Dear
The
Internet
Jil
Maddin
at
Made
You
Look
is
the
greatest
thing
to
ever
happen
in
the
Jewelry
industry
AND
THAT'S
HOW
YOU
START
A
REVIEW
LETS
DO
THIS!!!
My
fiance
and
I
are
both
of
Indian
descent
and
have
some
gold
that
has
been
passed
down
through
our
family
but
not
in
a
'rich
people'
way,
in
a
sentimental
"small
necklaces
and
bangles,
passed
down
through
the
family"
sort
of
way.
My
goal
was
to
make
a
meaningful
and
creative
engagement
ring
by
melting
our
family
golds
together
a
la
Lord
of
the
Rings.
A
friend
of
mine
suggested
Made
You
Look
on
Queen
West
in
Toronto,
and
it
was
here
that
I
met
Lord
Jilian
"Sauron"
Maddin
who
was
destined
to
forge
my
one
ring
to
rule
them
all.
I've
literally
never
had
a
more
positive
experience
in
ANY
of
my
experiences
in
any
service
industry
and
I
am
NOT
overstating.
From
the
moment
we
met,
Jil
listened
to
every
word
of
my
ambitious
project
and
reciprocated
with
positive
and
professional
feedback.
She
was
patient
and
CRAZY
understanding
of
my
budget
which
could
only
be
described
as
"Sit
down,
be
Humble".
In
fact
Jil
and
I
energized
each
other!
The
whole
process
was
a
fun
back
and
forth
of
texts,
IG
tags,
design
refs,
gem
styles
and
obscure
references
for
palette
and
sparkle!
I'm
pretty
sure
at
one
point
I
tagged
her
in
a
Lady
Gaga
award
show
outfit
and
she
still
somehow
knew
what
I
meant
as
a
reference
(side
note:
the
ring
we
made
is
not
meat).
Jil's
knowledge
and
passion
for
her
work
is
completely
outstanding.
As
she
explained,
the
process
starts
with
selecting
stones.
We
both
allowed
this
to
take
the
time
that
it
needed.
Jil
is
well-versed,
connected
and
well-liked
in
her
community.
She
has
access
to
the
whole
country...
continent?
world?
's
pickings
of
stones.
She's
basically
Thanos.
She
would
say
to
me
"D,
I'm
going
to
Vermont
next
week,
might
come
back
with
a
delicious
chocolate
diamond
for
us,
stay
tuned".
Umm
okay,
easy
Lil'
Wayne.
But
it
was
worth
it.
And
forget
just
having
access
to
stones
-
we
synced
up
in
our
quest
for
the
right
ones.
I
simply
couldn't
pull
a
trigger
on
a
stone
until
I
could
tell
that
Jil
was
as
excited
to
make
the
ring
as
my
fiance
would
be
to
receive
it.
I
feel
like
this
is
a
good
time
to
sidebar
and
tell
you
that
if
you're
the
type
that
just
wants
to
walk
in
and
point
at
a
ring
and
then
buy
it
-
Jil's
selection
at
Made
You
Look
is
dope
for
that
too.
Okay
but
if
you
ARE
a
nerd
for
sentiment,
can
I
tell
you
about
"the
stories"?
I'm
a
filmmaker.
So
I
went
in
with
the
obscure
idea
of
telling
"3
stories"
on
the
ring.
No,
I'm
not
pretentious,
YOU'RE
pretentious.
The
idea
actually
came
from
seeing
Jil's
previous
work
at
Made
You
Look.
Her
unique
style
allows
for
3
'looks'
on
one
ring.
You
heard
me.
It's
insane
and
you
should
stop
reading
this
right
now
and
go
to
her
instagram
@maddinjewellery
and
look
at
all
of
them
and
then
never
come
back
to
reading
this
because
you
get
lost
scrolling
back
in
her
profile
forever.
No
one
will
judge
you.
Jil
took
my
vision
and
expressed
it
in
ring
form.
She
did
3
champagne
diamond
baguettes
on
one
side,
a
brilliant
white
sapphire
in
the
middle
and
a
chocolate
diamond
on
the
other
side,
book-ended
by
2
small
colourless
diamonds.
All
embedded
elegantly
into
2
golds
melted
together:
gold
from
my
mother,
and
gold
from
my
fiance's
mother.
She
even
sourced
the
best
Toronto
engraver
and
etched
a
design
in
the
band.
The
design
is
an
exact
replica
of
one
of
my
fiance's
grandmother's
bangles.
I
KNOW!
Kleenex
much?!
So
in
conclusion,
The
Internet...
Maybe
you're
googling
or
reading
reviews
because
there's
a
lovely
person
that
you
want
to
spend
the
rest
of
your
life
with.
And
you
want
to
show
them
that
by
giving
them
a
piece
of
jewelry
that
they'll
wear
forever.
F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
It's
literally
all
of
the
rest
of
the
time
you
and
this
person
will
have
together.
So
good
job
reading
up
on
where
to
get
a
ring
and
getting
this
far
in
my
review.
Start
forever
off
on
a
good
note.
Go
to
Made
You
Look
and
get
Jil
Maddin
to
write
the
"once
upon
a
time"
in
your
story.
