He also has a very nice selection of sapphires, in all colors. We got our engagement ring appraised here and Deepesh was very honest and knowledgeable. He was very transparent with the process, and showed us how he appraises each aspect of the ring. The whole process was done in front of us and took around 20-30 minutes. He was also honest with us about specific drawbacks of the sapphire we got that allowed us to buy it at that price. Overall, I'm happy to hear that we paid a very fair price for the ring and learned more about sapphires from him. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their jewelry appraised or to buy gemstones. Additional info: in addition to appraisals, I believe he also does jewelry repairs, gemstone sourcing, custom jewelry, and sells ring settings.

We specifically chose Mark Schneider because of its reputation as a fine jewelry establishment and…read moreexperience with custom jewelry. We were looking for someone we could trust to resize my custom engagement ring shortly before our wedding. Unfortunately, our experience made us leave almost immediately and take our ring elsewhere, I'd make sure you do not trust them with your custom jewelry. We initially called and were greeted very warmly over the phone and told to come in so they could take a look at the ring. The woman who greeted and assisted us in person was friendly, but once the other woman came in, I don't even think she introduced herself...we started discussing the actual resize, the experience became concerning. My engagement ring has two diamonds set inside the band at the 6 o'clock position. Preserving those diamonds and their placement was one of our biggest concerns, and we explained that. There was essentially no discussion about how the resize would affect them or how they would be protected. She simply took the ring and began making notes. Then came the sizing. I know approximately what size I wear, but the "6.5" sizer I was given was so tight that I actually started questioning whether I had been wrong about my own ring size( she did not give me the correct 6.5 sizer) . She also measured my existing engagement ring and confidently told us it was a 7.25. We knew that was not correct and have the original GIA/documentation for the ring. At that point, we became extremely uncomfortable leaving such an important piece of jewelry there. We were also eventually told that the jeweler who would actually perform the work would not even be in until Tuesday. Yet we were discussing leaving my engagement ring there and being given a Saturday completion date without having spoken to the person doing the work, without a clear explanation of how the custom diamonds would be handled, and with both my finger and existing ring apparently being sized incorrectly. My fiancé asked, can she try on a ring to see, she simply mumbled we don't CARRY RINGS OF HER SIZE. A fine jeweler doesn't carry any 6.5? Even an estate ring? Once we asked? So are we just leaving it here she said, yes? I immediately took my ring back. We were also asked outright how much my engagement ring was worth, which felt surprisingly inappropriate and uncomfortable. especially standing there with my fiancé. If there was a legitimate insurance or liability reason for asking, none was explained. The jeweler we ultimately trusted with the ring never needed to ask us that question; they evaluated the ring itself, reviewed the relevant documentation, discussed the custom work with us, and focused on the actual resize. When we left and went elsewhere. The difference was immediate. An actual jeweler correctly measured my ring ( very different size than at mark Schneider) helped me determine the best finished size and fit, discussed the two interior diamonds and confirmed how their placement would be preserved, reviewed the ring documentation with us, and gave us a clear completion date. That is the level of care and confidence we expected when handing over an engagement ring. Resizing a custom engagement ring requires PRECISION and TRUST. When an establishment presents itself as fine jewelry, I expect the person accepting a client's jewelry to either have the knowledge to properly assess it or simply say, "Our jeweler isn't here today; please come back when they can personally evaluate your ring." We came in wanting to give a local business our business. Instead, we left feeling relieved that we trusted our instincts and did not leave my ring behind. Based on our experience, I would not entrust an important or custom piece of jewelry here for repair or resizing or at all. What makes the experience even more disappointing is that the resize wasn't necessarily going to be our only business with Mark Schneider. We were also interested in discussing a custom men's wedding band. We specifically sought out a fine jeweler with custom experience because we wanted a relationship with someone we could trust with important pieces. After this interaction, there was simply no chance we felt comfortable moving forward with either.

There are certain places you walk into that instantly feel different…read more Not because of the jewelry. Not because of the price tags. Because of the people. That's exactly how this place felt to me. I originally walked in looking for a gift for my wife an engagement ring upgrade a wedding band, resizing her ring, and getting a watch worked on. But what I walked out with meant a lot more than jewelry. I found craftsmanship, honesty, and people who truly care about what they do. Wade & McKay treated me like family from the moment I walked in. No pressure. No sales gimmicks. Just real conversation, years of experience, and pride in their work. You can tell right away when a business is built on passion instead of transactions. And it made me think about something... Life moves fast. Too fast. We spend so much time working, stressing, and waiting for "someday" that we forget to celebrate the people we love and sometimes even ourselves. Buy the ring. Buy the watch. Buy the gold chain. Celebrate the anniversary. Create the memory. Because one day, those pieces become more than jewelry. They become part of your story. Something your children and grandchildren may one day hold onto and remember you by. That's what makes places like this special. They're not just selling jewelry. They're helping people celebrate life, love, family, and milestones that actually matter. Life's too short not to enjoy something beautiful. If you've worked hard for it, wear it with pride Thanks guys for having me feel like part of the family.
