We highly recommend Hand in Hand to anyone looking to happily surprise themselves with customed designed jewelry. Save yourself time and do it the right way-contact Marc! more

I can't thank Marc enough. He made the impossible, possible. He flawlessly re-sized my very intricate Hawaiian heirloom bracelet. That was no small feat! He also restored the enamel lettering to its once gorgeous state. It only took me 25 years to find a craftsman who could handle the job. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results! He is also responsible for creating the most beautiful engagement and wedding ring set for my husband and me. I wish CitySearch allowed ten stars for reviews. HAND in HAND is worth every single one of them. more

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. more

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. Pros: unique design, high quality materials, customer service more

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 brilliant to have a company that WANTS you to know everything from your materials options to where all that money is going. It is really astounding what they can do with a few rough ideas of what you would like. For all of you guys trying to surprise your girl, I highly recommend Hand in Hand not only because you will get a one of a kind piece, but also due to Marc?s ability to take a few details about a person and make something they would truly love. Lastly I just must say that you won?t find another jeweler who genuinely cares about you and making your engagement and/or wedding one of the most wonderful days of your life. I adore my ring and we will most definitely be going back to Hand in Hand for my fiance?s wedding band. I hope you will make the intelligent choice and give Hand in Hand a call, you won?t regret it! Pros: Flexible, sincere, beautiful pieces Cons: Not a one more

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. more

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! more
