"The
best part about working with HAND in
HAND is Marc’s creative vision,

their work and unparalleled communication and

"The
thing we like best about working with HAND
in HAND is we very much enjoyed the
personal touch – having Marc come to our
house to explain his work and process. As a
result, we trusted Marc and knew that he would
come up with something we loved. This level
of service definitely brought a new meaning
to the whole engagement & wedding ring purchase.
It makes it more special knowing the person
who we were trusting to come up with a unique
and personally relevant design. We feel that
Marc really listened and took great interest
in our wants. As a result, our overall satisfaction
working with HAND in HAND can
only be described by one word - Excellent!"

“I
decided to work with HAND in HAND
given a friend of mine used Marc to design his
engagement ring. As soon as he told me the story
of his experience, I knew I was hooked. I told
Marc what my budget and timeframe were, and he
nailed both of them – and I got my beautiful,
one-of-a-kind creation. After participating in
the process and experiencing Marc’s enthusiasm,
it would be tough for any other jeweler to top
this experience.”

The
“Dripping Coral” earring design
is inspired by visions of being in the sea and
how sea anemone and the tentacles of jelly fish
both sway through the water as the currents
ebb & flow. Also, the reflection sun rays
make as they radiate into the depths of water
and moment by moment they burst into sparkles
as sea creatures quickly and randomly pass through
the rays. When worn, the earrings look like
little waterfalls as the diamonds appear to
be trickles of water cascading down the face
of each earring and all the parts dangle and
move.
In
all, the “Dripping Coral” earring
are made of an 18K White Gold “skeleton”
and “tentacles” and feature four
(4) different types, colors and cuts of fine
Italian Coral. Additionally, there are 0.34
cts. of round brilliant-cut diamonds of G color,
VS clarity randomly set amongst the coral.

"Given
I had seen several pieces of jewelry designed
by Marc and HAND in HAND, I
had high expectations based on the quality of
his work. But, my enhanced expectations were
even exceeded when I received my ring. Not only
am I completely satisfied with my ring, but
also the experience of working with HAND
in HAND. The customer service is impeccable
and their attention to detail is outstanding.
I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone
looking for a truly unique and special piece
of jewelry."

“Creating
a unique, one-of-a-kind engagement ring made
all the difference. Being part of the design
process allowed my own creativity to shine through.
Essentially a part of me is in that ring. When
people see our engagement ring, their typical
response is “That is awesome!” and
“You did that?” The quality of the
design, craftsmanship and appearance speak for
themselves.”

“The
responses to Deb’s ring range from “This
is the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen”
to “Did he pick this out by himself?”
It certainly makes me feel good that people recognize
the effort that went into creating something unique
rather than buying a ring at a jewelry shop. Deborah
hasn’t stopped looking at it since I gave it
to her. Just seeing the happiness and pride on her
face makes me feel special.”

“The
best part of working with HAND in HAND
was their great communication skills. Being a designer
myself, it’s often hard to find designers who
are also really solid business people, effective communicators
and willing to work collaboratively. Marc is a great
guy to work with and HAND in HAND
is very trustworthy. They deliver on time and provide
a great value.”

The
“Trickling Water” necklace & earrings
are both made of 14K white gold. The necklace features
thirty four (34) Ideal Cut, round brilliant diamonds
of 0.40 cts. and the earrings feature twenty (20) Ideal
Cut, round brilliant diamonds of 0.24 cts. All of the
diamonds are G colors, VS clarity and pave’ set
within a groove that “trickles” down the
entire length of each piece. The high polish interior
of the groove acts as a mirror and provides a reflective
quality that not only multiplies the sparkles of the
diamonds, but also makes it appear as if there are numerous
rows of diamonds from both side views. The matte finish
of the exterior of the piece creates a stunning contrast
to the brightness of the diamonds and makes them that
much more visually striking.

“My
piece is so unique! Very often, it prompts people to
ask what it represents unlike most jewelry I own. It
is clear that the necklace has been created for a special
purpose. The thought and effort put into this piece
are what makes it so special. Marc was extremely interested
in formulating a design that would encompass all of
the special aspects of our special family story. I can’t
put into words what this necklace means to me. I do
know, however, that my husband and I consider this necklace
to be one of our first family heirlooms, as it tells
the beautiful story of how our family came to be.”
