  Christopher--A Man of Integrity
  
  I recently inherited a diamond pendant necklace and diamond earrings. The earrings were appraised in 2008 for $1500. I wanted to upgrade the earrings and thought if I traded in the earrings I could use that money to purchase a larger diamond and combine it with the diamond in the pendant and I could have upgraded earrings.
  
  I took these items to a local jeweler who told me my diamond earrings were of very poor quality and that he would not be able to give me very much for them. This made me uncomfortable as I knew that to be untrue. He then told me that for $3800 he would sell me a new 0.70 ctw diamond that would match the diamond in my pendant and make my new earrings.
  
  I went to Christopher for a second opinion. He put each of my diamond earrings under a microscope which was reflected onto his computer screen to show me that my diamonds were actually of very nice quality now appraising for $4000! He then took the time to place a diamond of much lesser quality under his microscope so I could actually see the difference between these diamonds. Christopher educated me on the fact that you never get even close to full value when you trade in jewelry. He asked If I had thought of using the diamonds from my earrings to create a new custom piece of jewelry. I thought that was a great idea! He suggested purchasing a new diamond of same size and quality as my pendant to create my new earrings. Christopher charged me $2100, which was $1700 less than the other local jeweler, and I also got to see my new diamond under magnification on the computer screen.
  
  I was impressed by both the time and patience Christopher gave me. It is so refreshing in this day and age to have the opportunity to do business with such a fine, sincere and trustworthy young man as Christopher whom has so much integrity! Looking forward to bringing my original diamond studs in to have Christopher create something stunning for me. Thank you Christopher for saving me a bunch of money!! Kathy 2017
