I would have liked to check ALL the boxes! I am so very happy with the whole experience with John. I was very nervous at the start being how I sent my heirloom jewelry to him. I will forever be grateful for his patience and kindness to me and of course these precious rings he made for me and making my vision for them beyond my imagination! THANK YOU!!!

I can not say enough about John at Althea Designs. I have 13 grandchildren and wanted a birthday present that I would remember and maybe pass down. John saw my vision and made me a beautiful bracelet. He was very easy to work with, very professional and so kind. I’m recommending him to all my friends. He’s a jeweler and an artist. So grateful I found him. Now today I found out I’m getting another grandchild so I’ll be back. So grateful I found him. Thank you John for everything.

Patty, Thank you so much for choosing to work with me. It’s been a pleasure and happy to keep adding grandchildren’s birthstones to your bracelet. Keep’m coming :). Best wishes John

I had no idea where to turn, or with whom to consult, to re-imagine a white gold, double-banded diamond wedding enhancer into something new. At first, I chose Alithea Design because of their numerous positive ratings and "hires", but when I began the process with John, I knew I made the right choice. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable of his craft, he explains the entire process step-by-step. After some collaboration, he provided computer-generated images that served to visualize the finished piece. In just over two weeks, he transformed the original piece into a platinum diamond eternity band stunner that exceeded my expectations. I was so pleased with the entire process, his responsiveness, and his absolute professionalism, that I plan to consult with him on appraisals of my vintage and heirloom pieces and other redesigns.

Stunning pieces of jewelry!!! I got two but put one in already so no pictures! These are hinged on one side so no more body jewelry tools to put them in or take them out. Solid 14k gold so also very sturdy. Thank you, John. Well worth the wait!
