Mark was so intuitive in listening to the vision of my new ring. He continually made us feel at ease with each step until he felt he had made my exact vision. Truly. My new ring is beyond what I had hoped. It is exquisite perfection. I would entrust Mark with all of our future jewelry needs!

Top notch jeweler! Mark not only did an amazing job on our custom pieces, but went the extra mile to get it done with short notice for a special occasion. Now we own a real master piece and so happy we chose them!

The experience of shopping at Mark Michael Diamond Designs, a small family owned business, was great from start to finish. Very unique designs, personal service and above all great quality jewelry. I'm so pleased with my new ring - it is like nothing I saw anywhere else! Thank you Mark and staff - I LOVE it!

This was an amazing experience! I was looking for a more personal experience from a jeweler I could trust with jewelry that has a lot of sentimental value to me. I have my moms wedding ring and I took it to Mark Michael's jewelers because I wanted to have it remade into an anniversary band he did such a beautiful job he was able to reuse my mom's gold and we put the diamonds in an anniversary band setting he showed me pictures and had a free consultation, then he made a prototype for me.

I mentioned I would like to have it before I went home for Thanksgiving but I knew his schedule was very tight and I said that is ok I can wait, no problem. Well, Mark surprised me and had my beautiful ring ready for me before I left for Thanksgiving. He knew how important that was to me and he went out of his way to make his customer happy and feel appreciated.

Mark Michael's Jewelers understands their customers needs and goes above and beyond for them. You will not be disappointed if you come here. Not only can he redesign jewelry but they have a beautiful selection of high quality diamonds and gemstones. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!

I currently live out of the United States and heard of Mark Michael Diamond Designs through a friend. I planned to propose to my girlfriend on a holiday trip back to the United States. But this meant that I needed to work with Mark and his team virtually. It couldn't have gone any smoother. I described what I was looking for in rough terms, and then Mark sent me multiple ideas.

We continued to discuss and narrowed down to the design my fiance is currently wearing. He sent the ring to the location I needed it in the States and kept me informed every step of the process. He took time to answer my questions and alleviate any concerns I had. The ring is beautiful and I couldn't be any happier with the service.

It's hard to decide where to begin. This was a truly special experience picking out our wedding rings and designs. Mark was incredibly patient with my indecisiveness and my lack of experience with men's jewelry. He was a consultant, teacher, and gifted artist through the entire process. If you want a big box store experience with inflated prices, go to any other chain jewelry store. However, if you're interested in something truly special - and at a far more reasonable price and tremendous value - then you must check out Mark Michael Diamond Designs!

My now husband and I were looking for a creative, unique engagement ring that would fit our tight budget. Mark and staff welcomed us immediately. Mark cared about us as a couple and was very genuine and caring. He is very passionate, honest, and knowledgable in his field and is respectful. Being new to the fine jewelry world, Mark took the time to explain all the details and answered all of our questions.

My husband and I found an engagement ring unlike anything we had ever seen (and we must have went to at least 9 other jewelers). We were a little worried about staying within our budget, but Mark put all worries at bay. He told us our options and even e-mailed renderings of different versions of the ring with different views and different size/shape diamonds.

Custom work, just for me, at no extra charge. When we went in to hand select the center diamond, he went the extra mile to make a cast of the actual design. We were so happy with our choice. Mark finished the ring ahead of schedule (during the busy holiday season) so I could show it off to family I was visiting out of state! I look forward to working with you again. Wouldn't have chosen any other jeweler.

I'm so very excited to have my new creation from from Mark Michael Diamond Designs. Mark did an excellent job listening to my likes and dislikes and created a beautiful ring from the diamonds I have inherited over time. It is unique and perfectly matches my personality. As I look at my creative ring, I think of every person I received a stone from. Thanks Mark! You are incredibly talented! Can't wait to see the necklace you create!

My fiance and I had a wonderful experience with Mark. He truly went above and beyond for us and helped us design a custom engagement ring which is truly special given that so many of the other jewelers supply generic designs. We are beyond thrilled with the end result, and love that Mark was able to flawlessly incorporate my grandmother's center stone.
