Union: An act or instance of uniting two or more things into one.

September 30th, 2001 – My husband and I formed a union by marrying each other on this momentous day.

August 2010 – Mark Broumand formed a union by blending two very special pieces of jewelry my husband gave me during the early days of our relationship.

My husband, Rick, took me shopping in the downtown Los Angeles jewelry district exactly three times. The first time, he allowed me to select a gemstone for my 28th birthday (shortly before our engagement). I chose a bright pink oval tourmaline which he had set in a lovely by that jeweler into simple diamond halo setting. The second time he took me to the jewelry district, we selected my engagement ring which still adorns my left hand today. The third time, we selected a cocktail diamond cluster ring to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and the birth of our first child (we have now been blessed with three children after almost nine years of marriage).

As time went on and my jewelry tastes evolved, I longed to “marry” two of these jewelry items that have been so meaningful to me – the pink tourmaline ring Rick gave me on my birthday & the diamond cocktail ring he gave me on our second anniversary.

I recently took the two rings to a local jeweler in my area who gave me puzzled look about the idea of blending the two rings. The price they quoted me was quite outrageous by any economically conscientious person’s standards and they told me I’d be better off by doing a completely different type of project. Did they not understand the sentimental nature of my request?

But Mark Broumand (whose jewelry I had been admiring for the past several months ever since my dear friend Kathy found her ideal diamond thru his website) was undaunted by my request and completely up for the task. “I have done projects like this before”, he said with complete confidence and reassurance. He further explained that he’d have a computer rendering executed in no time & even went thru a couple of “drafts” until it matched my vision. I was so very pleased with the high end craftsmanship (and I have developed some serious standards over the past few years) and the reasonable price. And here’s the end result… My RINGUNION!

After one month of dating, i knew i finally found my husband. he surprised me with the engagement at the fountain where we had our first kiss. The moment i came down from the engagement high i started searching for my wedding band. this is when i found my second love, mark broumand's jewelry style. He made me the most gorgeous unique dainty one of a kind band, i absolutely love it. my fiance had to hide it from me before the wedding. we even inserted a special ring moment into our intimate ceremony where we passed the rings around providing each family member with a moment to bless and energize the rings. My excitement for the rings compounded the excitement of the day and that is what i think about it every time i look down at my hand. thank you mark! (pics to follow!)

Where 4 art thou... It was time. After ten glorious years, chock full of "i do"s and down payments and lamaze classes and midnight diaper changes, it was definitely time. Our tenth wedding anniversary had to be commemorated with the quintessential hallmark, the universal symbol for lifetime commitment of love and capless toothpastes and gray hair...the diamond. To clarify, a new diamond. Well, we'd prefer an old diamond, but it would be new to us. And not just any new old diamond...dare i say, a rock. The ubiquitous upgrade. The kind only to be discovered by searching and researching and losing...and finding all over again. Little did we know what kind of timeless love affair awaited us... Enter mark broumand. Our dear friend claudia directed us to his web site, sparkling with diamonds and settings galore. Rather quickly we zeroed in on his collection of old european cut stones, most dating back to the turn of the century. Right there in front of us on the lily white pages of the site, gleamed not one but two old stones that matched our description. Tastefully reinvented and granted new purpose, they refracted and scintillated in all their elegant glory, anxiously awaiting our visit and consideration like a puppy in a pet shop. Could one of them be for us? Our appointment was confirmed. After deliberating for days comparing the two stones' 4 cs and watching the turntable video again and again like an old family movie, we couldn't wait to feast our eyes on every lustrous facet to find out if this was 'the one'. Meeting with mark and his team proved professional yet delightful, right down to the classy offering of a chilled drink of water on a warm summer day. Mark diligently reviewed each stone's egl certificate, thoroughly discussed color, cut and clarity, assigned an escort to accompany us out into the sunlight, and respectfully stepped away to allow us the privacy to share a precious moment alone with the precious gems. That day, we walked away empty handed. With bloodshot eyes and sweaty palms, we rushed back like a lonely lover kept away from his sweetheart. And the very moment rosie adorned the fiery stone flashing it our way like a beacon in the night, we knew we'd fallen crown over culet for the 3.98-carat beauty that has come to represent our 'beshert', the meant-to-be kind of love you find once in a lifetime.

Fast forward eight years and john and i were planning a trip to celebrate our birthdays in Italy. On December 30th, the day between our birthdays, we had planned to do a walking tour of Rome starting with espresso, perhaps the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum and meander around town. From about a block away i could hear the rush of the water from the massive Trevi Fountain and started to get goose bumps as a flood of memories came swimming back. I quickly grabbed john’s hand and raced towards the fountain’s front to express the joy of seeing my favorite roman monument once again. As I turned to smile at him, i realized he was down on one knee, my hand still in his hand, and then before I knew what is going on, he pulls out the exact ring I had always wanted! He had worked with mark broumand to custom create a cushion cut solitaire with a halo and micro pave band to make me a one of a kind ring exactly like i had always envisioned. Unbelievable! It takes me about a solid minute to realize that I’m just standing there crying, staring at this amazingly sparkly ring that I have yet to answer him! I somehow managed to sob out a “yes!”

