My original engagement ring was redesigned into a unique and very beautiful statement piece with many compliments. My 2 daughters also had beautiful engagement diamonds designed for them. They are amazing. I recommend Cornelis Hollander with confidence that anyone will be pleased with any purchase.

From the moment we met Cornelis we knew he was the perfect Jeweler for us. His one of a kind designs mixed with his always creative mind we exactly what we were looking for. He designed pieces for us that are unique and fit our personality 100%. Aside from the magnificent jewelry he has in his store Cornelis truly is a great guy and has been wonderful to work with. If you really want to have a one of a kind ring look no further!
Eric O.
The Cornelis Hollander team are world-class. Walter met me personally to design the exact ring I wanted. Every detail was examined and great attention went into creating a masterpiece. We looked at many diamonds to finally find the perfect stone. She still looks at it constantly and tells me how much she loves it. You're not likely to get that quality anywhere else. Thanks CH!

I had my engagement ring and wedding band custom designed at Cornelis Hollander and it is absolutely beautiful. When my (now) husband and I went into the store, we were immediately taken care of, and were shown so many different options. We ended up taking one of Cornelis' designs, and making it our own. I love that my ring is different, and no one else has one exactly like it. I have received so many compliments over the years and everyone always says they love how different my ring is, and they've never seen anything like it. The craftsmanship and design are impeccable.
Ashley A.
I saw one of their designs and then was able to customize the ring to make it exactly like I had always pictured. The ring turned out beautifully and everyday that I wear it I am still in awe of it and get so many compliments! I couldn't recommend them enough especially for a custom piece!
Eric B.
First of all, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in conversation with Cornelis at his Scottsdale location not long before his passing. He was a true gentleman, and the ring that I acquired from him was a one-of-a-kind creation. His family carries on his tradition. I am thankful that they are still part of our community!
Heidi W.
What an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in the door to the final delivery, every interaction was above and beyond. Tina has the ability to truly see and hear her customer, asking the right questions along the way in order to guide you to the perfect selection. Her knowledge was evident and her passion for her work even more so. I am now the proud owner of a magnificent ring form Cornelis Hollander: unique and fabulous, it is a joy to wear and I've received many comments regarding how stunning it is.....and it makes me feel unique and fabulous as well! Definitely the place to shop for great service, high quality, and beautiful pieces.

"We have made numerous purchases from Cornelis Hollander Designs. Cornelis, Christa, and Charlene have been great to work with from help with choosing pieces to designing a ring for my husband with family diamonds to creating my 25th anniversary ring. We highly recommend Cornelis Hollander Designs!"
Rebecca J.
I brought in heirloom pieces of Jewelry to Cornelis. Most of which didn't fit me and wanted to make a ring with all of the different pieces that I could wear. We collaborated on the design, and he was so much fun to work with. Very professional as well. When I received the ring it exceeded my expectations and is just stunning. I was very impressed and am in love with my new ring that has so much history and meaning. Many thanks to Cornelis Hollander Designs.
Emily M.
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!

Cornelis Hollander Jewelry is an jewel store like no other. The elegant and beautiful designs are matched by the kind, generous, and friendly staff. My wife was so taken by the quality, beauty, and workmanship of the jewelry there that she could not get a certain design out of her head for twenty years. She was beyond elated to finally be able to get that ring this year. We recommend Cornelis Hollander Jewelry with out reserve and with wholehearted appreciation for their designs and staff.

Justin H.
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.
Lyndsay B.
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!
Steven N.
Had a great experience at Cornelis Hollander! Tina was extremely welcoming and I felt no pressure throughout the ring-buying process. They even expedited the ring build so that I could have it in time for my planned proposal. My now fiancée loves the ring and I have recommended the shop to a few friends. I will be back!
adeline k.
From the moment I walked in with my family to their store I knew that this place was perfect for what we were looking for. Tina and Walter were so welcoming and easy to work with. They really took my ideas and turned them into a reality- something that I did not know was possible. I have not received my finished ring yet but I have full confidence that it will be everything I was looking for. I cannot recommend them enough. I never thought I would be so crazy about a wedding ring or any piece of jewelry. They were able to put all of my meaningful ideas into the piece of art and I can't wait to have it on my finger!
Sofo S.
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.
Annie N.
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.
Henry R.
Have purchased 2 different Rings designed by Cornells Hollander. These pieces are absolutely the most beautiful and extremely unique designs that I've ever seen. Just had to buy them for my wife. Met Cornelis and He was absolutely one of the most wonderful gentlemen you would ever want to meet. He added some special touches to our orders and we were astounded with him. I recently found myself reading that Cornelis has recently passed away and my wife and I are deeply saddened. I know his wife will continue with the Family business and we will be once again a repeat customer. We send our deepest condolences and the world has lost a very kind and honest decent man. We will miss him and his wonderful sense of humour. Farewell Cornelis we will always remember you and will cherish the rings you made special for us. They will be passed down for generations to come. You truly impacted our lives in a positive way and we will cherish your memory forever. Thank you for that. We remain Yours Truly, Henry and Debbie Roseboom / Alberta Canada

