Several months ago, my life partner of 27 years passed away, and I was wanting to combine my ring with her rings in remembrance of her. I talked with several jewelers, but Walter was the only one that could offer me a solution for that. He put together an amazing ring, using her diamonds and the white gold from our rings. It has been a very emotional couple of months and it means a lot to me to have this ring in honor of her. Thank you so much Walter.

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 love using Cornelis Hollander for all my jewelry needs. Everything I’ve had done is custom, but their catalogue is so unique. Walter asked great questions to draw up mock-ups of what I was looking for. Then, he adjusted the models with my feedback and crafted some beautiful pieces. This is a diligent family owned business that matches larger companies in their quality materials and prices, but they have such a unique style. I love telling my friends about this place - I get so many compliments on my jewelry I have to tell them where it is from. Favorite piece is a ring that Walter drew up a model of from a family heirloom. I had lost one of the two pearl earrings, and Walter made the one I had left into a beautiful ring. Love that it is repurposed and keeps meaning but is now a unique style that gets tons of compliments.

Our first experience with Cornelis was in 2002 when my husband Peter surprised me with a beautiful ring. It was the classic white gold ring where the diamond sets on top of a heart shaped trio of diamonds, the most unique ring I had ever seen. I still love it today! That was the start of our experience with Cornelis and his outstanding designs. Over the next several years, we made it a point to drop in and see the new designs and Peter thoroughly enjoyed talking with Cornelis about anything and everything. And I had the opportunity to buy more jewelry! Peter came home from a fishing trip in Tahiti with a very large black pearl and he just knew that Cornelis was the person to design the perfect ring to best display this magnificent large pearl. I even had Cornelis design a pair of very unique drop earrings made from both yellow and white gold that I had designed in my head and he created them for me exactly as I had pictured. I continue to get so many compliments on them. I never shopped for jewelry anywhere else. Of course it was the beautiful and contemporary designs but Cornelis added that extra special touch with his casual, easy going personality that we liked so much. We have been retired for the last few years so unfortunately not able to buy more jewelry. We do think of Cornelis and of course reminded of him every time I wear one of his designs. He was special and is missed. Sue & Peter

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!

Highly Recommend! I purchased my husbands ring after searching for months. I wanted to find something unique but nothing stood out enough until I found Cornelis Hollander in Old Town Scottsdale. We looked at all of the rings in his showroom and asked him to modify/customize one his own designs for us. On one occasion my husband had accidentally banged his ring on a door handle so hard that a few stones were knocked out and when we took it in for repair, they were replaced and the ring made to look new again at no cost to us. Flash forward a few more years when my husband's ring was lost. He loved the design so much that we had it replaced with exactly the same design, only changing the metal from 18k gold to Cobalt. We have been very pleased with their level of customer service and would highly recommend Cornelis Hollander if you want something unique, substantial and modern. It has been almost 14 years since our original purchase and probably about 10 since we replaced. Though we haven't taken it in for polishing in years, it still looks great!

Outstanding customer service. I had a very special case, where my beautiful ring of over 23 years got stolen during a summer vacation. This ring was a gift from my dear mother in law. I was able to track and contact the designers, which are Cornelis Hollander. The care and personalized service I received was like no other. They provided me with a detailed document that described the specifications of the ring precisely to present it to my insurance company. It is not easy to provide specifications of a ring that was purchased over 23 years ago. But with patience and their expertise, they were able to do so. This was a very emotional matter to me, Walter and Christa and their whole team were empathetic and very supportive. I can't wait to work with them, hopefully soon, to design a replica of my ring to honor my mother in law. Thank you Cornelis Hollander and the whole team, you have set the bar very high !

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!

I had been looking for a custom engagement ring that felt different from the usual designs, and I liked that Cornelis Hollander offered a more personal design process. During the consultation, I was able to explain what I had in mind and see how the idea could come together. The team was patient and easy to talk to, and I never felt rushed into making a decision. I especially liked being involved in the design instead of simply choosing something from a display case. The finished ring felt much more personal because of that experience.

The team at Cornelis Hollander are exceptional but most importantly provide a personalized experience. My husband and I came in with an engagement ring but were looking for a custom designed wedding band. Walter worked very closely with us, listened, and designed a beautiful and unique band that incorporated all our wishes. The result was stunning and better than we thought possible. His expertise made it a wonderful experience. Highly recommend Cornelis Hollander for any jewelry needs.

I have followed Cornelis Hollander's jewelry designs for years and have continued to be amazed with everything he makes. When my husband and I visited his store in August 2011, I was told to pick out my favorite engagement rings so that I could later be surprised. The shock was bigger than I expected when he popped the question because a new custom ring had been made that combined all of my favorite design elements. Thank you so much Cornelis!

