The monogram pin was a big hit.  It was perfect.  Thank you for a good job! ... Again, thanks for the beautiful work on the pin.
--- Bill (12/26)
We received our pendants (all three) on Saturday.  We were a little worried because we had waited so late in the year to place the order and really didn't expect to receive them by the holiday.  When they arrived the day before Christmas Eve and we were so excited.  Our excitement was even greater when we saw them.  They are beautiful and exactly what we wanted. They will remain family keepsakes generation after generation, representing the love and commitment we share as a family.  My husband and I wear ours proudly and look forward to giving River, our son, his on his sixteenth birthday (15 years from now).  Thank you so much for not only your creativity but the care, concern and timely manner in which you took filling our order.  Bonnie and Bob are the greatest and a delight to speak with... totally awesome!  We recommend deSignet highly.  Again, thank you for making this Christmas one we will always remember.
--- Angela and Tim (12/25)
I received the ring yesterday (12/11) and it is absolutely beautiful.  My husband will be very surprised.  I appreciate the professionalism of your company.  So often when you buy something over the Internet you put your fate in someone else's hands.  Well, I certainly feel as if I have been well taken care of.  Thank you again very much.  I will certainly tell all of my friends about your wonderful product and service. Sincerely,
--- Tracey (12/12)
Just wanted to let you know I received the ring and cross and I love them both, thank you so much. Merry Christmas,
--- Jody (12/07)
... I just got the ring delivered.  I really looks great! You do such nice work.  I will keep you in mind for the future.
--- Matthew (12/07)
The ring was beautiful, so beautiful that we are going to get our wedding bands from you when the big day draws near.  The engagement ring (April) looked very nice on your website, but was absolutely stunning on her finger. Thank you for making us very happy, and giving me a way to express my love for the person who makes me a better person. Thank You.
--- Chris and Michelle (12/06)
Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding bands.  We got the Celtic Circle Knots back in October 1999 for our wedding October 16, 1999.  Not only did you make the rings of our dreams but you made them in a two rush for us.  Thanks, is not enough and we are so glad to see that your website and business is booming!!
--- Robert and Stephanie (12/04)
...I've got a new job for you. My fiancee' is going to order a wedding ring. We' d like a Triangle Knot band... By the way, thanks again for the super job your company did on the Dara engagement ring. My fiancee' loved it and thanks you as well. Take care.
---  Tom (12/02)

Thanks so much for your note! I received the ring this morning first thing and it is PERFECT! I am so excited to give this to my husband - it is exactly what he's been hoping for. Thanks so much again for your attention and to your designer who created it - we love it for years to come and look forward to doing business with you again! Happy Holidays and best regards!
--- Michelle(11/25)
I just recently made the proposal and the engagement ring that your company made for me was VERY beautiful. I just wanted to commend you for a very wonderful job. I will be purchasing the wedding rings to match the engagement ring very soon. I cannot express enough my appreciation. Thank-You,
--- Michael(11/16)
...Kiersten must have said "WOW" about a thousand times by now.  Usually it is uttered every time she looks at the ring.  Everyone who has seen the ring just loves it.  She even had one person look at it and say, "Holy Shit!  That is the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen!!" Thank you for all of your help.  You and Kim are truly wonderful! :-)
--- Mark(11/12)
...I recently purchased two Triangle Knot Wedding Bands from your company. My wife and I adore them and have received tons of compliments on them...And now I am looking to purchase an engagement setting from your company as well...
--- Robert(11/14)
Dear Robert, and everyone who worked on, answered the phone, or helped with my order in any way, I received my ring this week... THANK YOU!! My ring is beautiful beyond my expectations and I am completely satisfied! :)  I will show -- and tell -- everyone what a wonderful, professional, easy experience I have had with you. I look forward to remaining a loyal customer. Thanks again,
--- Jean (11/09)
 The ring is awesome... Elizabeth absolutely loves it, and I can't begin to tell you folks how pleased I am with how it turned out!  We'll be back later on in the year to have you folks do our wedding bands, but again, I just wanted to thank you for the incredible work and the best customer service have experienced in quite a while.... Once again, thanks for all your help and the wonderful work of art that now adorns my beloved's hand!
-- Tom (11/02)