Kathleen B.
I have been very fortunate to become friends with and a customer of Cornelis Hollander and staff. You won't find a more friendly group of people. But must say I, like many, sure do miss Cornelis, even though his son has learned the craft from his dad very well. The few pieces I have are very special to me, and always attracts compliments.
Bradley T.
The Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Design team was extremely helpful with helping me find my wife's engagement ring and wedding band along with working with giving me a fair price for it. They also were helpful with design and insight when she designed my wedding ring to match hers. We couldn't be more pleased and will be back to purchase more of their unique pieces in the future.

I worked in the jewelry industry for a few years and know how unscrupulous some stores can be. I was so impressed with the care I received when I chose the new setting for my stone. Walter took all the time I needed to select the perfect setting. I was blessed to be one of Cornelis last customers and he spent time exposing everything. He was a brilliant designer and so down to earth very humble. The family runs the business now and when you enter the store they make you feel a part of that family!!! You will not be disappointed give them a try!!!!!!!
Cornelius C.
I had an outstanding experience with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs, thanks to Walter's exceptional service. He played a pivotal role in designing the perfect ring for my fiancee. Walter's expertise and willingness to share information made the design process smooth and enjoyable. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to understand our preferences and ensuring that every detail was just right. What truly stood out was Walter's openness to exploring a variety of designs for the ring. He welcomed our ideas and collaborated with us to create something truly unique and special. Moreover, I appreciated that Walter was open to having my fiancee come back to make some final changes based on her desires. This level of flexibility and customer-centric approach made the entire experience even more memorable. If you're looking for a custom jewelry shop with skilled professionals who genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction, I highly recommend Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs and specifically working with Walter. Thank you for making our ring design journey so special!
Judi B.
I was delighted to find Cornelis here in Scottsdale when I moved here recently, because I have some pieces of his that I bought at least 25-30 years ago! Still my favorite ring! His work is wonderful and the staff in the store are great. Have no doubt, this is the place to go for unique and stunning pieces!
Jaxsun M.
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.
Cindy F.
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!
Lisa B.
There are few places in Scottsdale offering contemporary jewelry design. After seeing an ad for Cornelis Hollander wedding bands, visited the store with a few diamonds I already owned, hoping one could be incorporated into my new wedding ring. Walter, the jewelry, designed the perfect ring after showing me a few of his previous designs. The ring is simple and stunning. Walter is kind, helpful and ready to meet your design desires. Highly recommend.
Paul C.
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.
Chelsea M.
I adore this place! I have never been much of a jewelry gal ( which i know sound unbelievable), mainly because i always end up loosing it, so I do not even want to risk owning it. However, when I stumbled into Cornelis Hollander's shop, I instantly fell in love and knew my issue with loosing jewelry would soon gone. They have a two piece engagement ring that is to die for. I loved trying it on. The design was so unique and gorgeous I did not want to take it off. Walter was the one that helped us. He was incredible. I would suggest stopping by to take a look at their wonderful pieces, even if you are not in the market for some new jewelry.
Toni H.
This business was very helpful and when I asked for assistance in checking on men's wedding bands they were very prompt in giving me what I needed. This family owned business has beautiful works of art and designs in the jewelry that they sale. Especially in the wedding rings for women. The men's wedding bands are just as beautiful as well. I would encourage anyone that is looking for unique designs in wedding rings and bands to give this jewelry store an opportunity to help you with your shopping. Thank you, Toni
Dawn W.
We have worked with Cornelis as our family jeweler for more than a decade now. His work is impeccable, and people always comment on how incredible our jewelry is. There are look-alikes in town, but don't be fooled. Only they have creative options, quality, service and accommodate your every whim. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Jeff C.
We just picked up our engagement ring and couldn't be happier with the work, service and experience we had here. We needed a custom ring made from three heirloom rings that we already had. Other jewelers that we talked to were either not excited about doing the work or wanted too long to do it. Walking in the door and meeting Charlene, Cornelis and Walter made us feel instantly at ease and like they had our best interests at heart.. Walter sent us a custom design that was exactly what we talked about within days, and had the ring done in less than two weeks! All of this happened at a very fair affordable price, we will be returning soon to purchase my wedding band.
Veronica N.
Wow! This place has gorgeous one-of-a kind jewelry! The location has a nice open feeling with lots of natural light so you can see how the jewelry looks in natural light. I brought my ring in to get it appraised. It is a family run business, Christa, the owner was super nice and introduced me to Walter, her son who went in the back to proceed with the appraisal. In the mean time, I perused and looked at the rings, necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry. They are honest and give great advice. There were so many piece that caught my eye, I'll definitely be back to buy a unique piece of jewelry art!
Bruce J.
I chose Cornelis Hollander because of their unique designs. I just could not find anything like this at any of the chain stores. When I look at the ring, the best word that I can use to describe it is ... substantial. Katie and the team were amazing to deal with. Their process using CAD images assured that the engagement ring came out perfectly. We went back and forth with comments and design revisions until the ring was just the way I wanted it. My fiance LOVES her ring!!!! Thank you
Mindi D.
My husband and I have had nothing short of a positive experience with Cornelis. Both our wedding rings were custom made by Cornelis - and we LOVE them.
I also had my pearls restrung and some earrings made - all of which came out perfect!
Everything we take our rings to be polished the ladies are wonderful.
We've also enjoy some of the get togethers that have taken place there too!
We would HIGHLY recommend Cornelis Hollander