Every time I look at my ring, I think about how Bart proposed to me. He had been waiting for the ring to arrive in the mail. When it arrived four days earlier then his planned proposal date, he decided to propose the very moment he received the package. So the first time he was seeing the ring in person was on my finger. It's just one of the many special memories we have shared. I love my Mark Broumand ring and so does everyone else! Family, friends, and complete strangers ask me about my ring. I feel so lucky to be married to him and to have a very special ring to remind me of that every day.

My wife stephanie loved her Mark Broumand engagement ring so much that she almost (but not quite) loved it more than all of the compliments she got on it. We looked at what seemed like an endless number of jewelry stores for the perfect wedding band to match it without any luck. She even had her dream ring drawn out on a piece of paper, yet we could not find the perfect ring anywhere. Finally, when she wasn’t looking, I took the drawing, scanned it onto the computer and emailed it to mark. It wasn’t long before I had a perfectly matched custom Mark Broumand wedding band to go with her engagement ring. On our wedding day I was able to give my wife the ring of her dreams…that she helped design, all thanks to Mark! I can’t think of a better gift than these earrings for my wife to celebrate expecting our first child in a few months!

When I met my husband Jeremy it was like a meteor hit me, we fell so in love so fast. After six months we found out we were pregnant with twins and we were ecstatic! I remember leaving the ultrasound holding onto each other and laughing. Life with our boy Casey and our girl Imogen was wonderful (if exhausting) from the beginning. We talked about a wedding but the cost and the time and energy involved seemed impossible for us as parents. So we bought each other commitment rings to celebrate our second anniversary. We chose them together so that they would be perfect. I bought one made from meteorite for Jeremy and he bought me a gorgeous Mark Broumand ring with the shape of horseshoes on the sides. The week we got our rings we saw an ad in the paper and entered a contest to win a wedding at the stampede here in Calgary. Since our relationship has been characterized by adventure and giddy luck and my ring had horseshoes on it we entered and won! I showed my ring to the organizer and she looked stunned. “I guess you were meant to get this wedding,” she said. Now every year we go back to the stampede and go on all the rides we went on the day we got married. We are so happy and Mark Broumand’s rings are a symbol for us of how great love looks from every angle.

Hey Mark,
Words can't express how grateful we are for your amazing and creative designs. I get so many compliments on both my engagement ring and wedding band. Everyone says its the most beautiful ring they've ever seen! We have nothing but praise and recommendations for all of your work. I can't to see the diamond necklace that I nudged Frank to purchase for me for Christmas!!

I attached some photos of my rings, thought you'd enjoy. Thank you SO much and don't worry we will be customers for life!

I just received my ring via Fed Ex, and I wanted to let you know that I LOVE IT!!! I was a little worried about how it would turn out, because I've had it reset previously, and it didn't turn out to be what I was hoping for.

I was also nervous about shipping my ring cross-country, sight unseen, to a jeweler I found via the internet. Your work, however, has surpassed all my expectations and hopes. You did such a magnificent job, and I am absolutely thrilled! The ring fits perfectly, the setting is exquisite, and your workmanship is truly superior. Please feel free to use me as a referral, either by phone or on the web. Thank you again your creating such a fabulous ring for me.

Mark, Just wanted to express my appreciation and my delight with my ring!! I had a feeling that you would be the right one to make my dream ring...and you certainly have! When I opened the box and saw it for the first time, it took my breath away. I already had a loose tanzanite that I had purchased, and wanted to find a setting design that would bring out its beauty. After looking at jewelers locally, I hadn't found anything that I felt fit the look I wanted. Then I remembered seeing your jewelry while browsing online, and decided to go back to your website. Although I was a little apprehensive about ordering jewelry online, I did not stress over giving you this project because I could tell from the photos and videos on your website that you are a perfectionist. And through our communications upon placing my order and describing what I wanted, you proved to be a consummate professional. You definately create masterpieces in jewelry! Thank you for my beautiful, timeless, and exquisite ring--I know it's going to be cherished for generations!! Sincerely, Lindy P.

I cant recommend Mark anymore! His customer service was outstanding and the quality of the engagement ring was incredible! I was extremely cautious at first about buying a ring online but it was the only option due to me being deployed in Afghanistan, this also caused a lot of problems when it came to paying online but Mark was extremely accommodating and everything worked out fine. When I finally got home the ring was waiting for me and I was amazed at the quality and how stunning both the band and center diamond were .My fiancee absolutely loves it, (despite me ordering it 2 sizes to big!) she spends all day showing it off and everyone always complements her on how beautiful it is. Due to the high level of customer service and quality I will be contacting Mark again in a few months to get the matching wedding band. Many thanks Mark

I would rate the overall experience dealing with Mark Broumand on purchasing an engagement ring and then having him create a wedding ring to match as a 10++ experience! I live on the East Coast (over 3,000 miles away from LA), am a lawyer with an accounting degree, so I am naturally skeptical and cautious shopping both locally and online for such important items. I can now say without a doubt that I would not have any concerns buying online from Mark. The quality was spectacular and the price was more than fair. Also, dealing with Mark was an absolute pleasure and I very much appreciated how responsive he was to my every question and/or concern. So, if you are worried or concerned about shopping online or need an expert to discuss finding the perfect ring for your soon to be fiance', I would highly recommend checking out what Mark has available online and then calling him to discuss what you are looking for. I did and can't count how many people stop and ask my fiance' to look at her ring. It is unique, brilliant and show stopping....and, so is the smile on her face everytime she looks at it. Mark should feel free to use me as a reference and a testimonial as to how fantastic he made the entire experience. I am sure I will be purchasing jewelry from Mark again!!! His work has made quite an impression.

