Ahern & Brucker-customer testimonials

Carol and Bob,

We have the ring and it is incredible! Mike somehow managed to NOT open it until he got to my workplace (about a 40 mile drive, don't know how he did it!) so I got to see it first. Pictures don't do it justice and I don't have the words for it either. It suits him so well and he is so very proud of it and happy with it (me too!) I'm so glad we went with the 18K gold - there's such a depth to its glow. The workmanship is unbelievable - the emblem and rank are so detailed... okay, I'm out of words now. I just wanted to let you know we have it and we love it. I'm deeply grateful to have something so beautiful to give him for his birthday, something that is so perfect a representation of who he is.

and before I get all mushy....WOW!!!!

Thanks again and we'll be in touch.

Thanks for the link. I was tickled to death to see my ring on your web site. I love this ring more and more as I wear it. Everyone who has seen it, loves it. I have given your web address to a few people. I hope it gets you some business.. I do have a problem with the ring. It is turning my other fingers GREEN .............. with ....... ENVY !!!!!!!! I Thank you and Carol for this ring. It is Exactly what I wanted. It was a great pleasure to work with you two on this and Lila and myself truly appreciate your efforts. Thanks for everything, Mike

Hi Bob,

Well, I don't officially have the ring yet, but I did get a sneak peek at it. It is gorgeous!!!!! It is so beautiful! I love the wolves, the stone, and everything about it! The pictures weren't even close to how beautiful it really is! I am extremely happy! I'm not sure if I would have been better off waiting until the actual proposal to see the ring, because now I'm in twice as much suspense having actually gotten to see it and then having it taken away again. I did try it on, though, and it fits perfectly. I can't wait until I actually get it. I'm very excited! This is a truly special ring and I want to thank you and Carol again for everything. Carol is amazing! I'm really happy and will be even happier with the ring on my finger. You guys are wonderful!

Thanks!!!

I'd just like to thank you both very much for my ring which I unwrapped on Xmas day. I am extremely delighted with it and wear it everyday. It is exquisite and being one of a kind not only in New Zealand but the World makes it all the more special. Thank you for the excellent service and all your help over the past few months from conception to completion.

Hi there Bob and Carol, thank you again so much for
the ring, it is so beautiful. Well since valentines
fell on a Monday this year, and since me and Lydia
have such conflicting schedules, yesterday I decided
to take her to Sedona, so bright and early we left at
5am, and arrived there around 7am trying to be on time
for sunrise, well we have been having some rainy
weather the past couple days here, so we didn't get
much of a sunrise, but there we were with her holding
an umbrella and me knelling in the mud in the pouring
rain next to oak creek proposing to her. And she
excepted, woohoo, I was so happy, and nervous, all
rolled into one. The ring was a perfect fit, and she
absolutely loved it. So now comes the next part, the
wedding, but that will be awhile yet, thank God, one
step at a time. Thank you again for everything, I just
cant tell you enough. , thank you again so very much.

mind for down the line :-D

Bob & Carol,

Very good news. We have a "yes." After our run last night, I told Barbara to come over to my place (across the street). I waited for her outside her door. This corner happens to be where we had a first kiss. I gave a long speech. She was very happy and said yes. I didn't actually show her the ring until we were back inside, but of course she loves it. She can't stop looking at it...she thinks the whole beet thing was very daring, but she says it is exactly what she would want and really loves that we designed it with her in mind. This morning we had brilliant sun and so had the pleasure of seeing it in sunlight.

Dear Bob & Carol,

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for your help in making my dreams come true, I went to the FedEx office today morning and the man who working at the FedEx counter asked me for about US$300 just to release my package, they did not see what inside it because it�s already released from Riyadh City after they pay the custom duty, I said ok I will pay just please open the Package because I want to be sure that the ring inside it before I pay the money,

Then we opened the package at the FedEx counter I was absolutely impressed. It exceeded my highest expectations in every aspect, the only word which I hear from all the people at the FedEx counter is WOW! then I put it in my finger and it�s really exactly the size of my finger, then I found the CD inside the Box, and I told them that this CD contain photos of my ring design process, the man who working at the FedEx monitor asked me could I see this photos? I said sure you can then he run the CD at the same FedEx computer and just they was saying WOW at each photos, :)

Really I�m very happy that I got the ring and I did not lost it at the shipping process since it�s not 100% safe way and if any one from custom people hide the ring or replace it I will be in big problem with the FedEx People, then I pay the money and I was happy and I take my ring and set in my car for a good 10 minutes, I can't stop looking at it.

