Testimonials from Our Customers

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my ring!!! My husband brought down the ring to Florida and gave it to me at dinner – very special. Tammy created the most perfect Regemeration for me! I really love having the gold from my original band on the new ring so I feel like I still have my keepsake. I'm so glad you invited us into the gallery. It's an adventure and a memory I will have forever. Everyone notices my ring and comments on its beauty.

  • I love my new Custom ring! I am astounded by the difference in the look. The main diamond (a Marquis cut) was turned sideways and a ring of diamonds now surrounds it. It looks like it went from one to two carats. I have had compliments galore. I could not be more pleased. Thanks to Takohl for taking my allergic-causing platinum ring and turning it into something I can wear and enjoy.
