I had an idea to make an engagement ring out of a special piece of pottery for my girlfriend. This clay piece was from an ancient civilization dated about 2,000 years ago. After visiting several jewelers, I was feeling very discouraged. They were not willing to work with a piece so soft and fragile and told me it was pretty much impossible. Mark, however, took the challenge and made a beautiful engagement ring. He covered the pottery piece with a clear sapphire to protect it and yet made the red clay shine. The design turned out to be perfect for a unique and special ring.
Mark was wonderful in creating a custom engagement ring for my fiancé and I. He took an heirloom ring from my grandma, and with my input and his creative vision, created a beautiful ring I will treasure forever. He created a ring with both an antique and modern feel to it, and uniquely mine! His attention to detail is key if you are looking to find a unique and timeless piece. The whole process was professional and he was fast on the turn around! Thank you again Mark
I cannot say enough good things about Mark and his business. Mark was incredibly helpful in creating a special, one of a kind ring for my husband when he was picking out an engagement ring for me. My husband has no knowledge of rings or jewels but Mark was patient and helpful in creating a design from the limited vision and information about me and my taste that my husband provided.He can make anything from the most basic jewelry (like my husbands ring) to the most custom jewelry (like my engagement ring and wedding band). He was also able to create a beautiful ring from some diamonds my husband provided from his late grandma and had matching ones to supplement the rest of the ring. I love my rings, the meaning behind them and working with a professional like Mark to help us make decisions but also allow us to personalize with our own ideas when applicable. He will also provide lifetime cleaning to us when needed.
We recently came to Mark with the hope of reworking a family ring into something new. He took my very basic sketch and applied his refined and elegant aesthetic to it. He created an exquisite piece of wearable art with such finesse, I would not hesitate to work with him again. Thanks so much, Mark!
For a few years, I wanted a white gold or platinum cigar band & decided to finally treat myself to one.Im a tough critic yet was impressed by Marks reviews & creativity; so I chose him to make it.Bottomline: The ring is what I been waiting for (style, finish, comfort, metal, width, engravings, & feel-goods of jewelry-making) ... Ill wear it for a long time.I love my ring.
Mark was very helpful when creating a unique thoughtful wedding band for my husband out of my husbands grandfathers wedding ring. He was very thorough, creative, and timely. He truly created an amazing ring for my husband and it was a pleasure to work with him. I would highly recommend him for you jewelry needs!
Cannot say enough kind things about Mark, his eye for detail and excellent craftsmanship. He has an excellent assortment of gemstones and was able to acquire the perfect shade of purple sapphire I was looking for for my wedding ring. Mark was very easy to work with throughout the whole planing process and came up with the most gorgeous Art Nouveau- inspired result. I am proud to get to wear such quality art on my hand my whole life.
I came to Mark with an idea about a heart pendant for my wife’s 45th birthday. He had a drawing back to me within hours. I met with him later to set parameters or size and budget and he designed a pendant that was beyond amazing. There’s nothing out there to compare with the design and craftsmanship that Mark put into this pendant. We collaborated throughout to come up with a design that I can say was unique. Thank you Mark, I will see you later for the matching earrings.
Look no further!! Mark is the expert designer you want for your special treasure. He had taken a disastrous experience with a different jeweler and made a MASTER PIECE that will be forever treasured and passed down for future generations. Thank you Mark - you delivered and the referrals will be coming your way as well as future treasurers we need redesigned.
I had a custom ring made by Mark utilizing an untraditionally cut gemstone. He did an amazing job in taking our feedback from the consultation and created and absolute work of art. Mark as since helped repair jewelry that others failed to repair successfully. A true artist and craftsmen.
Mark did a fantastic job on an engagement ring and tailored it exactly to my specifications. I highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for something special and unique.
Mark did a fantastic job taking a family stone and setting it into a beautiful necklace for my fiancée. He went above and beyond my ask and expectations to create an heirloom worthy piece. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a custom jeweler.
