When our dad asked us to help him purchase jewelry for our mom in honor of their 50th anniversary, the Shemano's were the perfect place to go. Ben and Kira were so patient and helped us decide between a bracelet, earrings or a ring and even hand picked the diamonds. We ended up with a beautiful five stone diamond ring that our mom absolutely loves!

I was referred to Ben through a co-worker and what a great experience! Ben helped me convert a family ring into a modern, beautiful necklace. I could not be happier with the product! He helped me evaluate the stone, create an updated design and was able to get it made in a short time frame. So happy with the result!

Ben has a deep knowledge of jewelry and watches. He is totally professional and discreet, and his studio is private, beautiful, and well-located. Ben and his wife Kira are great people and it is a pleasure to work with them!

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE my ring. I get numerous compliments daily on how stunning it is. Ben was also very flexible with our schedules and he was very prompt in all follow up from day one. I cannot say enough positive about the great experience we had with Ben. We will be back!

No intimidation, no pressure, a friendly guy and (let’s face it, this is the most important part when you’re purchasing things for others) great-looking jewelry. I’m glad Ben is now an independent business owner, and I was happy to work with him again in his new office.
