Vardy's Jewelers

er gave us her wedding band and that of her late husbands and said we could do whatever we wanted with them, she just wanted us to have them. So instead of keeping them in a drawer (they didn’t fit) we took them to a few different jewelers that were highly rated (on Google) to see if we could get them custom-tailored to us. The bands were both gold with channel-set diamonds, so every jeweler told us they would not be able to resize them to fit our fingers, so they would have to be melted down and the diamonds would have to be reset. Each ring had dozens of tiny little diamonds that didn’t hold a lot of value, but would be expensive to set each one so each quote we received from other jewelers was pretty obscenely high. Walking into Vardy’s was such a breath of fresh air! We spoke to Elena and she was so sweet and welcoming and listened to everything we wanted. Expense set aside, she even brought the jeweler out from the back of their shop, Misha, and talked with us on the possibilities of what we could do with these bands. We had so much fun going through the different possibilities and looking through their other custom work and found so many things we loved and pieces that were so unique. We ended up deciding to re-do my engagement band and make new wedding bands with Vardy’s. Misha was so quick to turn around the design concepts and create actual wax models I could try on and make sure they felt right. We made a few adjustments here and there and after about 3 wax models, we had him make the final pieces. We were absolutely speechless trying on our bands for the first time. The design was flawless, the execution was just more beautiful than we could have imagined. And we even had some diamonds left over! My husband had told me prior to this that he would only be wearing his gold band for special occasions and would be wearing a silicon ring on the daily, but his gold band is so comfortable he never takes it off! Thank you Vardy’s, you are a girl’s best friend’s friend and therefore my very, very best friend. Thank you for always being there for us!

sturdy yet petite channel set engagement ring. Somehow no other jeweler would offer it, steering me instead to thicker versions or rings that they already had in store. Not only was Misha able to create my ring (and the matching wedding band), he and the team at Vardy's have been maintaining our wedding rings for the past decade and lovingly helping us other jewelry needs as well. It's our privilege that a wedding vendor has been more than just a vendor, that they've been part of our story too, and returning to the shop feels a little bit like an anniversary celebration each time.

sign custom jewelry. But, when I moved to CA, I feared I'd never find anyone who could do the kind of work I was used to seeing. I'm happy to report that I was wrong! Misha and Vardy have old world skills embedded in a very modern business. While I didn't have my wedding rings made there, Misha did make me a custom set of stacking rings with my daughters' birthstones; they are both gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! Whether I'm looking for an inexpensive pair of earrings as a gift, or a more pricey custom piece, I am always treated as a valued customer and I know I will come away with something beautiful. I'm looking forward to creating a new ring for a vow renewal soon ;-)