This is my favorite jewelry store to go and look around. All the jewelry is hand made and one of a kind! Always kind people working here that help you out and explain everything clear. We got our Wedding rings here, after talking with the owner he supplied us with what jewel works with the right metal we choose for our rings. It was a quick process and we are more than happy with the experience!!
Joe T.
I can’t say enough good things about CH! We had a great experience finding them online and then working with Walter on the phone to buy the wedding ring we wanted. They customized our ring to get to the price point we were comfortable with and we loved the results! Then a year later we had Walter design a custom wedding band to fit the ring and it was perfect! If you’re looking for a uniquely designed ring with great service, Cornelis Hollander is thee place to go!

What an Incredible Experience. Cornelis Hollander deserve 10 Stars! To start, Walter is an incredible jewelry designer. I worked with Tina, Katie and Walter. I wanted a new design for a bracelet that was made in Greece. The piece is called "Evil Eye" or Mati" in Greek. The original design was made with paracord. I took the bracelet to Cornelis Hollander. My initial meeting was with Tina. We discussed options and Walter came up with some great redesign ideas. During to design process, I met with Tina, Katie and Walter. We put our heads together decided on a redesign of the bracelet. Since the main piece of the bracelet is 925 Sterling Silver, and Murano glass, we made the bracelet part in 925 Sterling Silver. The entire staff at Cornelis Hollander are such warm-hearted and very friendly people. They make you feel like they knew you for years. Our next project will be designing a new Sapphire/Diamond ring. I highly recommend Cornelis Hollander for all your jewelry needs. Attached are before and after pictures of the bracelet. Jimmy V.
Madeline W.
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!
Michelle S.
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.
Seymour G.
Cornelis Hollander is a true artist. His jewelry is innovative and luxurious. My wife loves the wedding ring he made for her. She receives constant compliments on her ring but most importantly my wife is beyond delighted every time she looks down at her ring because Cornelis created what was unique to her. I will forever be a customer of Cornelis Hollander, as he is extremely talented and highly trustworthy.
Tony S.
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!
Ayesha C.
I had a great experience with Cornelis and staff. From the first moment my fiancé and I walked into the door everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. They took a lot of time with us to help assist with making an very important decision. I am very happy with my custom design ring and I feel special everyday when I look at it. Thank you Cornelis!! Ayesha
Addison O.
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!
Sarathea R.
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.
Francisca B.
We couldn't be happier with our experience at Cornelis Hollander Designs. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and valued. We were looking for custom made wedding rings, and the team went above and beyond to help us create the perfect designs. They listened carefully to our ideas, offered valuable suggestions, and kept us involved throughout the entire process. The craftsmanship is stunning, our rings turned out even more beautiful than we imagined. The quality is exceptional, and they made sure every detail was just right. We highly recommend this store to anyone looking for unique, high-quality jewelry and excellent customer service.
Caity C.
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!
Katelyn C.
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.
Todd J.
We bought matching rings at this beautiful jewelry shop about 7 years ago. They have a lovely selection of one of a kind jewelry conveniently located in Old Town Scottsdale. We stopped in to have our rings cleaned and it was completed while we waited. Good service.... and still very beautiful designs.
Christa
My ring is stunning. It is a custom creation and I am obsessed with it. Cornelis and his staff are so friendly, and all of his designs are very unique and modern. I was looking for something that didn’t look like every other ring out there, and when I spotted one of his designs on someone, I knew it was perfect.
Victoria V.
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.
MJ C.
Cornelis worked with me last year to update my wedding ring, utilizing my original stones but modernizing the setting with a bold, sleek design. I continue to get constant compliments on it. Recently, he helped me design and create a beautiful right-hand ring using a stone that I wanted re-set. He was great to work with and was very helpful in bringing my ideas to fruition. His staff is very friendly and helpful. The computer program they use is awesome, allowing you to actually see what your design will look like before committing. Love, love, love both rings and highly recommend Cornelis for his unique and stunning designs.
Barbara C.
Thank you, Walter for giving me the ring of my dreams! I have always wanted a Cornelis Hollander designer piece. You made the process seamless and easy. Was so excited when the design came thru is a couple of days and delivered on time and AMAZING! Thank you. I'm sure your dad is looking down at you very proud! Bravo!
Chris L.
I purchased a custom wedding band and engagement ring set that Cornelis made specifically for my fiancé and now wife of Ten Years! My soulmate constantly gets compliments from everyone, everywhere we go. “I’ve never seen a ring like that” “ that’s awesome where did you get that?” My wife says and you never will! She says this was made just for me.....& her eyes sparkle when she says it! I think anyone can go to a box store and buy a mass produced price of jewelry, but why would you? You get one true love in life! Why not get your partner something as rare, special, unique, and beautiful as they are and what they mean to you! This is the most attention and customer service friendly place I’ve ever purchased jewelry from. I have high dollar watches etc from other boutiques however they don’t follow up. I still get follow up email and calls from CH to make sure I’m happy! I was devastated to hear Cornelis had passed but krista ( sorry if I misspelled that) and his son still carry the torch with integrity, design, and style! I don’t usually take time to write reviews, but they took time to make my day special! It’s only fair to be honest and tell you how great this family and brand truly are. Do yourself a favor every person is one of a kind, make sure your jewelry says it too! Chris
Zoe E.
I had an incredible custom design created by Walter, he is truly one of a kind in his field. I've been to so many jewelers and this by far was the best experience and outcome, he gave great suggestions along the way and was able to stay in my price range. He has also fixed and updated all my jewelry since. 5 stars, I wish there were more to give!!
Don M.
I have been using Cornelis Hollander Jewelry for two decades. They have created several one-of-a-kind unique items for me and my loved ones. They have been on time, on budget and met the design goal for each piece. It is very comforting to know that your finished goods will be of the highest quality in workmanship and materials at a fair price. My thanks and gratitude to the entire team at Cornelis Hollander Jewelry.
Sharon C.
We have always appreciated the professionalism of Cornelis and his team. Everyone wants to make sure that we receive just the right piece of jewelry. We also had an existing design modified, and it's terrific. We also enjoy the lively discussions and laughs we have at each visit to this great jewelry store.
Kyle M.
Working with Walter to design my soon-to-be wife's engagement ring as well as our wedding bands was an awesome experience. We are very impressed with the quality of our rings and how unique they are. I highly recommend Cornelis Hollander Jewelry to anyone who is looking to create unique and meaningful pieces of jewelry.
Simma R.
This is the "go to" place where you can find a trust jeweler who's a true design genius! If you want run of the mill jewelry, go to the mall. Walter is truly an artisan with a brilliant eye for design. The pieces he's created are unique and a true work of art. I trust no one else but Hollander! They never disappoint and the level of service is unparalleled!
Tammy
Cornelis is one of the most honest, most creative and "coolest" jewelers around to work with. I have known Cornelis for many, many years and his work is fabulous. Everyone is professional, accommodating and a total pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Cornelis Hollander Designs for any and all occasions that you are looking for that most exquisite piece!

