Virtue Jewelers Atelier 74 State Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

"I brought in some sentimental loose diamonds and blue topaz to Erdem at Virtue to help me design a ring. He went above and beyond to not only give me options and help me style the ring, but also sent me 3D images of what the ring would look like when finished. He exceeded my expectations and I’m so incredibly happy with this ring that means so much to me. He’s honest and has a kind heart. I will never go anywhere else!"

"Where to start?! There is so much to say about Erdem and his shop! We got engaged in Venice, Italy with this gorgeous custom ring he made. He worked with us every step of the way and paid attention to even the smallest details. He is a true master of his craft. If you walk in the shop you’ll always see him working on something special. He is so nice, easy going and a friend for life. If I could give 100 stars I would! Go visit him!"

"I have known Erdem for over 10 years. He created my wedding band and I’ve also purchased a unique rose gold morganite ring from his shop a few years ago (which I get a ridiculous amount of compliments on). When I wanted to upgrade my engagement ring for my 10 year wedding anniversary he was THE go to guy. Erdem worked with me for over two months to construct the PERFECT ring, taking inspiration from a number of placed we designed a completely unique one-of-a-kind creation reflective of my style. I may be bias because it’s such a custom piece — but I think it’s his BEST work yet! He was so open to allllllll of my many ideas especially when we decided to change it up half way through — while still staying true to a piece he was proud of and would hold up well over the years. As a designer I was very picky (probably more than most) and he followed though on EVERY single little minuscule detail with the upmost craftsmanship. The process was delightful — from selecting and deciding on the stones to creating digital mockups, a 3D wax print, even videos of him setting the stones ensured every step along the way I would be 100000% happy with the final product. To say I’m thrilled, overjoyed and in awe of it is an understatement. Erdem is a true artist, but even more importantly he genuinely LOVES what he does and it shows in his work and how he treats his clients. He knows his craft — which is essential when making important decision for such an heirloom piece. It was a wonderful collaboration between his expertise and my style. While I still don't feeling deserving of such an exquisite piece — I do believe everyone deserves to wear jewelry that makes them happy and is a unique reflection of your individuality. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! BIG HUGS"

"Shopping at Virtue Jewelers Atelier and working with Erdem to select just the right stone and ring was the best experience I have ever had and I walked out as the happy owner of an exquisite ring! Erdem is an amazing jeweler and business man and he truly cares about the customers he serves. He is creative, thoughtful, and trustworthy and goes above and beyond in all he does. I have made three purchases at Virtue and have also purchased from Erdem in the past. Two of my recent purchases are gifts that I cannot wait to share. Five stars are not enough and if I could give ten stars, I would! I live two hours away from Erdem’s jewelry store but it is worth the trip every time!"

"My family has been dealing with Erdem for nearly 25 years, and I can say with absolute certainty that he is one of the best jewelers and craftsman in New England. Over the years he has designed and hand crafted more than a dozen custom pieces for us and they are all stunning and priceless. Erdem has the unique vision and ability to work with all budgets to create a one of a kind piece that will instantly become a family heirloom. We routinely drive more than 4 hours round trip to deal with him because he is truly the best. Erdem is innovative and constantly reinvests in his business and his craft. Most importantly Erdem is deeply invested in every piece that leaves his shop. He has always treated us like family. We are customers for life. Thanks for creating wonderful memories for our family."
