I found my beautiful wedding band with Shelter! We came in for their wedding wing appointment, and they helped us understand different styles and narrow down what we liked while taking notes for our reference. During this appointment, they pulled a wild card ring that ended up as a top contender. After that appointment, I looked up the designer and found that ring in a different color. I asked the store if they carried it, and Christina contacted the designer to send a sample ring to their store for me to try on. She was wonderful to work with and answered all my questions. I wouldn’t have been able to try on and find my dreamy wedding band without her help!

Definitely recommend Shelter for custom jewelry! I worked with Mallory to design my engagement ring. I had a very specific vision so I wanted to work with a jeweler who had a similar design sensibility to bring my idea to life. The process was smooth - good communication, clear pricing, and very reasonable turnaround times. There was one small element I wasn't happy with after delivery, and she was very understanding and took care of it quickly. The ring is now exactly what I had in mind, so that was very much appreciated!

We absolutely loved working with Mallory and the team. And you can count this as a double 5-star review because my fiancé loved his engagement ring so much he went and designed mine with Mallory, too! As an LGBTQ+ couple, it was also just so nice to feel safe and celebrated throughout the process of designing our rings. If you’re a local couple looking to design creative engagement rings with a knowledgeable, professional team for a reasonable price, check out Shelter. We really can’t recommend them enough. Pictured: my engagement ring with a London blue topaz and diamonds set in platinum; his engagement ring with an emerald and my mom’s heirloom engagement diamond (that Shelter took such great care of!)

We had a wonderful experience designing our engagement ring at Shelter with Magnolia. She was so easy to work with and very communicative. She was easily able to find me a portrait/rose cut diamond when other stores could not. Magnolia followed my design vision exactly and shepherded us through the process ahead of our (already short) schedule. Highly recommend Shelter and Magnolia!

Our experience with Shelter was excellent from start to finish. We worked with Magnolia to design a custom ring and she was helpful, communicative, and patient throughout the process. We always knew what the next steps were and what our timeline would be and there were no surprises, except for how beautifully the ring turned out. Every time we went in we felt special and welcomed - I can highly recommend Shelter for custom engagement rings.
