Loved my ring buying experience. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and I even got a great deal. I was terrified when starting my search for an engagement ring but the staff at Cornelis put me at ease and assured me they will try to find me a ring that works within my budget and they have easy to understand and qualify for financing. I knew I wanted her ring to be unique and something she would love and her friends would appreciate. Well she said YES!! , and she loves the ring and is always getting compliments on it. I would recommend Cornelis Hollander Designs to anyone who wants a unique and special engagement ring.

My wife and I chose Cornelis Hollander after interviewing a couple of top custom jewelers. Walter was perfect for us. They have a portfolio of fabulous designs to start with. My wife Esther and I are both designers and wanted to create something unique to replace her current wedding ring. Walter worked together with Esther capturing her design ideas perfectly. He did 3D imaging first, then when details were worked out, he did a 3D printing of the ring to ensure everything is perfect before manufacturing it. We couldn’t be happier with the results! We wouldn’t go to anyone else and give them our highest recommendation!

I had an engagement ring made at Cornelis Hollander in March. It turned out more beautiful than I could’ve hoped for. Walter was very accommodating and helped me find the perfect one. He asked questions and really worked with me to find something within my price range. I proposed, and my now fiancé, absolutely loves her ring! Super grateful for Walter and his services. We will definitely be coming back to him for the wedding bands!

I first met Cornelis back in 2006 when I purchased a car from him. He was an absolute lunatic in all the best ways, and it showed in both his taste in cars and his stunningly unique jewelry designs. I loved that he stayed in touch with not only creating ultra high end custom pieces but also offering lines of unique, stunning, very affordable things as well.Since he passed away, his wife and son have been keeping things going, and Walter has done a great job filling in his father's shoes, keeping with the same principles of exceptional service that makes their business a no-brainer.I needed to buy an engagement ring about 6 years ago, when Cornelis was still with us, and he took my grandmother's old diamond and designed an absolutely stunning piece around it (pictured below). When it was unfortunately stolen, Jeweler's Mutual insurance paid completely for its replacement, and Walter's recreation of it was so perfect, down to his selection of the diamond, that I literally couldn't tell the difference if you put a gun to my head and a loupe in my hand, and the whole process couldn't have possibly been more hassle free (I don't even live in the state anymore, so everything done with the ring, from first purchase to replacement - was all done over the phone and email) I can't say what I paid, but let me just say that it was un-freaking-believably reasonable.Cornelis also took care of my family's request to have some custom pieces made in memorial of my grandparents. Both Cornelis and Walter have been so good to my family that as long as Walter keeps the business going, he will be getting every single jewelry job that I ever need. It was very sad when Cornelis passed - everyone wore orange on the day of his funeral - even me, who couldn't make it there - but Walter has truly filled his eccentric father's shoes and the business is as spectacular as it ever was.

The store is filled with extraordinary jewelry, all designed by Cornelis Hollander. His specialty is the unique selection of exquisite engagement rings. You will find that nothing is ordinary and no design is stationary. I was caught between different rings and Cornelis picked my brain until we came out with a design mixture that I can call my own. I love my one of a kind ring and am indebted to my new jewelers wonderful imagination!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs. My now husband and I found them while we were living in Arizona. As soon as we walked in the door for the first time, my husband knew immediately that he would be purchasing my engagement ring from there. I was so incredibly impressed with the uniqueness of each design and their willingness to customize each piece to make it that much more unique and special. I could not imagine having my engagement ring come from anywhere else, as it is truly one of a kind. Even though we live in Ohio now, my husband and I still look to Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs for all of our jewelry needs!

Okay, so I never should have looked at the ads, that would have saved me lots of money. But, I did, and then a detour had to occur so I could see the rings in person (we were in Sedona). First, I was in touch with Walter and later Tina from Hollander Jewelry. Tina was the person with whom I met after our correspondence. She was also the person who looked up all the prices of the rings that I had seen (in the ad) and lusted for (possibly) and then got back to me via emails prior to my visit. It was inevitable that I would find a ring that I wanted, the question was would I be willing to fork out the money. Well, I did. The ring arrived (Tina kept in touch, so I knew when to expect the ring), which was a good thing because my post office left it at my front door. I don't know what else could have been done because I was supposed to sign for the package, but that issue is "on" my post office, not the store. My ring is utterly lovely and I feel like a young lady who has to stare at her shiny glittery ring.

We were referred to Walter at Cornelis Hollander by a mutual friend to help with the design of an engagement ring. Walter was incredibly patient and kind while we sorted through tons of options and designs. He also helped us source a diamond within our budget that was at least half the price of what other jewelers were quoting. He ended up designing a custom ring that is absolutely perfect for me. I would definitely recommend Walter to anyone who is looking for custom or uniquely designed jewelry.