Hi Mark. I just wanted to let you know how THRILLED I am with the wedding and engagement rings you created for me. They arrived today and there aren't the words to tell you how stunning I think they are. They are more beautiful that I could possibly have hoped for!! I'm floating on cloud nine. My partner is happy to see me so happy, so from both of us, a huge THANK YOU!!!! You have been simply wonderful to work with. You made the whole process so easy and were so responsive to every question I had. I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone. It was a nervous process considering I was arranging it all from Australia but you couldn't have made it more easy, right from the original enquiry I made, to arranging postage and payment. It was all painless! I had a local jeweller design the original wedding and engagement rings but just wasn't happy with the end result. I'm so glad I made the decision not to 'settle' and sought your help to design something new. I truly have the most beautiful rings now and got that feeling every girl should have when they open the ring box. I think I even squealed in delight! They are simply perfect. Thank you again for everything and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Perhaps some earrings for my wedding day!!

Mark was such a pleasure to work with when I was designing my engagement ring. He never tried to up-sell me, and made something within my fianc?'s and my budget that is so gorgeous and so very brilliant! It sparkles in every form of lighting (even in LOW light it zaps you in the eye with bright sparkles!), and I get compliments even from strangers. I'd very confidently refer anyone to Mark Broumand.

Searching for the perfect engagement ring can be an overwhelming process. Our search for rings was just that in the beginning. You want the best quality, price, and craftsmanship. We didn’t want this beautiful time in our life to be overwhelming. Even being close to Washington, DC, the jewelry stores in our area were disappointing to say the least. It was either sacrifice quality for price or buy something we felt was overpriced. Then we found Mark Broumand... It was, of course, a bit scary considering a purchase like this online, but I did my (extensive!) research and contacted Mark. Could not find a single negative...actually not even a semi-negative comment anywhere online. Every comment was outstanding. His email response was almost instant. We felt like he was here just for us. He worked with us to create a ring that was made just for us...unique and special. When I finally saw the ring I was absolutely stunned and in awe. It exceeded my expectations! Do not hesitate to purchase any piece of jewelry from Mark. You will not be disappointed...you will in fact be blown away. Thank you Mark from the bottom of our hearts.

Living in the UK and looking for a 10th wedding anniversary engangement ring on the internet would have been my idea of hell, however I discovered Mark Broumand what a relief and a pleasure, he made the entire purchase as smooth as he could, his team were great at keeping in touch during Mark's unexpected absence, even the time difference and shipping was not a problem. The princess cut diamond arrived safe & sound, it's a beautiful diamond and the setting just perfect, Thank you all so much.

Hello Mark, Today I received the 2.75ct Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Ring (SKU2348) The ring is more beautiful than I imagined and the case along with the certifications are nothing less than the treatment I received from start to finish, absolutely first class. I will definitely return for future items and pass onto my relatives your astonishing value and customer service. Thank you again.

My fiance proposed to me by having our son do it for him. He is in afghanistan so he could not do it himself it was PERFECT!!! When i opened the box to my ring i could not believe it!! You did an amazing job on my ring i could not have asked for a more perfect sparkling amazing ring!! Thank you so much for making my day even more special!!!!

Thank you very much for all of your help! The ring is stunning! I've received so many compliments. We could not have made a better choice. I've attached a picture, as well! We're looking forward to the process of selecting wedding bands, so we'll be seeing you soon.

I could not possibly express how grateful my fiancé and I are for the ring you made for us with words alone.it is the most gorgeous thing we have ever seen. In my wildest dreams it couldn't have been more beautiful. You nailed it perfectly with every intricate detail. I work in pharmacy so my hands are in the public a lot and literately not a day goes by without someone complementing me on it. I cannot wait to see what you come up with in a couple years for the wedding bands. Fast, friendly, efficient, affordable, master craftsmanship....you are the bomb!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Just wanted to leave a testimonial for you guys. I found Mark Broumand on EBAY a couple of years ago. I bought my wife a gorgeous 2 carat pear ring that Mark really worked with me on as my budget was very limited. Mark really took care of me and found me the perfect ring that was within my price range. In fact that same ring could have cost me nearly double and would have been well worth it. I cannot say enough good things about Mark Broumand and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a gorgeous ring at a price that won't break the bank. Mark is honest, trustworthy and has a calm and peace about him that is uncommon in the industry. From the moment you hear his voice it becomes all too obvious that you have found a person you can put your trust and confidence in. Thanks Mark and your great staff.

Hey Mark,
Just wanted you to know that I have received the ring this morning and could not be any happier with it. It came out perfect and I can't wait for her to see it. I will be contacting you in the near future to make a wedding band for the ring as well. Once again thank you so much for making the ring in plenty of time and for making absolutely perfect. You have no idea how long I looked for the perfect ring before finding your website and finding this particular ring. You have an amazing sense of design and all of your jewelry reflects that gift. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years.

