"My now husband and I went to Jewelry by design to get my mother's wedding ring redesigned for our wedding and Mark exceeded our expectations by far! We had a shot gun wedding and Mark expedited the process for us and got it done in time. He created a beautiful custom design that matched my personality perfectly. He went above and beyond to change the design half way through and order special parts and didn't charge extra for anything even with the short timeline. It's so special to wear my mother's diamonds and gold that she wore for over 50 years. Thank you so much Mark for making me the perfect wedding ring!"

"Mark is a true artist and expert jeweler. He was able to take a design I had drawn out and a few other ideas and craft the perfect engagement ring. The ring is stunning and we have such peace of mind knowing that Mark stands behind his work, and will take care to ensure it lasts a lifetime. I highly recommend working with him!"

"An artist manufacturer, that's who Mark is. What you need and want is what you get. A true master craftsman, indeed. Friendly, and will guide you through the process of getting what you're there for. Lifetime service, but Mark does it right. Check it out."

"Mark is a jeweler extraordinaire! If you want a delightful bespoke ring creation consultation and design, there's no one better in San Diego. Very low pressure and deeply knowledgeable educational experience, he designs the ring right in front of you, but do be warned, his charm and creative inspiration will have you putting down your card by the end of the visit out of pure excitement to bring your new ring into reality ASAP. We were even still a bit skeptical as we weren't sure his existing examples were "delicate" enough but now we bow down to his expertise in understanding exactly what we wanted or maybe more so what we NEEDED and we now own an 'heirloom level' two piece wedding band that simply steals the show. All for the price the Jared sales rep earns in just commission selling you an overpriced pre-made boring cookie-cutter band. You won't regret working with Mark!"

Great work, great guy

"I came here for my wife's wedding ring, and we couldn't have asked for a better jeweler. We had general ideas in mind (emeralds making a sort of flower petal shape, diamonds on the band, heart shapes you could see through, and a mirrored version for symmetry). Mark drew up several designs based on our descriptions, until we landed on something we really liked. He borrowed (and cleaned) the engagement ring to fit a handmade model of our design to it. Mark was able to make a couple rounds of edits to the model to really make it perfect. He gave us our official quote and asked for a pretty reasonable deposit as he needed to order a few more triangular emeralds. After a couple weeks, Mark showed us one ring of the set, and mentioned that the emeralds ordered were nicer than what he had on hand. So, he had gone ahead and ordered a few more of that quality to make sure it matched and didn't raise the quote despite the increase in production costs. He completed the set, and we are 100% satisfied. It's held up phenomenally over the past nine months, and my wife gets tons of compliments on it. If we ever wanted to create another piece of jewelry, we would definitely come back. Thanks Mark! "