My wife couldn't be happier with her rings. She proudly wears them. The Hollanders not only make original designs that are amazing but they will work with you to design a one of a kind design to perfectly fit your vision just like they did for me. Thank you Cornelia for the memories that will last forever. Do yourself a favor and skip the mall jewelers and go to a true artist and designer. You won't regret it.

My boyfriend and I had gone to multiple retail locations to start the process of figuring out what we liked for engagement rings. At every storefront location, it seemed like the process was getting harder and much more stressful. The last stop was Cornelis Hollander. Walking in we knew immediately this experience was going to be different. Not only did it feel like the process of figuring out what we liked and wanted, we were confident in moving forward with custom engagement rings. We worked with Katie, who understood the initial overwhelm and was so helpful. With our experience, and the contrasting experience with other Jewlers, I’d highly recommend coming here. I’m also a vet, just returned home and the loud noises of big Jewlers/the flashy bs don’t help me when trying to stay focused, too many people creates a sense of anxiety. I can’t speak highly of this location and their team enough. It’s quiet, a one on one experience that feels like they have your best interest at heart. You can tell they love what they do.

I purchased a BEAUTIFUL wedding ring, a pair of diamond studs, and two high end watches from Cornelis. He had been my jeweler to go to because I TRUST him completely. Not only his designs are exquisite but his service is beyond satisfactory. I lost two small diamonds in the setting and Cornelis, not only replaced them at no cost, but he cleaned and polished the ring for me. I miss Cornelis but I have no doubt the team he left behind is doing an excellent job as the legend himself.

I have been using this jeweler for years and I love their original designs. Many are so simplistic that they yell classic and you know they will hold up over time. I have used their designs and I've had them make some of my own designs. Either way the pieces come out perfectly. I am often stopped and asked where I bought my jewelry and without a moment of hesitation, I recommend Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs. There aren't enough adjectives or enough stars to totally describe the wonderful experience that you will have in this store.

My husband went to Cornelius Hollander for a brand new wedding ring after our 12 yr wedding anniversary. Tina was his salesperson , even though the ring wasn't ready by the first date we were given , because Tina said the designer was a perfectionist. I was okay with waiting a little longer after 12 yrs . My husband designed the ring custom made just for me, so it was worth the wait. I am very pleased with the finished product! Thanks Tina! I look at my ring and smile everyday . I absolutely Love it!

I have been eyeing these designs for years, just waiting for the right time. When the time came I reached out on line and Tina was awesome from the start. She helped me through the process of narrowing things down then helped me step by step with all of the variables that come with an engagement ring. Once I was finally ready to come in person she met me there and guided me through all of the choices with good advice and TONS of patience. She made sure I was 100% confident in what I chose and assured me if there was anything that needed to be changed or adjusted she would have it done right away. Once I chose the right one she made sure it was ready for me ahead of schedule so I my proposal wasn't delayed. I would recommend them to anyone looking for jewelry. Their designs are one of a kind and so is their service.

My jewelry purchase and experience with Cornelis Hollander has been exceptional! The quality and uniqueness of the designer piece I selected as my wedding ring, continues to impress even after almost 20 years. I’ve never stopped attracting compliments on my ring, whether from close friends & family or from random moments in public (even while browsing at large chain jewelry stores). Cornelis Hollander staff has also provided the same excellence in customer service over the years with periodic maintenance, refinishing, resizing, etc. of my ring and by sending thoughtful communications of showcase events and new designs/products. Also worth mentioning is that everything this designer has done regarding my purchase involved secure handling , shipping, & insuring across the states, as I reside on the east coast and they are based out of AZ. High recommendation for anyone considering purchasing from this designer’s inspiring collection! My appreciation to the Cornelis Hollander team.

I had the pleasure of working with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I walked into their Scottsdale studio, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The team at Cornelis Hollander is incredibly skilled and passionate about their craft, which is evident in every piece they create. Walter was fantastic in helping me bring my vision to life. He was patient, attentive, and truly understood what I wanted. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and I couldn't be happier with the final product. It feels like a piece of art that I will cherish forever. What impressed me the most was the genuine care and attention to detail that went into my custom design. There's no high-pressure sales tactics here—just honest, hard work and a commitment to creating something beautiful. Whether you're local or visiting Scottsdale, Cornelis Hollander is definitely worth a stop. You’ll love the experience and the stunning jewelry they create.

