Let customers speak for us
from 93 reviewsI waited and deliberated a long time about spending the money on this piece. As a diehard fan of stars and OEC diamonds, I could not have been happier. It is a truly beautiful, sizeable, weighty piece and the diamond looks huge and sparkles amazingly. The back is also closed and flush and the whole shape is so puffy like how I hoped it would be. I'm a fellow neurodivergent, so these sensory aspects really pleased me and make me love my star even more. I love the color of the diamond too. I have purchased a lot from many small businesses in the jewelry space and many of the pieces I have received from them have turned out to be smaller and flimsier in person, but with this one it was the opposite. I'm so happy I splurged on my little star and I have no regrets. It also shipped very quickly too, didn't really have to wait much at all compared to other small businesses. So impressive!! Thank you so much T&R for creating something so beautiful that resonates with me so strongly and that I can treasure for my whole life!!
Couldn’t be happier with my little star - she is so beautiful and also a comforting weight to hold and touch. Patricia is so kind and responsive to contact - you are truly getting not just wearable art but one to one attention and care.
Could not love my opalescent sapphire Little Star more. It is beyond gorgeous. Such a perfect piece!!!
A little bit of magic! Arrived in incredibly thoughtful packaging. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.
My star is so sparkly and the gold so substantial- I could not be happier with my purchase and I look forward to buying a Mother Star in the future
I love my little star. The waitlist worked easily and I found my perfect star. Patricia sent options perfectly based on my preferences. Shipping was fast and safe with signature required and my star came with the sweetest packaging. I wear it every day! Thank you!
These Little Stars really stand out. My sapphire is a gorgeous color. The piece is solid and hefty; beautifully crafted.
The absolute best. Love my littke adopted star 🤩🤩🤩
The little star is a beautiful piece of art. It is unique and makes me smile when I wear it. I like that it is thick and not a flat star and the weight of it is perfect to keep your chain from sliding around.
My star is the prettiest thing ever and brings me so much joy. After looking at them for a year or more I finally took the plunge and I’m so happy I did.
everything about this star is amazing! the packaging, the quality, the craftsmanship — and Patricia was so helpful in ensuring a smooth delivery. im in love with it!💗🌟
It’s absolutely exquisite!
I received my star and it came out perfect! Patricia was wonderful helping me through the customization process; showing me what stones were available based on my interests and explaining the differences between them and the finishes of gold. There was open and clear communication the entire ordering process including shipping. I’m in love with my star!
Perfect weight. Gorgeous finish. Love it so much!
I am beyond pleased with my Little Star! Not only was picking her out easy and fun, but communicating with Patricia was too! The quality is wonderful with every tiny detail being perfect. A one of one piece like this at this price point is truly unbeatable! I am so excited to have my star forever and ever! I cannot recommend this shopping experience enough!!!
