    Cannot recommend Christopher Duquet highly enough. Working with Priscilla to design our dream engagement ring was a wonderful experience; we appreciated her guidance, thoughtfulness, and care to incorporate so many special details we love. The Christopher Duquet team crafts timeless, one-of-a-kind artesian pieces you will treasure for lifetimes to come. We are so grateful to have chosen CD for our wedding pieces. We’ll be customers for life.

    Amazing custom designed jewelry! A good friend referred me to here for my engagement ring to my now wife. We both visited and looked around and then worked with Mr. Duquet to come up with a design that we liked. His team did an incredible job making it. We went back for custom wedding rings, which we love and my wife also took some old jewelry in to have the stones out into a new ring. Mr. Duquet and his staff are very friendly and courteous and take the time to work with you to ensure what you have made is stunning. And if you're like me and have ideas that just can't be done, they let you know politely. If you are looking for an original piece of jewelry, you can't do better than here.

    I had such an amazing experience with Chirstopher Duquet Fine Jewelry. Villi was very responsive throughout the whole process and had my best interest at heart. She gave me style design options after the initial ideation phase as well as a great diamond selection once she knew my preferences. The process was seamless and the ring turned out phenomenal! Would 10/10 recommend this service for anyone looking for customized rings or Jewelry. Both Villi and Christopher are wholesome and wonderful people, thank you so much!! My Fiance loved the customization, because it told a meaningful story of our love.

    If you're looking for a jeweler that's transparent about their processes/pricing while providing great service and an even better product, then start with Christopher Duquet. I bought an engagement ring from them and didn't know much aside from my budget and a rough idea of what kind of ring my (now) fiancé would like. Villi walked me through their process, the kinds of materials they use (only lab-grown diamonds here, which was what we wanted anyway), and laid out all of the costs I should expect to pay (I'd forgotten to think about how pricey the tax will be on an engagement ring, for example). I got started at Christopher Duquet a few months before the proposal, so we had a flexible timeline. Seemed like they could *maybe* squeeze in a tighter timeline if I had needed it tho. Oh, and the most important part. My fiancé loves the ring. I do, too. I think they did an amazing job. Can't recommend this team enough.

    Could NOT have been happier with the services provided by Cordelia and the rest of the Christopher Duquet team. I came in mid-2020 to have an engagement ring custom designed using family heirloom jewelry from when my grandmother passed away when I was a kid. This had always been a dream of mine to be able to use her jewelry for my future wife to make what she had into a modern vintage inspired piece. She made an absolute gorgeous setting for the engagement ring using my two largest diamonds with an alternative birthstone for my wife’s birth month (September) as the centerpiece as she didn’t want a diamond as the main focal point. When we first designed the engagement ring we did a rough plan for the wedding band, with the same concept of using my grandmothers diamonds and rubies, which was her birthstone, and our wedding month was July. Once the time came to fully design the wedding band, again I/we couldn’t have been happier with what Cordelia had made for my wife. If you’re looking for a custom jeweler that can do literally anything, this is the place. I was so happy with the time, care, and attention to the little details we wanted. I again couldn’t be happier and don’t think I could have chosen a better place to design her rings using antique precious gems. We will certainly continue to use them in the future and strong suggest you do as well

    Working with Villi and the full Christopher Duquet team on an engagement ring was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The process was highly collaborative – the team took the time to educate us on diamonds and ring options, offer fantastic design guidance and tweak until everything felt exactly right. My fiancée was thrilled with her engagement ring!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry to create the perfect engagement ring, and I must say that the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and genuine enthusiasm from the knowledgeable staff. One of the standout qualities was their remarkable attention to detail. Villi took the time to understand my vision and aspirations, meticulously translating them into a breathtaking piece of art. The level of care and precision that went into crafting the engagement ring was truly remarkable. Every element, from the selection of the finest diamonds to the intricately designed band, showcased the expert craftsmanship that sets this store apart. Moreover, the team at Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry made the entire process an absolute joy. Their friendly and approachable demeanor instantly put me at ease, and they patiently guided me through each step, ensuring that every aspect of the ring met my expectations. They took the time to explain the various options available, helping me make informed decisions along the way. What impressed me the most was the genuine passion and dedication displayed by everyone. They genuinely cared about creating a ring that would symbolize the depth of my love and commitment. I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of a truly extraordinary engagement ring. The unparalleled attention to detail, the care invested in every aspect of the design, and the genuinely pleasant atmosphere make it an outstanding choice. I am immensely grateful for their contribution in making this special moment in my life even more unforgettable.

    You will love your experience with Christopher Duquet and his team, and you can trust them to design the perfect piece for your special occasion. When the time came to propose to my now-fiancé, I dreaded the process of choosing from the endless options brick-and-mortar and online retailers offered. I called the store and set up a consultation with Villi, one of the designers. She sat with me to discuss ideas for the design, provided me with several sketches to choose from, and produced a ring that was better than I could have ever imagined. Their attention to detail and their guidance was worth every cent. They gained my confidence through every step in production—from consultation through delivery. We will certainly return to Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry Design!

    My fiancée and I several months later are still thrilled that we chose Christopher Duquet for my engagement ring. We originally came here after seeing a few of their designs online and while we did not originally realize they mostly make custom rings Villi was extremely nice and helpful and walked us through what the process would look like if we decided to go with them. We looked at another place and decided to go back to Christopher Duquet. Villi showed us several stones and I fell in love with one. She drew up a design and was kind enough to offer to hold the stone for a bit while we decided. The whole process went very smoothly, everyone we worked with was very professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to do business with. The price they quoted us was what we paid, no hidden fees, and the ring came out looking almost exactly like the drawn design. I highly recommend going to them for any custom made jewelry, as well as their already made gorgeous designs.