I want to thank you both so much for the beautiful ring that you created. I am very happy with the entire experience and the exquisite piece that you made - it is truly a piece of art.

Have a nice day �..

Trumpets should blare, but all I can do for the moment is to offer my deep gratitude for all the work that went into making both rings so beautiful, so right. More words to come

Hey Guys!
I just want to let you know that I'm looking down at
my new, beautiful ring as I type this message. It
arrived about an hour ago, and I can't take my eyes
off it! It is really magnificent. I love everything
about how it turned out, and I'm glad I decided to go
with the row of diamonds along the ivory....it looks
amazing in the light! I also love the wonderful color
of the 18k gold....it is just so bright and rich. The
detail work is wonderful. I love how every little
space is filled with leaves and beautiful shrooms. It
also just feels really good on my finger. It has such
a nice masculine weight. I just love it. Thank you
both so much for making this very special project come
to fruition. I can't wait for the next
project...

Dear Bob and Carol,

I received notice that my ring was ready for pickup at the post office. When I opened the box, an exquisite piece of workmanship lay before me. To say that it fits like a glove is an understatement; you could not have pinpointed my size any closer if I had been in your shop for fitment. You and Carol have turned my gemstones into a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sincerely,

Louis- San Antonio Tx

We received our rings Friday. They are so beautiful. The pictures didn't do
them justice! Don't get me wrong, the pictures showed us wonderful rings,
but they didn't compare to the ACTUAL rings when we opened the custom made
ring boxes. I still cry when I look at them. Thank you so much for your hard
work. These rings will be the the highlight of our wedding!

Hello Bob and Carol,

I just wanted to write and tell you what wonderful craftsmanship and artistry you guys created when you made these rings, we love them. The rings are ten times more beautiful in person then the pictures that we worked with. I was surprised and pleased by how heavy they are the amount of gold you used is much heavier then then any of the prefab rings that we looked at. You guys are great. Thank you so much.

I don�t think there is a finer ring anywhere. When he put it on, it fit perfectly, not only the sizing, but the ring itself to his personality. He was very happy.

Thanks again.

Carol and Bob,

Oh my but the ring is FABULOUS!!! I am speechless...

I hope you feel like you have truly outdone yourselves! It is so so so beautiful. I don't know if I will be able to keep it hidden until September when I have plans to give it to my husband. It is so amazing I want to run home and give it to him right now! But that wouldn't do it any justice! It needs to come out at a special time.

And the ring is made even more fabulous when accompanied with your outstanding customer service. It has been a joy to work with you and you treated me in a way that isn't found often in this busy, busy world.

Thank you so very much. It has been a pleasure.

Hey Bob,

Sorry it took a bit to get back with you. We received the ring yesterday, and I have to say that Kim and I were both speechless. Words cannot describe just how incredible this piece is, and you should both be proud of what you do. Both the design and craftsmanship are unmatched in our opinion. I don't think we could be happier with the end results. The portfolio pictures look great.

The ring was/is one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry we have ever seen. I will recommend you to anyone, and will be more than happy to be a reference for anyone. I didn't think or imagine it could be so detailed and meticulous. Thank you again. Michelle

Hello Bob & Carol,

He loves it! Thank you so much for your beautiful work and for doing
it so quickly. He was so thrilled and surprised.

I was waiting to write until the photographs have come in so I could
send you a picture of when he first saw the ring (when it was placed
on the minister's book). I've attached a couple of amateur photos, and
will send more when they arrive.

Thanks again,

I don�t think there is a finer ring anywhere. When he put it on, it fit perfectly, not only the sizing, but the ring itself to his personality. He was very happy.

Thanks again.

In the near future, I have some pieces with rather large stones that I want to remount. The stones are from Brazil, mid 1960s, aquamarines and topaz. As soon as I am ready, I�ll be back in touch.

My regards,

Bridget
