“My wife waited 20 yrs for this ring so needless to say, I needed to nail this. I also wanted to surprise her, which means that Melissa had to spend hours gathering information from me and my wife’s friends, analyzing pictures in order to get a sense of my wife’s style, preferences and hand size. We went through multiple diamonds, rings and designs. Melissa completely nailed it. My wife is ecstatic with her ring; she loves her ring and is proud to show it at every opportunity. Thank you, Melissa, for making this happen!”

“Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with. From the moment I met her, I was confident I had found exactly what I was looking for. Someone who took the time to get to know me, my wife and what I was looking for. From concept to completion, Melissa made the experience next level. Whenever I need jewelry of any sort, I will exclusively seek out Melissa’s for her knowledge, help and guidance.”

“I don’t normally leave reviews but really need everyone to know how awesome my experience with West of Fourth / Melissa was!

This was my first time ordering custom pieces (wedding band for my fiancée and I) and she quite literally held our hands through the whole process.

It really felt like a collaboration and though I’ve not been able to debut my ring yet I just want to make sure I’m getting the word out there as this local Calgary business deserves every success!”