I researched several jewelers in town before choosing CH to design my 20th anniversary diamond ring. I had been saving ideas for over 2 years. I knew I liked specific design elements from several different rings, but I didn't know how they could all possibly come together. CH had tons of designs that were along the same idea that I was looking for- modern but still looks like an actual engagement ring, and of course unique! We sat down with Walter and went over all of my ideas and pictures I had saved over 2 years. He is a true artist! He took his time and came up with several different designs incorporating all of the details I was looking for. I kept changing little things during the design process, but he remained totally calm and understanding- and kept his sense of humor during the entire process! It took a couple month to complete because I kept changing things, but the final ring is exactly everything that I wanted!!! We were so happy with the process and the end result that I had him make my mother's engagement ring into a pendant a couple weeks later! We will definitely be using him for all of our jewelry needs going forward. We just can't recommend him enough!!

I have been going to Cornelis Hollander for the past 20 years. I have had the pleasure of working with Cornelis and now his son Walter and their great staff. I am currently working on my 6th piece of jewelry from them. The compliments I get on my jewelry says it all! They work with you and help you get exactly what you want! Their quality and designs are hands down the best. I will never go anywhere else! You will not be disappointed!

Cornelis Hollander created and absolutely beautiful engagement ring based on my exact specifications. I had issues with other designers but as soon as I got in touch with CH, they assured me they can handle the job and get it done in time. Tina helped me so much and I can't thank her enough for guiding me through the entire process. Put your trust in Cornelis Hollander. You'll be extremely happy with the end result.

What a wonderful experience we had with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry! We had inherited some jewelry and wanted to have 3 separate pieces made from the many stones. Tina was wonderful, listening to our ideas and providing us options for our different price ranges. We were very impressed with her knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. Walter then designed and created our beautiful pieces with exceptional quality and workmanship! We could not be happier with our designs and the exceptional customer service we received. With genuine appreciation of their designs, integrity and pleasantness, we highly recommend Cornelis Hollander Jewelry!

I have been a customer of Cornelius Hollander Design for at least 20 years. They are ethical and have nothing but the highest integrity. I have many beautiful pieces designed and made personally by Cornelius. Unfortunately, he passed away due to illness several years ago. His son Walter has taken over the business and he has inherited his fathers creativity and artistry, but adds a twist of his own. He shares the same integrity that they have always had. He is redesigning my wedding band, which I look forward to.

Dec 2020With my upcoming wedding anniversary coming up, I went and met with Walter to look at the various ring designs in person for a custom piece my husband was getting me. Mind you, I already knew that my new ring would be a Cornelis Hollander band- I fell in love with his designs the first time I saw them at least 10yrs ago and I finally was ready to get what I really wanted...And I wanted a Green Tourmaline ring like the one Cornelis Hollander designed!He was very helpful even at our first in person consultation and then we kept in contact over email within the next weeks with the various details of the ring design and cost estimates. At no point did I feel pressured or like Walter was being a "sales person", the whole process really felt casual, flexible... and I felt heard and understood and never rushed or pushed. When I got the visual of the approximate ring, I was so excited and then when I went in to try the wax sample, I was elated- their rings have a heft and a bold look to them that I just love and I didn't have a doubt it would be gorgeous once cast. I am in love with this beauty!Walter, thank you so much for your patience and working with me to get the piece I've been wanting for a decade! I feel so proud just to have this little piece of your father's creative legacy!

The ICONIC Life Magazine team absolutely loved working with Walter for our Design Awards Event. Walter was extremely generous, kind and helpful!! We all felt so lucky to have the opportunity to wear stunning pieces from Cornelis Hollander for our special night. Each piece of jewelry we wore was gorgeous! Thank you for making us all feel so amazing, it was a special memory that we will never forget! We look forward to being jeweled up by you in the future!

I had an exceptional experience designing a ring for my fiancée with Walter Hollander. The look in her eyes when she saw what was custom made for her was priceless and will remember my whole life. The ring is perfect in every way—Walter’s attention to detail and commitment to meeting every one of my requests truly set him apart. Working with a true professional like Walter was a pleasure, and it’s clear that Cornelis Hollander is the go-to place in Arizona for all your jewelry needs. This has been the best experience, and I look forward to returning for our future needs. Thank you, Walter, for creating such a special piece for us!

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.

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!"

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.

Walter is a true artist and genius designer. We came to him with a very special family heirloom engagement ring we wanted to design to not only protect the 3ct marquise, but utilize the original baguettes into a “starship alien engagement ring”. He totally exceeded our expectations in both visually and structurally. I’d recommend anyone here to either purchase a beautiful and unique design or create their own with the aid of Walter’s talent. We’re beyond grateful for all the hard work, talent and care put into making our dream ring.

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
