  We had a phenomenal experience with JR Hofstetter! Long story short, based on my style preferences my fiance was unable to propose with an engagement ring out of fear that we could not re-size it (he used a place-holder instead). I wanted a modern tension setting with a non-traditional stone (basically not a diamond). We were very surprised at how difficult that was to find! We tried to work with local jewelers and jewelers online, and we were told that they would not work with us, quoted a price that we thought was unreasonable, or were "stone shamed" for not wanting a diamond engagement ring. Eventually someone recommended JR Hofstetter to us, and we decided to drive out and give it a shot. That wound up being the best decision! The staff was friendly and informative, and the jeweler was very straight-forward and willing to work with us (included the loose stone we had procured before we found him). There was no "stone shaming", and he gave great suggestions such as creating a faux tension setting to increase the strength of the ring. After two weeks the ring was ready, and exactly what we wanted! The price was very reasonable, especially for a custom piece and a matching wedding band. Overall, the outcome of a very long and very frustrating 5 month process ended with a wonderful experience that had us smiling. I recommend this jeweler without reservation!