I have been looking for a diamond for my wife for a long time, I had looked locally, online and in some well known stores such as the Tiffiny & Co. and could never find the ideal diamond ring at a price that was in reach. I saw the picture of the diamond I bought from Mark Broumand on line and contacted him. There was a lot of going back and forth between him and I, since this was an expensive purchase and a beautiful ring, but I lived in WI and he was down in LA. Mark allowed me to research this ring on my own, he sent me all the information I needed and then allowed me to examine the ring by a local jeweler, before I purchased it. My wife and I are very happy with our purchase but even more impressed by Mark¹s level of service and commitment to excellence which allowed us to do this at our comfort level without pressure. I will be happy to recommend him to anyone who is looking for an outstanding value and second to none service. He can always use me as a reference.

Hi Mark,
I really have to say that this ring is so beautiful,I love it so much. You made it appears beyond my expections, it sparks in any ways I look at it. And the style of the ring is so classic yet not losing modern touch. I guess next time I will remember to bring "real" cash,haha.... All I wanna say is thank you for making my ring so beautiful.

Hello Mark, I proposed to Abby this weekend in CO. She LOVED the ring. It was perfect, and I wanted to thank you once again for your recommendation. I will let you know when we are ready to buy my wedding ring. Until then take care

Oh my gosh!....it is more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love how unique it is. It is exactly what I wanted. Again thank you Mark...I couldn't be more pleased. I am a member of a jewelry forum and believe me I plan on shouting your praises and highly recommending you to everyone there. I'll be back for sure when finances permit. I love your pieces.

Hey Mark, I know it's been some time...but wanted to let you know that my wife-to-be was absolutely delighted with the ring! It made my proposal a priceless memory. She said it was EXACTLY what she wanted. Thanks again for such a wonderful engagement ring and I look forward to the next jewelery purchase from you.

I received a beautiful right hand diamond ring on the day expected. It was even more lovely than the picture and I am very happy with it. Thank you very much.

Hello Mark...
I just wanted to thank you for your time and attention today when I drove over to see you. Your selection of rings is fabulous and the quality of the diamonds is first class. It was good to meet you and I am just SO thrilled with my gorgeous new ring...You will be pleased to hear that Clive also loves it!! The re-sizing is perfect and I'm really going to enjoy wearing it (until I come back to you for a larger upgrade!!). Thank you again....I will have no hesitation recommending your fine store to my friends in the Palm Springs area (they are always travelling back and forth to LA).

Mark - Hey it's Rex. I've been meaning to call you but misplaced your phone #. I got the ring last week and it's absolutely perfect and beautiful! It's pretty funny having the ring and looking at my fiance's drawing and seeing how you and your team transformed her picture into such an awesome ring. If you ever need a reference for an ebay bidder or anything like that send them my email address. And when I buy jewelry in the future or give a recommendation to anyone I know I'll head straight to you. Thanks a lot Mark, you've made this a very easy and great experience for something that can be pretty scary for a guy getting married!

Mark, I wanted to let you know that we are extremely satisfied with the ring and that my wife thinks it's the most beautiful ring on the planet. If you ever have someone that's skeptical about buying via the Internet or the quality of your work feel free to give them my name and number and I will gladly give you a good reference. Thanks again for your beautiful ring.

Hello,
All I can say is WOW the ring you made me far surpasses anything I could have ever wished for. Nothing I can say seems good enough to say about the craftsmanship, beauty, and the communication you provided. Please send me a way to leave feedback. I want to give you an outstanding rating and feed back A+++. Your work is amazing everyone that has seen it has been speachless. I will definitely refer.

Just a quick note to say thank you. Buying a ring online and from the other side of the U.S. can be a scary adventure. I had the pleasure to talk on the phone to your people twice. Once to Mark himself (very unhear of these days) and one to his brother.They were very helpful in completing this transaction.The ring was a big hit and i will be shopping for bands in the near future and i know the first place i will be looking. Many thanks again.

I found Mark Broumand Jewelry while I was looking on E-Bay for an anniversary diamond ring. We are celebrating 30 years of marriage, and spent years raising children and putting our own desires on hold. Now that the children are gone and married, we decided it was time to purchase the bigger diamond ring that I always dreamed of! Marks beautiful settings and ring designs are what sold the ring for us! Then, the diamond he added is just perfect to complete the "look" and is beautiful and brilliant. I couldn't be more pleased with the ring, and after worrying about making such a significant purchase in dollars from long distance which was hard at first, Mark answered all question and reasurred me with all my concerns. I whole heartedly recommend Mark Broumand Jewelers for your fine jewelry purchases, and intend to do so to my friends and relatives who may be looking to purchase that special something for their loved one! Thanks again Mark!

I have been a loyal customer of Mark for over 5 years. Jewelry is my addiction so I purchase often and those purchases can become expensive. I have dealt with numerous buyers around Los Angeles and I can say without hesitation that Mark provides the best quality at the best prices. I have had rings and pendants designed and purchased his own unique designs and receive nothing but compliments on their originality and construction. If you want a great deal on high end quality jewelry, you need not search any further. Mark Broumand is your man.

