When you get engaged, everyone says the same thing, "I have the BEST jeweler." So where do you start? In our case, we called everyone and visited all the referrals. Everyone said something different but no one seemed to really be listening to our needs and wants. My fiance was given a ring from his dad. We wanted to keep the diamonds and recreate something more new age and I wanted a simple yet classy and diamond filled half band. We walked into Mark Patterson's shop and immediately knew we found the right place. Mark and his wife took the time to meet with us, ask us what we wanted, inspected my fiance's dad's ring and then created the most epic wedding bands of all time. They were perfect and the quality was better than we could have imagined. They even engraved our bands and allowed us to borrow jewelry for our wedding. We were treated like family, and left as royalty. My best advice to those looking at jewelry is, you get what you pay for. Pay a bit more for better quality and expertise jewelers. You won't be sorry. read more

Mark and Judy's work is amazing! I did a lot of shopping around for engagement rings and nothing comes close to the quality you'll find here. The feel & finish of Mark's work is 10/10, one reason being it's all done with top-of-the-line equipment in his killer studio here in CDM. Mark and Judy were incredibly helpful when selecting the stone and walked me through the ring design with such intricacies! The designs Mark can dream up and create are amazing! I really enjoyed the expertise and personal touch Mark and Judy both brought to the table, they were a joy to be around and they made our engagement so special! Thank you Mark and Judy! Bri and I are coming back here for life read more

Mark Patterson - Jewelry Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We truly cannot have been more happy with our experience getting our wedding rings at Mark Patterson! Having never bought fine jewelry before, we were not sure what to expect, but we felt so comfortable from the first time we walked in. Both Mark and Judy helped us find both my engagement ring and our wedding bands, and were so transparent and kind throughout the whole process. We quickly learned how meticulous and detail oriented Mark is, and that each piece of jewelry is carefully made on site there. We also felt that their prices were so reasonable compared to other places we looked at - especially for the quality. We cannot recommend Mark Patterson enough to anyone that we know! read more

My boyfriend and I had been discussing getting engaged. We agreed to look at rings together this way he had an idea of what I wanted. He surprised me Valentines Day and took me to Mark Patterson Jewelry store. We met the owner (Mark Patterson) and he was soooo helpful and walked us through the entire process making it so easy and effortless! I didn't have to do much but say what I liked and from there on the communication was between him and my fiancé. My ring is absolutely gorgeous, I get compliments all the time and would totally recommend anyone who is looking for a good quality ring to go here. Best of luck on your engagement! read more

I am so happy with my entire experience with the team at Mark Patterson! Mark, Judy and everyone else were so great to work with. I went in with my fiancée looking to get wedding bands. For her, we needed to find something to match her unique engagement ring. I, on the other hand, have never worn jewelry and needed a lot of help to find something that I loved and felt comfortable wearing. From start to finish we received the highest level of service and attention to detail. With my fiancée, even though the engagement ring was not made by Mark Patterson, they made sure to get all the necessary measurements so that they would look similar when worn together. Also, because the engagement ring had a hexagon shape, they showed us various options to help us find complementary pieces. When we got the ring, we were amazed with the results! It looks as if all it was all purchased as a complete set! The finished product was so perfect that I had to hide the ring from her to keep her from wearing it before the wedding day! As for me, I was a little tougher to please. Thankfully, Mark and Judy showed me so many different ring shapes, sizes, designs, materials, and finishes that I was truly able to customize it exactly how I wanted. By the end of the visit, I ended up choosing a 7mm wide platinum ring with a florentine finish that really stands out from other rings I've looked at. Even though we were told that the rings would be ready in about 3 weeks, we got the call in just 2 weeks that they were ready. Their quality was exceptional and everyone who we've shown them to thinks that they are absolutely stunning. We would definitely recommend Mark Patterson to anyone who is in the market for high-quality wedding bands--or any other jewelry, for that matter. We could not have picked a better place to find rings that we will treasure forever! read more

I went to Mark Patterson to reset my engagement ring. Although my original was beautiful, it kept losing stones and the jeweler my husband bought it from said that was just the way it was with my style of ring. As well the center Diamond was very high set and would snag on gloves at work, on clothes, even my kiddo's delicate skin. For years I stopped wearing it until I had a lovely meeting with Mark and he created the exact ring I wanted: simple, elegant, durable. I am thrilled with my new ring and the beautiful work he did. Thank you! read more

