For Krista's Necklace With 2 PendantsMaria is a gem! She responded almost instantaneously to my inquiry, and finished the overall project within two days. I'm very happy with the final project - I wasn't even sure what I wanted but Maria was very helpful in helping me decide. She sent pictures of her progress so that I was part of the process every step of the way. I would definitely consider working with Maria in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking to work with someone who is creative, helpful, friendly and very professional. Thanks again Maria!

For Matt's CufflinksThe original cuff-links sent to me by Maria were not up to standard. For the price, I was amazed at the low quality of the cuff-links. Maria blamed the resolution of the picture used. The low-resolution definitely was not helpful for the quality of the cuff-links, but I trust the expert to tell me that the resolution is too low and not take my money and make the cuff-links anyway. After I expressed my displeasure at the craftsmanship of the cuff-links (words were hard to make out, the seal was not clear, overall poor quality), Maria messaged me to have me send the cuff-links back so she could re-do them. I appreciated this act by Maria. Maria accepted the cuff-links back and re-did them, mailing me the new pair. While the cuff-links were better than the first pair sent, I still did not believe they were worth $160. Again, I appreciated the communication and effort by Maria here. However, if the quality is not going to be top notch (or at least worth the $160), then the maker needs to state this and not accept doing the project. I ended up finding another person to make the cuff-links which I was extremely satisfied with.

For Necklace ProjectThe final outcome was exactly what i was looking for, and way better than i had expected! She understood my needs and requirements perfectly and even made some decisions based on her expertise that improved the result! I am very happy with my purchase and will definitely contact MarĂa Vernalis in further projects.
