David Truong “our unofficial resident Jeweler “does it again!! **Update**
David The package arrived yesterday from your shop in California. I trusted you with creating an unusual pendant for my wife of 52 Christmas years . Using a small group of diamonds from a different setting, adding some matching emeralds. He from a picture created a “Memory”. Because it will be passed down. I shared a pic with my oldest daughter and she’s over the top on how it looks from a pic. We are both very excited to see Mom’s face at Christmas. It’s been a few years since I have given jewelry. Hey it’s been 52 years! I do love the DNA spiral look!
Thanks David, as always you have been above and beyond!
Peace and love this Christmas season to you and yours. Jim(-;
Ps: Checks in the mail And I appreciate the amount.
David, sorry it’s been this long to give this update. To say my wife was surprised and delighted would be a vast understatement. She and both of my two girls loved and raved about it. The youngest one is looking for a quality jeweler to do some custom work for herself . She checked the pendant out and was very impressed with your work, from the way the emeralds size was perfect to showcase the diamonds and she just loved the overall look. The wife is loving the look and appreciates the no sharp edges to snag on clothes. David everything could not have turned out better. Im sure you will be hearing from myself or my youngest in the not so distant future. Thank you Sir for your honesty and trust in a fellow unseen member of this society called the SIGforum . You are appreciated!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Fla. Jim,

I’ll leave that to David. I don’t want to slander his fine work with my poor iPhone pics.

I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who is best to leave the photog work to others.
I’m also glad to hear that David is still doing awesome work!

The way you described it, how about some jewelry pRon pics for us to enjoy?
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Agree in spades. He personally helped me last week on a transaction of quite substantial value.
I wish nothing but great blessings on David and his family and his work team.

David I was somewhat apprehensive in doing this long distance but. But your reputation here as a stand up guy for these many years and glowing reports of your abilities won out over a local shop.
Thanks again David ! It’s twice as pretty in person. You did a great job and created exactly or actually a better creation than I imagined. Thank you again. Im sure we will probably be doing this dance again in the forceable future .
Ps the addition of the cleaning solution has her guessing what’s in the big box!!

Beautiful jewellery. Your bride will love it.
I see you’re in White City, I’m just over near Milton. Did you feel the space-x re-entry sonic boom today ? Around 12:45pm it felt like something hit my house and folks around the panhandle and Alabama felt it.

Yes David is very good about the particulars of a project. And EL TORO I live 60 miles north of west palm on the east coast. And no I didn’t hear or feel anything. We usually see them going up as we are down range of most launches from the cape.

I shipped my wife's wedding ring to Dave for repair & addition. Definitely an extremely stressful thing, since the center stone belonged to my grandmother's mother. I knew it was in good hands once there. It was thr in transit part that had me nervous.