Mark Patterson - Diamond engagement ring and wedding band - Jewelry Near Me - Newport Beach, California

What can I say about Mark Patterson besides he's so kind, helpful and knowledgable and so is Judy, who you'll also likely encounter. We originally bought my engagement ring here and didn't have the largest budget at the time. Mark had so many diamonds brought in for my now husband to look at and choose from that were within budget and helped him pick a GORGEOUS stone. Fast forward 4 years and I was ready for an upgrade. Not only were Mark and Judy so helpful, they looked for several stones again within budget, cut and clarity and never once made me feel pressured to get something. He is truly a one of a kind and has also helped me set diamonds from other rings into beautiful settings I can wear daily. You will not regret coming to Mark to purchase your ring! read more

Mark and his wife are fantastic. My then-fiancé and I went in to the shop thinking it would be the first of many places to visit. Your friends tell you that buying an engagement ring is a daunting process and that you need to visit multiple places and solicit quotes, blah blah blah. Not with Mark Patterson. Mark sat down with us and wanted to hear our story, and learn about our personalities. He asked if we had ring styles in mind, and you could tell he was excited about some of his designs that he thought we'd be interested in. He also took note of my wife's skin complexion and went over what each metal provides and how they blend on the hand and with other rings. He was an excellent guide and teacher. We felt really comfortable with expressing our wants for the ring, what our price points were, and what our timeline was looking like. When I went back solo to buy the one I wanted for her, I really appreciated working with Mark's wife on the final cut. In fact, there were two options in front of me, one was considerably more expensive given the carats, but Judy wasn't pushy or salesy on the pricier one. I of course ended up going with the bigger one ;) In the end, I got my now-wife a beautiful engagement ring that gets compliments all the time, as well as very nice and elegant wedding bands. We even had Mark put a custom inscription in mine, which was super nice and looks great. Mark also offered to provide my wife with any jewelry she wanted to borrow for our wedding, which was incredibly kind. And, each time we popped in to the shop he'd polish up our rings and have them looking brand new. Needless to say, Mark Patterson was our first and last stop on our engagement/wedding shopping, and we proudly recommend Mark Patterson for any jewelry needs. read more

Where to start, Mark and Judy are absolutely awesome! While I never thought I would be a guy who has a family Jeweler, here I am and this is the only place I will go. I was hesitant at first when shopping for rings in the Newport/CDM area as, although I had been saving, my price range was not what may be typical of the surrounding cities. I had planned on using the center diamond from a ring my dad had gotten my mom on their 10th anniversary, that ring she wore for the next 25yrs until my parents renewed their vows at their 35th anniversary. In those 25yrs, I had witnessed unwavering love between my parents through happiness and sadness, through prosperity and hardships. To say this ring and gesture meant a lot to me would still be a massive understatement. True to the feeling my soon-to-be fiancé and I went into two places on my way down PCH, the first jeweler didn't give us the time of day. The second jeweler told me that my parents diamond was "too small and not that good of quality" they also told my fiancé-to-be that her choice of metal (yellow gold) was "out of style" and to "trust us, she wants white gold". We politely said we'd think about it, and walked out. We then went to Mark Patterson. Seemed boutique and luxurious, I didn't know what to expect. Initially a guy walks up and starts talking to us, I told him what I wanted to do (using a family diamond) and it almost seemed as if it brought him equally as much joy to use it, as it did me. My soon-to-be fiancé told him that she likes yellow gold and asked his thoughts, to which he said "It's timeless. Classic. Most importantly, it's what you want and you'll love it forever". He then spent the next, I don't know how long, endlessly asking every question possible and showing us ring after ring. He even pulled a similar size diamond from the back to show us exactly what mine would look like on each setting. Half way through I realized, I was rude and never introduced myself or got his name. I said "Oh by the way, my name is Chris" he said "nice to meet you Chris, Mark Patterson". We were speaking to THE guy the whole time!!! I asked about the diamond out of curiosity, he said "let me clean the ring and check"...mind you the ring had been stored away for who knows how many years. He comes back and says "this diamond is near perfect, come take a look!" Brings me to a microscope and gives me a mini lesson in diamonds and where this one sat on the scale. Quite a difference from the place before. Here's the funniest thing. When we walked in, my (now) wife knew the rings she wanted...personally it wasn't my choice, but it also wasn't my ring. During all this ring showing and with no coaxing from either Mark or myself, my wife ended up choosing an entirely different set of rings all together. And it was a ring that I absolutely loved and to this day, I still catch her looking at and she'll say "I just love this ring so much. It's everything I wanted my ring to be and I never knew it". The rings truly are classic, timeless and beautiful. This ring gave me 2 very proud moments. The first when I proposed and and seeing my fiancé just stare and look at the ring for hours with a smile on her face. The second when we showed my parents and watching both of them tear up, to even my dad saying "it looks better there than it did 25yrs ago". The ring, the experience, the emotions captured were something that even as I write this, kind of balls me up a little. Thank you Mark and everyone. read more

