Stole jewellery that was to be reworked and a worthless gift certificate.

John was supposed to make pendants out of stones I gave him. He also had $400 of mine plus an additional $700 deposit. That was several years ago. He has not responded to request to return the money or stones.

I gave him an inexpensive piece of jewelry and a deposit, I wanted him to reproduce it in silver so that I could give them to my daughters for Christmas. Still haven't received them. As a person he is wonderful but he has to be fair to his customers

Having not completed a job in over a year, failed to return expensive watches and jewelry to my friend Donna Hamza, and only gave $500 back on a $1000 gift certificate.

The process was fast and fun, the price ended up being less than at the jewelry store, and the ring came out great. I'm planning on going back to John in a few months and having him do our wedding bands as well.

My first experience with John was wonderful. Made a beautiful ring. My second experience has been very frustrating. He is not responding to my emails, phone messages or instant messages. I have no idea what has become of my two remaining projects.

My first experience with John was wonderful. He created a beautiful ring for me. I then hired him to make another ring and necklace - 2 years ago! Initially he responded to my inquiries about when they would be done, but over the past year he has not responded to my phone messages or emails. He has had diamonds of mine in his possession to make this jewelry for two years. If I don't hear from him soon, I will be taking this to the authorities.

John custom made my wedding and engagement rings and I couldn't be happier! They're exactly what I would have chose, had I been there myself. My husband and I have been back to John for other things and he's always a pleasure to spend time with. He's so friendly, kind, helpful, talented and a wonderful artist!

I was referred to John through a friend while getting ready to propose to my (now) wife, and was so glad I pursued his services. Going into our first meeting I didn't know what to expect, but each and every step of the way John was extremely helpful and informative. John made the process of designing a custom engagement ring easy, taking the time to get to know my wife through me and helping me develop a ring that she absolutely loves. There is nothing like giving your future wife a ring you took the time and effort to design, and John helps make it fun and easy. My wife and I then had a great time designing her wedding ring together. On top of John being a skilled and talented jeweler, he is also a great guy and someone I would call a friend. He really makes the process fun and goes above and beyond to ensure he is delivering a top quality product. I would highly recommend him to any guy looking to design an amazing ring for his future bride, or a person looking for a beautiful piece of custom jewelry.

Although satisfied with my earrings, John took longer than expected to complete the project. I have no issues with his craftsmanship as a Jeweler but I do have an issue with his poor customer relation skills. There are lots of other talented jewelry designers. What was most annoying was his lack of communication with me regarding a cost estimate and a timeline for turning plain diamond studs into drop earrings adorned with diamond chips. Despite repeated attempts to contact him via phone and email, he was not responsive. Nor was I impressed with his design software. I couldn't get a feel for how the earrings would look based on the designs he showed me on the computer. So I found pics of what I was looking for online and showed John the design I liked. Thankfully the earrings are lovely. But I doubt I will bring him my business again.

John was great to work with and made the perfect custom wedding band to fit around my engagement ring. He really listened to what I wanted and delivered! My husband (an engineer) loved that John took the time to do CAD drawings of different options for the design so that I could see what the ring would really look like with various options. We highly recommend John!

John designed a necklace with a bezel setting with my great-grandmother's diamond for me. After a few emails back and forth, I visited with him at his office in a downtown office building (plenty of parking on nearby Shipley Street, as well as a garage on Shipley right between 9th and 10th Streets) and spent about a half-hour reviewing the process and then designing the setting using his design software. Even though I visited John only a few days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, he was able to accommodate my request for a quicker-than-usual turnaround. If I need any jewelry designed in the future, there's no question I'll consult with John first.
