HAND in HAND custom jewelry design

Working with Marc was amazing. If you're thinking about custom-designing a piece of jewelry for your loved one, whether you have an idea of what you want or not, HAND in HAND is an excellent choice to make.

I knew that I wanted to get my wife a wedding ring that was custom designed, but as someone with little artistic talent I was overwhelmed with the prospect of trying to draw something up and bring it to someone to design. My (now) wife had read about Marc and HAND in HAND on the web, and we scheduled an appointment with him. It was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for: someone with artistic talent, a friendly attitude, and extremely meticulous attention to every detail. But most importantly, Marc made it clear that while he would be happy working on something concrete that I would bring him, he was also interested in learning about us, our interests, and our love for each other, and working that into a design.

We met with Marc for 3 hours at his home, sharing drinks and talking about

My fiancee chose Marc to design my engagement ring after we looked at a number of other jewelry stores together. I had a hard time getting excited about what seemed to be the same designs in every store, and even the other custom jewelers we talked to in the city didn't spark my interest that they would make a truly special custom piece. Then we found Marc. My fiancee worked with him 1:1 (without my knowledge) to create my engagement ring. After seeing so many rings that just we're me, I was stunned and amazed when he presented me with my ring that it was perfect for me! Marc is so talented, creative and best of all passionate about getting to know his clients personally and creating pieces which really reflect his customer's unique personalities and characteristics. He also cares so much about craftsmanship, and explains the entire process and all the materials in great detail.

It is so special to have a truly unique ring to symbolize our relationship. And even after the design process is over,

Where do I even beginning to describe what an amazing and personal experience Marc made designing my engagement ring. My fiance and I had been to numerous fine jewelers in the hunt for a ring and all of them left me feeling there was something lacking. When I ran across Hand in Hand?s website, I was excited at the prospect of getting something more unique, but I had no idea what was in store for me when my fiance and I went in for our first consultation. Not only was it a completely painless process, I had a blast talking to Marc, and the sheer genuine interest he had in what I was hoping to do and who we are as a couple completely blew me away. If you are looking for an amazing, unique, high quality, and thoughtful piece of jewelry look no further. Marc?s straightforward manner is really refreshing, since so often you leave a jewelry store feeling like you have spent time in a used car lot. He is more than happy to go into every detail or the process, and if you are a stickler for details like myself, it is

I was searching the web for engagement ring information when I ran across the Hand in Hand website and I knew that this was the company I wanted to design my girlfriend?s engagement ring. The quality and attention to detail were apparent in the beautiful and unique designs in the gallery. I contacted Hand in Hand and had an initial consultation with Marc that lasted at least an hour. He asked me lots of questions about my girlfriend and me.

I had some initial ideas for the ring design which Marc listened to, but really wanted his expertise in designing something unique and beautiful.

I appreciated Marc walking me through every step of the process and answering all my questions and alleviating all my concerns. Marc did an excellent job of meeting my deadline even juggling the schedule at the end to make it happen.

When I first saw the finished ring I thought it was stunning, any reservations might have had vanished the instant I saw the ring. In spite of being involved in every aspect of the ring design I s

We decided to go with Hand in Hand because we looked for a long time in jewelry stores across the country and could not find rings that we would want to wear for the rest of our lives. We wanted to love our rings. Adore them even. We have been together for almost 10 years and the decision to have a wedding was monumental for many reasons. We wanted to find rings that spoke to the strength and uniqueness of our relationship. Buying pre-designed rings just did not fit for us. We began to look for ways to customize our rings and interviewed some San Francisco ring designers. Our meeting with Marc at H in H was exciting because we realized that the ring design would be a collaboration of his ideas (and expertise, great quality workmanship) and our own ideas. The final result is brilliant. The diamond placement and etching are superbly executed. Marc is caring, loving and talented. We are very happy!
