Provided by YP.comAlthough I've considered posting reviews on Yelp before, I have never felt compelled to shout from the rooftops about how marvelous a buying experience was until now.
My fiance spotted Macchiarini's --a treasure of a shop in North Beach--while strolling down Grant Street. We had been on the hunt for a jewelry shop to custom make our wedding rings for quite some time. Macchiarini's turned out to be the perfect place.
We do not consider ourselves "modernists" but Dan, the owner of the shop and creator of a huge and impressive collection of modernist jewelry, didn't mind. He listened to our ideas about the kind of rings we wanted and worked with us until we had exactly what we wanted. He also gave us a great price (half of what another shop in NB wanted to charge us).
Not only are the rings gorgeous, but we also have a whole video and snapshots of our participation in the ring making process! Dan took us through the whole procedure--choosing the metals and stones, modifying the wax molds, "pouring" the rings, putting the melted metal in the centrifuge, buffing them out, EVERYTHING! There is no way we would have received this kind of unique experience anywhere else. How many couples can say that they poured their own wedding rings? And they were cast in the same mold, a nice symbol of our future together!
Dan seriously made this experience amazing. Five stars is not enough!
