The rings arrived Monday. They are beautiful. The blue diamond is stunning. Keep us in your prayers as we will keep you in
ours.

Good morning, Emelin~
July 11 is wonderful... sooner than we hoped for! Please send our sincere thanks to Da'oud for making this possible for us.
I have to tell you both again how happy we are to have found you! There is much to be said about feeling good, both in our hearts and our minds, to support a conscientious and talented artist at such a momentous time in our lives. We are grateful for our experience with you both... you are a pleasure to deal with and have made this venture fun and fulfilling.
Be well, and have a beautiful weekend, and safe travels to Colorado this summer!

Thank you so much for working as hard as you did to get my ring to me. It came in the morning of the banquet. I love it. It's so beautiful. It's the most exquisite ring I've ever seen! I do love the garnet. This ring will be treasured all my life and be passed down to my children. I will recomend your company to everyone. Thank you again.
Victoria Irby
P.S.
The theme of my banquet was medieval times. I won best costume. I blame that on the ring!
Hello!
I met you at the Ren Faire last saturday, and plan on attending again this comming saturday. We are interested in your "waves" wedding/engagement bands...they really fit our life and relationship! My fiancee' actually proposed to me that day after the Faire, and It was my birthday that day so It has to be "Extra" special. You also showed me a green neclace that matched my eye color Perfectly...almost exact!!!
Please let me know what we have to do in order to get the process going for our rings...Mine will be White gold Definatly, not sure about his.
Oh by the way our names are Jessica and Michael.
Thanks and I cant wait!!!
Sincerely, Jessica Santos
Dear Master Da'oud
My wife and my girlfriend were very pleased with their "wives" rings we purchased at the Arizona show last weekend. Our little daughter is named after the giant squid, and the winged squid pendants we all got symbolized our love for her and the blue blooded squids we admire.
We look forward to more squid orientated designs in the future. Your squid ring is intriguing, but we may get the three squids pin first. I'll just have to see what Santa brings me for Christmas.
Your loyal customers,
Clan Squid
Dear Da'oud
I love the sapphire and diamond set I just got from you at the Arizona Ren Fest, and it looks fine with the emerald ring set I got last year. I'm looking forward to getting a ruby set next year!
My daughter, the military policewoman in Colorado Springs, loves her iolite ring. She will be coming to visit you at the Colorado Ren Fest this summer. Your sales help guy Ryan mentioned needing some discipline, and she never leaves home without her handcuffs and wields a mean baton!
thanks again!

Da’oud -
I wanted to let you know that the Garnet Engagement ring & matching band arrived safely today.
They look wonderful - thank you so much for creating something so special for us.
I hope to see you when we visit the So Cal Renaissance Faire in April

Da'oud,
Thank you so much for welcoming us into your place yesterday. I was awed by the selection of rings. As I am sure you could tell, I wanted to take multiple rings home with me.
I am so excited about giving my fiance his ring on Christmas Eve. I am having a hard time waiting. He loves celtic bands and the one I purchased from you is the most beautiful I have seen.
I also love the oak leaf and acorn ring I chose for myself.
The kindness and conversation you provided added to the overall meaning of the rings for me. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Thanks again,
Good wishes,
Susan
Thank you Da'oud for doing such lovely work on my wedding rings and the new sapphire ring that I bought from you this year at the festival. They turned out perfectly and I am so happy to have them back on my hand again.

Hey Sera,
Just wanted to let you know that we received the Oak and Acorn Bands, and they are amazing! We are so happy with them, and cannot wait to begin wearing them. Thank you so much for your help, and thanks to Da'oud for the unbelievable craftsmanship and artistry. We couldn't be happier.
Amy
Dear Mr. Thompson,
I am the woman who bought the Imperial Topaz Celtic Knot Lite (style #6) ring at the Carolina Renaissance Festival--I'm writing to tell you how much I love this ring. This is a very special ring! It is not only beautifully made, but there is a unique quality to it that speaks to the care and love that went into its creation. I hope you opt to come back to the Carolina Renaissance Festival. And if you do, I hope that Ryan is still working with you--it was he who knew which of your pieces might speak to me, and he who encouraged me (gently--no hard sell!) to enjoy this ring and to make it part of my life.
All the best,

Dear Da'oud,
We did receive them and we are absolutely delighted with them! Thank you for checking. Our wedding is on Friday and we have added some of your description of the true lover's knot to the ceremony because it has a great deal of meaning for us.
Thank you for the wonderful rings and for the inspiration. We will recommend you gladly.

