"Let’s be honest here, when you are dedicating a piece of jewelry to mark a once in a lifetime moment, you want that piece of jewelry to be just as special and important as the moment itself. That is what Mark does magnificently. The only specs I started out with were a pear shaped, big center stone, white gold and a cushion. Mark took that and ran with it in the design of my engagement ring. He added so many special details I would have never thought to add. Such as having the center stone raised with such meticulous nature that the bottom of my high clarity morganite microscopically barley touches the casing it is mounted in. So difficult to describe so please refer to photos for a better ‘picture’. With my husband’s ring, I asked Mark to incorporate a center piece of wood into the band. He explained why that wasn’t a good idea (over time the wood can expand and ruin the ring) and then designed something I would have never thought of. He used a white gold band and actually hand drew in wood etchings to make the ring resemble a tree, and not just any tree but Koa wood (longer more continuous wood markings). He then added the black sapphires from one of my mom’s old pieces of jewelry and used that as the wood knots in the ring. The finished product is something everyone is stunned by and most importantly, it perfectly represented what we wanted in the ring as a resemblance of our relationship. Mark is not only a master of his trade in designing timeless pieces of jewelry but he’s also so creative, honest, detailed and fun to talk to. He actually gets excited about his new designs and you can see his enthusiasm in his design process every step of the way. He also provides you with several ‘prototype’ images as he begins his design process and keeps you involved and updated at every step of the way. He’s also so accommodating when it comes to payment options and was even able to take our older pieces of fine jewelry (family heirlooms), melt them down, incorporate the precious metal into our rings AND gave us the most honest price for the remaining goods. Mark is our jewelry guy, the one person I hope continues to make all the pieces of jewelry Tristan & I gift to each other one-of-a-kind unique, special and forever memorable."

"I can't even describe how happy I am that I went to Mark to make the engagement ring for my fiancée. It is the single best purchase decision I have ever made. The value of having a unique piece made just for us that incorporates feelings and themes from our life is worth literally 10 times the cost of the custom design. Mark made me feel like I was the artist (note: I am not an artist) in that he took my inputs (elements of my relationship, pictures of forms that I like, colors of our favorite sunsets) and captured the exact feeling I was looking for by using elements I never would have thought of. He was very open to feedback throughout until we nailed it. Thank you, Mark; we will treasure this forever."

"Wow. What an awesome place and an awesome and professional guy. Mark was able to size down a ring for me almost 2 sizes, with diamonds on the side, which is not an easy thing to do. And for a very affordable rate, he even offered to clean the ring whenever we needed, just because he took part in sizing it. He also showed us some of his recent creations for wedding bands (they were beautiful). no pressure sales which I appreciated. You can tell this man loves what he does, and he does a great job. Seriously go here, he will make whatever you want, and it wont destroy the bank."
