Happy Customers

We wanted to do something different with the making of our engagement rings. We wanted to do it ourselves as we felt that this would contribute to a special milestone in our lives. As every objective in life has its challenges, this outing was no other as we couldn’t find anyone willing or experienced enough to work with clients who prefer making their own engagement rings. Luckily we came across Robin and Desmond at Outclass crystalized gems. These guys have a passion for what they do, they go the extra mile to give you inside into their world. Together with Daniel, an experienced jewelery maker from Leegee jewelry, we could finally enjoy the art of making our own engagement rings. – Elanie
