Several years ago I received a gift of a custom-made signet ring. I was told by the jewelry store /designer that it belonged on my my fifth finger. I got the ring. Went through several fittings. But I never wore it as I didn't feel comfortable wearing "pinky ring."After seeing the ring lying there unworn (especially in front of the individual who gifted it to me) I decided that I would have the ring resized to fit my ring finger.I first went back to the jewelry store who made the ring. They told me that it was an extremely difficult task to resize the ring to a different finger. It would require a laser. It almost couldn't be done. We were talking $800 to $1,000. I said "thank you" and left.Amazingly, there was a jewelry store next door to that that institution. I asked them the same question. They told me it was difficult. It would be $300 to $500 to resize the ring since it was going up several sizes. And it would take a while. I would need to leave the ring for some time. I thanked them for their time.Then I went back to my old standby, Lisa Kotchey Design. She took one look at it. Sure, no problem. $150. The ring fits. I can use it again. I haven't spent my life savings getting it resized. And it is quality work. Should have saved myself some time and gone there first! If you're looking for someone to either make a piece of jewelry or repair a piece of jewelry, look no further. I won't.

I had a ring I didn’t wear and wanted to have it made into something I would wear. Lisa worked with me in designing this gorgeous pendant. She listened and incorporated my wishes into the design. She’s patient, knowledgeable and talented. Highly recommend!

Had two rings resized and she did a wonderful job. She also checked that the stones were secure in the settings. I had a given her a design for a ring and she made it back in 2005 that to this day the ring looks great.

Lisa is always great to deal with. Whenever we want something custom made we just have a chat with her, she draws it up and she creates what we want! You can't go wrong dealing with Lisa.Heidi Fay

In 1995, the Rascals, Rogues, and Rapscallions, a men's club I belong to, hired Lisa Kotchey to design and produce a medal for an annual competition. The club loved the initial design and has gone back to her year after year to get new medals for new winners of the competition. In all of those 27 years of knowing and working with Lisa, I have found her a wonderful combination professional and fun.
