Martin & Melinda Marten, Owners

Martin's passion for the jewelry world began when he was scammed into purchasing a counterfeit ring. After that, insatiable curiosity overcame him and he found himself wanting to know all that there is to know about diamonds and fine jewelry. Soon after, he met Melinda and together they attended jewelry school and have traveled the world since. While finding the most amazing prices and quality in jewelry for their customers, their hard work and drive to make their jewelry dreams a reality have more than paid off.
