Handcrafted Pendant

"I was referred to Mark and he was nothing short of all the amazing things I was told about his passion and quality of work. He maintains a beautiful collection of stones and can source the right metals to fabricate unique pieces. He designed a gorgeous pendant and upon completion go the model he was able to come up with a beautiful design for the back, taking into account the things I spoke about with respect to my desired style of jewelry. He also sized and restored a beautiful vintage ring that looked better than it did when I purchased it. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. His passion is infectious and his eye for designing beautiful pieces is truly impressive."

"We were new to San Diego and needed a number of pieces of Jewelry cleaned, repaired, sized, etc. We chose Jewelry by Design because of the 5 star rating, number of services provided and location. Mark and his wife were so accommodating and engaging and everything came back in beautiful condition and at the estimated cost. We will definitely be repeat customers"

"I am so grateful my husband found Mark to design my 10 year anniversary ring. He was able to listen to my abstract vision and turn it into a gorgeous and unique ring I will treasure for life. We only had to meet once to go over ideas and then a second time to see the wax mold and make minor adjustments.  Mark is incredibly creative and talented and I couldn't have picked a better artist to create my ring. I am thrilled with how it turned out and proud to wear it! His pricing was fair and his turnaround time was incredibly fast. We loved working with Mark and highly recommend him to anyone looking to create a one of a kind piece and have a special experience doing it. "

"I had a fantastic experience with Jewelry By Design!! Mark was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the entire process, and made the most out of the stones I brought in. The end result came out better than I imagined, and I can't wait to propose!"

"I can't say enough about how great my experience was working with Mark on my now-fiance's custom engagement ring. It was absolutely one of the best overall shopping experiences of my life. I went into the process expecting it to be stressful and nerve-racking, but after an initial one hour meeting with Mark those feelings turned to pure excitement over the amazing ring he designed. I came to him with a vague idea of what I wanted and he was able to draw multiple sketches, make suggestions, and listen to my feedback to create something that was well beyond my expectations (and that my fiance loves). In addition, the value was great. Mark gave me a cost estimate during our first meeting and stuck to it throughout the entire process, even when he later suggested improvements that should have increased the cost. In the end I feel like I paid less than I would have from a big box jewelry store and instead got something that is one of a kind and expertly crafted."
