Angelina
For Angelina's pendantI made a last minute effort to have a retirement gift made for a very good friend--I wanted her to have a keychain of her business's logo in silver. Maria contacted me, gave me pricing/material options, knowing that I had a budget and worked almost immediately to get the keychain made and shipped in time for the surprise party I'm throwing for my friend (in five days.) Maria communicated with me every step of the way and made me feel like she was just as invested in this project as I was. I'm absolutely thrilled!

For Cufflinks ProjectThis is the first time that I used the custom made website and it was a fantastic experience. The cuff links that Maria made are gorgeous and it was such an easy, simple experience. What a joy to support independent artists !
Marcus

Matt Carlton
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.
