I've been getting my jewelry through Cheryl for 12+ years. She is extremely knowledgeable about jewelry and works with the best designers. She exceeds my expectations with every piece of jewelry I get through her. She is fair and honest. I highly recommend her to my friends and family for their jewelry needs.

Great Customer Service. Has actual samples instead of listings and numbers. Very helpful. I am in sales and Cheryl is amazing and she makes you feel at home

Cheryl is professional, extremely knowledgeable and provides fantastic one-on-one service that I could not come close to finding at even the nicest retail jewelers. She met with me multiple times at my convenience.

I was able to work with Cheryl in person to design a totally custom engagement ring for my fiance. From the first time I called her, to the day I proposed, Cheryl made me feel extremely comfortably with the process of buying a ring, and knowing that I was getting a quality diamond at a great price. Cheryl will not only help you pick out the perfect ring, she will educate you so you know exactly what you are purchasing. My experience was so fantastic that I even met with Cheryl a few times to help my brother pick a diamond for his fiance!

Cheryl was great to work with! She found a great diamond and gave me a great price on it. My fiance loved the ring and I received numerous comments on how stunning it looked. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great diamond at a great price.

Fornash Jewelers is a Richmond-based company that I would highly recommend! Whether Cheryl is helping you give an outdated piece of jewelery new life, creating an elegant new piece to last for generations, or assisting you with selling a pass heirloom, you can not go wrong!

Cheryl was a true pleasure to work with when I sold my diamond. She was committed to ensuring that I received the maximum value for my stone. She made recommendations to improve the value of the stone and did all of the legwork to make it happen. When Cheryl commits to you, she ALWAYS follows through. I truly appreciate the time she took to make this happen for me. I would absolutely go to Cheryl again for my jewelery needs.

Cheryl Fornash is the best jeweler to work with, bar none. I was first introduced to her by my brother in law back in 1998 when I was shopping for a wedding/engagement ring. She gave me first class service, and delivered the finest product in the end. All the while I was in California, and she in Virginia. Unfortunately my wife lost that ring, and we finally got around to replacing it this past year. This time, Cheryl out did her self and made the engagement ring more beautiful than the first, which was very hard to do. Her attention to detail is amazing. I recommend her with my highest recommendation!!!

Cheryl gives friendly accommodating personal service with great knowledge of her merchandise at fair and reasonable prices. I trust her judgement and honesty as she explains and educates me on individual items. I have used her as my sole source for fine jewelery over the last ten years or so. Most recently Cheryl helped me add two diamonds to my wife's solitaire engagement ring for her 50th birthday and our anniversary. The results were stunning. I would highly recommend her to you if you are in need of fine jewelery.

I came to Cheryl Fornash wanting a personal experience without the added stress of commercial retail jewelry salesmen pressuring me to make hasty decisions regarding buying my fiancée's engagement ring. Cheryl took her time finding the perfect stone for me at the price I needed. She refuses to allow sub-par diamonds to even be considered in presenting to her clients. She educated me on diamond grading and why prices can vary so drastically. She was also willing to postpone setting the diamond I finally chose until I could afford the setting I really wanted for my fiancée.



Put simply, Cheryl made buying an engagement ring more relaxed than I thought possible. I am confident that I gave my fiancée the very best ring I could get. I strongly recommend Cheryl for any type of jewelry, but especially diamonds.

Just got an engagement ring through Cheryl. Got a great deal and Cheryl was very friendly and professional. Highly recommended if you need to buy or sell jewelry. Check with her BEFORE you buy at retail. Kerry Riley

When I started looking for an engagement ring, I began shopping around was referred to Cheryl by a friend. Cheryl was a pleasure to work with and I got a great deal. Needless to say, any more jewelry shopping I need to do, I will go to Cheryl first.

Wonderful experience. Custom doesn't mean more expensive, just means better ! I would recommend to anyone at any price range.

First and foremost...I have found my jeweler for life. Cheryl will help you find exactly what you are looking for or help you create that special piece of jewelry (which in my case was an engagement ring). I learned more about diamonds in one meeting than I ever did at any retail store. I really enjoyed working with Cheryl and l liked the personal private service versus someone trying to "sell" you jewels. Thanks Cheryl. Five stars all the way.

