Donna Reis

Bench Jeweler, some sales at different times as needed, designer of pieces of jewelry that customers want, they want help deciding what they want to do with all the many pieces they do not wear anymore.I look at those pieces and find out what type of piece they want, bracelet and ring, pendant, earrings.When we establish the item that they prefer,I use my creative mind and make sketches of what I feel would be the best.I show the hand rendering and the customer decides if they like that or if it is enough or too much.Once I get the approval we begin the process of the new beautiful piece of jewelry that I have designed.

I also do repairs and wait on customers.Its all very satisfying to assist people and put their fears at rest of their concerns
