Uniquely Yours Custom Designed Jewelry

It’s been two years now since Gregory worked with me to design my wife’s wedding ring and we are still so happy. Seeing the other jewelry in the store, I know my budget was below what they’re used to working with, but everyone at the store welcomed me and was encouraging and excited about my ring and engagement. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had as a customer. My wife’s ring is truly unique and gets frequent compliments. And when we went back, Gregory helped find a wedding band for me of the same material.

I could not imagine a better jewelry store here in Linden hills. When you walk in they do not have very many piece of jewelry on hand, but the ones they do are perfect — so simple and elegant. They are known for custom work — making that special piece of jewelry just for you — and they do it time and time again — if you are ever looking for a place for amazing jewelry this is the place for you

Prepare to get exactly what you want (even if you can’t quite articulate what that is.) It was time to buy our engagement ring, but we weren’t seeing what I wanted. We liked one feature of a setting we saw, but it only had four prongs and the ring was square in cross-​section, not circular. Gregory worked with us to design the ring we wanted – including six prongs aligned so that we can see the culet of the diamond from the side. Perfect! Gregory also designed our weddings bands. My husband’s ring evolved from a general idea (silver band outside with blue interior) to become a palladium ring with platinum squares under a UV-​cured ceramic. Absolutely gorgeous. My wedding band is a partial eternity band with the exact same cross-​section as the enagement ring. I couldn’t be happier.
He also remade my mom’s engagement ring and wedding band: the twisted gold braids look stunning and are held together as if by magic. Don’t make the mistake we did and try the other places. If you know what you want (or even if you’re not exactly sure yet) and the other places don’t have it – go with Uniquely Yours. They’ll make your dreams come true.

Uniquely Yours lived up to its name and created a unique piece of jewelry just for me! I’m not an expert on jewelry, but the quality seems good and the price is reasonable. They’re friendly and go out of their way to listen to what you want and advise you what they think best suits your style and budget. Overall, I’m very happy with the experience –

I’m planning to «put a ring on it.» And by «it,» I mean my boo-​thang; however, I know as much about jewelry as I do about pop culture, which is barely anything at all. (I just learned who Katy Perry was and what she looked like, last month. I’m not sure why she’s a big deal. lol.)
The only facts I do know about jewelry is that in the 90s, Puffy and crew flashed platinum $ chains, and fellow Asian homeboys would up their thug-​life personas by rocked dangling jade Buddhas from their necks. Growing up with humble beginnings, my family could rarely afford jewelry (and if we did, it went to my ma). Besides, aside from that one Super Nintendo I got as a shorty, I always asked for food on my birthdays. It rotated from sushi to phở to dim sum, and then to sushi again. (There’s a reason that I’m chubby.) I would rather eat phở than gold necklace. All day, err day.
But now I’m grown. I love my girl. And, s*** is getting hella serious. I mean, damn, we’ve been together for four and half years, kick it 24/​7, and both take care of a dog. (If that’s not serious, I don’t know what is.) So, I’ve manned up and started looking for rings.
One Saturday morning, my girlfriend and I were buying pork soup bones next door at Clancey’s. Moments after we left, we noticed this little shop and decided to drop by to 1) learn about our actual ring sizes and 2) see what they were all about.
I forget the man’s name — since I put his card in my grocery bag and later accidentally recycled it – but he was real cool and non-​pretentious answering all of our questions and educating us on ring-​making process. He also had this keychain of rings (they kind of look like metal measuring cups, but with holes through them), which he used to help us figure out our sizes.
For couples looking to get hitched or wanting another ring, here’s some important info to know:
–85% of the stores rings are custom made.
–If you want a custom ring, you’ll have to pay a creative fee (negotiable), which was I believe is $ 850. I may be wrong about that price, so please correct me if I’m wrong.
–The starting price for a complete ring — including consultation — is around $ 2000.
–Prices vary, depending on the type of metals, jewels, etc…
–The store is not very big, so be careful to bring in bags of groceries (like me).
–Staff there are incredibly nice.
All-​in-​all, I’m still looking around the Twin Cities and online for a ring, but I would definitely return to Uniquely Yours to peruse their selection and consider one that’s custom. I mean, she’ll be wearing it for the rest of her life, right?

