Designing a custom piece is a personal experience. These notes are shared by clients who trusted West of Fourth to create meaningful jewellery for some of life’s most important moments.
“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!”
— H, Calgary
“I had a fantastic experience working with Melissa on creating a custom design ring. I came in with very little knowledge about jewelry design, but she walked me through every step of the design with patience, clear explanations, and, while educating me on the entire process, all while being completely transparent and excited to help me achieve the outcome I was looking for. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and turned my ideas into a piece even better than I ever imagined. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism were nothing short of outstanding. I couldn’t have been happier with the final result—she made it absolutely perfect. I highly recommend anyone looking for an exceptional jeweller, a truly personalized experience, and unparalleled quality.”

“My experience with West of Fourth was truly special. Melissa created a handmade ring for me using a diamond from my mother, and the care, intention, and artistry she put into it meant more than I can express. She didn’t just design a piece of jewelry she brought a memory to life.
— R, Calgary
“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Melissa quite recently and we were very impressed with her knowledge and expertise in the Diamond business. She took the time to educate and guide us through the complex world of gems and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend working with her.”
— Z, Calgary
“My husband had my engagement ring designed by this jeweller, and I am beyond thrilled with it. The whole process was thoughtful and personal. She worked with him to create a bespoke piece that suited both his budget and my lifestyle.
The craftsmanship is incredible, and every detail feels intentional and unique. I love that my ring is one of a kind, designed just for me, and made to be both beautiful and practical for everyday wear.
I get compliments on it constantly, and it’s so special knowing it was created with such care. If you’re looking for custom jewelry that is meaningful, well made, and tailored to you, I can’t recommend West Of Fourth enough!”
— M, Edmonton
“Enjoyed the design process and the results working with Melissa! Will be designing all of my pieces with her going forward. She was so knowledgeable in stone selection / diamond purchasing and designing for both look and function! (Securing the stones properly!!) She gave me lots of great ideas that helped me design several rings to look good together – including reworking existing pieces and designing a new 10 year anniversary wedding set. Can’t thank her enough, and look forward to seeing her on my regular cleaning visits!!”

“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!”
— M, Calgary
“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.”
— A, Calgary
“Great experience. Melissa took care of everything and was on the ball the whole time. Walked me through the whole process and even proposed some changes that turned out even better than my original idea. Would recommend without a doubt.”
— J, Calgary
“Mel goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect, and it shows in both her customer service and her creations. What sets her apart is not just her qualifications and knowledge of fine jewelry, but her ability to truly listen and transform an idea into a one-of-a-kind piece that feels personal and timeless.”
— G, Calgary
“Melissa redesigned our engagement ring with an upgraded stone and massive resize. She was incredibly collaborative, worked within our budget and offered great ideas that improved the look and stability of the ring. I am so glad we went with her, she’s our forever jeweler now!”
— C, Cranbrook
Every ring starts with a conversation. No commitment, no pressure — just thoughtful guidance from concept to final piece.
