My husband and I worked with Russ on creating my husbands wedding band. We did a lot of research including price shopping on jewelers from Norwalk to Stamford to Greenwich and Russ stood above them all. Then we met him in person and all of our expectations were far surpassed. When Russ began working with us I thought of him as a member of the family, maybe a spunky uncle if you will! It was so easy to work with him. He was open to texting which in my busy life made things a lot easier. Throughout the process, I could call/text him and drop by even if his store wasnt technically open. Together, Russ, my husband, and myself designed the ring of our dreams. My ring is white gold and rose gold on the inside, so we wanted his ring to mimic that. We brought a few pictures and Russ spec-ed it out while we sat there with him. He took some time to cut the pieces of precious metal and sent us pictures of the fusing process to our cell phone. If that wasnt enough, when it was time to put the contour into the ring, he invited us to come downstairs into his shop and watch/take video/pictures. We felt so much a part of the making of the ring and learned a lot too. From raw metal to a beautiful symbol of our love, we watched the ring take form before our eyes. It was pretty amazing. When we found Russ I had already had my wedding band and engagement ring - My fiance got both designed by a family jeweler of a friend in long island. I never met that designer, but my husband always said, he wishes he had worked with Russ for my rings as well. We feel so blessed that we found Russ. :) It is one of our favorite memories from planning our wedding.

Russ did a fantastic repair job on my existing pave diamond engagement setting last summer. He helped reinforce the setting and reset the small diamonds in my band in a way that saved me from having further headaches with my ring. Extremely competent, couldnt be nicer and very accommodating. A pleasure to work with...I wish I had gone to him in the first place for my setting! Altogether a five star repair experience and two thumbs up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I hired R. Hollander to craft a custom engagement ring and was so happy with it that my wife and I commissioned them to make our wedding bands as well! Russ and Kate were always very friendly when we visited and talked with us at length about the design before beginning work. They made recommendations on metal and gems that fit our budget and never once made us feel like we couldnt have the rings we dreamed of.

Russ made the exact vision of my engagement ring a reality. Its like he got inside my head and then made my dream ring come to life. I love it! Russ is super respectful of a budget, he clearly loves what he does, and he make beautiful things. I feel like I get to wear a piece of art. I highly recommend Russ to anyone looking for a custom piece of jewelry.

Russ Rocks! One of the True Goldsmiths left! Custom jewelry, made on-site, to order, and by a master... Not catalog ordered junk.

Russ is the best! He listens to what you imagine and makes it better than reality while remaining in budget!
