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.

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!

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.

Cornelis designed my beautiful wedding ring over 10 years ago and it is beautiful! It still looks as beautiful as the first day I got it because every time I’m in AZ I pop in for a cleaning and examination. They have tightened any stones/settings and resized for me and they do amazing work in a short turn around time. Danielle is so helpful and kind and really works to accommodate my visits and needs. I will never trust anyone else with my ring and find the visits are well worth the peace of mind.

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 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.

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

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!

I was looking for someone to help my fiancée and I design a custom engagement ring for her, and had Cornelis Hollander recommended to me. Could not be happier with the service and product we received! Walter was patient and communicative throughout the design process, helping us explore different options and ultimately blending elements together for us to turn her vision into a reality that she now gets to enjoy every day. She is still smiling and giggling to herself every time she looks at it. If you’re looking for a quality bespoke jewelry design experience then you won’t be disappointed.

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!

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!

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!

Words cannot express my LOVE and gratitude for my stunning custom wedding ring by CH. I saw an ad years ago in an upscale AZ magazine and knew immediately this was the designer for me! I had my ring designed with the intent to add to the beauty as my style evolved throughout the years without taking away from the original design. Today is the THIRD time I am in to add customization and I could not be more elated. Everyone at Cornelis Hollander has so much passion and vision to create YOUR unique look. I would encourage for you to visit in person but don’t be afraid to work with them if you are out of state - it is well worth it! Thank you CH for being one in a million! You have my loyalty for life!

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.

My fiance and I are both so grateful to have found this jewelry store and to have had the opportunity to work with Walter. The store is beautiful with a great selection and Walter was very helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell he really cares about his work and customers. I'm from out of state and Walter made it very easy to stay in touch and receive the completed rings by mail.My fiance got customized wedding band with a family diamond embedded in the inside. He couldn't be more happy with how it turned out and was so excited to start wearing it immediately. I had several small diamonds passed down from my grandmother and I had them made into a small band using lab grown diamonds to supplement the rest of the ring. It turned out perfectly! Both rings were completed in a very reasonable time at a fair price.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!!!!!!!

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!