October'00
Folks, Thank you so much for the outstanding product and service you provide.  I ordered one of your Celtic rings (Dara Knot Bands) two weeks before my wedding.  The salesman (Mr. Robert Rusch) said that I would receive it on the Saturday before the wedding.  As it turns out, I had the rings the Monday after I placed the order!  I also want  to tell you how beautiful the rings are.  They are perfect!!!  I would recommend your business to any of my friends. Thanks again,
--- Becky (10/25)
I would like to thank you and your sales department for the tremendous job you are doing making sure that I approve of everything every step of the way. I appreciate that you didn't just pick the most expensive stone and charge me, but instead gave me a choice. Rest assured that I will be recommending your services to anyone who inquires where I purchased this ring... Thank your again for your consideration. Sincerely,
--- Carol (10/20)
We received our rings last Saturday and I just wanted to let you know that we are extremely happy with the work. Our design was the Lindesfarne Reverse Etch on a custom graphic that we provided. Thank-You.
--- Jason (10/19)
We just received our rings in the mail and we are VERY pleased with them! I must say that I was a little skeptical about purchasing jewelry over the Internet, especially without ever seeing exactly what was purchasing. But the rings came out GREAT! Plus your prices are great!  Several hundreds less than somewhere else I had looked!  Thanks again for everything...
--- Kristen (10/17)
...Thank you for your effort to get my rings in time for the wedding... I am impressed with the service of your company and your personal concern for my mistake and despondency. You have won a customer and I certainly will return to you for more purchases in the future!.. 
--- James (10/10)
... I love the ring, it's heavy enough and the stone is beautiful!!  I have received quite a few compliments already!! Thank you so much!!
--- Kathleen (10/09)
...Thank you so much for your assistance.  My husband received his Claddagh Triangle Ring yesterday and he loves it!!!  It made a beautiful 12 year anniversary gift.  I chose the triangle knot claddagh because my husband and I have three children and I felt that each point of the triangle represented each child...and the way the triangles entwined reminded me of how our lives will always entwine with each other.... I had looked at many on-line stores and had approached many local jewelers to find something comparable and none could compare to your selection, quality and price.  The workmanship and quality is exceptional and I will make sure I recommend your company to many others. Again, thank you for making our day so special. Sincerely, 
--- Eve (10/05)

I just wanted to drop you guys a quick line to say how pleased both Helen and I are with the Custom Engagement ring that you made for us. Your work is top-notch, and the picture on your site really does not do the ring justice :)  We are very pleased, and if you ever need someone for a reference as to the quality of your work, please give them my email address and I'd be happy to speak with them.  Again, thank you very much!
--- Ryan, alienspawn@hotmail.com (09/26)
We just received our custom story rings today and words cannot express how happy we are with them. They are beautiful!!!!!! The staff at deSignet were are friendly and professional and I will recommend your business to anyone who wants beautiful custom made jewelry at the most reasonable prices I have seen anywhere. The delivery time was under what you had quoted and the quality and workmanship is outstanding. This is certainly a piece of jewelry that we will both wear proudly. Thank you one and all.
--- Danny and Rosemary (09/25)
... I would like you to know that I was impressed with the  wonderful selection of rings. I happed to be a bride on a very strict budget, and I found just  what I needed on your site.  I have to admit that I spent quite some time gazing at some of the beautiful custom work you have. When we decide to upgrade our rings, be sure we will definitely come to you !
--- Ann (09/24)
I received the rings today.  Wow!  That marquis engagement ring is stunning!  Good job.  Wedding rings too... Thanks again for great rings!  I will cherish them forever!...
--- James (09/18)
... The rings arrived yesterday and they are beautiful. The pictures on your web site do not do them justice. My Fiancee arrived from Ukraine 3 weeks ago and we had only discussed them by letter. She is absolutely awestruck with your work. Thanks again for doing exactly as you promised and delivering on time at less than your estimated price. I will recommend you highly to everyone who asks about our unique wedding rings. Thanks again. Sincerely,
--- Mark (09/15)
Just wanted to let you know that we are extremely pleased with our rings.  You got them sent out 3 weeks after I placed the order, even though they were custom bands.... I'm very impressed with your speed and service, and won't hesitate to refer you to others. Thanks,
--- Lyn (09/15)
I just received the Lindesfarne Knot bandYou guys are amazing!  I was completely surprised that it arrived so quickly, and very pleased with the workmanship.  It is beautiful and the engraving is just right.  Thank you so much.  Both the rings that we ordered from deSignet are wonderful and they will really add to the specialness of our wedding ceremony.  I recommend you to everybody! Sincerely,
--- Christa (09/14)
I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful job was done on our wedding bandsThey were absolutely beautiful!  And your personnel, Bob Rusch, was incredibly helpful and accommodating.  We ordered the celtic triangle knot done in platinum and made a mistake as to the width of the bands. Since I knew it was our mistake I didn't expect to get the rings in time for the wedding, but to my surprise they came the day before. I want to thank you for the excellent craftsmanship and customer service that your company provided. You made that day extra special because we got to have our "real" rings blessed and not the temporary ones. Thanks so much!!!
--- Kendra (09/14)
We received our rings today, thank you, they are beautiful. I appreciate the very timely fashion they were delivered in. I'll recommend you to anyone who is looking for wedding bands. Thanks again.            
---  Sue and Frank (09/13)
All I can say is WOW! I received the ring I ordered right on schedule as promised AND it was more beautiful than I even imagined. Thank you for all the help you gave me in picking out the band and the diamond for the Shannon River Knot engagement ring. I proposed to Shannon last weekend
and the ring was a huge surprise. Having a one of a kind ring to give to her means more to us than anything else. I have given out your web address to anyone who sees the ring and asks where we got it. I couldn't have asked for more from you and your staff. Thanks a million.

