Dorothee designed a gorgeous ring for me. Using my wedding band and a family diamond, she created a new ring that suits me at this stage of life! She listened to me to understand the story behind my jewelry and then created a new, beautiful ring. She is friendly, knowledgeable, creative and professional.
