I came to see Ranin about turning a sentimental pebble into a custom piece of jewelry and I could not have been happier with the entire experience and the final result!
She patiently walked me through every step of the process, starting with hand-drawn sketches of a few different directions so I could see how the stone would sit in a prong setting versus a bezel, front and back, before committing to anything. She was completely upfront about pricing from the start.
Her communication throughout was excellent. She sent photos and videos as the wax carving came together, kept me posted on when it was heading to casting, and made sure I was happy with each stage. For the chain, she took the time to try on several different options with me in the shop so I could actually see how each one looked.
The finished piece looks even better in person!