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
Kendra H.
I had an excellent experience with this company. Tina helped me each step of the way and answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. I was so impressed with all her suggestions and the process exceeded all my expectations. It was shipped and arrived next day too! My ring is beautiful and beyond unique. I love it. Thank you so much!!!
Linda S.
Cornelis was not only an amazing designer but he was a wonderful person. I brought him my engagement diamond after he designed a ring for a new diamond that we purchased. He then designed a pendant for the original diamond. I love everything that he did for me. I’m going to miss him but will speak with his son for further pieces.
Carol C.
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!
Terry M.
I recently worked with Cornelis Hollander Designs and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The attention to detail and superior craftsmanship of their jewelry is truly unmatched. What's more, they were incredibly easy to work with and went above and beyond what was expected. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, beautifully crafted jewelry.

With 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!

My Wife and I have been customers of this fine custom jewelry store for many years. They have unique designs at very good prices. They will also make a custom setting for you if you have your own stone, whether it be a diamond or another type. You can't go wrong with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs.

I know when I work with this company that I will have quality. I trust my treasured gems with this business. They have amazing jewelry pieces in there store but I love that they create exactly what I want. This is a unique and special jewelry store in downtown old scottsdale. They have history!!!
John L.
We totally love the custom jewelry that Cornelis Hollander and his team produced for my wife... two beautiful rings -- a wedding ring jacket and an anniversary ring... she is constantly receiving positive comments! Thanks for doing such a great job and being so wonderful with the experience! John & Roxann

First of all for all you Snoopy lovers I have a Snoopy ring that Hollander created that is so beautiful. The craftsmanship is exquisite and when I do wear it , I get compliments wherever I go. It's a simple but beautiful edition to my jewelry collection. Also The Hollander family made me feel like family. Thank you Crista and everyone!!