Mark, now that things are finally caught up from the holiday season I just wanted to take a moment out of my busy life to say thanks again for everything you did for us. Your workmanship is amazing and I am still in awe as to how you were able to give us such a terrific price after all the shopping around that I had done before coming to you. The fact that you were able to have her ring ready sooner than promised made for our best Christmas so far. The professionalism and attention you gave us made us feel safe and secure with such a large transaction, especially considering it was made long distance. Everything has been perfect, and I have already recommended you highly to friends. Please use this as my recommendation to anyone who considers a purchase with you. All the best to you! I look forward to one day meeting next time we are in LA.

Hi Mark, I received the ring this morning and it is PERFECT! I realized today that I cannot leave feedback because I bought the ring directly through you and not Ebay. However, I want to personally thank you for all that you have done. Your service has truly been above and beyond what I could have ever expected. These days, service like yours is not easy to come by. Obviously you are one of the best sellers on Ebay. I hope you have a wonderful holiday because you have certainly made mine.

This is the second time we buy a major piece of jewelry from Mark, and whilst we loved the earrings for my wife's 30th birthday, the diamond that Mark sourced for our wedding anniversary was sensational. Buying jewelry from abroad is difficult, but we decided to trust Marks judgement and expertise, and the result was a ring beyond our expectations. This diamond ring is complimented everywhere we go, and my wife can't stop looking at it either. I was really nervous about the design and the finish knowing my wife is very particular about her things, and Mark came up with a design and setting which really showcases the cut and gives the diamond a great pop-up effect and at a price well below Tiffany and other Jeweler's we consulted. We had some difficulties in arranging the delivery of the diamond but I can't thank Mark enough for taking action and saving us a lot of hassle when Fed Ex made a cock up of the initial delivery. In England we say "it does what it says on the tin", Mark's customer service and quality of jewelry goes beyond what it says on his website!

I received my ring today and it is so beautiful. I couldn't be happier. The ring is just exquisite and beautifully crafted. My experience with this company was very positive right from day 1 , with very prompt email responses and willingness to answer all questions. I highly recommend Mark Broumand !!!!

Every so often you hear a story of two people finding an extraordinary love like they could have never imagined. Such is the story of Michelle and I. The story of the ring begins with a lazy Sunday looking on the internet and finding Mark's website. There we found a stunning 3.37 ct. Asscher cut diamond ring like nothing they had seen. Being the sly fox I am I stored that information away for another day to come in the near future. After a time I called Mark and he made special arrangements to hold the ring for me with an extremely modest deposit until I was able to pay the balance. Through the whole process Mark was extraordinarily helpful and accommodating to make this the most positive experience I could ask for. We traveled to New Orleans and I gave Michelle the ring at the New Orleans Musical Legends Park on Burbon Street with the song "As Time Goes By" played by Steamboat Wille in the background. Mark, thanks so much for creating the beautiful pieces you do and thank you for such a splendid experience.

I just received my 12 carat diamond tennis bracelet and I'm thrilled with my purchase! The bracelet is even more beautiful in person than i expected. I am an expat that lives in HK and also a first time buyer of jewelry online. Mark has made my experience very easy and enjoyable. His expertise and reliability has made me want to work with him again in the future! Thanks so much, mark!

I am an old hunter of a diamond ring. When we married 22 years ago, we each got a plain band, and I eventually got a 1/3 c. anniversary band. I am a pianist, so a flat setting suits me exclusively. Now, these 22 years later, I have wanted something extraordinary. I was looking through the special designs here, and came upon a ring that I kept going back to... I looked at that ring for 2 1/2 years, before I contacted Mark in January 2012. We upgraded the diamond quality and weight, and then I decided to lose 25 pounds. (How many excuses can one find to postpone a big decision...) But, in August, I placed the order and 3 1/2 weeks later, I am the proud owner of 1 1/2 carats of perfection. There isn't a thing I would change about this ring.... except the 22 years. I will be back.

Hi Mark, Well, the ring came before noon as you promised and I actually cried when I saw it on my hand in the sunlight! It is so beautiful and it fits! It is exactly what I wanted and the stone and the setting are truly lovely. I couldn't be more pleased with the whole process, from start to finish. Thanks for a great experience and a magnificent piece of jewelry that I will always treasure. You have my permission to post this on your website, if you should so choose. Sincerely, Shelley

It was an honor this year for us to be involved in the Promises Foundation's Polo in the Palisades 2012 benefiting Miriam's House, a transitional living home for low-income women and their children. The fundraiser this year honored Dave Barge, Elise Buik, and Kurt Garbe for their service to the community. It was a great fun filled day with two polo matches with teams named after their sponsors.

Owner Mark Broumand donated two pairs of beautiful one-carat diamond stud earrings to be auctioned off to help raise money for the charity. The halo diamond studs went to actor David Arquette and the other to Sheela, a volunteer a Miriam's House.

We have been having a great year at Mark Broumand and we're so glad for the opportunity to be involved in this event. It was a successful day and we look forward to next year's polo fun!

