The story of the design of Elizabeth's engagement ring:
We were referred to Lawrence by a good friend of mine. Both his wife and sister had their rings designed and made by Lawrence. I wanted Elizabeth to be an active participant in the design of the ring she would wear for the rest of her life, but I also wanted the engagement to be a surprise. I bought a "placeholder" band and used that when we got engaged on the beaches of Mexico. Then, as she wore the ring, we desired that we did not want to part with it. Instead, we decided to make the "placeholder" the wedding band and have Lawrence design the engagement ring to complete the set.
Before meeting Lawrence, we shared some emails including some pictures of us so that he could get a feel for our active lifestyle and create a ring that matched our personalities. I shared some rudimentary designs with Lawrence based on some early thoughts that Elizabeth and I had. Then we flew to San Diego to see Lawrence. He was the sweetest, most wonderful person we have met; honest and down to earth in a way that is hard to describe. He showed us a princess cut diamond, based on our early discussions, but also suggested that we consider a radiant cut. The radiant cut was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Then he shared with us some drawings that he had prepared. It was exactly what we had in mind. The wedding band fits inside the engagement ring to incorporate it and protect it. The ring was designed without diamonds on the outer ring, but with the capacity to add them as our lives grow together. We could not be happier with our rings!

Dear Lawrence:
After searching for jewelry here in San Diego and in other locations without being drawn by what we had seen, we were blessed to find you and become your clients for nearly 21 years now. We first met you when shopping for my sweetheart's wedding ring. We now know you as our friend and expert jeweler who have given us your friendship, expert advice and the finest and most expert custom jewelry either of us could have hoped to own.
Your designs have been uniquely tailored to our personalities, desires and budget. They've truly passed the test of time in their lasting designs and superb quality. We are constantly complimented by friends, acquaintances and others who cannot resist noticing the pieces we are privileged to wear.
As you and Esther know, you have given us our most precious jewel and that is your everlasting friendship. Thank you both for this gift.
Very Respectfully,
~ Jim and Paula Boyle

Lawrence is a true artist and professional at his craft. When my husband Anthony and I first met Lawrence we were welcomed into his workplace like a part of the family. It is apparent in all his projects that he truly loves what he does. We couldn't have been happier with the wedding bands Lawrence designed for us and can't imagine finding someone more talented, honest and loving as him. Lawrence not only made us something beautiful that both my husband and I can look at everyday and appreciate, but he gave us the knowledge and education we needed to make the best decisions when buying jewelry now and in the years to come. Lawrence Poon is a constant reminder to us of what it is to be passionate about one’s own work. We are forever grateful to have him in our lives. Thank you!

Lawrence is one of the most amazing people to work with. Not only is he a great jeweler and an amazing artist, he has become a great friend to my husband and I! He's in this business to make people happy and get the jewelry of their dreams! Everyday that we look at our wedding bands we thank our lucky stars that we met him. The custom engagement ring was made by another jeweler and even though we love the ring, we weren't completely satisfied with the quality. We didn't want to go back to them to have them make the custom wedding band and knew that we wanted to find someone else. Thanks to a fellow bride on Bridal Insider who gave me Lawrence's information, we set up a consultation with Lawrence and ended up with EXACTLY what we wanted as well as a lifelong friend! Thanks Lawrence, you are the BEST!

We got my engagement ring custom made at another jeweler, and was not impressed with the quality. I was sad, because I would need to get a wedding ring custom made to match and I did not want to go the same jeweler. Another bride on Bridal Insider gave me Lawrence Poon's number so I made an appointment. Lawrence was great! He spends so much time with you one on one, really understanding what you want in your jewelry! He also treats you like family. A lot of love goes into each piece he designs! The quality of my wedding ring was outstanding! The ring was solid platinum, unlike my engagement ring, and looked just as I had pictured it. We will continue to go to Lawrence in the future for all of our jewelry.