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 can not recommend any jeweler more than I can Mark from Jewelry by Design. As a prospective fiance I was very insecure about finding/designing the best ring for my proposal. Based on reviews online and after reviewing his instagram and website I decided to make an appointment. Mark truly listened to me and he made my vision come alive. I was insecure about my budget and he ensured me that he just needed to know the range he could work within and that he would make sure the end result was great no matter what. Mark came through on his promise. During the whole design process he was communicative and he did not stop until we had created a ring the FAR exceeded my expectation. My fiance wakes up every morning staring at her ring and telling me she could not have imagined a more beautiful piece. I will be back to design wedding bands with Mark soon :)
Very professional, I had my parents wedding rings sized, diamonds added and redesigned. The rings far surpassed my expectations. Highly recommended.
I found Mark when I thought I lost my engagement rink and I wanted to make a replica . Mark listened to me for 2 hours as I was trying to remember the design of my ring. I later found it and Mark polished it without charge. I had another ring which was too small, and Mark sized it for a very reasonable price. I had a great experience at Jewlery by Design.
What a great experience! My future fiancée and I had been looking for quite a while. She really wanted something different and unique. Mark at Jewelry by Design understood and showed us some options based upon her thoughts. His first option was perfect. Mark has been doing this a long time and knows what he is doing. A caring, thoughtful craftsman at his trade. The complete customized ring experience was beyond our expectations. I would recommend Mark and Jewelry by Design to everyone I know.
Mark was absolutely amazing! We had a custom ring made out of my boyfriends wisdom tooth with diamonds set within in. We were very worried about the structure of the tooth breaking, but he was extremely careful. He drilled down into the tooth to anchor the diamonds in the metal so they wouldnt budge. Mark is a true artist. He took such great care of us. Thank you, Mark!!
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.
Absolutely fantastic jeweler! Mark delivered beyond my expectations with a necklace pendant he sketched out based on a few sentences and vague descriptions over a phone call. His design was impeccable, worked on a tight timeline and went so far as to hand deliver the final product on Christmas Eve! My wife was so please with the result we are going back for him to do some work on an heirloom piece tomorrow.
Jewelry by Design has more than just beautiful pieces. Theres an incredible feeling of value and rarity in each piece of jewelry. These earrings I purchased are well constructed and have a complex hue in the stone. I will be back!Updated- we are back to resize a wedding ring for our 10yr anniversary!
Mark did an A-mazing job! My soon-be-to husband met with Mark to costumize a Mickey engagement ring. I was blew away from the ring when intially saw it, but more so when I saw that there were Mickeys added in a subtle way. Absolutely love love love my ring. Im definitely coming back for any jewelry pieces I need in the future. I will be recommending all my friends to go to Mark for their engagement/wedding rings.
I cant 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.
Jewelry by Design on was our first stop in searching for wedding rings. We didn’t need to go anywhere else. I absolutely ADORE Mark. From the moment we walked in, He was eager, excited, and open to the ideas we had in mind. He most definitely made us so happy, by customizing to my husband and I’d desires for our wedding rings. They turned out insanely gorgeous. My full review is on his website, I will keep this short and sweet, but overall, this was an amazing experience, and you can’t get jewelry this.
When my husband and I got married I wanted to get him a unique, custom ring and we came across this idea to do an R2D2 ring (he’s a massive Star Wars fan). I found Jewelry By Design and met with Mark who knew exactly what I wanted for my husband! He over exceeded my expectations with every little detail and carefully placed stone! My husband absolutely LOVES his ring! Mark was such a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him for any custom jewelry project!
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 have so much appreciation for Mark, its difficult to convey in an online review. I browsed lots of different options for where to go for my girlfriends engagement ring. Many seemed generic, impersonal, and/or unreasonably priced. What stood out to me from Marks reviews and his website were his authenticity, beautiful custom designs, and how he engaged his customers. (Also his reasonable pricing.) From our first interaction, he exceeded even these high expectations. My girlfriend and I are a bit nontraditional and we worked together with Mark to design her ring. Mark listened carefully to our preferences (including our desire to have a lab grown diamond) and we had a lot of back and forth about different possibilities. And- the ring that he ultimately designed for her is breathtaking. It is as beautiful and unique as she is. It includes a complementary wedding band that fits with it perfectly (together, the two look like a single, balanced and cohesive ring), and hes now in the process of designing my own wedding band and engagement ring (like I said, were a bit nontraditional). I feel incredibly fortunate that we crossed paths with this person; for the most meaningful purchase Ive ever made, the stakes couldnt be higher and Mark knocked it out of the park. Mark, thank you so much for everything; we both feel so grateful and lucky to be able to wear your artwork for the rest of our lives.