I knew when I met my fiancé that he was the one. It was love from the beginning. He was the man of my dreams and when he proposed he wanted to give me the ring of my dreams! And he did. We looked at countless jewelers, in person and online. Then we found Mark's website and it was love at first site again. When I saw the ring, the search was over. We were both skeptic about purchasing a ring of such importance online, never seeing it or meeting the creator in person, and we have both been blown away by it's beauty! The ring is stunning. We looked at rings, in person, that were more expensive and they didn't come close to matching the clarity and beauty of this ring. I LOVE IT!!! We love it! We can't thank Mark enough for his spectacular work and professionalism. Every question we had he took the time personally to answer and promptly. We have never been happier with the customer service we have received. The ring was shipped via Federal Express and was received the next day safe and secure. Thank you Mark. We have had nothing but a wonderful, satisfying experience with you and your company. Family and friends have asked if we would purchase such an important piece of jewelry again online and we both have said yes, through Mark Broumand! I love my ring!!!!!

I found the most beautiful engagement rings on Mark Broumand's website. I live in a big city and have gone to every reputable jewelry store in town and haven't found anything as beautiful or as reasonably priced. And I've done a ton of research. I was leery to purchase an expensive diamond ring online, but I traded numerous emails with Mark (who is very nice, responsive and knowledgeable) and I felt comfortable. And I was not disappointed! The ring is more stunning in person and I took it to a local jeweler to appraise it and he agreed with the price and GIA report. I was so pleased with Mark that I had him custom make diamond earrings for me. Again, his work was beautiful and of very good quality. I could not be happier with my purchases. Please do not hesitate to order from Mark, even if you've never been to his store!

My fiance and I were so lucky to have found and worked with Mark for both my engagement ring and wedding band! He's so engaging and helpful, while maintaining the utmost amount of professionalism and respect. His work is absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with my "bling" collection! Mark was definitely put under a good amount of pressure between my fiancé and I, but he rose to the occasion both times and absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our story is a little different than most, so Mark's willingness to accommodate our unique situation was such a relief. I'm originally from LA, but my fiancé, Carl, is from New Zealand and lived there when we crossed paths again just over two years ago -- he and I first met ten years ago in high school, although we were just acquaintances back then. After a year-long courtship and flying back and forth from one end of the world to the other, my amazing man whisked me off to Fiji last summer and knocked my socks off with my STUNNING engagement ring (which, by the way, I must add, I had nothing to do with.. this was all him, so I can't take any credit). Unbeknownst to me, however, I had brought my own engagement ring with me to New Zealand and handed it over to my fiancé without even knowing! (He and Mark had to send my ring back to LA from New Zealand, because Customs was going to charge a ridiculous import fee for bringing it into the country...BUT alas, Mark kept his cool and shipped the ring back to LA, sending it to my address but addressing it to my fiancé's brother-in-law so I wouldn't open it, but would bring it with me on the plane and give it to him when I got there.....sneaky boys!!) Now fast forward another year: we both live in New Zealand now, but I'm back in LA (only for two weeks) planning the wedding. I emailed Mark a few weeks before arriving to let him know I wanted to stop by and check out wedding bands, and gave him some ideas of what I was looking for. When I arrived, I decided I wanted my wedding band custom-made to match my engagement band, but was worried it wouldn't be ready in time to bring back to New Zealand when I left (keep in mind the silly Customs fee, so there was no way I was leaving LA without my ring). Mark assured me the ring would be ready before I left and right he was! I was so relieved and ecstatic when I got the call just a week later that my ring was ready, and seeing it in person was even better (I can't put up a photo of it, since our wedding isn't until July and my bridesmaids keep telling me it's bad luck to wear it before the wedding hehe, but trust me, it's BEAUTIFUL)! So far, Mark's stats are two for two and that is exactly why we will be faithful customers for years to come. Thanks again, Mark!!!

I am over joyed with my rings. My experience with Mark's craftsmanship and service was exceptional and I would recommend him to all my friends and family and continue on as a repeat customer. I started my search for my 10 year anniversary upgrade, it took about 1.5 years to actually choose a design and jeweller. I consider myself a very picky customer and wanted to ensure i choose a jeweller that can create a unique piece with high craftsmanship standards who also listens and has the patience for details. Mark was all the above! From the onset he was very thorough and detailed in responding to all my questions via email and phone and continued to be as attentive throughout the process. Mark was definitely a man of his word, that is definitely hard to come by in certain businesses particularly in ones like the diamond and jewellery business. Especially because my only dealings with him were via email and phone I never met him in person. He reassured me multiple times that I will be happy with the end result and to give him trust. I did to the point I asked him to surprise me and not to send me any in-between pictures after I was certain he knows what i'm looking for. I wanted to see the ring in person for the first time. I decided on a designer style which I asked Mark to replicate, I wanted to put most of my money into the centre stone and not on designer labels. I was not disappointed! The engagement ring and band were stunning. Slight differences with the design I provided but very close to the picture representation. He went above and beyond to find me the best diamond with the specifications i asked for and even went over budget on his end to get me the best diamond available in that category. I cannot express how gorgeous my diamond is, it sparkles so beautifully. Furthermore, Mark is a true professional that delivered on his promise he said the process would take about 3-4 weeks and he came in right on time. The trust he requested he also gave back, being this was an international payment from Canada the payments took longer on our end and he was very patient and understanding. In summary if you are looking for a Jeweller that knows the business very well has superior craftsmanship and can be trusted to deliver on his promises Mark is your man. Thank you Mark for all the TLC you gave my rings.

