My girlfriend wrote a review already, but I wanted to give a guys perspective. Knowing I wanted to propose, I knew I was in for a rough time finding a ring. The only piece of jewelry I had bought before this was a chain for a pendant. So I had no idea what to expect, and was pretty nervous about the whole process. I also had no interest in the new trend of just throwing as big of a rock you can on a ring and calling it done. My girlfriend likes quality pieces but isnt flashy, she also is an active person so big stones all over would just get in the way. So I had to find a place that would do custom work, had a great imagination and knowledge to guide me through and wasnt afraid of a challenge. After googling and looking into a bunch of places in the area I decided to give Brian and Lilly a visit. Thats probably the best choice Ive made in a while. I set up an appointment to go see them and when I got there immediately felt welcome and relaxed. They have a nice shop, but they do not have an intimidating feel to the place and are very warm people. We sat down and started talking, what was my girlfriends name, what types of things do we like to do etc... they actually care about you, and not just the sale. I told them I wanted something custom with a decent sized diamond but not one that completely dominates the ring. I really wanted to focus on detail, where you have to get close and look at the ring to appreciate it. After talking for a while they sent me off to return the next week. On my return they had drawings of what they thought would be something I might like. They hit the nail on the head, they took the little bit of information I gave them and made something really unique. Another visit later and we had worked out all the little details and Brian got to work printing a 3-d model and making a 3-d CAD drawing. The 3-d print was really cool and my girlfriend loved it when she got to keep it after doing a sizing. We decided on the final changes and went off. Fast forward about a month or so, and Brian was driving over to get the ring to me in time for my flight so I could go propose. He had kept it a day or two longer than planned to take extra time on the ring and change a few things to make it look better. I am glad he did, the ring is absolutely perfect and my girlfriend loves it. Would your local Kay Jeweler drive to your house at 9pm on Saturday night? I dont think they would. No one will have the same ring, and it has meaning behind it, also they worked hard to give it a timeless look that we can pass down to future generations. There were multiple comments in a few days that it looked like someones aunts ring, or something from the past. Thats what I wanted, something beautiful that wont ever be some fad piece. They are younger and you can feel their energy and passion for the work, giving you confidence they can do what you want. I gave them small hints and a little direction and they gave me an amazing result. If you are hesitant or unsure about what you want in a ring GO VISIT THEM. Let them run wild, you will be so happy you did. They did not once pressure me to get a bigger diamond or spend more, they actually wanted to keep me below my top budget, and they DID. So guys, just go over there, it makes the process very simple, very clear and easy to understand and your wife will love it forever.

Couldnt have been better. Im a dude-and being a dude, I was scared to death when I went to buy an engagement ring for my then fiance. When I walked up to Booth Custom I was greeted at the door by Brian, one of the owners. He calmed me down and helped me figure out what to do. Eventually, I brought in my fiance to help with the process. With a small amount of guidance we let Brian and Lilly just run with it. The result-the most amazing ring Ive ever seen at a price under the cost of the some of the big yellow rocks I was looking at previously. This ring is a work of art and without a doubt the best single purchase Ive ever made in my life. Couldnt be more pleased. If you are a dude in the same boat, stop what you are doing and just go to Booth. Prepare to watch your fiances face melt off when you show it to her. PS-Every time her friends tell her it is the perfect ring for her you will look like even more of a stud. Thanks Brian and Lilly!!!

Brian and Lilly are absolutely amazing. My fiancé and I are actually a little sad to be picking up our wedding bands finally because that means no more meetings with Booth Custom! We have had a great experience working with both of them. My engagement ring is an antique piece, and they were able to create the most beautiful band to compliment it perfectly - matching a lot of the detail work on the ring. My fiancé also had his band custom made and Brian and Lilly worked with us on how exactly he envisioned the ring and the color of the stones. They will work with any budget and can do a lot more than engagement rings and wedding bands! We look forward to working with them in the future and recommend all our friends here.

I was lost for words when I received my engagement ring last week! Lily & Brian are an amazingly talented pair and passionate about what they do. I didnt give much direction to my fiancé as to what I wanted other than "different yet timeless". Brian, Lily and my fiancé where able to come up with something that fit my personality and lifestyle to a T. I also had the pleasure to join in on one of the meeting to have my size taken and check out the wax mold of my ring (which was amazing to see!) There studio is adorable and not intimidating like some of the mainstream jewelry stores tend to be. Love, love, LOVE their work!

Brian was very easy to work with and truly cares about restoring antique jewlery to its former glory. I brought in a 80+ year old engagment ring for my now fiance and had all intentions on adding more stones to it. Brian talked me through the process of what he would do to add stones but by the end of the conversation he had convinced me to just let him resize and repair any cracks. He did not want the new stones to take away the from the look and uniqueness of the ring. I owe Brian big time for not only saving me expense wise, but also because my fiance loves the ring for the unique look of it.

Booth Custom Jewelers made a fantastic ring for me over a year ago and I still cant get over how amazing it is. I went into my meeting with Lily and Brian with many ideas but no concrete directions. They took all my random thoughts and designed a ring that is perfectly me and everything I wanted. I always get compliments on the craftsmanship and detail of the ring. Booth created the ideal custom piece of jewelry for me and I wouldnt hesitate to use their services again in the future.
