Regular Guy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,315 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2004	Look further down the page. Lmurden would recommend Quest Manufacturing in VA, and I'll support that. A bit odd of a place (kind of more a manufacturing facility than a jewler...but I could be wrong, and their marketing and front office, such as it is, will present as a jewler), but recommended by Martin Fuller, Appraiser....and I felt they knew what they were doing with my piece. Affordable, too.

bvt Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 3/29/2005 Member Since: 2/5/2005	A friend of mine went to In House Jewelers in Jacksonville, MD on a referral to have a custom wedding band made. Referrers and referrees were very happy. They seem to do a lot of custom work for locals as well as DC/Baltimore-area customers. We stopped in to see what they had - small shop, very friendly and involved. Unfortunately I don't have pics, but I am interested to see if anyone does have pics of work from other DC-area jewelers.

Logan Sapphire Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,130 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/5/2003	I totally third or fourth Quest too! They're great and very reasonable. They just made me a beautiful pair of martini studs, and they did an awesome job restoring my grandmother's plat/diamond ring. I actually have an appt with them on Sat! ------------------------------ Changed my name from mmeowcollins to Logan Sapphire.

bvt Rough Rock Total Posts: 7 Last Post: 3/29/2005 Member Since: 2/5/2005	OK, I used to live in Old Town but I'm not sure I know where Quest is, but then again, I wasn't really looking. I will have to check them out too. Edited a minute later: Oh. No wonder I haven't seen them. Will still find them and check them out.

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	I also recommend Quest. They are working on a little something for me right now. Easy to talk to, quality workmanship, competative prices. Their office is definitely not a jewelry store, but since their specialty is manufacturing, it makes perfect sense to me.

sparkling Rough Rock Total Posts: 45 Last Post: 4/9/2005 Member Since: 1/11/2005	So DF went to Quest last week. He was so cute telling me about it while not telling me about it. We played twenty questions-will it have more than 2 side stones? No. So its a three stone? Yes... He discussed what he wanted (similar to Noobie's ring but with the center raised a bit and sides 25% of the size of the center so it will pop) and a shared prong eternity band w/ 2 point stones as a wedding band made at the same time and made so it will be flush with the E-ring (they're giving him a discount for doing both at once). Now my only problem is guilt. He said the budget pretty much went out the window. But he saw their work and they spent alot of time with him. He really liked them. It should be ready on tax day. Hopefully we won't have to hock the ring to pay our taxes!! Thanks for the recommendations. I'll post pics when we get it.

DiamondLil Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,405 Last Post: 6/1/2006 Member Since: 6/8/2003	I'm so glad it worked out for you, Sparling. The brothers at Quest are down to earth and easy to talk to. I hope to be posting my own little bauble soon as well. DiamondLil DiamondLil ________________ "Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs."

stonedtodeath Rough Rock Total Posts: 16 Last Post: 4/8/2005 Member Since: 3/29/2005	I have met with the Quest guys in my "quest" (yeah, funny, eh?). They are very nice, and I would have confidence in their craftsmanship. I have not commissioned work from them (yet), so I can't speak to that end of it, but as far as first impressions go, they seem like a good choice.