Absolutely gorgeous and thoroughly impressed! From the first contact through final purchase and follow up, I was thoroughly impressed with the personal touch and level of customer service that Mark provided. My wife and I were coming up on our 20th wedding anniversary and we were looking for something special. With a particular interest in a yellow diamond, we had looked very carefully at "the one" from Harry Winston and Tiffany's yellow diamonds but we really weren't impressed with the design or size for the value. As we were living in Japan, I researched for several months to try to find the right designer. I came across Mark's rings through a search for yellow diamonds and was impressed with the designs and quality of diamonds that he had. Obviously nervous about purchasing such an expensive item online (this was the largest purchase we've made other than our house and car), I did take some time to thoroughly read all reviews. From the first contact Mark was very responsive and receptive of our needs and requirements and I was immediately convinced that if he didn't already have the ring we were looking for, he'd create it. We looked at a number of rings in stock to consider designs and Mark even went out of his way to try to find various sizes and qualities for our comparison. In the end, he actually had THE ONE that we were looking for and we were able to quickly make a decision. As we had a trip to the US planned for our anniversary several months later, Mark kept our ring until we could take delivery on it. Once we received it, we realized that it was even more beautiful than the pictures indicated. My wife and I are extremely happy with the ring, quality, the customer service and value. We had it appraised for insurance purposes here in Japan and it was valued at 2x what we paid for it. We got such a great deal that we're now looking forward to Mark creating a pair of matching earrings. I can confidently give my highest recommendation of Mark for the entire buying experience and we'll absolutely be repeat customers for a long time. Thanks Mark!

Dear Mark,
Just had to send through an email to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for the BEAUTIFUL pear shaped diamond engagement ring you sold to my now fiancé Chris. Last week Chris got down on one knee while on a day cruise at Maya Bay in Thailand and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was easily the best day of my life!!! Everything was perfect the venue the ring and to top things off it happened in front of my sister and some close friends. I have known for a long time that a pear shaped ring was the one for me. However in Australia they are very rare to find. Let alone finding one that you love down to the smallest details. When we came across this website I immediately fell in love with the ring and I told Chris this was the ring for me!!! We were really skeptical buying the ring from overseas as we could not try it on or see it in person to know whether it was the right one or not. The fact that there are photos of all angles of the ring and also a video made it much easier to give it a shot and purchase the ring from Mark Broumand anyway. We read all the reviews and Chris finally decided that this was what he wanted to do. He and Mark exchanged emails back and fourth discussing sizes etc and Chris said Mark was so helpful and quick to respond to every email or inquiry. Now that the ring is on my finger and I wear it everyday I have fallen even more in love with it!!! It sparkles tremendously and have already received so many comments from work colleges amazed at its beauty!!! So all I want to say is if you are like we were and reading these comments trying to decide whether or not to risk buying from this company I just want to say "GO FOR IT!!!!" Chris and I are both very happy with the product and service provided by Mark and would do it all again in a heartbeat!! Thanks again Mark!!!

Mark,
I cannot praise you enough. I will be forever a fan and customer for life.

Upon months and months of researching settings online, low and behold, I came across your website. After many email exchanges and finalizing the sell over the phone, you made me feel very comfortable and are a trustworthy vendor to work with. Your craftsmanship of the setting you made for me by far exceeded my expectations.

When the setting arrived, a week and a half earlier than the original date, I had to promise my fiancé I would not open the box. The first time I saw the final product was when he placed the ring on my finger. Words cannot express how in awe we both were of the beauty this setting holds.

You are more than welcome to provide my name and contact information for a referral for my entire shopping experience with you.

Again, thank you for everything and I look forward to purchasing another ring. Hopefully a fancy colored diamond that I have my eye on.

I recently purchased the 2.40 Emerald Cut Engagement Ring by Mark Broumand for my new fiancé. She was blown away by the ring! Mark's sales associate Reese had explained that the ring was more breathtaking in person than it was in the pictures and videos, and she was correct! My fiancé's family and friends have all be very complimentary as well. I was hesitant to make a purchase of this value online, but I will never again hesitate to purchase anything from Mark Broumand. He was both prompt and specific with all of my questions! I highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for a great piece of Jewelry! Thanks Mark!

After months of searching for "thee" ring to celebrate 20 years of marriage to my wonderful husband, I found this Mark Broumand creation! It is absolutely exquisite and compliments my platinum diamond eternity ring perfectly. Mark was also kind enough to create my sassy little ring which I wear on the 1st knuckle of my fore finger. To say they took my breath away is an understatement! I chose a picture in the shade as you would be blinded by the diamond prisms that these 2 beautiful rings project. As busy as Mark is, he ALWAYS replied to my emails in a timely manner, so professional!!! Mark, I cannot thank you enough, I am such a blessed woman! X

I recently read some mixed reviews on Google regarding Mark's use and views of EGL v. GIA graded diamonds and a couple expressed disappointment at an "M" graded diamond they bought from Mark because they said, it was too yellow. I don't know what color these people expected an "M" graded stone to be, but if they bothered to look at any grading/color chart, they would know that M is a pretty yellow diamond and the price reflects that. I mean, if go to your butcher and buy shoulder steak, don't expect to be tender like a rib eye. For any one that cares, I have dealt with Mark and could not be happier. I bought a large yellow diamond engagement ring that I had appraised and turned out the ring appraised for $11,000.00 more than I paid for it. I also "pre-paid" Mark to make a custom, matching yellow diamond wedding band it was appraised for $1,700.00 more than I paid. But, the most important thing to me is that my wife "adores" these rings and every one that sees them is "seriously impressed" with the quality and craftsmanship of these rings. I live in MA, and have bought jewelry from several NY dealers, a Pennsylvania dealer and a couple of others and while Mark is based in LA, I would do business with him "ANY TIME" If I'm ever in CA, I will make it my business to look him up and give him a great, big Italian hug.