Mark and Josette are wonderful people and do absolutely beautiful work We recommend them at the highest level of satisfaction read more

We recently had our wedding bands created by Mark. My engagement ring band was hard to match because I didn't want to go with two bands (one on each side)... I just wanted one ring. We made an appointment with Mark to explore options and he brought to life a ring we had imagined that was not currently in his show room. Words cannot express my gratitude and how happy we are with how the band turned out. The level of service we have received from Mark and his family is impeccable. I recommend Mark Patterson for all jewelry needs, regardless of budget. read more

A little over a year ago, my hand swelled to the point that my Verragio wedding ring set had to get cut off. I've spent the last year trying to figure out what to do! Verragio wouldn't help me and the jeweler we purchased from is in the Bay Area. After extensive research, I finally found a local jeweler that had great reviews, beautiful craftsmanship and most importantly I was able to trust!! After a few short weeks, I picked up my gorgeous rings, both were repaired, resized and polished! Thank you so much to Mark Patterson Jewelry for your craftsmanship!!! I wanted to give him a huge public THANK YOU!!! I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of a quality jeweler!!!! read more

Love this place!! My friend introduced us to Mark Patterson and we could not be happier. He is very skilled at what he does and I am in love with my engagement ring. We highly recommend him!! read more

I finally decided it was time to pop the question to my (now) wife. I had no idea where to even begin to search for a ring. I was your average lost guy. I went to the jewelry exchange and some other big named stores in the mall. They all felt the same, like they were trying to sell me overpriced items. I felt awkward at each one of them. I decided to look at boutique stores and I saw an advertisement for Mark Patterson Jewelry. I went in, spoke with Mark, and the rest was history. I immediately felt comfortable when I walked into their awesome CDM store. I told Mark what I wanted and he took his time explaining everything to me. I confidently picked out a ring without having any input from my lady. The ring turned out amazing! It's just a solitaire but it shines like no other and the compliments continue to roll in. After such a great experience with the engagement ring, we ended up going back to get our bands. We both picked out bands which also turned out amazing. I even had to have my ring resized about a month later which Mark did without a blink of an eye. While we were getting our bands, Mark and Judy graciously offered to let us borrow a piece of jewelry for the wedding. My wife ended up picking out a pair of beautiful earings and wore them as her "something borrowed". It was very kind of Mark especially since our wedding was in Mexico. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out and will probably go to Mark for all my future jewelry needs. The customer service is incredible but not to be outdone by the beauty and quality of his products. I highly recommend visiting Mark Patterson Jewelry. read more

Amazing service and beautiful designs! My husband bought me a gorgeous ring made by Mark for our 25th wedding anniversary. Fast forward 14 years and I realized that I had lost a small diamond out of the band. I happened to be in Newport Beach on Wednesday, so called to see if I could bring my ring in for repair. Not only did Mark open early for me, but he refused to charge me AND I just got my ring back via Express mail today - 48 hours later! I love my ring and am always receiving compliments on it, so it was so nice to actually meet the artist (since it had been purchased in a jewelry store in the Midwest). More than that, I am so heartened to meet a jeweler of this level of integrity. You can bet that I'll be back! Thank you, Mark!!! read more

This 5-Star review is LONG OVERDUE! The day we spoke to Mark and Judy back in January, we knew they were the perfect people to work with on custom designing our dream engagement ring. Everything turned out flawless and the final design was absolutely one of a kind! We will be back soon! read more

Mark was a pleasure to work with! He helped me design a beautiful engagement ring that my fiancé absolutely loves! Mark took the time to explain the nuances of the particular cut I was interested in and provided his expert opinion on some of the other design aspects of the ring. I could not have found a better jeweler to help me through the daunting task of purchasing an engagement ring for a significant other. Thanks again Mark, I truly appreciate it! read more