---  Don (09/12)
... the rings are perfect... we really appreciate everything you've done and if we ever need custom jewelry again will certainly come to you guys...
---  Julie and Patrick (09/13)
...Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your time and effort on my husband's wedding band it came out absolutely beautiful. Even better than had first envisioned. the quality is top-notch. Also thanks for getting it done so quickly. I really appreciate it.
--- Anna (09/11)
My husband and I just wanted to thank you for the beautifully made wedding bands!!!  They are more than we had hoped.. dreamed for!  We had been looking for months for rings that had the uniqueness that went along with our personalities when we found you!!  You and your staff did a beautiful job on the rings!!  Thank you for an important touch in our ceremony and our lives!! 
--- Christine and Edward (09/06)
My fiance got a promotion 2 weeks ago that involves us moving halfway across the country. We'd talked about this possibility, we just weren't expecting it to happen quite this fast! We are getting married today, 9/1/00, and I just got my rings from FedEx, on two days notice. They're wonderful, and all of the people at deSignet have been so incredibly helpful and nice, especially with such short notice. We got plain rings, and we'll be sending them back to be reworked into custom rings. Thank you so much!
--- Kathleen (09/02)

--- Aimee (08/28)
Thank you for your expeditious response to our order.  We received the rings yesterday, Thursday, August 24, 2000.  We are both extremely pleased with the quality of the rings as well. Again, we thank you very much and can, without reservation, recommend your service to anyone who may be interested in obtaining unique rings for special persons and/or occasions.

All we can say is "W O W ! ! "  Heather and I are completely happy with the beautiful wedding rings you and your fine staff produced for our most special of days ... you can be sure that any anniversary bands or other "special things" will only be entrusted to deSignet International!! Thank you so much!!
--- Heather and Angus (08/23)
Hi Guys!! After the phone call from Robert Monday I expected my wedding rings to ship today.  However, they arrived today.  I appreciate all the effort that went into the heads up email, I had requested.  But wanted to let you know that I have the rings in hand.  The are quite striking.  Looking forward to wearing them the rest of my life.
--- Bryan (08/22)
 I just wanted to say that we received our custom rings on Saturday and that we are VERY happy with them.  I can't say how impressed we are in how quickly they were done and how well they came out.  Our sincerest thanks for all that you've done and we would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for custom jewelry... Anyhow, we are very satisfied and wanted you all to know.  Thanks again.
---Patrick and Julie (08/21)
I recieved my camelot ring Saturday. And I love it! You guys were lifesavers. I looked in every jewelry store in my hometown and about 8 hours worth of online shopping. And you guys had some of the most beautiful rings ever. Thank you so much. My fiance loved it too which was the most important thing. Kind regards,
---
Tiffany (08/14)
We just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for getting our rings to us so fast.  They really came out great, better than in the picture that we saw.  Thanks again!!!
--- Dan and Kathy (08/06)
We received our Mohan Knot bands last week and just had to tell you how beautiful they are. We had looked for Celtic bands for several months before finding your site and could not believe the selection and craftmanship of your designs. We are very pleased with our bands and look forward to wearing them for many years to come.
--- Jeanelle & Paul (08/02)
Just wanted to give you a big thank you for rushing through my wedding ring before your summer holiday! I was wonderfully surprised when it arrived in time for our wedding. My new husband loves his ring! Thank you again and a big "thank you" to all of your craftsmen that made it possible!
--- Nora (08/01)

