A bride is a very interesting creature. Especially when it comes to her engagement/wedding rings. At a very busy wedding show there was the Joseph Jewelry booth, funny I didn't know then when Danny (the owners brother and amazing jeweler) called out to compliment my princess cut solitaire that I would be making a life long business relationship.
Drawn to their booth by technology I wandered over to check them out. Danny was amazingly friendly and asked if he could snap a picture of my solitaire stone quick. Just a few moments later he produced four images on a computer screen of what we could turn my solitaire stone into.
I ended up taking a business card. A few weeks later I was going through some old stuff and found a picture of a designer wedding set I could never afford folded up and placed away five years earlier. I took the magazine clipping and went to visit Joseph and Danny in their beautiful quaint up scale shop in old down town Bellevue. I had been dreaming about this particular set for years, and had three other jewelers told me they could not even begin to try a custom copy due to the detail on the bands.
I presented the picture expecting to hear either they could not do the custom design or that it was out of my price range. Joseph and Danny are amazing! They took the picture, scanned it on their computer, and presented to me a CAD image of the one engagement band and two wedding bands I had been dreaming about.
Before I knew it Danny had created a piece of art that was in my budget. They were amazing to work with from everything to creativity and pricing/budget. I now wear the dream set I never imaged I could afford or find.