Mark and Josette are just kind, generous people! They have been donors to the nonprofit I work at, Orangewood Foundation, for many years so they were the logical choice for me when I needed to get an engagement ring. Mark and his team listened to my goals and offered great suggestions to me during the design process. After he did a lot of research of specific stones, he flew two diamonds all the way from New York for me to examine. I was so pleased with the stone I selected and the engagement ring setting was perfect as well. The best part is my fiance loved the ring!! It was so refreshing to make a purchase of this size and not experience any pressure or "upselling". I would highly recommend Mark Patterson Jewelers to anyone looking for a high quality jewelry coupled with exceptional service. read more

You were very lucky if you had the opportunity to have your rings made at MP with your own diamonds. I had a ring made with my stones six years ago. I had a half band made, and wanted to have more diamonds added and have an eternity band created for our anniversary this year. I was sadly advised today that Mark's policy has changed and customers can no longer use their own diamonds. I met Mark when he was in NH- his jewelry is so beautiful. I only wear my MP band- as unfortunately when we upgraded my engagement ring, from a local so called "exclusive" NH/VT- VBJ- locations jewelry store- we trusted them, but now know we really overpaid and we were sold a very poor quality, cloudy stone- I am so devastated about this- and don't even wear it. We trusted this jeweler and are now afraid to even buy another ring. It is so imperative to have trust in a jeweler and shop around. read more

My fiancé and I bought our wedding bands here as well as my engagement ring. Mark and Judy were very kind and helpful through the process. We never felt pressured to purchase anything and the rings are beautiful! I would recommend this place to anyone thats looking for jewelry! read more

Mark Patterson and his team are absolutely incredible! Not only is the jewelry as sturdy and as beautiful as it comes, but it is topped only by the incredible service they offer. I am a first time jewelry buyer, at 22 years of age, but not once did I feel judged for my age, my lack of knowledge, or my disheveled appearance (I am an archaeologist who came in wearing dirty field clothes). Mark Patterson and Judy Jensen have the utmost professionalism and the most friendly demeanor. I told Judy my budget over email (without ever making a phone all) and she helped my find the perfect setting and an even more perfect diamond while staying right in my budget. They had two diamonds shipped from New York in two days so I could view them. Mark Patterson himself showed me the diamond under the microscope and explained it's specifications, and he even sped up the setting process of my order so I could have the ring in hand to ask my girlfriend's (now fiance's) parents on a trip to Arizona. I have no complaints about this store; only endless amounts of thanks and praise. Thank you, Mark, Judy, and staff! read more

Mark is amazing, a truly gifted jeweler! I cannot recommend him enough, he creates the most beautiful designs with the most high quality materials read more

Several months ago, a pear-shaped sapphire fell off of my wife's engagement ring. The ring was insured and we filed a claim that listed Mark Patterson as our preferred jeweler (not because we had ever done business with Mark, but primarily because they were conveniently located and had helpfully cleaned the ring a few times). A few days later, I received a call from Mark. Although he hadn't ever received an insurance claim quite like this, he invited me to bring the ring by. The service that followed was extraordinary; truly above and beyond. To begin with, Mark located a beautiful pair of sapphires to replace both the lost stone and the remaining one (to ensure they matched perfectly). He managed the insurance process with minimal hassle. And, as a result, the ring is more beautiful today than when I bought it. But Mark went far beyond simply replacing the ring. Upon examining the ring, he noticed that the GIA diamond certification number was missing. Without missing a beat, he undertook several hours of additional work to (1) scour the diamond for any trace of the number, (2) to confirm that the diamond matched all the attributes of the GIA report, and, finally (3) to work with GIA to have the diamond re-engraved with the correct certification number. Absent all this work, it would have been impossible for me to every again verify whether the diamond I purchased was, in fact, the diamond on my wife's ring. I cannot speak highly enough about Mark and his team. Quite honestly, I have never received better service than I did here. A fact made all the more remarkable because, up until this point, I had never before purchased or done business with Mark. So, as I said: exceptional service that went above and beyond in every respect. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. read more

I went through the process of buying an engagement ring and Mark was such an incredible help. With his innate knowledge of custom settings and vision of what you are looking for, he knocked it out of the park. Everything is made on site and he takes you through the whole process, even sending daily pictures of the ring being made. Excellent customer service and so friendly. If you are ever in the market for Jewelry or watches I would highly recommend going in to see Mark Patterson. Thank you guys again for making this experience so incredible!!!!!! read more