Working with Mark was an absolute joy. I had received some heirloom opal jewelry from my grandmother, and my fiancé and I wanted to use the stones to make a a set of custom, organic, Art Nouveau inspired rings that would serve as both our wedding and engagement rings. We wanted something that we could someday pass down to future generations...something lasting, of beautiful quality, and unique design. That is exactly what we got. I’m an illustrator by trade, so I can be very picky and my tastes tend run on the...complicated and unconventional side. I was very worried I would not be able to find a jeweler up to the task...After talking with Mark the first day, I knew I no longer had any reason to worry! He was definitely up to the task - and even seemed genuinely excited by the challenge. I came to Mark with a few design ideas- some I pulled from the internet and altered to suit my needs, and others I just sketched up myself. Together we work-shopped a set of rings that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. He listened intently to what I had in mind, offered his own suggestions, and was very focused on making sure that all the details were consistent with what I was going for. He sent us updates with photos of the rings in progress along the way and was more than fair and upfront with all the payment details. He let us make a payment plan that worked within our time frame, continued to allow us to trade in jewelry our families had donated to offset the cost, and was always friendly and professional. Plus, I was quite impressed with his gem selection and speedy turn around! Honestly I just cannot say enough good things. Everything from start to finish was absolutely perfect...I am just so grateful. Our rings are so beautiful and unique - truly a stunning display of love, craftsmanship, and artwork!
I absolutely loved working with Mark on my engagement ring! I am very passionate about the ocean and my fiancé and I were able to design a beautiful jellyfish inspired ring for my piece. Mark was great at working with us and adjusting and showing us new molds as we tweaked it to make it exactly what we were looking for! It came out so unique and stunning! We would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to work on custom jewelry :)
I cant say enough about how great my experience was working with Mark on my now-fiances 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.
Mark Beauchamp and Jewelry by Design have completely exceeded my expectations. Mark was absolutely wonderful to work with and crafted an engagement ring for my fiancé that blew us away! He also produced the ring ahead of schedule so I could propose on a special date. I will definitely return for any jewelry in the future. Greatly recommended!
After years of unsuccessfully looking for a very specific pendant I decided to design and have it custom made. After deliberating on the pros and cons of an online vs. local jeweler, I went with Mark. Im extremely happy I did for a whole host of reasons which are too long to list in this review, but here are my top three. First, Mark took the time to understand the symbolism behind the design, my primary purpose for creating it. When I wore the pendant, I wanted to be reminded of a piece of wisdom I never want to forget. Second, Mark was very patient and accommodating. I was very specific about several design elements, some of which did not work once I saw the initial mold. I cant stress the value of interacting with the mold in-person, something that would not have been possible with an online jeweler. In the end we made changes, some of which Mark suggested, that made the second mold, and final product better than I had originally envisioned. Lastly, Mark is a true craftsman, and at the end of the day, that is why you get things custom made. I very highly recommend Mark, and Jewelry by Design.
My husband and I were looking for an artist to create a unique set of rings for our 25th wedding anniversary. Mark took time to listen to both our ideas and helped us to craft individual and complimentary one of a kind rings. His care and time in designing the rings was wonderful and the final product is beautiful. We look forward to collaborating with Mark again.
Mark created my engagement ring, and my fiance and Is wedding band. My fiance had brought in black opals to be made into the rings. Mark was very attentive and inquisitive about my fiance and Is vision. He is very professional and gets things done in a prompt manner.The rings turned out so beautiful and I cannot wait to wear my wedding band when we get married. Thank you Mark!
