Yes they really do custom jewelry. The did a great job creating a ring for us.
Great pieces with expert craftsmanship. Repaired and upgraded a treasured family heirloom. A wonderful, local ‘gem’ with great people!
Drue was an absolute dream to work with! First of all, her and her staff are incredibly friendly, personable, non-pretentious and extremely knowledgeable about all things jewlery/gems/value. She was professional and up front and honest about pricing as well as the timeline and comparisons between different metals and gems. I had a specific design in mind and she perfectly molded my vision to the most realistic and gorgeous reality. She followed up when she said she would, and the ring was ready exactly within the timeframe she gave us. I would absolutely recommend Drue to anyone in the capital region and beyond to work with. She’s professional, friendly, punctual and insanely talented. I can’t stop staring at my ring even though it’s been 2 months since we got engaged!
Drue is attentive, knowledgeable and creative. I have purchased one of a kind pieces for myself and family. She is a great resource for upcycling/recreating jewelry from estates and out of date pieces.
After my partner proposed to me, I had to learn about engagement rings. I did my research and decided on the cut, color and clarity of the diamond I wanted. I also researched jewelry stores I wanted to check out.
The first store (a well-known chain) gave me a standoffish feel. The woman helping us, ordered diamonds for us to look at and told us to come back in a few days. When we left the store, I was not excited about going back.
We went to the next store, the one I really wanted to go to – Drue Sanders.
Drue Sanders on Western Ave, has been in business a long time. As soon as we walked in, Jada greeted us and directed us to the engagement rings. She was patient and polite, which put me at ease (I was flustered after leaving the last store). Drue (and her dog Shiner 😍) came out to greet us as well. I told her the diamond I wanted, but I wasn’t sure about the carat. She ordered a few diamonds for us to look at. She explained the value of each of the carat diamonds we were presented with and I appreciate her honesty. I am so happy we went to Drue’s. I couldn’t be more delighted with my beautiful ring – I never want to take it off! I’m looking forward to going back for our wedding bands. I will tell everyone in need of a jeweler - go to Drue!
Thank you Drue, Jada and the gentlemen working in the back! Your work is so very much appreciated!
