We expected to leave it for hours or even days, but Mark was there and immediately took care of it in his on site workshop.

We are so grateful and will absolutely be coming back.

Mark Allen Jewelers has my full trust--no questions asked. I walked in on a whim and had the…read morepleasure of speaking with Felicia, who immediately made me feel welcome, heard, and never rushed. My husband and I have been married for over 12 years, and we had been talking about redesigning my wedding set for quite some time. Felicia was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the process, helping me narrow down what I wanted--and just as importantly, what I didn't want. She was also very mindful of my price range and never showed me anything over budget. In fact, she often kept me under budget, which made the experience even better. Mark was also wonderful and very helpful throughout the process. When I felt stuck or overwhelmed by all the different settings, Mark and Felicia were patient, supportive, and helped me get back on track. Looking at so many options can be overwhelming, but they made the entire experience feel easy, enjoyable, and truly special. Since I wanted my husband to be there for the final decision, we came back together the next day. Even though I thought I had already found what I wanted, something still felt like it was missing. In true overthinking fashion, I decided to start over--and Felicia could not have been more patient with me. I never once felt rushed or pressured; I could genuinely tell that she wanted me to be completely happy, no matter how long it took to find the perfect set. When I finally found the one, I started crying because I knew it was meant to be. Mark chimed in and assured me it was beautiful and that he would find "the perfect" stone for me. He was not kidding!! Wow. About a month later, I couldn't stop thinking about adding a hidden halo. Although I felt a little silly calling weeks after we had finalized the design, I reached out to Felicia, and she was once again so kind and reassuring. Between Felicia, Mark, and A. Jaffe, they made my dream ring a reality. It took a little extra time, but it was absolutely worth the wait. When I went in to pick up my rings, Mark and Nate helped me, and they were just as wonderful. They truly make such a great team. The experience felt so natural and personable that it quickly became about more than just jewelry--it felt like working with people who genuinely cared. I will forever be grateful for the entire experience and for my flawless new bridal set. Thank you all!

I suggested to my fiancé who was lifelong friends with Dolly that we sell it to buy nice wedding bands for our wedding.

After being left in tears from that experience, I was hesitant to let my ring go to just anybody so I had a lot questions and of all the jewelers I called, Ken was the only one to graciously answer them all. He understood my frustration and through his explanation of what the ring needed to be fixed, I knew he genuinely cared about getting my ring back to how it was and making me happy again. I felt confident that he could get the job, and boy did he! My ring not only actually fit, but it was put back together, and my heart couldn't have been happier! Ken and his staff were so incredibly helpful through the entire process. Recently, I needed to get my ring sized up and without hesitation I took it back to Design Jewelers and picked up a perfectly fitted, extra shiny ring! So happy to have found a jeweler I can trust! Anyone looking to have their jewelry CARED FOR by a PROFESSIONAL, I would highly recommend Ken at Design Jewelers.

He confirmed my suspicions and suggested an alternative setting. Here's the best part: I had brought in a bag of random loose diamonds with me that I had been accumulating over the last several years. In addition to the stones already in my original (flawed) wedding band, he was able to sell/trade all of these diamonds in order to provide me with TWO identical wedding bands! And, he did so at an unheard of low price! The rings are spectacular! If that wasn't enough, as a bonus he took a diamond necklace of mine that had been sitting in my jewelry box (unworn) for 2 decades and transformed it into a stunning set of diamond hoop earrings! He is amazing and loves to give new life to old and forgotten jewelry. You can be sure I'll be going through my jewelry box again to see what other magic he can perform! I'm so impressed with his professional but personal customer service. Greg is such a nice person and I 100% recommend him for all your jewelry needs!