Eddie and I have been together for 26 years. We have been married for 21 of those years. When we were married we did not have the funds to create the ring of our dreams together. Then life took hold of us buying a house, three children and life expenses. All more important than a diamond ring. The experience with you and your staff was very pleasant and professional. We were nervous with purchasing a piece without seeing it in person. Your correspondence and pictures kept us at ease. When the ring arrived my husband surprised me one night at dinner and re-proposed to me again with the most spectacular, beautiful, unique creation made by you. The night was magical! The ring is everything and more than I imagined for my wedding ring. The heart is very special to me and to have a diamond heart on my finger brings a smile to my face every time I look and my hand. Thank you for creating this beautiful wedding ring for us.

Eddie and Theresa Anderson

Mark -
I am just writing you to let you that I proposed last night to my now fiancé. We are both so completely in love with what you have created. The ring is absolutely stunning. You are truly a master of your craft and I am so thankful to have chosen to do business with you. She has gotten endless compliments on it already. Thank you so much, we could not be any more pleased.

Mr. Broumand,
Raith and I received our wedding band this week and we wanted to express our gratitude. Thank you for your professionalism, talent and lovely staff. You and your team have made this process easy and seamless. We highly recommend you to everyone who is willing to listen and of course all who fawn over my lovely ring set.

We decided to enclose a picture of our completed set. It is breathtaking and beyond anything I personally could have imagined! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us two thousand miles away. Thank you for your amazing attention to detail. Finally, thank you and your staff for all of your welcoming customer service.

Our kindest regards,
Raith and Gini

The entire experience with Mark was wonderful! He accommodated all our needs and requests and made purchasing our perfect ring easy. The custom design and millwork is impeccable. It by far surpasses my dream ring. It is honestly the most beautiful thing we have ever seen... I can't stop starring at it! Thank you for my perfect piece of art.

Mark,
I want to start by saying, you are Incredible!!!! I was so amazed by the fine detail that went into this ring! Mark, the decision to go with you has truly been wonderful, as well as exceptional! Your talent, personalization, is truly a piece of art! You give the men an ability to reach out and put a stamp on the meaning "you're the one".. that's priceless!! The quality, the detail, the one of a kind piece, with TRUE affordability quantifies who and what you and your company stands for! I have searched for nearly a year to find that perfect ring, I swam through the Jewelry chains and the wedding chasers and even looked at loose diamonds and mountings all trying to find the One.. While surfing the internet I came across Mark Broumand, The Master Piece, The Quality, The Personalization, The Customer Service, Wow.. I now know what it feels like to shop on Rodeo Drive without ever leaving my house!! You're the best Mark!!!

Hi Mark,
I hope that all is well. I have attached an image for your Facebook wall. My fiancée posted this image on Facebook and she got over 1,000 likes.

As I mentioned, it is always great to make your Facebook post more personable with stories and pictures of satisfied customers as oppose to just pictures of ring. Stories allow you enroll people emotionally and pictures of customers makes you more real to the consumer.

Here is a post you can add with picture to your facebook page:
Congrats to newly engaged couple Andy and Casandra. Andy had a beautiful custom designed pear shaped split shank platinum ring designed by Mark Broumand. We wish the both of you much happiness.

Here is an additional post with link of my surprise flash mob proposal:
Our client Andy did an amazing surprise proposal using a flash mob. Check out the surprise reaction of his fiancée and a quick glimpse of the sparkling Mark Broumand custom designed ring: http://youtu.be/RbI9Bk1CE8Y

I hope that this help you build more awareness and customers. Thanks again.

After going through numerous ring websites, I stumbled on the Mark Broumand website. My husband and I were on a budget but I saw this ring and fell in love with it at first sight. It was well over his budget and I let it go and showed him another ring. However, this ring still resonated in my mind. On the night of the proposal, I so wasn't expecting this ring but "pow" there it was. The ring of my dream!!! I was so over the moon, I can't thank and appreciate my husband enough for breaking the budget for my dream ring. For my band, I asked Mark for a simple band as the ring itself is extremely gorgeous and didn't want to take away from it. However, I will be adding another band to make it more complete. Hoping I get the second band on our first anniversary *lol*

Mark,
I want to thank you. I am sorry it took me so long to write this email to you. I wanted to tell you that Jillian and I both love her piece. You did a wonderful job in designing it. The Gold basket is the feature I love the most about it. There is so much detail to this ring. She is constantly stopped by people to look at her ring. The price, the service, the quality…I could not have gone anywhere else and gotten as good of a ring, that we both love. Thank you so much again. I hope to come to you in the future for other possible jewelry purchases.