Just wanted to let you know the ring arrived today, and I'm very pleased with it.  I have one other Celtic knot ring, and yours is every bit as nice, and at half the price!  Thanks.  
---  Helen(07/27)
Hello from Australia!.. I have just spent an hour surfing the Net to find wedding rings for my partner and myself. Imagine my utter joy and delight in finding your brilliant, creative, wonderful and oh-so-perfect site.....there is so much to chose from! 
---  Marg (07/25)
A 6 months or so ago I purchased a couple of Celtic rings from you and my partner and I are very pleased with them. These are our engagement rings. We had already picked out a wedding ring design from a picture we cut out of a catalog.. I have attached a picture of the rings to this email. We are wondering if it would be possible for you to make a ring similar to the one in the picture.. Your work is beautiful - we get comments on our rings all of the time. Thank you !...
--- Mary (07/09)
I just wanted to thank you for my recent ring order. Even with the 20% rush service, your ring was still over $200 cheaper than my local jewelry store and they had no where near the selection you have. I am very happy with it and so is my fiance ! Thanks again.
--- Walt (07/03)

I recently purchased two antiqued polish eagle pendants on cable link chains from you.  I was very happy with them, and would like to order one more (pendant and chain)... Thanks for your help.
--- Jason (06/15)

Well, we are married and the rings you made for us are incredible. The personalized bands you created are exactly what we were looking for. Sterling's wedding band and engagement ring (The Bridget style with the Murphy knot) look like they were made for each other, just as you said they would. It is so refreshing to go somewhere to buy wedding rings and not have to purchase what they have in stock but instead have them create the rings you have dreamt of. Thanks again.

I just wanted to send this quick message to let you know that I've received the rings today (Celtic with the Freya's Aett), and they are absolutely gorgeous!  Thank you so much!!!
 --- Josee (05/18)
I just wanted to let you know how much I like the silver WWJD ring that I ordered from you! I found the price of this item to be very reasonable. And once I received the ring found the price and quality of workmanship to be outstanding!... I am very satisfied!...This is absolutely perfect !...I have never ordered anything over internet before, or anything what I have never seen in person for that matter....And I was really impressed with the wide variety of examples shown on your site...Thank you once again. I will be sure to mention your company to anybody who is looking for something special for a special occasion.
--- Gregory (05/13)
Thank you very much for your help. You've just made someone very happy !!

Just wanted to let you know I got my rings today, and they look beautiful and fit comfortably. Thanks! My fiance will be ordering his choice as soon as he figures out what size!
--- Joni (04/25)
We cannot begin to thank you enough for the incredible job you did on all the matching pieces we ordered. We received them on Thursday and as we opened box after box, our breath was just taken away. The wedding bands are even more beautiful then either of us could have imagined! The fit is perfect and my band, combined with the engagement ring you specially designed is absolutely stunning!! We were awe struck when we saw them together.   We also couldn't be happier with the matching earnings and tie bars... it was incredible to see these magnificent pieces after only having described to you over the phone what we wanted. We can hardly wait until we have the chance to give them to our parents... everyone at deSignet have helped to make our wedding one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Thank you again, for the wonderful, beautiful job you did.
--- Dianna & David (04/24)
Thank you so much for creating this ring - my fiance and I love it! It is everything we wanted and more!! It even looked so much better when it was completed than the design. It was wonderful to be able to design our own ring with features that have a very special meaning to us - thank you very much. We will treasure it for a lifetime... Many thanks again.
--- Sharon (04/19)
Rings were in hand on the 14th they are beautiful and you people are the greatest . Thank you very much.
--- Richard (04/14)
Vielen Dank für die keltischen Hochzeitsringe. Wir sind von den drei Ringen sehr begeistert und mit Ihrem Service sehr zufrieden.   Viele Grüße,
--- Uwe (04/10), Germany
I received my wedding pendant today and it is BEAUTIFUL! Everyone (especially me) loved it. I will order another one as soon as I have a little more money to spend. You did a wonderful job. Thanks so much.
--- Lacey (04/08)
My husband received his Lindesfarne Knot wedding band last week and it is really fabulous! He choose the two-tone with 14K center and white gold rails and it is even nicer than we had hoped. I did a lot of Internet research on celtic design rings and I found yours to be the best of the bunch. Even though we live in California, we planned a trip to upstate New York so that we could stop by to see you and we are very glad we did. You provided a superior, artistic product and were extremely friendly, professional and FAST. Thank you again!
--- Lee and Dan (04/03)