I was looking around to buy a ring to get engaged to my girlfriend when I was told about Mark. I made an appointment to see him and from the beginning he knew exactly what I was looking for in a ring. He was able to draw a sketch and give me a really good idea of pricing that day. I decided to go with him and it was the best decision.The process was super easy and Mark constantly kept me up to date. He was able to make the ring and have it ready in a very short period of time which was super helpful for me. The pricing is really fair and he really helps you on payments. When I saw the ring, it was better than I could have imagined. When I proposed, my girlfriend was extremely happy and loves the ring that was made for her. Overall the experience was great and the work on the ring was outstanding. I would recommend seeing Mark and at least talking to him if you are looking to design some jewelry.
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.
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 didnt 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 the Jeweler was exceptional! I took a very sentimental, irreplaceable piece of jewelry in for some repair and he worked delicately and systematically to restore it to better than new condition. In a world of fast, cheap, and mass produced, it was refreshing to find a true craftsman.While my repair was simple for him, he still took the time and patience to make sure it was done correctly and beautifully.If you are considering a custom piece, I would highly recommend his services.
We recently got engaged and looked around the San Diego area at different jewelers. Mark was BY FAR the best - he was extremely helpful, professional, and honest throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone - his experience/knowledge trumps all other jewelers in the area and he is not in it to rip anyone off. Thanks again Mark!
Mark is an amazing craftsman and a true professional. He guided me in designing a truly unique engagement ring using materials from a family heirloom. To be able to create a fine piece of art from a hodgepodge of old material took skill beyond comprehension. Beyond that, Mark had been extremely easy to work with regarding alterations and cleanings. Working with Mark had been a dream come true.
I was referred to this wonderful artisan by a friend who used his services in designing some jewelry for him and his wife. Mark is a straight shooter like myself, honest in his words and explanations, and very accommodating. On top of that, he has the wonderful skill and patience to create one of a kind pieces from just mere ideas.In my case, I wanted to create two new wedding rings from scratch because I had lost mine three years ago. It was the perfect moment as our 14th wedding anniversary was coming up and I wanted to surprise my wife.Mark listened to my ideas and instantly crystallized them on paper. I loved what he presented, and he took the time to tweak them with my feedback. On top of that, I placed the entire project on a very tight deadline, which he beat by two days!And on top of that, I also included a side project: replication of a ring very dear to me and my wife of which he made to exact replicas two days before the deadline after I communicated to him that they did not need to be done by the same deadline.I value attention to detail, originality, creativity, and utmost detail in dealing with clients, as I do with my own clients. Mark met all of my expectations and he far exceeded them. Thanks Mark for creating one of a kind pieces that will live forever with us.I will certainly use Mark for other creations in the future. He is THE artisan jeweler you want for your custom jewelry project or projects; whatever that is, Mark will blow your mind.
Mark, what a journey we have been on together!In December of 2014, my husband and I stopped by your shop. We had a beautiful diamond that needed a more beautiful setting. You showed us some of rings you were working on. One caught my eye! You looked closely at our stone and my hand and told us that you were certain that you could create a setting I would love. We told you some of the specific things we wanted and you assured us it was possible. We wrote a $500 deposit check and went on our way.We lived in Honolulu and would not be back to San Diego until May of 2015. As you promised, you began sending us pictures of the setting as it was being developed. In April of 2015, you sent an email and said you were looking forward to seeing us in May. On May12, we arrived at your store and you showed us your work. The ring was beautiful. You said you had about eight more hours to finish the work. On May 14 we picked up the ring. Let me say, you are an artist! We love the ring!!It is a classy piece of work. You are definitely a true artist! The brilliance of the diamond is highlighted by the setting you created. We appreciate your skills, your integrity, and the very special diamond ring you have created for us. Thanks for being able to work with our timeline! Greatly appreciated. THE BEST!!!
I highly recommend Jewelry by Design! My wedding ring needed to be resized and Mark did an excellent job. He polished it up and made it sparkle like new too...it’s beautiful. So happy with his work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had been considering updating our wedding rings to mark our 25th anniversary. I was reluctant because we had put much thought into our original rings, and I didnt want to lose that design and all the memories that surrounded our originals. We met Mark when shopping for a pendant for a milestone birthday, and we quickly knew that Mark was the perfect jeweler to update our rings. He worked with us to craft two rings that greatly exceed our expectations. When we look at our new rings, we see simultaneously see the original designs and the new designs. Its remarkable! Not only is Mark a master craftsman, he is also an expert listener. We will trust Mark with all future jewelry desires.
