“The Customer Service And Craftsmanship Are Top Notch”

When I first went looking for custom engagement rings, I didn’t know where to start. I had gotten pictures of a few rings from my fiance’s sister, and some advice, but I didn’t know the first thing about jewelry shopping. Lucky for me, I’d met Vanessa previously, so I figured I’d give her a call to see if she could help out.
Vanessa was fantastic! She gave me a crash course on how to evaluate diamonds, met with me several times to answer questions, and put together a great 3D preview of the prospective ring design for me to check out before she began work. In the end, I got a custom, one of a kind ring that was perfect for my fiancé. She absolutely loves it, and I don’t think any other ring would have been as good. The customer service and craftsmanship are top notch, and I highly recommend Vanessa Nicole Jewels to anyone who needs an engagement ring.

“I think Vanessa is an angel from above! She and my fiance designed my engagement ring, and I sincerely could not be happier. My ring is perfectly me; I could not have done any better.I would recommend Vanessa to anyone! I was blessed to meet her when I got the ring re-sized. She is super helpful, knowledgeable, and a joy to encounter.”
- Alicia Rasmussen, August 2010
I emailed [Vanessa] and got a phone call right away. And I gotta say, even after just talking to her, I felt comfortable and you could really tell in her voice that she loves what she does. When I went to pick it up, I’m not a big jewelry guy, but I gotta tell you, I couldn’t stop staring at this ring. It was perfect for Julie.

“I’ve wanted to change my diamond and princess cut stones from a yellow gold to a white gold setting for many years. Vanessa made my wish come true! Her design was beautiful. She emailed me lots to keep me updated on what she was doing. Her customer service is one of her unique talents along with her wonderful qualities as a designer. I’m so proud to show off my new ring. I’m sorry I waited so long! Thank you Vanessa”

“The end product is perfect. We got the rings and can’t stop trying them on. We’ll be wearing them for the rest of our lives, and I couldn’t be happier that we chose Vanessa Nicole Jewels to help us create them. One day, my fiancé was emailing with Vanessa about shipping options and exclaimed– “Why can’t all wedding vendors be like Vanessa?!” That sums up how appreciative we are of Vanessa, her professionalism, her honesty, and her quality.”
-Lauren & Mike Bergeron, July 2011

“Wow! Vanessa is awesome! I had done a TON of research, been into all the stores, spoke with stores around the country, but couldn’t find the perfect ring. After the first meeting with Vanessa, I knew it would be a good fit. If you’re looking for stellar service and truly custom work, you MUST have a conversation with Vanessa. She will make everything perfect and your bride extremely happy!”

“Vanessa poured everything she had into making our ring and until this day, my fiancé is always asked where this perfect ring comes from.”
When I felt it was time to start searching for rings, I did the usual rounds with my mom, of course. We visited Tiffany, DeBeers, Cartier and several high end stores. Many of them had gorgeous rings, but they were either far over priced, or not “exactly” what I wanted. A friend of mine had suggested contacting Vanessa so I called and made an appointment. Just from our first phone call I knew that I was going to get the ring from her. Her craftsmanship, etiquette, patience, flexibility and natural warmth made buying the ring such a joyous process.

“Why Can’t All Wedding Vendors Be Like Vanessa?!”
My fiance proposed to me in December 2009. By the time our wedding year rolled around in January 2011, we still hadn’t found exactly what we wanted for our wedding bands. (I tried big box stores, Tiffany’s, high end retailers, antique jewelry shops, and more.) Enter Vanessa Nicole Jewels. One day, my fiance was emailing with Vanessa about shipping options and exclaimed– “Why can’t all wedding vendors be like Vanessa?!” That sums up how appreciative we are of Vanessa, her professionalism, her honesty, and her quality. She genuinely cares about her customers.
-Lauren Bergeron
“Vanessa Made Us Feel Like Family!”
As soon as Rob (my fiancé) and I walked in the door, Vanessa made us feel like family! My ring is absolutely stunning and I can’t even imagine what a different experience this entire process (let alone ring) would have been if we had gone to a name-brand jewelry store. I think there’s something really special about wearing a ring you built together and I’ll cherish that memory forever! Working with Vanessa was such a treat! Thank you Vanessa!!

– Have you ever walked into a jewelry store and felt as if you were “being sold to”?

Whether you’re a man preparing to propose, or a woman who wants to be involved in the process, your experience with Vanessa Nicole is GUARANTEED to be like no other.


Why Choose Custom Made?
Most of the engagement rings sold in America are made overseas. The reason is simple: design and production costs are lower overseas than in the U.S. Thousands of identical rings are produced on assembly lines staffed by subsistence wage workers. There is certainly value in overseas manufacturing, but not when it comes to engagement rings.
At Vanessa Nicole Jewels, we don’t carry an inventory of rings that were made months or years ago. Each ring is created one at a time, just for you.
If this important symbol is meant to signify the commitment to your future together, why not make it more than just a “buying process”? Take it from a woman: She’s been thinking about this moment her whole life. Show her you’ve put thought into making this a ‘Yes!!!!!” moment.
At Vanessa Nicole Jewels, your experience goes BEYOND custom engagement rings.
