Literally Amazing *New* Customer Service, and their Jewelry is rad. Just look at it.
My partner and I had to put our aging cat down recently, and our dog is getting into his old age as well. To memorialize our awesome cat and prepare the same type of memorial for our dog (he's awesome too :)), we wanted bracelets that held personalized meaning to keep them close. On a whim, only having heard of them through a youtuber, Skallagrim, I did some more research and decided to toss my idea to them via their "contact us" box on their page. That has grown into design and pricing discussion over emails. Annie responds quickly, and from the start she was happy to work with me on the complexities of the designs I wanted. The memorial bracelets needed VKNG to create new bead designs with a hollow that can contain ashes. I thought we could work with a local jeweler to seal the hollows with epoxy or something, but instead VKNG created a deep and highly threaded, beautiful screw seal for both designs. Annie continued to go back and forth between their crafters, who make and fill their jewelry molds, and myself to orchestrate solutions to my unique goals. While I was pleased with the images of existing VKNG designs, my partner wanted to utilize kanji for one of the bracelets. This was obviously a whole new level of odd request, but I again said "What the hell. Why not ask?" Annie asked for examples, ran the idea past the craftspeople, and I now have those characters cast in a beautiful sterling silver.
*EDIT: This is no longer an early review. I have the products in hand.
I normally would avoid writing premature reviews, but it's just been incredible to be treated as a long-time valued customer by a company that I have paid *nothing* to so far. I just had an idea that meant a lot to me, and they're putting in time and effort, days of communication and coordination, to make it happen. I'm getting ahead of myself and assuming my design requests are even possible, but design is not what I'm discussing right now anyway. I was surprised that no one had written a TrustPilot review for them, so decided I could report what I've experienced so far.
*EDIT: This review has been updated.
I'll try to remember to update this review when we finish the process, but they definitely earned praise for their responses and willingness to invest so much time with a *potential* customer. I can't imagine how a long-term, repeat customer could be treated better by any company I've ever worked with, all before a single purchase.
TLDR; I'm impressed. Extremely impressed. They accommodated many, many unique requests that I didn't dare hope could be done.
I would have liked to attach images directly to the review, but I could not. If you're inclined, you might find the "gallery" of "postimg" labeled "fJqbMcQ" to contain 3 jpegs of both bracelets.