10 Stars! Wonderful experience all around! Thank you Mark and Judy so sweet and helpful they really made the engagement experience extra special. My fiance and I shopped around together for engagement rings- our last stop was Mark Patterson and we knew that was the place. Judy found the perfect diamond for me, more beautiful than I ever imagined. We got a little lesson on diamonds and jewelry design. It was special and memorable. My ring was ready in one week and I still can't stop staring at It! Thank you!!!!!! read more

I can't say enough about how pleased we our with the quality and craftsmanship of our rings. A special thank you to both Mark and Judy...great work! read more

My husband had my engagement ring custom made out of state. So when I had to get it resized, we needed to find a local place and took it to Mark Patterson. Mark was there when we brought it in. He was so kind and helpful, and showed us how to "identify" the center diamond so I always know I'm getting my correct ring/diamond back if ever left to get cleaned/repaired with a jeweler. A year and a half later, I needed to get it resized again. Two days before my wedding, Mark met me before the store was open to look at my ring. He and his team were amazing and went above and beyond to resize and clean my ring and had it ready a few hours later. For giving such great service to is when they didn't make our ring, was such a testament to the amazing people they are. I highly recommend Mark Patterson and won't ever go to another jeweler after wonderful experiences with them. read more

I can't speak highly enough about the product or the people! Of all the purchases we've made during our engagement/wedding process, this was my most enjoyable experience from start to finish (and after the purchase, too!). I had no idea what I was looking for in an engagement ring at first, but I found out there are so many beautiful possibilities. Judy helped educate me and showed us ring after ring. Mark taught us some things about our diamond, too, which was fun. What I appreciated most about Judy & Mark is that they really wanted to get it right down to every little detail (even the exact sizing I needed) - not only is Mark a wonderful, meticulous artist, he's also great at communicating with his customers. I ended up selecting something I never would have thought of initially - and I'm so in love with it! I'm as excited about it today as I was when my fiance gave it to me 8 months ago! Thank you Mark Patterson & team... I can't wait until I add some more sparkle down the road. read more

If you are looking for a custom jeweler that produces high quality pieces, then Mark Patterson is it. I wanted a custom engagement ring that had the craftsmanship of what you would find at Cartier or DeBeers. I searched throughout Los Angeles and Orange County but was not satisfied until I stepped into this store. I had an idea of what I wanted and Mark designed a ring that exceeded my expectation. read more

I would recommend Mark Patterson to anyone without any hesitation. Both Mark and Judy helped my fiance and I find the perfect engagement ring and wedding band, which I am very happy with. Mark has impeccable taste and his designs are beautiful, unique and timeless. They paid attention to every detail and led us through the process with a lot of patience. And most of all, their customer service is wonderful. They have a beautiful shop and spend as much time you as needed. Every couple should pay them a visit! read more

I found Mark Patterson's website while doing a search for engagement ring ideas. His designs are fresh and standout from the cliche styles. I discovered his showroom and design studio was in the area of my workplace, so I visited it one day during my lunch break. Upon first meeting Mark was friendly and proud to show me his portfolio. I learned that he does bespoke projects and one of his specialties is color stone gradients. I love color and we then began work on a custom design. He created a 3D model which we reviewed before I have the approval to make the actual ring. My fiancée/now wife loves it! After having such a great experience with Mark, we returned to him to make our custom wedding rings and this spring had him make some custom earrings for my mom in honor of her 75th birthday. High recommended! read more

Mark was great. Very informative and honest about the whole industry. He stayed within my desired budget. Perfect jeweler with fantastic knowledge. Made the process very easy! read more

Mark, Jossett, Judy and team are incredible! We just can't say enough about how amazing they are! My husband first worked with Mark to design my custom engagement ring. It turned out flawlessly and so incredibly special because it's unlike any other ring. After that, we knew we were going to have our bands made by Mark as well and again we were beyond happy with how they turned out. Everything is done in house which is also a huge plus. The atmosphere when we walked through the doors made us feel instantly comfortable. We stop in often and it's always such a pleasure to see them. Their service is impeccable. Not only does Mark provide beautiful work, but they are all truly friendly, kind people who truly care about their customers. We will be going to Mark Patterson for years to come! read more