I have a Cornelis Hollander wedding ring that I purchased elsewhere many years ago. I LOVE my ring. It is stunning and unique as are all of the Cornelis Hollander designs. Unfortunately, I developed a gold contact allergy and went into Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs to have it reset in platinum. I happened to run into Tina who helped me when I originally bought the ring. It was a wonderful gift to see her again and she was very understanding about my allergy and very helpful. ( I have gone to other jewelers who were not as understanding about my allergy regarding other pieces.) I haven't gotten the ring back yet but I can't wait! If you want a beautiful piece of jewelry from a great, helpful crew, look no further!

My now-fiancé and I recently had a custom engagement ring made at Cornelis Hollander, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! I sent an email inquiring about their services, and right away, Katie was extremely responsive and took the time to hear our vision for the piece. From the moment we first walked into the store, Katie was incredibly welcoming, and we knew we were in the right place—having previously visited other jewelers, this was the only one that truly felt like home. Katie took the time to understand our vision and offered valuable insights throughout the design process, all while working within our budget. The craftsmanship is outstanding—the ring is absolutely stunning and far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to create a unique piece that captures your love story. We will definitely be purchasing more pieces and can’t wait to work with them again in the near future!

My husband and I found this place after leaving another jeweler in tears. We wanted to encorporate my engagement ring with my two grandmothers' rings. The first jeweler we tried kept all three rings for 8 weeks only to give us an option for a completely new ring using NONE of the other rings we already had! So dumb! We drove by Cornelis Hollander and even though they were closing in 30 minutes, they took rings, listened to what I wanted and said they'd have a plan by the next morning. Not only did they send me a sketch of my ring, but they also did a 3-D mockup so I could see how it would look. They also had it completed in 8 days! I am so happy with my ring. They will be our jeweler for life! We were very sad to hear of Cornelis's passing, but know his son and the rest of the staff will easily continue the highest level of service and design. Thank you so much!!!

For my 20th anniversary my husband surprised me with a new diamond & researched who he thought would be the best jeweler to trust with the designing process from start to finish. Although the drive from Gilbert to Scottsdale was not ideal, Walter made sure it was worth it! He was very communicative & offered invaluable expertise & advice on the perfect design to complement my new diamond & celebrate our milestone anniversary. It turned out stunning & we couldn’t be more pleased with the end result. We also had him re make an anniversary band of mine that I just didn’t wear often enough because of the design. He definitely was able to really hear what I wanted & translate it into the perfect setting! Thank you to Walter & his team at Cornelis Hollander Designs!

I have been a customer for almost 20 years now. I traveled from Denver to Scottsadle to get an engagement ring created...for round 2 ; ) Cornelis designed my first tension set engagement ring that had my grandmother's diamond in it. So when it was time to re-design, knowing I wanted to use the same stone, there was no place else I was going to go. It was a pleasure to meet and work with Walter, and I was sorry to hear about the passing of his father. I brought my first ring that his dad designed with me, and I saw his eyes light up upon holding it. Once we knew I was going with another Hollander design, he asked to purchase it from me. That meant so much...as it was from another time in my life, but it held many great memories and I hope someone else enjoys wearing it as much as I did. And as for my NEW ring, it's AMAZING and I get so many compliments on it. I very much feel like part of the family at Hollander and would not go anywhere else for my jewelry needs. Although as Walter said, " I'm happy to make you anything you like, but no more engagement rings!"

I cannot speak highly enough about my/ our experience with Cornelius Hollander Designs and Walter Hollander, his Mom and the staff they employ. They designed the most delightful, beautiful and exquisite engagement ring and wedding ring for me which met my exact specifications and which exceeded my expectations. It’s truly a show stopper and a piece that I will cherish forever. Not only is it beautiful but it’s incredibly well designed. Walter and his team could not have been more accommodating and even more impressive is that they stand by their work. We absolutely highly recommend them and will definitely go back to them for future companion jewelry designs. Thank you to the staff and family at Cornelius Hollander Designs!

My husband first purchased my engagement ring here, then we went back to tell Cornelis how much I loved it! We went back again for our wedding bands and worked with Walter. The customer service here is the best! I was not sure what kind of band I wanted and Walter was very patient and made helpful suggestions of what they could do that was different than what was on display. We love our rings and I get compliments on mine all of the time!

Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs are absolutely a quality operation: honest, dependable, and gives you the straight story. In Scottsdale I would rate them number one to deal with. The jewelry we and family members have purchased from the store over the years has been a source of great pride and received many, many compliments. I would rate them 5 star plus and a pleasure to do business with. You can't go wrong using this company. Joyce and Steve Manes