    We had an amazing experience at Christopher Duquet working with Villi to design my engagement ring. The whole design process was great - Villi quickly understood our vision for the ring and her design perfectly captured what we were looking for. Villi is very talented and a pleasure to work with. Truly couldn’t be happier with how the ring turned out!

    I literally cried when I saw my ring it was THAT beautiful... When I decided to reset my diamond for my 10 year anniversary Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry was my top choice. Christopher was calm and thoughtful as he explained options, he was transparent about costs, and he really listened to what I wanted. His amazing sketch work, drawn as we chatted, helped me make choices and greatly sped up the process so that I ended up with the perfect ring in time for my 10 year celebration. I cannot recommend him enough!!

    I had the best experience here! Not only did my fiancés ring turn out better than expected, Priscilla was sooooo amazing! She was so incredibly helpful and patient with me through the whole process. I would highly recommend using Christopher Duquet!!!!

    Christopher Duquet is a wonderful studio with a phenomenal staff that will work with you to achieve the vision you need for your special day. We went there searching for engagement rings and were provided with the best custom experience we could have imagined. Not only is their work impeccable, but their process helps guide you from beginning to end and the outcome is exactly what you want. They are experts in what they do and so much better than any jeweler you would find at a mall. You truly get the boutique experience and the attention needed to ensure that your jewelry is cherished forever. We couldn't be happier recommending Duquet.

    My husband & I bought my ring back in 2008. Mr. Duquet made our experience a wonderful journey. Now 14 years later we went back to get to create a custom piece using my grandma’s engagement ring. Another beautiful experience & I’m forever grateful.

    Priscilla is a wonderful collaborator! She listened to my wife and I describe what we wanted in our wedding bands and designed something exactly like we were imagining. Priscilla was able to show us examples similar to what we wanted in the shop and made it more suited to our style. Everyone who works here is super helpful and truly enjoys their work. I love this jewelry shop and can't wait to design my next piece!

    The entire team at Christopher Duquet was stellar from beginning to end. Villi, Priscilla, and Sarah are all so dedicated to their customers and we felt this from our first visit. I walked them through my vision and they executed every detail to a tee. The team makes you feel comfortable and confident in each part of the creative process, educating you along the way. We had such a great experience with the engagement ring that we came back to design our wedding bands. It’s been a little over a year since the engagement and I get just as excited to put it on as the first day. Thank you for a very memorable experience!

  • 5/5 Sonia M. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a very specific idea of what we wanted for our wedding bands. We tried to find a jeweler who would work with our design. After a few attempts we met Christopher and his team who were willing to spend time working with us to turn our concept into reality. Christopher was attentive to every detail and guided us through each step of the process. We could trust he knew what we wanted the end product to look like. The first time we tried on our rings the fit was so perfect that we felt we had already been wearing them for years. He was also able to deliver them right before Christmas on a tight schedule. We can’t thank Christopher and his team enough for their kindness, remarkable craftsmanship and patience. It made our process fun, creative and stress free.

    If I could give 10 stars I would! My fiance and I had a phenomenal experience at Christopher Duquet working with Villi. She is a master of her craft, a true artist who made me feel so special through the process of having a family heirloom ring redesigned to be a custom engagement ring. The process was very collaborative, and Villi did an incredible job of translating what I wanted for my ring while keeping the spirit of the original heirloom in tact. I can't recommend this experience enough, and can't wait to go back to have our wedding bands designed. Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Anna L. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Priscilla at Christopher Duquet. I cannot recommend them enough! We came to Christopher Duquet because we needed help with selecting our wedding bands. I was hoping that my wedding band could be custom fit along the curvature of my sapphire engagement ring. Priscilla was fantastic to work with. She was trustworthy, professional, and patient when guiding us through the end-to-end process. And, Priscilla offered really helpful recommendations based on her expertise (which we needed!). The results were beautiful - I am in love my set, and my husband always wears his band as well. Thank you, Priscilla!

    Knowledgeable. Friendly. Unique. That's what I was looking for in a jeweler and Christopher Duquet delivered in every respect. I provided some general artistic guidance in what I was looking for in my fiancé's engagement ring and the team created something truly special. Friends and family have made numerous admiring remarks since our engagement earlier this week. It's a real testament to the Christopher Duquet team and I must tip my hat. Based on the results I will undoubtedly be a repeat customer for the wedding band!

    Our family inherited an old engagement ring and necklace. Christopher helped us design a new ring set. He sent us some CAD representations of the pieces. We went in for a fitting. The rings were ready! He took the time to answer all our questions and to educate us. We returned to have him make a pair of earrings for my daughter. We returned again to have him appraise my mother’s jewelry. We will be back again to redesign sentimental pieces into something that better suits our style in the future. For now, we are incandescently happy with the work. -Im Schmiggedy

    Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry has performed three services for me, all to perfection. They repaired my pave wedding band which I had cut in half in order to get it off my finger! The result was flawless. The decorative cut on the inside was repaired beautifully. They removed a gorgeous diamond from my late beloved mother-in-law’s ring and elegantly re-designed it to look timeless. (And match my pave wedding band!) They repaired a favorite amber ring whose metal had become bent with wear and tear over time. Perfection. I will continue to trust them with my most cherished possessions. They listen, give honest advice, and design elegant pieces.

    I started my engagement ring search earlier this year, and I was not satisfied with the selection or customer service found at chain stores. I am very happy I turned to Christopher Duquet. At my first visit, Priscilla and I spoke in detail about what I envisioned and answered numerous questions--even though I did not have a scheduled appointment. She worked with me until the ring was exactly right. My now fiance was blown away by the unique features of the ring and the quality craftsmanship. We were so happy with how the engagement ring turned out, that we already went back to select our wedding bands.
