Lake Oswego Jewelers goes far beyond the call of duty! My journey to finding just the right ring was fraught with challenges but Travis and Tia (owners) not only made it possible but helped to make it special. It all started when my fiance and I went to several jewelers to find out what she liked but couldn't find something that really called out to her. I, having zero experience in jewelry and living 2000 miles away, wasn't much help. Lake Oswego Jewelers was recommended to me by a friend that's from the area so I approached Travis (the owner) with a hodgepodge of ideas of what she liked and didn't. He said "no problem bud, we've got you taken care of." Over the next few weeks, he and I worked together over the phone and email to craft a custom ring that really captured the essence of who my fiance is and the love we share. That was the easy part. Many questions still remained.
The jewel of lake Oswego! We are using them to design a custom ring and they are going above and beyond in every way. They have guided us towards a the perfect ring.
Travis at Lake Oswego Jewelers was wonderful! He took my vision and designed the perfect ring. Travis is not only a talented jeweler, but such a pleasure to work with and so fair with pricing. Couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience & my gorgeous new ring!
The proposal went amazing! The ring sparkled like no other from the top of the mountain. It was classic, elegant, stunning and the diamond has lots of fire, just like my fiance. The only question now was how the hell was I going to get off the top of the mountain without killing myself. The answer, with a ski patrol escort and a incredibly surprised and elated fiance.
Lake Oswego Jewelers continues to impress! I decided to upgrade the diamond in my engagement ring to a larger stone and I had the pleasure of working with John in the process. Like the first time he helped me with my ring, John was incredibly helpful and patient. He spent tons of time helping me pick exactly the right diamond for me, and I am so thrilled with the final pick! They then redid my setting to accommodate the new diamond and it looks absolutely beautiful. Everyone in the store is always super nice and helpful, and most importantly they are fair and honest.
I drove from Austin to Seattle planning to spend the month of Dec and part of Jan in Seattle. On the way, I just "happened" to take a slight detour through Portland where Travis had the stones ready for me to see. After selecting the perfect stone I continued me journey. Step 1 was complete.
Fortunately for me, Travis made getting the ring much easier than me having to learn how to snowboard.
Being so far away (Texas), when would I be able to pick out a stone? When the ring was ready, how would I pick it up and then how would I get it back to Seattle (where my fiance lives) all without her finding out? So we hatched a plan.
Been a customer for a while now, the employees are always kind and very knowledgeable. You never feel like they are trying to force a sale on you which makes for a great buying atmosphere. Awesome place!
Thank you Lake Oswego Jewelers and Travis! You guys are amazing.
2. Receiving the finished ring from Travis without my fiance catching on
The plan was to propose on a surprise birthday trip to Bend OR on the top of MT Bachelor the first week of Jan. I had 2 big hurtles to over come.
1. Learning to snowboard and
Turns out Portland is a great halfway point between Seattle and Bend and a good place to grab some lunch. I kept Travis updated on our travel status and he met me at the restaurant. He even took pictures of us walking into the restaurant together so I could show her later. It was all a very 007 hush hush operation. While inside I sat us sitting towards the door where I could see when Travis arrived. Operation Put A Ring On It was in full swing. Travis arrived as a take-out customer and I excused myself to the bathroom. We thought we'd meet in there and he'd just pass it to me and we'd be on our way. What we didn't count on is that the restaurant only had a 1 person bathroom. So there we were, 2 guys in a 1 person bathroom exchanging a wedding ring. Nothing strange going on here at all! Fortunately for us she didn't see either of us walking out. Whew! That was close. On to Bend. Step 2 completed.
Step 2 was going to be a little more tricky.
