A great, great experience

by jmccc at Citysearch

Christopher came recommended to us by 2 different people. They did not steer us wrong. My fiance and I were both clueless about diamonds (and it was evident), but Christopher was patient and took the time to educate us both. We never felt that he was anything but honest. He's a great listener and just a great, great person. I didn't want a traditional engagement ring, just a nice diamond band. Christopher's design-- my ring-- is absolutely spectacular, and I get compliments on it all the time as it is very unique. Don is still with me all the time thanks to you, Christopher.

Fantastic Experience

by aandj727 at Citysearch

After my first discussion with Christopher, I knew I had come to the right place. We sat down and discussed exactly what I had in mind for an engagement ring. Christopher took the time to listen to my requests and sketched out a drawing that was unique and perfect for my fiance's personality.

I told Christopher my price range and he was able to make it work. I never felt pressured. Everyone at the store is very friendly and knowledgeable. They all take pride in what they do.

The ring is incredible and my fiance gets compliments from everyone! We are planning to design wedding bands and look forward to seeing what Christopher has to offer.

Completely Satisfied Customer

by TerryN326 at Citysearch

My partner and I had a fabulous experience with Christopher Duquet.

We wanted to design bands for our civil union, but had no idea where to start or what we wanted. We were shown many different options and educated about the benefits of certain styles. Villi took the time to make design suggestions that made the most of our budget. As the rings were being produced, we went back twice - once for a last fitting, and again to OK the final design before the diamonds were set. We really appreciated the attention to detail in every step. I love the fact that our rings aren’t machine made, but custom rings that are truly little pieces of art. We couldn’t be happier with the final result.

The store is airy, comfortable, and bright. The employees are super friendly and knowledgeable. Christopher Duquet is talented and creative… and no matter how busy Chris is, he makes time to get to know his customers. This means a lot to consumers who are investing in such a personal and important purchase.

Christopher Duquet offers a unique service and delivers exceptional quality. Thank you!

Christopher Duquet is amazing!

by nmucia at Citysearch

I am a graduate student that lives on a very modest budget. When I came in looking for an engagement ring for my now fiancee I thought that I was way out of my league. When I told the staff about my budget they said "No Problem" and proceeded to help me find what I (and my fiancee) think is the most beautiful ring.

I purchased a presentation ring to give my fiancee and then we both went back to custom design a ring for her. The staff was incredibly helpful in finding a diamond and sapphire side stones. They helped us design a custom setting to our specifications. What really struck me was how much they cared about what the ring looked like. They were not going to let us design a ring that was ugly and garish, but they also listened and did what we wanted at the same time. The result is a ring that all of us, myself, my fiancee and the staff at Christopher Duquet are all incredibly proud of.

We will definitely be going back to get our wedding bands and highly recommend Christopher Duquet to all our friends, family, and everyone else.
