Before
coming
to
Beechwold
Custom
Jewelry,
I
had
hastily
made
a
purchase
at
a
large
retailer
that
I
soon
regretted.
I
thought
that
I
wanted
a
lot
of
detail
in
my
engagement
ring,
and
after
looking
through
all
the
settings
they
had,
I
decided
this
ring
(with
wedding
band)
was
the
best
one
I
was
going
to
find.
The
associate
working
with
me
pointed
me
to
a
half
carat
diamond
that
was
supposedly
a
great
color
and
cut
for
the
price,
and
she
encouraged
me
to
buy
it
right
away
because
at
that
price,
it
wasn’t
going
to
be
around
long.
Being
somewhat
of
a
pushover,
I
ended
up
purchasing
it
and
spending
quite
a
bit
of
money
in
the
process.
Once
they
had
set
the
diamond
and
I
came
to
pick
it
up,
I
was
not
happy
with
it.
The
quality
didn’t
seem
very
good
and
the
diamond
wasn’t
as
bright
as
I
remembered.
I
thought
I
would
get
used
to
it,
but
I
didn’t.
Thankfully,
my
dear
husband
came
to
the
rescue.
He
had
been
researching
rings
for
me
for
quite
some
time
and
ended
up
talking
with
some
students
who
make
jewelry
at
the
Columbus
Cultural
Arts
Center,
and
they
all
raved
about
Gustavo
at
Beechwold
and
strongly
encouraged
my
husband
to
see
him.
After
a
preliminary
visit,
he
brought
me
to
the
shop
to
see
it
for
myself.
The
building
has
a
humble
appearance,
but
I
quickly
learned
once
again
that
you
cannot
judge
a
book
by
its
cover.
I
showed
Gustavo
the
ring
I
had
purchased
and
he
began
asking
me
questions
about
specific
parts
of
the
ring
I
liked
and
disliked,
and
what
I
truly
wanted
in
a
ring.
It
turns
out
I
wanted
nothing
like
what
I
had!
He
had
me
try
on
a
couple
different
rings
in
the
store
and
look
through
a
large
catalog
for
designs
I
liked.
Once
I
landed
on
one,
I
told
him
my
budget
and
he
said
he
would
find
me
diamonds
that
fit
my
price
range
and
that
once
he
had
them,
I
could
come
look
at
them
before
he
put
them
in
the
setting.
I
kid
you
not,
the
diamonds
he
found
were
immensely
brighter
and
better
looking
than
the
other
ring,
and
for
a
much
lower
cost!
I
couldn’t
believe
how
much
better
they
looked.
Once
I
picked
up
the
finished
product,
I
was
floored
–
it
was
exactly
what
I
wanted
and
just
stunning.
I
later
purchased
a
plain
platinum
band
to
match
the
engagement
ring,
which
he
graciously
tapered
for
me
at
no
extra
charge
to
match
the
other
ring
better.
I
know
I
am
only
recently
married,
but
I
can’t
help
staring
at
my
rings
all
the
time!
I
strongly
recommend
Gustavo
and
his
shop.
He
is
incredibly
personable
and
I
did
not
feel
pressured
in
the
least
to
buy
anything.
He
educates
his
customers
on
how
diamonds
are
graded
and
what
to
expect
with
different
types
of
metals
and
what
have
you,
which
made
me
feel
a
lot
more
knowledgeable
and
better
about
what
I
was
buying.
I
cannot
say
enough
good
things
about
my
experience
and
strongly
recommend
this
shop
to
anyone.
Thank
you,
Gustavo!
