Friend and Company

eren't sure where to go here at home. So, we procrastinated the purchase because our wedding costs kept growing, and the amount of money left in our budget kept shrinking. Finally, in a panic, we started visiting chain mall stores only to find: ornate rings out of our price range, low quality rings, or decent rings that could not be ordered in our time frame. I was heartbroken when the store clerks kept telling me that, with our dwindling budget, we could not get beautiful, durable, engraved wedding bands in time for our wedding. I was scared of ordering online, then receiving rings that didn't fit with no time for shipping returns. I second-guessed all my planning decisions that led me to this point. Then, one day, because Friend and Company is close to his office, my husband decided to visit them on his lunch break. Afterwards, he immediately called me to say that he had found our jeweler! I could not believe how kind and professional the staff was. They even helped us pick the phrase we chose for our engraving. We ordered classic white gold bands. They MADE them and engraved them in their shop in two weeks, just in time for our wedding. It could not have been a better experience. We got to support a local business employing local artisans who have been in nola for generations, and we get to wear beautiful, heirloom quality, rings. I had no idea that our jeweler would become one of our favorite vendors. We are so lucky to have found them. They also offer registries for silver and crystal. Any time we have extra money for anniversaries, birthdays, or other special occasions, we plan to spend it here. What a wonderful, wonderful company! Thank you!!!
