Excellence, exceptionalism, meticulousness and trustworthiness are all words that could be used to describe Lauren and the work that she performs at Lauren Belle Jewelry — but none would be even remotely sufficient. The devotion to her craft is... evident in every step of her process, beginning with the opening minutes of the initial consultation, and ending with the ownership of a piece of jewelry that will leave you mesmerized for years to come. I was referred to Lauren by a friend, and from the onset of our first phone call, I knew that there was a trust that I could place in her that money simply cannot buy. Her honesty, her intentionality, her sincere care for the buyer and the attention to detail that she applies to the pieces she creates far exceeded my wildest expectations. She's firm in her convictions, but amenable where it counts. And if you put your faith in her expertise, you will not be disappointed. Lauren communicates clearly, effectively and efficiently to ensure that you're always up-to-date on any and every decision along the way. When I began working with Lauren on my fiancée's engagement ring, I knew immediately that I would be returning to her for both her wedding band as well as my own. And when I held that ring in my hands for the first time, I was moved so profoundly that I sincerely could not determine how to best respond in order to express the joy that overwhelmed me. It was (and is), by every definition, perfect. My fiancée tells me multiple times a day — almost every single day — how much she loves her ring. It never gets old. And that's the kind of consistent, authentic reaction only a craftsman like Lauren can provide. Finding Lauren was such a blessing, and collaborating with her on all three of these pieces has been an honor each and every time. She makes beautiful jewelry that will last forever, and that will render you and/or your loved ones awestruck every day, moment by moment, along the way.