My experiences at Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs have been very positive. I have not been able to wear my wedding ring or engagement ring for many years. Both were too big. I had gone to another jeweler first for my wedding ring and they said they could not fix it. After Hollander's did a great job fixing my wedding ring, I decided to get another setting for my engagement ring. Even my husband commented on how nice it looks. So much nicer than the original setting. Since I have not compared prices, I cannot comment on cost. However, I definitely would recommend the quality of their work.

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!!!

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!
Marvin B.
We went to see Cornelis because we saw one of his ads in a magazine and my fiance loved his designs. Charlene and Cornelis were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They made the whole experience incredibly easy - from choosing the design to picking the diamond. They are very personable and nice people. The engagement ring was beautiful and my fiance loves it. An excellent experience - I highly recommend his services.
T C.
I cannot speak more highly of the team at Cornelis Hollander! They came highly recommend and did not disappoint. I was looking for something special and unique for my girlfriend, and they worked with me to design the perfect necklace, and then delivered in record time. She was impressed and wears the piece daily...I could not be happier...thank you!
MoneyMomBeth
Walter is an outstanding jeweler!! Took several rings to him to combine into one. Outstanding service and value. Definitely recommend. Follow-up review - Have been wearing my ring for a couple of months now. Absolutely thrilled with the amount of compliments I get about the ring. Definitely a one-of-a-kind - unique and eye-catching. So completely satisfied and grateful!
Cathy J.
We couldn't be more pleased with out engagement ring. From Tina in sales to Walter in design and customizing. They provided prototypes, shopped for the right diamond, you name it. Everything was timely and great communication. If you don't want a run of the mill ring, go to Cornelis Hollander!!
Bill T.
Following the Supreme Court decision, we had seen Cornelis Hollander's ads in the Echo magazine. When my partner and I decided to go to California to get married, we appreciated his advertising geared to the "community" so we decided to go to his shop, and we are so glad we did. Cornelis and his staff were so professional, welcomed us graciously and accommodated us completely. We have received many compliments on our rings, and we highly recommend him to any and all who are looking for a reputable business with absolutely beautiful designs. Thank you Cornelis and Charlene!

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.
Maria O.
Our experience with Tina at Cornelis Hollander was the best we've EVER had. She was so patient and thoroughly educated us so we were able to make just the right decision. She communicated with us every step of the way and we were beyond satisfied with the results! We have found a jeweler for life! Thank you Tina and the AMAZING artists at Cornelis Hollander!
Helene a.
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.
Jolene S.
I love Cornelis Hollander Designs! They not only turned my mother’s diamonds into a spectacular ring that I will cherish for many years, but the engagement ring they created with my husband is simply gorgeous! They have tremendous customer service; I will not let anyone else clean or service these rings. This is a family business you don't want to miss when looking for a special piece of jewelry or visiting Scottsdale.