Wow!!!!! Thank you so much for making my diamonds look amazing!!!! The transformation combining my engagement and wedding rings with my diamond earrings exceeded my expectations!!! You have combined these three jewelry pieces into a masterpiece!!!! I am thrilled that I can now wear all of the diamonds my husband has given me, everyday in this awesome setting! I am in awe of its beauty and your creative genius!! You were a pleasure to work with and we will definitely recommend you and proudly identify you as our family jeweler!!
Super easy to work with. Very clean and professional work. Always wants what you want. Fair pricing. Captured exactly what i wanted for my wife and she loves the ring! Highly recommend Mark!
Mark is my go to Shop in San Diego. He designed two custom pieces for me, both are exquisite. If you are looking for a one of a kind design Jewelry by Design should be your first and last stop.
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.
Mark is truly a master of his craft. My fiance and I came to him looking to get my ring made and I had some pretty unique needs. He was very upfront, honest and easy to work with and able to meet all of my needs. My ring turned out more beautiful than I could of every imagined. I loved it so much that I came back to him to get my fiances ring designed for our wedding. The end result was like nothing I could of every imagined. The detail and craftsmanship is absolutely incredible. I know that I will be coming to him for years to come.
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.
Mark made my first piece of custom jewelry, a tanzanite ring. From start to finish he was responsive, listened to exactly what I wanted, and delivered a beautiful ring. I cannot imagine an easier process and I am absolutely delighted with the finished product! I would definitely recommend anyone looking to have jewelry made to Mark, and I plan to continue taking my business to Jewelry by Design.
12/18/2014We had an excellent experience with Mark from beginning to end. We contacted him based on previous Yelp reviews and we continued to be impressed throughout the process. For our 20th wedding anniversary we asked him to create a matching band for my wedding ring. His confidence was reassuring and the execution of the requested ring was impeccable. Mark is a true artist and jeweler. In addition to straight forward pricing, he offers a most appreciated discount to military personnel. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are with Marks work. I look forward to having him create more fabulous pieces in the future!Follow up review 4/30/2015: We had a chance to use Marks services again. This time to make a pair of earring from some gems we were gifted from a friend. We took in several of the gems and Mark not only took the time to tell me the type and value of each he actually made a trade for one of the stones. Finished product was as great as expected. Pleased once again. Highly recommend!
I couldnt be happier with the Jeweler I picked! I went to a few different locations in San Diego but they really didnt seem to have the small personal touch I was looking for. I had several rings that I no longer wished to wear and I wanted to create something truly unique and just for me... Mark did not disappoint. He brought out books and pictures and we discussed art all to get a feel of what I am interested in and what I was looking for. I now have a beautiful heirloom piece that makes me feel like royalty.
Several years ago, I needed a jeweler to join two sterling silver cuffs together in order to make one sturdy cuff. I found Mark and he was happy to do this work for me. The sterling silver cuff turned out absolutely perfect, just like it was meant to be this way! Years later, the cuff is still perfect. I never take it off, except to clean it, so it endures all of the abuses from work, play, etc and still holds up beautifully.Recently, I had need of a repair on another piece, as the corpus fell off of my vintage rosary crucifix. Of course, I took it to Mark, who once again cheerfully accepted the challenge, even though it was an unusual request.Mark repaired the crucifix perfectly and I couldn’t be more pleased with his work, talent, skill and integrity.I highly recommend Mark without reservation for all of your jewelry needs.
I was looking get a new wedding ring for my 10th wedding anniversary and had been searching various stores for a while, but couldnt really find a ring that I liked nor really fit my personality. We sat down with Mark and I tried to explain what I was looking for. I didnt really have a concrete idea myself, but Mark was able to come up with an incredible design that I absolutely love. Mark created a design that fit exactly what I was looking for without me entirely being able to describe it to him. Its quietly masculine. Its subtle yet intricate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are extraordinary. It truly is unique and I love it. Marks aim is to make you happy and provide you with a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that you will enjoy for the rest of your life. The dedication to his craft shows.
