I'm extremely detail oriented and particular, and Ideal Cut is a hidden gem of quality + value. The shop itself is plain -- don't let that fool you. The handiwork is awesome and the prices are incredibly reasonable specifically because (1) genuine honesty, and (2) lack of insane real estate overhead and working capital that any other jeweler with a flashy showroom prices into the markups they pass onto customers. Mr. Tan spent hours with me while I showed him drawings and designs of the custom setting I wanted. He made multiple CAD adjustments as we sat side by side until I was 100% happy. Again, other jewelers have fine print and will charge you extra past the [second] modification or past the wax stage. I love my ring and felt I had an empathetic and creative partner in bringing it to life.

My dad brought it to me the weekend before Thanksgiving and we were on a mission to find a local jeweler to trust with resizing it. Rahul and Isabelle were patient and more than understanding when my dad wanted to do more research before leaving our special ring behind. Upon reading his other yelp reviews, and their professionalism when dealing with us the first time, we decided Atlantic Gems was the jeweler to trust. Even with the Thanksgiving holiday, I received the ring back in just a little over a week, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be back for all jewelry repair, resetting and resizing needs for years to come. Not only do I give them 5 stars, but so does my dad (a tough customer in Michigan)!

They were nice and helpful, he learned a lot and in the end felt good about his decisions. They were never pushy. They helped us find designs we liked and that messed well with our personalities and preferences. I hope they continue to exist for a long long time, after all we plan to get anniversary rings.

I figured since…read morethe link was so small maybe they just needed to charge a little more than other prices I have seen quoted for this place. When I came back to pick it up, the link they put in was not the same size as the other links on the necklace, which is noticeable because it sits on the front of my neck and also they didn't take out a small knot in the chain. I would've hoped for that price they could have done that. I asked the person checking out if they could try to do that and she couldn't figure it out. So now I'm out $30 with a mismatched necklace with a knot in it. They were done in about an hour.

He's restored my ring not once, but twice, and both times I walked away amazed and grateful. The first time, my ring ended up in the garbage disposal. I was devastated and convinced it was beyond saving. But, Benny brought it back to life, looking good as new (check out the photos)! More recently, I accidentally hit my ring, bending the head and damaging the prongs holding the stone. Once again, Benny worked his magic and returned it to its original beauty. His attention to detail, craftsmanship, and genuine kindness are unmatched. He takes the time to explain everything, makes sure the repair is flawless, and delivers outstanding customer service every time. If you need a jeweler you can trust to handle your most cherished pieces with care, go see Benny at Fast Fix!

The classes themselves are fantastic - you'll learn by doing, but also by watching an expert demonstrate for you, and getting as much help as you may need throughout. It's a good balance: you'll build your skill set and learn the practicalities of metalsmithing, but also learn to understand your own creative vision, which you can work on during open studio hours. The vibe is really chill (Dan plays great music!), all the teachers are kind and helpful and supportive, your fellow students are all interesting and fun, and overall this is the kind of space where you feel like you're able to make mistakes and still learn and grow from them. If you've ever wanted to learn the true craft of metalsmithing to make fine jewelry, this is the place to do it.

How do I give 6 stars? 7 stars? 100? Dan and JewelryClassDC deserve them, and more…read more I worked with Dan to make my engagement ring and it was an unforgettable experience. It can feel like a real leap of faith to do something so personal and important in such an unconventional way, and to put your trust in a stranger and in your own ability to learn something you have never even considered before--but I am so glad I took it. I have an experience I will remember for the rest of my life, my fiancée (she said yes of course!) has a beautiful, truly one-of-a-kind heirloom she adores and values beyond measure, and we have a story we will tell over and over again. She is already getting questions about where I found her ring, and her friends are already gushing about how amazed they are I made it. Honestly, I am amazed too. I wasn't sure I could make a ring that looked better than a beginner's craft project!--but that was before I met Dan. I had a personal design idea that not only do they not sell in stores, they don't even really sell jade cut how I needed. As far as I can tell, no one had done this before. Well, now someone has, it turned out incredible, and it's all because Dan made it possible. He went above and so far beyond. As a craftsman he is not just skilled, but meticulous, and determined to make sure every product he works on meets his high standard of excellence. As a teacher he is patient, knowledgeable, and eager to share and show what he knows--which is a lot.  And to top it all off, he is a real man of his word--exactly the kind of person you want to put your trust in when dealing with precious metals, stones, and memories. In short, they don't 'em like Dan anymore--that goes for his character, and his jewelry. If you need jewelry made, if you need jewelry worked on, if you need a guiding hand to make something yourself--do yourself a favor and see Dan and his team at JewelryClassDC.
