(Origianl: Wollte Euch nur schnell mitteilen, dass der Ring heute abgeholt wurde und die Dame total begeistert war von Deiner wunderbaren Arbeit. Der Ring sieht phantastisch aus an ihrer Hand.)
2008: Thank you so much for the wonderful bells. Their color is brilliant and their weight will be just right for the costume. I love that they are larger then the pictures on your website. I will show them around the museum and my husband loves them as well. When my costume is finished I will send you a pic. for your collection or website. Thank You Again. They are lovely and true works of art.
2008: I just had to write and tell you what a success the silver toothpick has been with my husband. He was absolutely delighted. It is very much better than the previous one he had that broke and he says that not only is a pleasure to use but he can see that the quality is so much better. Once again, many thanks and I would now like to order another one for my son.
2007: Thank you so much for creating my beautiful new jewellery with mum's diamonds. I wear them every day with pleasure. You both showed compassion & understanding in your dealings with me and your pride in your work and your professional approach is to be commended.

2005: Thank you for the beautiful pearl earrings you have made for me. They are just what I envisaged.
2005: Dearest Martin
& Dorte,
Thank you so much
for our beautiful rings. We absolutely love the engagement ring. We get lots of
comments about how antique and traditional it looks. The wedding rings are also
doing their job. D. has become quite attached to his and I think it will stay on
his finger for good. Thanks again for your time and contribution to our
marriage. All our love P&D
2005: Thank you so much for making my lovely necklace, and also to Dörte for the beading. It will be perfect for my outfit for L&G’s wedding one month from today. Hope to see you both when down South sometime again. Many Thanks K.
2008: I just wanted to let you know that the gift's
recipient was absolutely delighted with it!
Thank you so much for your prompt, helpful service.
2008:
Bom dia, Let me say this: PERFECT, EXTRAORDINARY. You are artists. As you can
understand, I've got the rings. I also want to thank for the beautiful postcard.
When I saw my Ouroboros, I was without words (sem palavras). What can you say of
something that you dream, and you saw it. THANK YOU. You are part of my present
and the future of my family. I will send pictures of my wedding. P.S.: If some
day, I went to Australia, we would be very happy to meet you. Like I said in
past mail, if you need something from me or Portugal, I am at your disposal.
2006: Thank you so much for the Ouroboros Rings! They arrived in time and were absolutely perfect! My friend was looking for an Ouroboros Ring for years already. He couldn't stop smiling for the entire day, he was so happy, and mine is now keeping my fingers company. They're absolutely gorgeous, and I can't thank you enough. You certainly made my day, and his.
2007: I just wanted to let you know that the Ouroboros ring arrived safely and it's lovely. It is my fiancée's engagement ring and he's very happy with it. Thank you so much!
2007: Hi just to let you both know the ring arrived today and its great very pleased with it thank you both its being a pleasure dealing with you thanks and good luck to both of you
2007: just a quick note to tell you that the Ouroboros rings arrived safe and sound and are even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you. I will happily recommend you to anyone.
2007: In the late 80s we had a comedy Si Fi show over here in England, called red dwarf. In one episode a box of supplies was found with the word Ouroboros and above it a snake eating its own tail. Dave Lister one of the crew explains to the rest of the crew the meaning of the symbol. After that I was hooked. Did some research and found out: it is so diverse a symbol and is used in many cultures from Ancient Egypt, American Indians to Norse Mythology in Europe. I have a great picture of a winged serpent, it is very old so I don't know when it was painted but it looks so like my ring. PS Ouroboros is from Cleopatra's Chrysopoeia, which means gold making.
2006: Thank you. I was looking for snake jewelry. Rereading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, a book which I recommend highly, reminded me of the vast amount of religious symbolism surrounding snakes. I always especially like Quetzalqoatl, the winged serpent god of Mesoamerica. Seraphim-type angels are also described as winged serpents somewhere, I think one of the Zoroastrian or non-canonical Muslim books. Anyway, the problem with snake jewelry is that it doesn't move, and divorced of the movement, a snake shape is kind of wimpy. Either that, or it's the bad-ass biker cobra look, which wasn't what I wanted either. What I loved about your design was the wings. It also made me laugh, because this is clearly a very young Ouroboros, which hasn't figured out yet that it has to swallow its tail, not simply bite it. That's just too cute. It's like, even eternal, self-sufficient beings have to find their way. And that's what I think about us all.
