For anybody that has a preconceived notion that custom is more expensive, Harold will prove that this is not the case. This last spring, I was browsing many of the local and national jewelry places, big and small. I was looking to make a mother's ring with princess (square cut) alexandrite and garnet. One bigger local store in Cedar Rapids said they didn't even think alexandrite came in pincess cut, and tried to sell us what they felt the could do (walked out of there noting even a quick net search proved them wrong). Plus, the prices was way more than I would have ever expected, noting real alexandrite is more expensive than diamonds, so they quoted me with immitation stones at a price that tolerable. I decided to wait. This fall, I noticed Harold's new store on 965 up from where I work (not the route i usually take home but did that day). I looked through his online site and thought it looked interesting. When I saw his shoping feature linking his site to his supplyers, that is what really intriged me. I went right to the select stones, picked princess cut alexandrite and like magic, a list appeared with prices. I saw that some were what was quoted per carat at the other places, market price. I noted a few stood out though as extremely cheap (about 80% discount) for real stones of the higher quality. Again, said it must be to good to be true. I did though decide to stop in and get the scoop from him in person. I arrived, and they were able to help me right away. Harold himself was there and brought up the site right there with meand was astonished himself. We both agreed to buy them and see what the deal was. They arrived and notign some slight differences in size, it was something we could work with. In the end over the course of a month, he ended up crafting 2 pieces of jewelry for me, with real stones, for just under the price quoted to me by a couple of the stores for a ring with imitation alexandrite. In the end, the ring probably worth at least twice what I actually payed for it since we got the great deal on the stones. If it would have been a big box store or even those other Local stores, I would bet i would have payed the retail price and not just cost plus labor as Harold does. Thus, my different route home brought me to the differnt way of thinking about jewelry. Check out his site, or stop into the store and go through it with him right there. He makes it easy to find the deal and then create the jewelry that I though was just a dream. Plus, they will make you a cup of coffee or tea while you work on your masterpiece.

Not only do they do great work, but they're highly ethical as well! I came in wanting my engagement ring resized, but I was informed that due to the type and placement of the side-stones that resizing would not be a good idea for it. They could have sold me other temporary fixes, but they did not want to go that route because I would not like the end result. They suggested that I talk to the company that made the ring, but due to time constraints I was unable to have it resized by the original artist. Instead of taking my money to do something I wouldn't be happy with long-term, I ended up leaving the store with ideas as to how to get my problem solved in a few other ways. Eventually I came back to get my wedding band resized and they did a wonderful job! That took care of the problem, so I did not need to get my engagement ring resized after all. The resized wedding band looks flawless! Plus, we got some desert breads from The Netherlands as a free gift. Can't beat that kind of service!

My husband bought me a mothers ring from Harold which he specially designed and hand made. Let's just say it was terrible! It was not polished at all and the stones were set all crooked. It looked like a person just learning to make jewelry made it and it looked as if it were rushed while being made. We went back to Harold to see if he could fix it and he was very rude about it and said, "there was nothing that he could do." He would not give us our money back either. We ended up taking the ring to another jeweler who said to us, "I would have never let this ring leave my store." The other jeweler ended up fixing the ring to where it was presentable, but we learned our lesson and will never EVER go to Harold again.
