would let you know the outcome!

Thank you so much for all of your help! Without you I would have been completely and entirely lost! It could not have been any better.

Danielle helped my fiancé procure my engagement ring and I could not be happier with the results. I get so many compliments on my ring and I feel so lucky to wear such a beautiful and unique ring for the rest of my life.

Rose, San Francisco, CA 
Thank you for all your help, tutelage, and being the voice of reason throughout this process. Looking back, I can safely say that I was a demanding customer; but who would not be with such an important purchase?! Simultaneously, I had a very specific vision for a non-traditional ring with a non-traditional stone. Danielle was very knowledgeable about emeralds and the considerations that must be taken into account when getting them set. I would like to think that my good looks and charm were the only things that sealed the deal and got me that "yes!", but maybe the ring had something to do with it too...the world may never know.


Ben, San Francisco, CA 

I was lucky enough to have Danielle at Little Bird help me in my mission to find the perfect engagement ring. Knowing absolutely nothing about the processing of picking out a diamond, Danielle was able to provide me with the knowledge I needed even after just one consultation. Throughout the process Danielle was there whenever I needed her, she was constantly checking in on me, sending me recommendations of diamonds and made me feel completely comfortable with the process. Danielle was patient and listened to my thoughts and ideas and took everything into consideration. I felt like Danielle was a lifelong friend who knew exactly what I was looking for. The ladies at Little Bird are professional, and add the much needed aspect of fun to make the experience even better and less stressful. They are extremely knowledgeable of the industry and I couldn’t have done this without their help. Thank you for helping me pick out the perfect ring.

Ross, San Diego, CA
My fiance did an amazing job with my ring. I was shocked that he had taken such good notes over the years that we had been together, but then realized he had the help of Danielle and her team. Between the two of them they designed the most perfect engagement ring I could have ever imagined. He has great taste, but I know he couldn't have done it without Danielle and Little Bird.

Alana, San Diego, CA

Thank God we had Little Bird. 

Little Bird helped us navigate the confusing process of diamond buying. Get this: we took Danielle, incognito, to my family's "diamond guy" to help us verify his diamonds against some of the other shops we were considering. Thankfully he passed with flying colors. 

We ended up buying a different diamond that became available at Brilliant Earth and walked away confident that we got a unique stone with high value. Danielle is an honest, independent diamond expert and FUN to work with.


Laura, San Francisco, CA

I’m in love with my ring. Everything about it is beautiful and it is exactly what I have always dreamed of. I showed Adam different styles that I loved and Danielle helped bring the ring to life. My engagement ring was so fabulous that we decided to have Danielle help with our wedding bands as well.

Samantha, San Rafael , CA
 I began the diamond adventure with Danielle a few years back when I consulted her regarding ethical diamonds. At the time I knew very little about diamonds, however, I knew that I wanted an ethical diamond. I wanted to make sure that the ring I purchased was one that I would feel good about Samantha wearing. Danielle’s extensive knowledge of diamonds was nothing short of impressive. She really made the whole process fun and easy! Thank you for all the advice and guidance, the ring is perfect. We look forward to our big day and of course Danielle will be on the guest list!

Adam, San Rafael , CA

Thanks so much, Danielle & Lia. I'm super excited. And can't wait to see the finished ring.

Darren, San Francisca, CA
I had no idea my proposal was coming; we had never even discussed or looked at rings.  I am still amazed that he was able to find something so 'me'.  I am so glad he had Danielle to help him though it. My ring is a dream come true!  It was like Darren had my best friend right there with him during the design process.  I couldn't have done better even if I did it myself! I loved the engagement ring so much that we consulted her when it came time to purchase our wedding bands as well!

Jon: General contractor and Master Woodworker
Diamond Experience: Zero
When I first decided that the time had come to take the next step I had enough experience to know that I needed an expert to help me make the right choices. I called Little Bird knowing that Danielle was highly knowledgeable and professional in the industry. She brought me in for a consultation and immediately I knew that I had found the perfect person to help me navigate the engagement ring gauntlet. She started by giving me a precursor on the general knowledge of the diamond industry, i.e. clarity, color, cut, and origin. These areas helped me to make an informed decision on what was important in selecting the right diamond for our taste and budget.  We then moved on to design and flavor. We rapidly narrowed down the choices to two rings. She then walked me through the pros and cons of each ring and helped me to find the ring that my girlfriend would love for the rest of our lives.  I knew I chose right when I opened that box and saw the sparkle in her eyes.   Thanks for everything!

Jon, Fairfax, CA
Ashley: Artist and Perfectionist
Diamond Experience: Hasn’t taken the ring off since she got it
Jon and Danielle couldn’t have picked out a more beautiful ring for my taste. It has the perfect balance of old world elegance, sparkle, shape, and size. Before getting engaged, I couldn’t stand wearing rings because they always felt so cumbersome and distracting, especially being an artist who works with my hands. However the ring that Jon and Danielle selected fits my lifestyle flawlessly and I love seeing it on my hand every day. After seeing some of my friend’s reservations after receiving their engagement rings, I was a little nervous to see what Jon would pick out for me one day. Luckily, with Danielle’s help he surpassed my expectations and blew me away!

Ashley, Fairfax, CA

We can’t say enough about how positive our experience with Danielle & Lia were while we were choosing our wedding rings.  She was patient, and creative, and supportive, and encouraging while we worked through exactly what we were both looking for.  She helped us to make sure we were getting exactly what we had imagined and in the end, we both ended up with the perfect rings!  My rings, specifically, needed some extra attention to make sure that the jeweler was creating something that would compliment my engagement ring, as well as be something that could stand on its own.  Danielle made sure that communication was constant, and in the end, we were thrilled with the end result!  

Elena & Trent, Oakland, CA

I really can't express enough how valuable your opinion, expertise and guidance was, thanks so much!   Seriously, with my personality the process would have been painful and taken at least 3 times longer.   I cannot thank you enough. You're awesome!  I'll definitely refer you.


Steven, San Francisco, CA

We had a great time designing the ring together in our heads, and when it came time to put pen to paper and execute the design, Danielle did a great job turning the vision into reality. I must admit, I wanted to get it just right, but Danielle and team were a pleasure to work with and pulled it off flawlessly. We wanted something one of a kind, and that's exactly what we got!

Thornton & Sarah, San Francisco, CA

Danielle was incredibly helpful, personable and knowledgeable in her craft, and picked out a unique band to  accompany my engagement ring perfectly.  She was great to work with!