Dear Da'oud,
I received the ring you made for me (a double trillium gold ring with a
deep blue sapphire) last week, and it is quite beautiful. I didn't
mention
it when I ordered it, but it is a wedding band. My husband and I have
been married for 24 years, and we had decided that we wanted new wedding
rings.
He was easy, as he wanted a simple gold band which was not difficult to
find. Not being able to envision exactly what I wanted, I searched for
quite awhile until I happened to stumble onto your website and saw this
ring. It is truly perfect for me, and looks even lovelier on my finger
than
it did on your website. Quite delicate and stunning at the same time.
Thank
you for the care you put into designing and crafting it. I just love
it.
Heather Malinowski
Da'oud,
I received my acorn and oak leaf ring on Monday and it is beyond beautiful! It's exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for your time and effort to get the ring to me. It's hard to find someone these days that will take the time and love it takes to create a true heirloom. You are a true gem. ;) Thanks Again!
Stacy Glassburn
Da'oud,
Thank you for handling this order on a rush basis, and we are very anxious to try them on! I am very happy we chose you to make our rings, and have already received compliments from the design on the website! One of the reasons we chose you was that the symbolisn was included with each design, which made it even more fitting for our marriage! We love all of your jewelry, and I am sure I will be back!

Dear Da'oud,
We just wanted to send you a token of our gartitude. We just love our rings! Thank you for sending them here in time for the wedding. We are both grateful to have found you at the Renaisance Festival here in Colorado.
Blessings, Thomas and Shana Ebler
Dear Da'oud,
I would like to extend my many thanks for all you did
in helping my fiance (Nic Briseno) make last Saturday
night so perfect. Nic told me how you dropped
everything to make sure he could have the ring to
propose to me after the Marine Corps Ball. Him being
able to have that when he proposed really made the
whole thing just perfect for both of us. I know that
he greatly admires your work, as do I, and was
thrilled to be able to have one of your pieces as my
engagement ring & wedding ring. I also want to thank
you for your craftsmanship. My rings are beautiful, I
love the detail, the antiquing, and the style. It is
special for me to be able to have my promise ring, my
engagement ring, and my wedding ring all be made by
you. I'm going to tell you a secret... I tried on my
wedding ring to and now I can't wait to get married
because of how beautiful the combination of the
wedding ring and the engagement ring is. I have
already recieved many compliments on the uniqueness
and beauty of my ring, to which I gladly regale people
with the story of how it came to be, and your part in
my proposal story. Thank you so much for believing in
my sweet fiance's romantic notion and helping make
Saturday night one I won't ever forget.
Sincerely,
Tracy Tyler - the future wife of Nic Briseno (I just
love saying that) :)

By the way, I told you this when we talked this summer, but just yesterday I wore the opal ring you made that I got several years ago. Again, someone told me it was one of the most beautiful rings they had ever seen. I hear that
almost every time I wear it. It is an incredibly beautiful opal and the setting is just perfect for it. Thank you for making such beautiful jewelry. You are an exceptional artist.
Da'oud,
They look absolutely wonderful.
Most excellent work. I am so happy we choose you to make the rings. \\
Hope to see you in Minnesota this fall. Do you have a favorite kind of cookie?
Thanks again.
Janet Baker
Hi Da'oud~
My husband and I bought our wedding rings from you and we love them! We purchased my ring set at the Renaissance Fest in Minnesota and ordered his there. It arrived on time, just when you said it would. We were married on February 16th in Jamaica. I get constant compliments on my rings, people are awed!
Thanks so much
-Kathy Mellon
Da'oud--
I was hoping to talk with you this past Saturday at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. I was able to tell you that we LOVE our oak and acorn wedding bands while you reshaped my husband's band. I did not get to tell you how much they contributed to our wedding last October.
We picked the rings because we loved the design, then we found out the symbolism of the pattern. This made them even more fitting for our marriage! As plans progressed, the oak and acorn became the theme for the wedding.
Everything was so fitting for us as a couple-and it all began with the selection of the beautiful jewelry that you create.
Thank you so much for your contribution to our marriage---
We are ever grateful,
-- Vicki Thiry
Hello Da'oud,
I wanted to let you know that the ring arrived last Friday and Anthony is so happy to have it. It's beautiful, just like the one I bought from you 11 years ago in Minnesota. Anthony feels complete now that he has it, he had been walking around looking at his finger asking where his "precious" was. (a little Lord of the Rings reference there)
Thank you for your beautiful work and thank you for keeping up your web site so that I was able to find you :)
Kind regards,
Kristi
Daoud,
Our rings came in today, and after talking with you a couple days ago, they are absolutely beautiful. I'm still kinda crying, they are just gorgeous. I can't wait to show Kevin. Thank you, and hugs. We will send you pictures of the rings as well as the wedding. Thank you again so much.