The ring I ordered looks absolutely terrific! The design is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!
--- Sarah (03/27)
Just wanted to let you know the ring arrived in perfect condition today - the little box is especially nice !  Thanks again for your fast service - unusual when you're having something made for you !
--- Helen (03/21)
A long overdue thank you for the wonderful custom-designed wedding band. My (new) husband got very misty-eyed over the design. I have recommend your site to anyone looking for custom jewelry. Everyone I show it to is amazed at the creative design, and that I found a reputable and conscientious jeweler on the Internet. Thanks again for a beautiful wedding band that is all I'd hoped for.
--- Martha (03/08)
Wow the rings are fabulous. They are as good as they looked, and the prices are so much better than everywhere else that I could find. My wife and I will be enjoying these till death do us part. Thanks.
--- Nat and Jill (03/05)
I wanted to let you know that the platinum rings arrived the other day and Kathy and I are extremely pleased with them. They are much nicer and more unusual than anything we have seen in local jewelry stores! Thanks for the great work!
--- Andrew (03/05)
We received our rings yesterday... Everyone agrees that... you have created an absolutely beautiful pair of rings. I found your web site by accident right before Valentine's Day and fell in love with the Claddagh rings in your selection --so romantic. I showed my husband as a not-too-subtle hint. He looked at all the other rings, concentrating on your Celtic wedding group, truly remarkable for a man who doesn't do jewelry. He even printed the ones he liked. He decided he wanted matching rings, (another surprise) but only one problem: he thought the Claddagh wasn't masculine enough for him....I told you my dilemma and YOU came to the rescue. You combined Chris's idea for a two-toned Celtic design band and my idea of the Claddagh with diamond to create our Lindesfarne knot w/Claddagh rings. I held my breath when I asked you how much for a custom design. I had never had anything made just for me before and I was sure it would be too expensive to consider. Surprisingly, your quote was very reasonable. The actual price was even less ): I could tell through your voice that you really liked the idea. That gave me an extra dose of confidence to go ahead and order the rings.  And to top it all off, we received the rings a week before the date of our 15th wedding anniversary: March 9th. Mine is on my finger right now. You have made our 15th anniversary very special....Thank you again. 
PS: having our rings on the web is a great way to show friends and family who live away. Thank you for making it possible for us to share them with others.

I just wanted to personally thank you for the great assistance you have given me. I have received the rings and they look wonderful. I appreciate everything you have done for. Thank You Very Much
--- Nick (02/25)
Thank you so much for the beautiful work you did on our rings. Both John and I were so pleased. I knew they would be amazing but didn't know how truly spectacular they would be once slipped onto our fingers! Bravo!.....Have a great day and Thank you again (although that doesn't seem to express
the depths of our gratitude!)

--- Tonya (02/24)
I'm so very pleased with how my claddagh ring came out! Considering I kind  of designed it in my mind with help from your wonderful pieces on the web, you put my thoughts together and created an heirloom for my daughters!! The workmanship is wonderful, the pricing just right and my desire for just the right ring complete. Thanks for your time and efforts!
--- Pam (02/22)
Thank you so much for everything. I love my ring it was well worth the wait. I get so many compliments about how beautiful it is. I had it appraised and the guy that did it said you guys should put your stamp on it because you do excellent work. Thanks again for everything. You will hear from us soon for wedding bands.
--- Dara & Larry (02/18)
We just received our rings. Wow!!!! They were fantastic and so reasonably priced. I already recommended you to friends who want to get a pair for their 15th anniversary. You guys did a great job!!!!
--- Chris (02/17)
We received the rings this past Saturday and we just love them. You guys did awesome work. They were everything we expected and more.... Thanks.
--- Quentin & Amy (02/14)
Thanks for your great, timely service! My wife and I got celtic style wedding rings this past May. And, even though I somehow ordered the wrong ring for her, it turned out that she really likes the one I got her anyway. So it was a happy ending. I really love your designs and it was fun ordering from you via the Web. And, your customer service was great. Thanks again.

Our rings have arrived and they are beautiful! You have made a really good job of them, we are both very pleased...THANK YOU !
--- Mark & Vicky ( 01/28)
Just had to let you know that the ring arrived today, and I am very impressed with the quality & workmanship. There are other web sites that offer claddagh rings, and I can tell you the prices are a lot higher, and I don't think they're as heavy as yours is. (I'm going to send you a picture of one from another web site in tomorrow's mail just so you can see how much better-looking and priced your product is. I'm glad I ordered from you rather than them!) Thank you again.
--- Helen (01/28)
...We received the rings on Friday. They are absolutely beautiful. We are very happy with them. Thank You.
--- Patty (01/24)
...Thanks for all the help I recieved with the purchase of a platinum Claddagh ring. I was very very pleased with the ring when it arrived- a week earlier than expected. It was beautiful. My girlfriend really loved it. It was for her twenty eighth birthday. Nice quality and excellent service. Thanks again.
--- Daniel (01/04/00)
I got my ring today!! We are so happy! Thank you!!!!
