Thanks again and take care.

Our experience with Jose Rodriguez and Queen Emerald was one of complete satisfaction and we would do business with them in the future. When we spoke with Jose, his experience and knowledge made us realize right away we made the right choice in a company to make the emerald ring we desired. All through the process Jose remained in contact with us making us feel very confident the ring would be what we expected. Many thanks to all who took part in this beautiful ring. The ring was shipped promptly, which made our anniversary celebration that much more special.

I wanted to thank you for your professional delivery and follow through.  It is always a bit uneasy ordering through the internet, especially for larger financial exchanges, and you handled each step in a way that made me feel more comfortable and confident things were being taken care of. I would have no problem recommending your services and thank for the ring, it was very well received.
