One of the most easiest people I’ve ever encountered was Patrick. He knows his work and is excellent at what he does. I loved my ring so much. I really appreciate his patience with me as well. I would recommend him to anyone.

Patrick is a truly gifted jeweler. His craftsmanship, professionalism, and creation skills on my father’s 50th anniversary piece was outstanding. Still in awe of the work a year later!

We went to Patrick to get an heirloom ring resized. It was thick with a dome shape and had to come down several sizes, and like others have said here, there is no way we can even tell! It's perfect.One thing that was very impressive was how he pointed out the prongs on the old ring were very worn down and should be enlarged. I had lost a stone years ago because of this and was so happy he pointed this out.In comparison to a garbage job I had had done many years ago the prongs look absolutely perfect and will keep my stone safe for many years to come...if we ever need work in the future we know where to go!!!Patrick is the difference between a regular ole jeweler and a craftsman. He is an expert and seems to continue to hone his craft and is extremely knowledgeable about gemstones and history.Thanks so much for making a very special piece even more special and for taking the time and trouble to find out about its history...you are a gem ?

We took a few family heirloom diamond rings to Patrick for appraisal and sizing. He did a preliminary check of them to see which was worth appraising, then gave us a reasonable quote to appraise three and size the 2 that I needed adjusted. He told us to expect them to be ready the following week. My husband surprised me on Saturday of that same week when he came home with them. They all fit perfectly and it made me very emotional to be able to wear them after all these years. Patrick did an amazing job and turned them around much faster than expected. I would not hesitate to use his services again and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services!

I took my grandmother’s 100 year old ring in to be repaired. I cannot say enough about the care and attention Patrick provided! He showed me the ring under magnification, explained in detail what he would do (and what could not be done in a handmade antique ring), and gave me options.The final result was amazing! He is an artist who clearly takes pride in his work and it shows!! We drive from Baltimore to have work done here because he is the most professional, honest, reasonable jeweler we’ve ever encountered.

I had a great experience working with Patrick at King's Contrivance Jewelers. I was looking for a resetting of a heirloom ring and he was able to put together a custom shank and prong based off my preferences from his catalog. He made sure that he delivered a quality ring that was sturdy and would stand the test of time at a reasonable cost. He is very frank about what kind of designs will last and what are more likely to break and was very detailed in answering all our questions. He was also very timely with everything and even got the ring back to me earlier than estimated. I was very satisfied working with him.

10/10 would recommend. I brought my fiancés wedding ring here to get resized. It was super quick and easy. I dropped it off on a Monday and by Friday I got a call that it was ready. We felt better getting it done locally vs sending it back to Brilliant Earth. We’re so glad we did, it looks perfect!

I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Jewelers for appraisals. Patrick was kind enough to appraise 2 rings for me today, on-the-spot, while tending to other customers. He provided excellent service for a fair cost and had great rapport. I will be returning next week to have another ring appraised by Patrick.

I came in with stones and an impossibly small eating to set them in. He did it in less than 24 hours when the usual time is a week! He was honest about the work and he tried, in spite of never having set stones in titanium, and he killed it! They look incredible! Thank you for your help!!!

I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Jewelers for any custom jewelry creation or jewelry repairs. Patrick is a true craftsman with a great knowledge and pride in his work. Working with him on my custom ring was a joy. He was easy to communicate with and shared progress images along the way. I couldn't be happier with the final product.

Kings Contrivance Jewelers is incredible. Patrick created an unmatched customer experience from start to finish of the engagement ring process. Patrick is highly transparent with his customers and wants what is best for them. He is all about quality assurance and reliability. Patrick created a custom engagement ring for me and my partner. Patrick also was fast-paced on locating a beautiful diamond for us. He made an amazing ring and shared updates throughout the duration of the build. I would highly recommend Patrick for engagement rings or any custom jewelry. Patrick is the owner, salesman, and jeweler. He does it all from beginning to end. If you want a durable and quality product, Patrick is your man!

I am so grateful to have found Patrick. I was searching for an appraiser for some of my heirlooms as a way to not only insure them, but to learn and understand more about the pieces. Some had 30 yr old appraisals and required updating. I went to Kings Contrivance based on reviews. I took several pieces to Patrick without an appointment and he took the time to review the pieces and suggest what should be appraised and not. He answered my questions, and I felt comfortable entrusting my sentimental pieces with him.When I returned to pick them up, Patrick had cleaned all of the pieces so well, they sparkled like new. I was shocked, impressed, and grateful. He took the time to go over the appraisals and his decision-making process. He showed me charts and images to help understand. I appreciate Patrick so much and will be returning to him for cleaning and repairs.
