I am the owner of Ari Diamonds, and I have been in our Portland location since 1993; I now have over 15 years of experience working with hand-made jewelry. My greatest joy is to see peoples' faces when they receive a piece of jewelry that has been made for them. My wife, Michele, and I have been working to make jewelry that you can love for the rest of your lives. When we finish the design work (CAD program) and you have approved it, we will then cut a model of your jewelry on a C&C milling machine (that is what I am doing in the picture). You will actually get to see a live 3-D model of you jewelry in wax with your diamonds in it. Changes may still be made at this point. After that we do our magic by working the metal, the diamonds, or precious stones till we have that piece of jewelry you desired.