If you are seeking unique modern jewelry custom made to your specifications, Cornelis Hollander is an extraordinary example of craftsmanship at its best. Timeless, beautiful works in precious metals and gems which will bring complements from anyone who sees them in person. I bought my first piece (of many) over 35 years ago from a Hollander show at Nordstrom. Walter and his family continue his Dad’s legacy. It truly is wearable art.
Raymond H.
My wife has been collecting Cornelius Hollander jewelry for 35 years. Not only are they wonderful pieces of jewelry but Works of Art. Cornelius was instrumental in founding a major change in the jewelry industry by making his custom pieces wearable art. I can't tell you the number of complements my wife has received through the years when she wears her Hollander jewelry. So for our 50th wedding anniversary I decided to once again make her a gift of a Hollander gold ring with beautiful stones. The Hollander name insures quality, service, and still that personal touch when you speak with them. Trust me when you want something special for your wife think of Hollander jewelry.
Jeffrey M.
Walter and the staff at Cornelis Hollander Designs are awesome! Had zero experience with shopping for jewelry, let alone designing a custom piece. They took the time to show me multiple rings and point out the features that accentuated each one, respectively. We compiled the elements I liked from several of them. Within 48hrs I had a rendering of what the ring would look like (didn’t even realize I was designing it with them). They took my feedback, we went back and forth several times (staff is amazingly patient) until it was perfect, and then delivered perfection! The biggest part of this was using stones from an existing ring with heavy sentimental value. I never once felt that I had to worry about the quality of the work, the preservation of the stones or the beauty of the finished ring. The only hard part was hiding it while traveling with my then girlfriend, and now fiancée. Thanks for perfect ring for a perfect person!
Catherine N.
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!
Debbie A.
Gorgeous Jewelry, Awesome designs and Amazing Custom creations from my imagination into works of lasting treasures. I am a huge fan and I highly recommend that everyone shop here! Although, I admit, I will be a bit Jealous to see others wearing these uniquely extraordinary designs. I get compliments everywhere I go! Thank you Cornelis Hollander xxx
Jolene R.
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!
Alisha A.
My family and I had such a great experience with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs! Tina was wonderful offering different design ideas with the stones we brought in. She was very patient, understood how sentimental these pieces were to us and worked to stay in my price range. I absolutely recommend Cornelis Hollander to anyone, true expertise in the industry!
Diana P.
Their quality is exceptional! All their pieces have perfect finishes. Their attention to detail is one of a kind. My husband picked the perfect engagement ring for me 18 years ago, along with our wedding bands. Sadly he recently past away from Covid -19. I will treasure those rings for the rest of my life and will pass them on to my daughter for her to treasure as well. I can trust they will last forever due to their quality. Also happy my husband chose Cornelis Hollander as his option at the time. Thank you for making me always happy through out all the years with your amazing creations. My husband always had great taste. ♥️ Pick well, as you never know how valuable your decision will become.
Luv W.
After looking in many jewelry stores, I finally found the style of jewelry that suited me. Tina helped me to design a ring and pendant made from my parents wedding gemstones. She was super patient and helpful and responsive to all of my questions, texts and phone calls. The finished products are stunning and I'm enjoying wearing them.
Addison O.
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!
A R.
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.
nancy f.
I bought my wedding ring at 20 and I think it was the first one I tried on. But when my 25th wedding anniversary came around I wanted a new ring. We are celebrating our 48th in a week and I love the ring I bought at Cornelis Hollander Designs on my 25th wedding anniversary. And I still get compliments.
Stephanie D.
Cornelis Hollander has beautiful, unique designs. I worked with Tina and she is amazingly patient and talented. I am extremely indecisive, and she did not even blink at my changing my design 4 time and meeting with me each time. Walter, who I believe is the owner and son of the founder, was also incredibly professional and pleasant. I highly recommend Cornelis Hollander for a special purchase, accompanied by very special service.
Nasreen A.
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 !
Daniel L.
The customer service here is just amazing. I would recommend it to my closest friends who are looking for a one of a kind engagement ring. Their designs are flawless and they take the time to find out exactly what you are looking for. The store has a beautiful selection and the customer service makes them stand out from any other jewelry store that I've been to.
Christa R.
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!!
Vivian O.
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.
Christopher B.
Incredibly high-quality ring, it exceeded every expectation I had. They were very fair on the price. I could not be happier with my experience. There is absolutely no other jeweler I'd recommend than Cornelis Hollander Design. I will definitely be a returning customer when the day comes.
Lettie B.
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!
Justin C.
I found the perfect blend of art and jewelry in the engagement/wedding ring I purchased at Cornelis Hollander. My wife absolutely loves it, and the staff was exceptionally informative and patient in the process. So much so, we decided to purchase my wedding through them as well, which was another very positive experience!
Shannon V.
I've been working with the Hollander family for nearly seven years now and am always amazed at how welcome I am made to feel each time I go in. The Master's Artistry (may he rest in peace) are privileges to wear and exquisite examples of bold creative visions and stunning accessories that are sure to be highly valued heirlooms and estate pieces for the discerning person of good taste.
Kimball S.
45th Wedding Anniversary Ring Walter helped with ring selection and made changes to accommodate the Diamond and add the changes we requested. He informed us and helped in the selection of a Diamond for this ring providing several choices. We are very Happy with the ring and would highly recommend Walter and Cornelius Hollander Jewelry Designs to everyone.
Rochelle D.
Walter, Tina and Charlene treated me like family and made me the most beautiful wedding ring. Very professional and good communication. The design is everything I was looking for: strong but feminine, heavy duty but delicate. Truly a work of art, which as an artist I appreciate more than they could know! Since they have many types of rings and jewelry to choose from, I’m looking forward to working with them again in the future.
Nancy B.
After moving to Scottsdale, I’m delighted to have found Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs, a full-service business with a wonderful, helpful staff. They spent considerable time getting to know my taste to assure that the ring designed for my diamond would be perfectly suited to me. There was no rush and no pressure. Walter, a highly skilled designer and craftsman, created a gorgeous ring I’ll enjoy wearing for years to come! In addition to designing that piece, Walter repaired a beautiful ring that is a treasured heirloom, adjusted the sizing on another ring, and updated appraisals on a number of my jewelry pieces. It was a great pleasure working with Walter, Charlene, and Tina, and I feel confident I can trust them to assist with all my future jewelry needs!
Kimberly L.
Excellent customer service! I had a pair of gold/ diamond earrings that my husband had given me 25 years ago. The clasp had broken And I brought it to Cornelis Hollander for repair. They did such a beautiful job restoring them to the original luster! The repair cost was so reasonable as well I was surprised! I wish I could give them more stars. Thank you to their whole team for doing such a great job.
Matthew S.
We had a private appointment and it was our first time ring shopping. Tina was so welcoming and amazing to work with. We left feeling very comfortable and confident in our decision. There was no need to check out other stores as we found exactly what we wanted! Thanks again Tina as well as the whole team!
Jasmine B.
These talented folks did an amazing job rendering, designing, and crafting my unique engagement ring! The split-shank spiral represents a galaxy (because my finance and I are space and sci-fi nerds haha!). And the center diamond floats right above the bottom band of 20 other diamonds. Tina was great at capturing desired elements and suggesting design adjustments that resulted in this elegant, special masterpiece.
Jackie W.
I was given a diamond ring that has been in a drawer for over 5 years. It was lovely, but not my style. I took the ring to Cornelis and asked him to reset it in a different design. I picked it up today and it took my breath away. The ring is exquisite! It brought tears to my eyes, because instead of being kept in a drawer these diamonds will be kept on my finger. Thank you Cornelis. You are an artist!!!
Jessica S.
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!
Madison R.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Cornelis Hollander Jewelry. Walter is the absolutely best and the time and effort he took to make the perfect wedding band for my fiancé truly means so much. Walter communicated with us every step of the way and I am happy he created the ring. There is no one better!
Lorri M.
We drive from Palm Springs, CA to have Cornelis create our jewelry. We absolutely love the service and amazing jewelry! He created a beautiful mixed gold ring for my 6.5 carat tanzanite. His creativity and flexibility provides us exactly what we want in a creative piece. Prices are very reasonable.
Mary B.
Wanting to create a unique wedding ring , and using special diamonds from family , and a center diamond recently purchased… Walter listened to our ideas along with his experience and created a special ring that exceeded our expectations… we would recommend him for his professionalism and talented created results… best ever!!
Sandra M.
Walter Hollander was a professional from the beginning of the design process to completion of the jewelry. His skills and expertise in creating beautiful, timeless and generational pieces are exceptional. His attention to detail is something rare to find in jewelers today. Thank you, Walter!
Matt G.
We had a great experience at Cornelis Hollander. My wife wanted to design a 20th anniversary ring, and worked with Walter for a couple of months to get it right. They worked really well together, Walter was very patient, offered great design ideas and the ring is unbelievable! If looking for an honest jeweler with tremendous design abilities and workmanship, you need to visit Walter at Cornelis Hollander!!
Mariano S.
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.
Jennifer C.
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!
Rebecca D.
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.
Colin M.
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.