I recently got my engagement ring resized at Jewelry by Design and had a great experience. Mark is very pleasant and professional with excellent communication. He works quickly and takes the time to inspect the jewelry he receives. I would highly recommend Mark’s services.
I went with my now fiancee to design her engagement ring. Shes very particular in what she likes and Mark listened to her. When we got the finished product, she was absolutely in love with it. Mark has an eye for detail and he discussed with her ways to make the ring better and it really paid off. We recently went back to Mark to figure out her wedding band. She had so much fun designing the band to perfectly complement her engagement ring. I love my fiancee and the smile on her face showed both Mark and I how much she loved the finished products.
Mark helped me design my wedding band using some of the diamonds from an heirloom piece from my grandmother. I had a very specific but difficult to describe vision for my ring, and the first version he made, while beautiful, wasnt quite as delicate as I had in mind. This was no problem, though- he happily made the modifications free of charge, and I love the result. I highly recommend Mark and will be back the next time I am in the market for custom jewelry.
Mark was wonderful to work with. My wife and I came to him with a fairly complicated idea for wedding rings. Not only was he excited about our idea, but after sitting and talking with us he came up with a number of suggestions that made for even better rings. He kept us up to date throughout the process, with sketches pictures and mockups. The final products were even better than we had hoped! We are thrilled with them. The whole experience was a pleasure. Thank you Mark!
I asked Mark to design a ring using my grandmother’s solitaire, for my and my husband’s 30th Anniversary. He was very patient with me when I wanted to make a couple of changes to the design. My new ring is a top notch work of art, and I can’t stop staring at it! Mark did a beautiful job!
Im so glad my friend introduced me! Since my mother passed away I wanted a special ring made with her stone. The setting is so unique, unlike anything Ive ever seen. Mark is brilliant and, indeed, made it very special. I will enjoy it for many years to come. I only wish I had known him when I had my wedding ring made.
Best jeweler on the west. So accommodating, honest, helpful, creative and even cute. We ONLY use Mark because he is the best!
Mark made a custom engagement ring for me and a mens wedding band for my fiance. On our first visit, Mark took the time to understand what styles I was interested in, and together we looked through many other rings hed created in the past to determine the specific features I wanted included. He took the time to obtain multiple diamonds for us to choose from, and created a wax model of my ring to set them in to help us make our decision. My ring turned out stunning, and I couldnt be happier with it.After my ring was complete, we focused on my fiances band. Again, Mark listened closely to what my fiance wanted and created a unique ring that was exactly what hed pictured. When my fiance discovered the size hed chosen was a little too tight, Mark allowed us to bring it back and sized it up in 30 minutes!Mark is an incredibly skilled craftsman as well as a professional business man. It was an absolute pleasure to go through both processes with him, and we look forward to working with him on the future pieces of jewelry! We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.
I had a very picky ring order and Mark created an exceptional ring. It looks great and was fairly priced. Highly recommend!
I had purchased a ring that was a dual-band with a repeating pattern on the inside and outside of both bands. I had also ordered it in the designer’s largest available size...which ended up being too small. Darn! I reached out to the designer to have it sized up, only to be told that they couldn’t do it. My heart was broken because I had a ring I absolutely loved but could not wear. What to do??Enter Jewelry by Design. Mark walked me through different options for sizing my ring with its particular challenges, and he ended up doing a CAD model of the ring in the right size and recreating segments of both bands so that the ring could go up to the right size without anyone being able to tell. When I saw the finished product, even I couldn’t tell that the ring had been sized...the pattern was perfect inside and out on both bands! And now I have a ring I adore and wear every single day. Thank you, Mark!
