I love knowing exactly which stones my husband, I, and/or Nazreena picked out and how the rings and earrings were what I envisioned but could not find elsewhere or was previously told could not be made. I really appreciated even being able to change a ring after wearing it for a year and having time to think of the design for a matching ring. It was a really empowering experience to be able to design my own engagement, anniversary and wedding rings, and earrings based on my preferences in look and feel. and was so happy to visit them and be shown so many options and sizes to choose from! Even though I was not buying large stones, I was treated as if I were a VIP with lots of attention to detail, numerous meetings, and lots of back and forth on custom designs. So happy and thankful to have worked with Nazreena and her team to create my one of a kind rings and earrings! After searching everywhere for months for small peach oval sapphires to match a family heirloom diamond and being told they were not available, I found Starlanka Fine Gems, Inc.
