I would like to first thank you for your professionalism and patience while I chose the ring for my fiance Leticia. While going through so many rings that I wanted to see, you made the process and selection much easier. I am very happy I choose a Marks Schneider design for such a special day, which will last a life time. I took Leticia to a water fall, thirty minutes away north of Santa Barbara. She had no idea I was going to propose that day, since she only knew we were going to take pictures, which our friend Mildred who is a photo journalist was kind enough to capture the moment. The moment I asked the question, she was surprised, happy, joyful, and began to cry since so many emotions came to her at the same time. As soon as she saw the ring, she loved the selection I had made, and I could not ask for such a joyful moment as soon as she reply "Yes". I wanted to share some of the pictures of the moment, because a visual image can tell more and speak for itself. I also want to thank you, the makers of the ring, Mark Schneider and everyone else who was involved throughout the process of the beautiful ring.

Mark, Sorry this is so late, but I wanted to thank you so much for a beautiful ring! After looking at countless rings over many weeks, they all began to look the same. I saw one of your designs on the internet and realized that your rings were different. With no input from Alli (my new fiance) I picked the Embrace ring at EE Robbins in Seattle and she absolutely loved it! Not only was the ring incredible, but the services was amazing. I needed the ring a few days before it was scheduled to be done and when I came in to ask if that was possible they just gave you a call and let me talk to you. It was awesome to actually get to talk to the designer of the ring and you not only got it to me faster but sent Alli and I an autographed copy of your jewelry book. I can't thank you enough. We will be in touch soon about the matching wedding band and we'll have to check out your men's rings as well. Thanks again!

I wanted to tell you thank you so much for my beautiful ring. I knew I wanted a Mark Schneider ring for about 5 years now. We looked at many other jewerly stores and your rings were always on the top of my list. My now finace actally went to the jewerly store on the day you were there. Which I found amazing! He brought my mom with him, since we were using the diamond from my grandmother's ring. You did an awesome job creating the eternity ring from my grandmother's diamond. This meant the world to my to have something of hers, but now was included in the ring I always wanted. I enjoyed the book and the pictures of you making the ring also! I was very suprised to get the exact ring I wanted after 13 years of my fiance and I dating!! I can't wait to order the wedding band to have the complete set! Thank you for making such beautiful and unique rings, and making my ring very special to me! Nicole

I knew as soon as I put one of your rings on my finger that it was the one. It was the same when I first started dating my now husband, I knew he was the one right away. We went ring shopping together and when we left the jewelry store he knew that it was the one I wanted because I was jumping up and down as we walked to the car. A few months later he proposed. Then, a few months before we got married the matching wedding band came out, it matched beautifully! I have gotten so many compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of my ring. Thank you for creating such beautiful artwork that expresses our unique love!

-Alicia


I had to add my heartfelt thanks for the most stunning ring I have ever seen! I fell in love with Amore the moment I saw it and although I picked out several possible settings, my fiance chose Amore for my engagement ring. He surprised me with the ring on April 24 at a romantic picnic in Central Park, New York City. He had created a beautiful DVD slide show of picture of us growing up and of our life together, which culminated in the magic question, "Will you...?". Seeing my gorgeous ring nestled inside the jewelry box was the icing on the cake! This ring is the epitome of style and grace; we both feel that it is the perfect complement to our love story. Thank you for your beautiful craftsmanship and superb design ability! We couldn't be happier and can't wait to look at wedding bands!

I bought a ring for my girlfriend (now Fiance) and decided to pop the question. Long Story short she said "Yes". From the moment I saw the ring I knew that it was the one to get. She absolutely loves the ring, She waited 6 years for the ring but she said it was worth the wait. After looking hard for about 4 months I saw nothing that would mean something other than being just an engagement ring. But the ring I slipped on my girlfriends finger is more then just an engagement ring its symbolic in more ways then one. Also I would like to give a big "Thank You" to Donna who helped the process of getting the ring, she has made my future wife to be and I very happy. A very grateful and heartfelt thank you!

I cannot express my satisfaction with my ring that was purchased from you all. We ordered the 'Escape' engagement ring and matching band. Many people have commented on how unique and beautifully simplistic it is. I absolutely love it. Thank you all for your work and excellent customer service. I tell anyone who asks to look up your website!

The moment I saw "Bedazzle", I knew in my heart that my search for the perfect wedding ring was over. I had found it and my boyfriend (now fiance) agreed. Your classic, elegant, and unique style was exactly what I was searching for. I had intended to purchase the ring in all white gold. However, when I tried it on in Wedding Day Diamonds in MN, it was in the white gold/yellow gold version. I fell in love and had to have the combo ring. The two-tone style combined with the unique setting has gotten "ooohs" and "awwws" from everyone who has seen this ring. People have stopped me in stores to comment on how unique and beautiful my ring is. I am so proud to own a Mark Schneider ring, and honored by the care and love that you put into each one. I truly feel as though I am wearing a piece of art on my finger every day. When I look down at my ring, I am surprised over and over again by how much I love it! Now if only I could find a men's wedding ring to match my own, I would be in heaven!

