It’s comforting to know that some people will go out of their way to make a special event as pleasant as possible during these most unusual times.
Such was the case with Geoffrey at Barclay’s Fine Jewellers! We sent Geoffrey a text message in...quiring about the possibility of creating a ruby anniversary ring utilizing some of the gold and diamonds from my original engagement and wedding band set to celebrate our 40th anniversary.
We really weren’t expecting that we would be able to get this done considering the COVID-19 challenges and the fact that our anniversary was less than 2 weeks away. But to our surprise, Geoffrey got back to us, set up a meeting with just us (with all the precautions of social distancing of course) and went over what I had in mind for a design. The experience was very collaborative and Geoffrey was extremely helpful in providing an alternate (but similar) design so it used as much of the original set as possible and was versatile to ware. Needless to say, Geoffrey got things in motion very quickly, brought in the rubies for us to see and was able to have the final ruby wedding band ready right BEFORE our anniversary! Barclay’s went out of their way to design the ring, get the rubies in and have their goldsmith complete it in time. We are very pleased with the final product and the service was superb. Thanks Geoffrey for making our 40th one to remember!