My Wife and I have been customers of this fine custom jewelry store for many years. They have unique designs at very good prices. They will also make a custom setting for you if you have your own stone, whether it be a diamond or another type. You can't go wrong with Cornelis Hollander Jewelry Designs.
Brenna H.
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!
Christa B.
I had been looking for a unique, modern style for my wedding ring for a while when I met another girl whose ring caught my eye. Following her advice, I checked out the Cornelis Hollander store when I was in old town Scottsdale one day, and just fell in love with his designs. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. And unlike chain stores, where what you see is it, here they encourage you to be creative, pick and choose different parts of different rings that you like to come up with something truly your own. And Cornelis himself is there most of the time to help with the design process. We ended up feeling like he was more of a friend than just a jeweler. I get random people complimenting me on my ring all of the time now. Highly recommend!
Aliria A.
First, I am truly sad that Cornelis is no longer with us; a true artist. He designed my ring as I requested, taking inspiration from 3 of his designs combined; came out exactly as imagined. Beautiful elegant and very different from all the every day wedding rings out there! This was my 3rd wedding ring I was changing because I just did’t quite like what was out there! 10 years later and I’m still in love with my ring! I have my eyes set on another beautiful ring...I’ll be visiting the shop soon! I hope his children will be able to carry on his legacy! Quality strong bold designs; I’m constantly being complemented on the ring.

I engaged Cornelis Hollander, and specifically Tina and Walter, to help me create a custom engagement ring for my fiancé. Both were incredibly patient as we worked through a number of iterations of the ring design to land upon a piece that is truly beautiful, artistic and structurally sound. It was an ambitious undertaking, but Walter really went all out to create an amazing ring! It is just stunning and artistically unique. My fiancé just loves it and I could not be happier with this very special piece that memorializes how much we mean to one another. Plumeria is absolutely beautiful and my sincere thanks to Tina and Walter for bringing it to life.

My wedding ring is an original CH design. Was honored to meet the designer (Cornelis Hollander) many years ago at the Scottsdale store. Now his son Walter, designed a matching band for my wedding ring, he took my vision and was able to create the most unique band, it is gorgeous! The apple did not fall far from the tree. Walter is fantastic to work with. I love my “new” wedding ring set - if that is even possible. Exceptional workmanship and design. Will be back for a second band. My son also purchased the engagement ring for his fiancé - a fabulous ring from CH. Walter and his staff were extremely helpful and made the purchase a pleasant experience for my son and his fiancé. Thank you.