-Casey Wagner


Every ring that you make is symbolic and we are gladly reminded every time someone comments on the beautiful ring set. Very often family, friends, and even complete strangers make note of the beautiful rings and it takes us back to the engagement in Venice and wedding in Banff. Your rings refresh the memory and excitement of the time, the beauty of the locations, the family and friends we had around us, and the love that we feel for each other. The rings are more than just symbols of our love; they are symbols of the wonderful time we had in starting our lives together and how everything has worked out perfectly.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt “thank you” from both Daniel (my finance), and I. In case you’re wondering how it happened. He proposed to me on Jan.24. I was feeling particularly sick that day so all the weird things he was doing went unnoticed. He decided to take me to my favorite snorkeling spot at some lagoons, however, that day the water was very murky and you could barely see past your hand. When we were in the water he called me over to see a shell he found in the water, so I swam over to see his flippers disappear under the water. He emerged with this huge shell and says, ‘wait, I’m going to open it.’ Now, it did occur to me at that moment it would be impossible to shuck a shell in the water but since I was sick I overlooked it. Anyway, he opened the shell and inside it said, “Will you marry me” with this beautiful diamond ring attached on the bottom shell. My heart just dropped and I let out a huge scream of bubbles since I was looking at it with my mask underwater :) . I got my head out of the water, took off my mask and said, ‘of course!’ The date is not set yet, but we will definitely be getting married on the Big Island in Hawaii. I love my ring, and I still can’t stop looking at it, it’s sparkle is so beautiful!!! I think Mark Schneider makes the most exquisite and unique rings! Again thank you for all your help and honesty. Aloha!

-Amy Eng, soon to be Mrs.Malakie


I wanted to pass along a thank you to you for such a great ring! My husband and I got married in August and I have had my Moonglow design ring since March. I love the complements that I get and the ‘Oh’s and Ah’s’ about how they have never seen anything like it! Its exactly perfect for me. Thanks for your time to create and design my ring and band so perfectly.

-Crystal


I gave the ring to her two weekends ago and she absolutely loved it! She still can’t stop talking about how much she loves its design, and the color of the stone!
I just wanted to send word on how much we appreciate (love!!) Mark’s work!
Hopefully Mark will be in the DC/Annapolis area again so we can start work on drafting a design for the matching band. ;)

-Mike


I just wanted to thank Mark for creating such a stunning custom wedding band for me. We met in fall at WR Chance, Annapolis, MD, and you created a band to compliment my Mystic engagement ring. I picked up my ring today and I couldn’t be happier! It is more stunning then I ever imagined. Thank you also for taking the time to amke sure the two rings were a perfect fit. Your work is exquisite and I only with I didn’t have to wiat to wear the wedding band! Thank you again for making something I will truly treasure for the rest of my life.

-Larisa


I just got engaged two weeks ago, and am now the proud owner of your Amore ring. I cannot describe how absolutely stunning it is! My fiance described to me how they match the size of the diamond with the right proportion of ring, it’s amazing! I have received so many compliments, the diamond is gorgeous, and the sparkle is just incredible; I swear it even glows in the dark! The quality is wonderful and I love the special heart, it’s like a little secret love between me and my new fiance! I hope everyone looks at your rings before making their decision, you have unique designs that they don’t have at normal jewelry stores. Thank you for making my engagement absolutely perfect! I have something that reminds me how how much we love each other every time I glance at my hand.

My name is Abe and you recently designed and created a ring for my now fiance Lindsey through Orin Jewelers in Northville, MI. Your website says you treat every piece you make as a piece of art. I look at art as an investment that I can cherish forever. You did an amazing job creating exactly what Lindsey wanted and the ring looks amazing on her finger. It is amazing how well you did on it just by using photographs of other rings that she liked to create the perfect ring. You truly are an artist and the one of a kind piece of art that I get to look at every day on my fiance’s finger makes me know that my investment in this ring was well worth it. She is in the medical field and there are a lot of very nice rings out there. She has doctors complimenting her on her ring every day. Finally, I wanted to thank you and your staff for being able to design, create and deliver the ring I wanted in such a short amount of time. I had no worries that I was getting the best product that I could get for the best woman in my life. Lindsey and I thank you for everything that you were able to do for us.

-Abe Prescher


I wanted to thank you and let you know she said yes … Whew! … “Loved the ring,” she cried. Everyone she shows is so amazed. They comment on how beautiful it is and are impressed with the meaning behind the design. We are going to come in to discuss wedding bands soon. Thank you so much. Please let Mark and the rest of your fabulous team know that we are extremely happy and grateful so much care and skill went into the making of our very special ring. Leigh said it best, “If you could compress the love and depth we feel for each other into a single expression, it would be this ring.”

-Darin