Ah!! Received the lapis ring and it is so beautiful! Many thanks to you D'aoud...an elegant keepsake! So delicate and perfectly designed...a lasting and unique favored treasure! Please also thank Richard for picking out a truly lovely lapis stone! Thank You so very much!...Your artistry is so way beyond and reminisent of a different time/age! I love it! The ring feels very comfortable, familiar and fits perfectly, as if I'd been wearing it for years! Such a delightful artisan, thou art! Annie M.
Thank you for our wedding bands! Just a note, our daughter Danielle owns two of your rings, and my boss Tim Anderson ordered wedding bands from you last summer! Clearly your art is appreciated! Hope to see you this summer at the Renaissance Festival in Larkspur.
Stephanie Daigle
Hey Da'oud,
...I wanted to make sure that I thanked you for the rings and your craftmanship. We love them! When I received the package in the mail, I immediately put it in a Christmas gift bag and put it under the tree. I didn't even peek at them! My partner, Amy and I, opened them on Christmas Eve. She was surprised because I hadn't told her we had received them. On Christmas Day a really wierd thing happen, Amy's ring just disappeared. We frantically searched to
house over and over. Retraced her steps but could not find the ring. We were crushed. We continued to look for the ring off and on and had figured that we would just have to order another one. On New Year's Eve we were getting ready to go to some friends house for the evening. I had gone into the kitchen and Amy called me into the bedroom. I went into the bedroom and she was pointing to the bed and on the bed was her ring. Just laying there .. . . it was so bizarre! The only thing I can figure out is that I had done some laundry earlier that day and had put the laundry basket on the bed when I was sorting laundry. Somehow the ring must have been in with our clothes. Strange how the universe works! Thanks once again.
Take care,
Cindy Buck
Da'oud,
I want to thank you for making us the most beautiful rings. I wish you could have seem her face when she got the engagement ring. I love my band. Your work is a gift!
W.L.
David,
Thank you so much for hand crafting our rings for us. They are beautiful and the band fits the engagement ring perfectly!
Thanks so much!
Jaimie Burell
Hi,
It was great to see you at the Renaissance Faire in Escondido! I wanted to tell you that I love your rings so much, that I blow up pictures of them, paste them on my bedroom door, with big circles and arrows to indicate my favorite designs. I'm still waiting for my boyfriend to get a clue...
full of hope,
Samantha Fletcher
Greetings!!!!
You made my wedding ring set from aquamarines & peridiot in Oct & delivered them in time for Xmas 01. The name is Julia & John Herrera and we are sooooo sorry we didn't write back to inform you of how beautiful they are, with the antique look, and how very pleased we are with them.
I have received much notice of my rings, how unique, the beauty of the stones and setting, and I wear them with pride and keep them clean & polished so when i'm asked where i get them i can explain. You did an outstanding job with this set and though my husband & i can't make the faire this weekend, we'd appreciate it if you'd continue to keep us informed of your shows etc, so we can pass along our gem of a jeweler and artist. Thank you again for making me the loviest wedding set I could have wanted. Best Regards, Julia Herrera
I received the wide wave rings! The design was beautiful and the craftsmanship was excellent. My ring fit like a glove and I haven't taken it off since I got it. It feels like its part of my finger and I often forget that I have it on. I have received numerous compliments on it and of course I have passed along your name to interested individuals. Thank you so much for your fine work!
Yours Sincerely,
Kathleen Matthews
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful Celtic ring w/blue moonstone. It is just the right beautiful blue I was looking forward to.
Yours Sincerely,
Cindy Finwall
Dear Da'oud,
I'd like to receive your brochure of wedding rings. My father bought his wedding rings from you, and my sister in-law got her engagement ring from you. In that I've now met the woman of my dreams I wish to make your rings part of a family tradition. They are very happy with your work, and soon hope to join their ranks.
Thank you for your fine work,
Sincerely,
Michael Selvit
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for the prompt delivery of our wedding rings, and for taking time from your shows to do our rush order. They're beautiful, and better than I anticipated from your brochure. The workmanship is great, and we are well satisfied with rings we'll wear for all time.
Sincerely,
John and Emily Stone
Dear Da'oud,
We received our rings today, and they are just beautiful! They have a nice heft, and your craftsmanship is excellent. We love the antiquing, it contrasts so nice with the platinum. We will recommend your work to our friends Tom and Sally who are getting married next year. I wish you prosperity and recognition in the years to come.
Very Sincerely yours,
Tina Shaw and Michael Torreson
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! THE WHITE GOLD TREE OF LIVE WEDDING BAND MY FIANCE AND I ORDERED FOR HIM IN SEPTEMBER ARRIVED THIS PAST TUESDAY, AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL! I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT SERVICE AND I KNOW PATRICK WILL ENJOY WEARING THE RING!
SINCERELY,
Shannon Klages
Mr. Thompson:
The ring arrived in time, and is beautiful. Thanks. Nice job disguising the package, too. Very clever, and she didn't suspect a thing. Everything worked perfectly on New Year's Eve, and she absolutely LOVED the ring. We went to a party at a friend's building downtown, where we had a perfect view of the Space Needle here in Seattle. As the fireworks started to go off at midnight, I put the ring on her finger, she cried, and when the lights went back on, she got a good look at the ring, and was absolutely delighted. I have a feeling this ring will be passed down for many generations. Thanks for your help in making this come off so well.
Many Thanks,
Sean Spooner