For my daughter’s 16^th birthday, we had a ring designed here using stones from various family rings. Jen worked with my daughter to get to know her taste and develop the design. The results was a one of a kind ring that is both unique and timeless. About 2 years after the ring was made, one of the stones fell out during my daughter’s shift at a local restaurant when she ran into a wall. Jen replaced the stone and repaired the ring to make it as good as new at no additional cost. Two years out, we continue to truly appreciate both this jewelry store and the ring.

Came here to get my ring custom made after having a not so great experience at another local small business. Can’t say enough about my experience so far. I’m very picky and as a customer can be a pain. But Gregory, Kelsey, and Jen have gone out of their way to create an AMAZING customer experience so far.
They seem to genuinely care and want to make you happy as a customer and provide the best service possible. They spent an hour with me to talk with me, ask me questions, and listen. Very welcome change from the other local small business I worked with.
My ring is part of the way through, but great experience so far. Will update once done.

I was blown away by my experience with Uniquely Yours! I designed an engagement ring to propose to my boyfriend so I already knew what I wanted the ring I was buying to look like.
Gregory was on the ball with communicating with me right from the start. His responses to my inquiries were timely and very thorough in laying out all the information I needed to know. He coached me through my options — talking about the metals I could use and how the design I created (which was extremely intricate) could be best executed, and so on.
I was given a quote on the price of the ring early on, and, to my happy surprise, it was right within my budget of $ 2000 or less. I was a little worried when Gregory told me that a CAD would not work for my design, as it had too many small details, but then he told me that I did have other options for having the design done, and talked me through what each one entailed. I made my choice and within weeks the ring was ready! Bonus: it ended up being a couple hundred dollars less than I was initially quoted!
When I first saw the ring I was completely astonished!!! The craftsmanship was beyond amazing! It honestly turned out way better than I’d expected. There wasn’t a single, small detail that was missed. I proposed to my boyfriend last night after we finished watching one of his favorite episodes of Doctor Who, and it fit perfectly. He was very impressed with the intricacy and attention to detail in the design, and says it’s very comfortable on his hand.
I am thrilled that I found UY and cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Gregory is very creative. He’s very friendly & makes you feel confident you’re in the right place. I’ve worked with him a couple times & it was always a joy.

I haven’t purchased anything here, but I just have to share my wonderful experience consulting with Soren, one of the two jewelers.
My man and I just got engaged and he proposed with my great grandmother’s ring. His idea was that we would have a new custom ring made using gold from his family and the diamond from mine, which would make it extra special since it would reflect both our families and us.
After consulting the Unilocal,we checked out Uniquely Yours first.
We popped in unannounced and both Soren and the woman working in more of a retail/​business capacity were so helpful. Soren seemed genuinely interested in chatting with us and finding out what kind of style of ring I like. He spent a good 20 minutes with us just answering all our questions about the process, different karats of gold, etc. They do the design, setting and finishing right at the Linden Hills studio, but all the casting is contracted out.
Since we would’ve been bringing in all our own materials, we just couldn’t digest the design-​only prices here and decided to go with another local designer who is a bit more affordable. However, I have no doubt that Soren would’ve designed a gorgeous ring and made the experience a very special one!

If you are interested in having custom jewelery made. Uniquely Yours is fantastic. I had a general idea for the engagement ring I wanted but I couldn’t find anything like it. I showed some rough sketches and photos to Gregory and he had a wax model made within a few weeks. My fiancée absolutely loves the ring!
It was also my first time having any jewelry made (or even buying jewelry) and Gregory made the experience comfortable and enjoyable.

My fiancé custom designed my engagement ring with Gregory in January 2011, but he didn’t use the ring until August. Two weeks later we ran in to Gregory while walking our puppy around Lake of the Isles. Gregory remembered Barry and immediately asked about the ring! It was really exciting for me to meet the person who made my ring and to tell him how much it meant to me.
As for the ring itself, it is beautiful. Both myself and my fiancé are in the world of product design and we wanted something unique and fairly non traditional. Greg was able to perfectly capture Barry’s aesthetic in the ring and even brought multiple sets of diamonds for him to evaluate before he had to choose one. We haven’t started shopping for wedding bands yet but I bet this will be one of our first stops when we do.
