Today, Mark Allen Jewelers is known for wedding rings and fine jewelry, but are you familiar with our history? Mark Allen Jewelers was established in the heart of beautiful Downtown Santa Rosa in 1990 by owner Mark Allen. Mark, a second-generation jeweler, grew up in the jewelry business and has well over 40 years experience in fine jewelry and diamonds.
Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond. The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes.
Some people want to buy the biggest diamond possible. Is this always the right choice? The larger the diamond, chances are the more inclusions it likely has, and because it's larger, these inclusions are typically even more visible than on a smaller diamond. But most importantly, if the diamond cut isn't proportioned correctly, it won't return the maximum amount of light through the top of the diamond. This illustrates that no matter how large the diamond, its cut and proportions determine how brilliant the diamond really is.
Solitaire settings are great if you have a stunning singular stone that has been passed down through the generations as an heirloom, many choose to display it in a classic Solitaire setting. This setting generally allows for the maximum amount of sparkle by allowing light to pass in through the bottom sections of the ring.

Mark Allen Jewelers are the pinnacle of local jewelry stores. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the jewelry, products, and services that they offer. They also dedicated an immense amount of time and effort to making sure that my Fiance and I vetted through every option and fine detail prior to purchase. Literally no stone went unturned (pun intended!) All the praise and glowing reviews are well deserved, as Mark, Nate, and Felicia made what would otherwise be a stressful and difficult experience absolutely worry and hassle free. Also, they just happen to be some of the kindest and friendliest local retailers I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Thanks Mark Allen Jewelers!

Mark Allen is the best jewelers store ever! The employees are incredibly knowledgeable and do not try to push you into buying something you don't want. I bought my fiancee's engagement ring and our wedding bands here and I'm sure there will be many more purchases in the future because they make you feel like family. Felicia and staff are so friendly and respectful; you won't find a better jewelry experience anywhere else!

I can't rave enough about Mark Allen Jewelers! Loved everything about them. Felicia, Mark, Nate all were so kind, professional, and honestly felt like family. They take the time but also the extra step -thoughtfulness- in really finding what you truly want as well as can afford. Not only that, the quality here is spectacular, pristine, and clearly superior.
After seeing rings in a few different stores, you begin to notice differences and you see that the selection at Mark Allen is of the absolute best. I kept coming back to Mark Allen, it had become the store I compared all else to and the others didn't measure up. I ended up ordering my ring here and it was PERFECT! (I admit having a bit of a panic attack at one point bc I couldn't visualize how I wanted it to turn out but I was reassured that it would be perfect - BECAUSE- they took the time to get to know me and what I would honestly want at the end of it). I truly loved them so much and highly recommend purchasing any jewelry from Mark Allen. Thank you so much Mark Allen!

My fiance and I had been looking at wedding bands for months. I don't consider myself a picky person but for some reason, we just couldn't find anything remotely close to what we were looking for. until about 60 seconds after we entered Mark Allen Jewelers. The team was so incredibly welcoming and informative without being pushy at all. Their inventory speaks for itself. 10/10 would recommend!

I have been a customer of Mark's for over 40 years. That in of itself should tell you something about the level of customer service that he and his staff provide. Nate is every bit s awesome as Mark. Whatever you are shopping for, they can help you find it, or design it. This is the only place that anyone should think about buying jewelry of any kind. Here's to doing business with Mark Allen Jewelry for another 40 plus years.

Look no further and go see Mark Allen! My fiance and I had such a wonderful and seamless experience with purchasing my engagement ring and our wedding bands. We opted to go the custom route, Mark designed our rings based on our visions and they were stunning! The customer service we received was exceptional. They truly treat their customers like family. We can't wait to come back for all our anniversaries to come. Thank you so much!

I was recommended to Mark Allen Jewelers by a close friend who knew I was beginning to look for engagement rings. Upon arriving to Mark Allen I knew absolutely nothing about diamonds and admitted so to Felicia, the person assisting me. She promptly helped me figure out my price range and educated me on the scales of clarity and color and how they affect the price.
She then proceeded to present me with a multitude of diamonds that were appropriate. At no point did I ever feel like they were trying to up-sale me, like I've felt with other jewelers, and were very respectful to my price range. Of course, the end product is absolutely stunning! Thank you Mark Allen Jewelers for making this moment perfect!