There is really not enough you can say about Mark.1. Extremely professional, welcoming and trustworthy.2. Honest pricing, very transparent about what things cost and more importantly, what they dont cost.3. Upfront with any and all dealings.My fiancé and I had her engagement ring made and my wedding band made by Mark. First off he goes to great lengths to make sure you get EXACTLY what you want. If he makes a wax model that your iffy about, he will scrap it and start over or modify it until you are completely satisfied.He is very committed to getting you the perfect ring no matter what.If you want cookie cutter rings that a thousand other people may be wearing, then go to the big box jewelry stores and get something that is not special at all. BUT If you want a one of a kind piece of brilliant craftsmanship, then come to Mark.Youre going to be wearing your ring for the rest of your life, so why not make it something that is a unique as the love you share with your partner? Let Mark handle it.
I walked in with a little rock & an idea. Mark & I sat for an hour and designed a very special birthday gift for my husbear. The craftmanship and detail of the piece are excellent. I would recommend anyone looking for a special one of a kind design start here!.
If I could give Mark 10 stars I would! He was extremely helpful, easy-going, and knowledgeable to work with and made my first jewelry purchase a breeze. I will absolutely be going to him for any other jewelry needs. My fiancé is absolutely in love with her ring! Mark, thanks again for everything!
It was a pleasure working with Mark! My fiance and I were looking to get a custom wedding band made because I have a vintage engagement ring that is a unique shape. Mark listened to our ideas and drew a beautiful design during our first meeting. He broke down what each part of the process would cost and his prices were fair and transparent. It then took him only a couple of weeks to make the wax model and create the ring. During the entire process Mark kept open communication, allowed us to be a part of the process, was flexible with appointments to accommodate our work schedules, and was professional and friendly. My wedding band is exactly what I was looking for, fits with my engagement ring perfectly, and is truly gorgeous. We would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for custom jewelry services!
WOW!!!!!! My 20th anniversary ring upgrade turned out way beyond my expectations. We brought my wedding ring to Mark with an idea in mind for a redesign. Mark took our ideas, pictures and current ring and transformed it into a jaw dropping masterpiece. I picked up my ring on time and have received compliments all day long. We shopped for a few years to find the right ring but never did. After reading all the reviews about Mark and his craftsmanship, we knew this was the route we would take and I am here to tell you, I would do it all again.Thank you Mark for making such a beautiful ring. You will forever be our jeweler.
Mark was very helpful in designing our custom pendants. Excellent work and very professional
I have some words for Mark!!Amazing, awe-inspiring, an artist, master craftsman...You get the idea, and he is also a very nice guy! Mark will work with you on any design you can imagine, if you have a thought or idea, he can draw it for you, make a mold, and create exactly to your satisfaction and specifications. Mark was able to create exactly what I wanted, except of one thing...it turned out 300% better than I could have imagined!I hope Mark will put the pendant we created on his web site so you too can see another piece of his art.Mark, you are a joy to work with, and I will be back with more ideas!Thanks for turning my concept into the best Christmas present ever, she was overwhelmed when she saw the pendant and chain!!Dennis
Mark designed my engagement ring and both our wedding bands. We went in with ideas of what we wanted and he gave suggestions and made them even better. He took molds of my fingerprints and carved them onto my husbands ring. He created my dream ring with three separate pieces, a green sapphire and diamond accents. People are always complimenting it (that sounds stuck up, but the credit goes to Mark). Anytime Ive needed it resized or cleaned, he is always happy to help. Our rings appraised for much more than he charged us and we couldnt be more impressed with his craftsmanship. Hes also a really nice guy and easy to work with.
Mark is an absolute lifesaver!!! My fiancé and I have come to him multiple times over the last few years for the design, appraisal, and cleaning of my engagement ring and every time we have received excellent service. This morning I managed to slam my finger (along with my engagement ring) in a door and I banged my ring up pretty good. It just happens to be a week before my wedding and you could say I slightly freaked out. I texted Mark right away and he said I could come over ASAP. I was worried that it wouldn’t be repaired in time but he fixed it within A FEW HOURS and texted me with a completed picture so I knew it was ok!!! If you are looking for a lifelong reliable jeweler who produces amazing products, Mark is the guy for you! (I provided a before and after picture and the band of my ring is a family heirloom and slightly older which is why the gold bent so easily).
If you are looking for a gifted and creative jeweler to craftfully create a stunning masterpiece of art work, look no further than Mark Beauchamp.
