"As a first time and subsequent repeat buyer, I can safely say that I have had the most pleasurable experience working with Lauren. She understands the needs of her clients, sets clear expectations and communicates with transparency while clearly articulating the vision that works for the customer. Her keen eye for unique designs, breadth of knowledge around metals, stones and forging is why she is and will remain a fixture in the Raleigh community for years to come. Thank you for exuding professionalism in this industry and continuing to represent the blueprint of a local business class act!"

"I want to take a moment to echo all of the positive reviews for Quercus and Lauren Ramirez. My husband and I went to Lauren during the pandemic for our wedding rings. My husband had never worn a ring (this detail is important later). Background, he initially went to a well known jeweler in town and was turned off by the entire experience, and we have more class than to attempt to ruin their business with negative reviews. In complete contrast, Lauren curated an experience for us that was consultative, no pressure, and allowed us the space, time and moments to customize rings to be exactly what we wanted. Lauren went so far as to make models of rings in different sizes and widths for my husband to trial before he made a final decision. I also was able to try a model with my ring before it was set to make sure it was just right. The rings came out PERFECT FOR US. We have since dabbled in bigger box stores with manufactured products only to keep coming back to Lauren for her one of a kind work. I am really disappointed by anything negative people have posted here because I found Lauren to be ethical (down to the sourcing of her stones), realistic about setting expectations on price/budget (she will not show you anything not in line with budget and you are not only paying for quality stones, but her time and beautiful craftsmanship for a one of a kind piece), communication, timing, and acknowledging when it made sense to follow up. I liked my wedding ring so much, Lauren re-did my engagement ring setting to match. I have since purchased several things (including the diamond earrings that are truly for everyday wear). You will never make a wrong decision working and buying any pieces from Lauren, and I can’t wait to add to my Quercus collection!"

"A great experience from a one of a kind, professional jeweler. Fantastic communication and unparalleled craftsmanship set Quercus Studio apart from other jewelers. Lauren’s thoughtful approach was refreshing. Offering Canadian mined diamonds and the most beautifully vibrant Montana sapphires I’ve ever seen, she was able to create a true piece of art. Thankful for people like her in our community. Not only has she created a timeless heirloom for my family, Lauren has provided her art as a fundraiser for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you’re Looking for sincere quality and integrity, I found it. Raleigh needs more people like Lauren."

"Quercus is without a doubt the best jeweler I've worked with. The process from start to finish with my engagement and wedding rings was great, and Lauren did an amazing job making sure I was a part of the entire process from start to finish. I had no clue what kind of style or anything when I walked in, and Lauren was able to help me figure out multiple different options so I could have something that was perfect and unique for my fiancee (now wife). It was great being able to work with someone one on one instead of feeling like I was just another random customer for some big company, and I appreciate the fact that Lauren took the time create something that no one else has. I continue to go back and see what new stuff Lauren has come up with or brought into the studio any time in need of a gift."

"Lauren made us beautiful hand crafted wedding bands in addition to my engagement ring. We were able to take a family heirloom and design a stunning modern ring with vintage flair. All the engravings she did are incredible and of course all done by hand. Quercus Studio is a local woman owned business and we love everything she does!"
