on Citysearch Mar 25, 2010Christopher designed and his staff created, the most beautiful ring we have ever seen! My wife is quite blissed out with this ring created around her grandmother's diamond, cut in 1920's. We couldn't be happier with... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2010Once we walked into Christopher's shop, we knew this was the place to buy our rings. When we got engaged over 6 years ago, if a jewelry store had a bezel setting, there was just one. In contrast, Christopher had so many... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2009I had no idea engagement ring buying would be this easy. It seems as if everyone has 'a guy' or 'knows someone' when it comes to ring buying. Being new in town, I don't. All the hook ups I might have had are in the South and... (more)
