"Mark was excellent! He resized my ring perfectly. We also consulted with him for custom wedding rings. He listened to our needs and is very knowledgeable. Pricing was broken down and fair. In the end we decided to go with something made by the original designer of my engagement ring, but I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anybody seeking resizing or custom jewelry."

"What can I say about Mark, his passion and his work, quite a lot actually. I first approached him about incorporating my fiancée’s heirloom diamond into a new ring. Mark walked me through the design process and in the end its beauty is unrivaled. His artistry and technical skill make this something we will have trouble passing onto our own kids one day. We then approached him about designing and creating my wedding band. I wanted a design inspired by Lichtenberg Figures, which while certainly a first for him, did not dampen his enthusiasm for the project. Mark again made the design process a breeze and his mastery brought a ring to life I only had seen in my dreams. Finally Mark worked to reconfigure a pendant we received into a different chain/fastener configuration and for the third time, he nailed it. He always showed us his friendly nature (we always left with a smile on our faces), amazing design/technical ability, very reasonable prices for materials/labor, and most importantly a feeling that Mark would do anything to make us happy. We have recommended him many times to friends and family and will continue to do so for a long time. If you have read this review, do yourself a favor and choose Jewelry by Design."

"I went to Mark for an Engagement Ring. I do not know anything about jewelry, but he was very accommodating, transparent, and easy to work with. After the ring was done (and she said yes) she wanted some changes. I was a little worried - I didn't want Mark thinking we did not like his work, but there were some items we wanted moved a bit. He accommodated everything we asked in the same gracious and open way we spoke at our first meeting. His pricing was also very reasonable and transparent, which I appreciated quite a bit as well. I am looking forward to another reason to go back for another beautiful piece, and have recommended a few of my friends do so already. Thank you Mark!"

"Mark was super helpful and professional in helping my fiancé create my wedding band. My fiancé wanted to make my wedding band out of his purity ring and Mark was able to accommodate by cutting the rings band width in half horizontally and resizing it to make it into a women’s wedding band, flawlessly. He was able to keep original elements of the rings design and incorporate them into the new band. We honestly did not think it would be possible to get done what we had wanted but he made it possible and exceeded our expectations immensely. We will definitely be returning for any other jewelry needs."