I had a number of family heirloom pieces that I wanted to recreate into custom designed, modern pieces. Tina and crew were OUTSTANDING!! I made an appointment and they spent over two hours with me reviewing the items I had, and offering design ideas for new pieces. They provided final designs via CAD visuals and their recommendations were incredible! They helped consolidate an overwhelming number of pieces into a few beautiful, modern pieces that will preserve my family heirlooms and create items I will enjoy wearing. Great customer service and professionalism!!!!

Needed some work done on my Tanzanite ring and could not find anyone who was willing to work with the delicate stone. A friend referred me to Hollander. He did the most beautiful job with a new shank, and new prongs without any damage to the stone. I would definitely recommend them for repairs on a precise stone!

From Cornelis' uniquely original and trend setting designs, now continued through his son, Walter, and and his cutting edge contributions, to each member of the production staff and sales personnel....Quality is the word of the day. Every day. I love it when my Hollander pieces draw attention from onlookers. A special thank you to Christa!!

I lost a diamond out of my original engagement ring & I brought my wedding ring set to Cornelis Hollander to remake using my diamonds & to do a redesign. My husband & I are extremely pleased- my rings are beautiful & modern & I get so many compliments- I thank Cornelis & Walter for their beautiful work. I also have a mother's ring they made custom for me that is absolutely beautiful!

This is my absolute favorite store! I have four rings that I have ordered and designed through CH in the past 20 years. I can’t say enough good things about their work, quality, and designs. I get more compliments on my rings and I can’t stop looking at them. I am already thinking of getting another ring or necklace. It was a pleasure to work and meet Cornelis in the past. So glad Walter is continuing the great work! Also, a big thanks to Tina for helping with all my questions! Thank you CH!

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

A unique blend of traditional and avant-guarde designs. We shopped many high end jewelry stores and couldn't find exactly what felt right. Tina worked with us to design the perfect traditional setting with a contempory twist. Couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Cornelis Hollander and will return many times due to their excellent customer service and design expertise.

We have been looking for the perfect ring for a long time. CHJ had exactly what we were looking for. The styles and designs were amazing! I still can't get over how beautiful this ring is. The sales woman was so helpful, I wish I could remember your name right now but thank you so much! We will be back for my wedding ring! Thanks again!

My fiancé proposed to me with a family heirloom ring as a 'stand-in' for THE ring which he wanted me to design/select as we would be using a gorgeous diamond that he had been bequeathed. He had already done some research and really loved the unique designs offered by Cornelis Hollander. We visited the store and I absolutely fell in love with their designs ~ especially one. My fiancé took me to several other stores to ensure that I would have a ring that was made especially for me. I saw hundreds of beautiful rings but could not stop comparing them to the design I fell in love with in Cornelis Hollander Needless to say, I went back and worked with Tina on making their design Uniquely my own. She was wonderful and patient ~ My ring is perfection and I am so thankful for their fine customer service and craftsmanship!! I am definitely one of their new and loyal customers!

Absolutely love my engagement ring from Cornelis Hollander!!! My fiance and I worked with Walter to have a diamond I inherited set into a new setting. The entire process was easy and Walter was very professional. We were considering other options from Hamras, Tiffany's and Cartier, but I loved this design and wanted something more unique. I couldn't be happier with how the ring turned out! These iphone pictures don't do it justice. I highly recommend C.H. if you're looking to have custom work done! 🙂 Just updating to add that we had Walter make me a wedding band with pink diamonds & it turned out beautiful!!! It compliments the ring perfectly. I also like having the band to wear by itself when I travel overseas since it is less flashy. It is very cute, almost heart-shaped, and looks great on it's own! FYI - the photo of the two rings together was also taken with my iphone, so the quality isn't great.

I got a custom engagement ring from Cornelius Hollander. Working with Walter was awesome. He listened to all of our needs, and ideas. My ring was done faster than I thought it would be. The ring is a work of art! It is absolutely beautiful, and could not have been more perfect!! I love my ring, and recommend Cornelius Hollander to anyone who asks about it! Thank you Walter!!

I lost a ring that was a meaningful gift from my boyfriend. After debating, I contact Cornelis Hollander to have it remade. Tina was extremely helpful, she found the information on the ring immediately, told me it would take 3 weeks, but somehow they did it much faster. Tina was very sweet, responsive, and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. And the ring, just stunning, unique, and perfect. I am constantly getting compliments and would refer anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you Cornelis Hollander and Tina!!

We had the best experience designing a custom engagement ring! Engagement ring shopping can be a bit overwhelming but Katie made the process so easy and was very knowledgeable answering my many questions. We were able get exactly what we wanted and could not be happier. We will be going back for our wedding bands.

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 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!!