I recently went to see Cheryl Fornash to have work done on my engagement ring. My husband and I had just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary and as a anniversary gift we were having my ring redone. It was the best experience with a jeweler. Extreamly helpful since I had no idea where to begin. Cheryl took the time to sit and chat to see what I had in mind and then she gave me great suggestions and end result was a fabulous ring.



I will use Cheryl for any future jewelry purchases we may have. I will be recommending her to any of my friends and family who want jewelry with fabulous servious and unquestionable quality.



Thanks Cheryl.

As a guy, buying jewelry for a girlfriend, fiance, or wife can be an overwhelming ordeal, especially for something as important as an engagement. I was apprehensive about beginning the process of engagement ring shopping because I did not even know where to begin. Most of all, I didn't want to go to a chain jewelry store and pick out a ring that a thousand other women already have on their fingers. A friend referred me to Cheryl Fornash and assured me a personal experience and a guarantee that my money would go farther with her, than any fine jewelry shop I could find. This was an understatement.



Cheryl helped take the nerves out of searching for such an important gift. She will work with anybody on any budget and meet with you as many times as it takes to get you that perfect ring your significant other will love. I did not think it was possible to get a diamond and ring, of such superb quality for the budget I was working with. Cheryl is the definition of professional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for quality jewelry and a personal experience. Moreover, I feel compelling loyalty to her for all her help, and look forward to working with her again shortly when my fiance and I pick out our wedding bands.

I was referred to Cheryl from a friend who had just gotten married. He told me that I would be throwing away my money if I went anywhere else. I was skeptical of this, I thought that I was educated about diamonds, and understood what I was shopping for. I had been shopping for a diamond & band for about 3 months. I went to just about every jewelry store in Richmond, VA. I decided to take my friends advice and talk to Cheryl just to see what she was all about. Cheryl and I corresponded on the phone a few times so that she could determine what type of diamond I was looking for. About a week after that she brought me into her office for a diamond education, and to show me two stones. Two weeks after that, I picked up my fiancée's engagement ring. I got a MUCH higher quality diamond than any other store even carried, the band was more beautiful than any other jewelry store had in stock. Since Cheryl works by herself, her overhead costs of running the business are low, and she passes the savings on to the purchaser. What I paid for the ring is far less than it appraised for. My fiancee continually gets compliments from her ring, and all of my friends are very impressed with it. Everyone I know who isn't married already has already pledged their loyalty, and plan on doing business with Cheryl in the future. I dare you to shop everywhere for a diamond, and then talk to Cheryl. You won't be disappointed.

How can you be sure of the quality of a diamond and its setting? How do you know you are getting a fair price? How do you know you can trust the person/store you are buying from? When I bought my engagement ring from Cheryl Fornash, none of these questions ever entered my mind. I knew exactly what I was getting, that I was getting it at a great price, and that her only intentions were to help me find the perfect, high-quality ring that my fianc and I would love for the rest of our lives. Cheryl was very knowledgeable and helpful when it came to educating me about diamonds. She was also very flexible and patient, meeting with me and my fianc on multiple occasions and showing us a number of diamonds of different cuts as we narrowed our search to find the perfect one for us. She was easy to talk to and always made herself available to us. I trust Cheryl Fornash completely and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy an engagement ring, a diamond, or any other piece of fine jewelry.

Couldn't be happier with the quality and service Cheryl provided. Easy to work with. Discrete. My fiance was overjoyed with the engagement ring Cheryl helped me create.

Working with Cheryl has been a wonderful experience. I felt she always had my best interest at heart and I will look to her for all of my jewelery needs whether it is to procure a new special piece or sell an old one. Cheryl goes above and beyond to find the best quality and value and offers prices that cannot be beat on both the selling and buying side. Not only do you get great deals working with Cheryl you get the pleasure of getting to know a truly lovely, kind, generous and honest woman. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her and I just can't wait to work with her again!

Cheryl Fornash is terrific. My first purchase was an engagement ring for my wife twenty years ago. I've been a client of Cheryl's ever since. Incredible customer service, great advice and first rate quality. Low overhead keeps the prices far more competitive than the retail stores. But what really separates Cheryl from the crowd is the way she works with you to find the perfect piece. That's important, especially if you are guy trying to find that perfect surprise gift for your wife. That's where she has helped me time after time over the years. She's the best.
