Once again, Mark out does himself not only in the quality and beauty of his work, but with his customer service and care. For my 30th Wedding Anniversary, my husband went to Mark to purchase a gift. He picked out some beautiful sapphire earrings. Mark told him that if for any reason I did not like them, we could return them. Well, I did love them but I have another pair almost identical other than the color of the sapphires. When we went to see Mark, I took a diamond anniversary band that was one of my grandmothers. It was missing a diamond and needed some repair. Mark noticed one of the other diamonds was actually not one (he took the time to show us what to look for). I thought I could add a garnet and an aquamarine in the 2 spots. We also bought a diamond anniversary band that Mark attached to a sapphire and diamond ring I got when I turned 40. When we went to pick them up, the rings were beautiful! I left very happy watching them sparkle! After the weekend was over, Mark called and said he got some new stones in that he thought would look even better due to their color. After replacing the stones, he was absolutely right! I love them even more! Mark is such a genius when it comes to creating beautiful jewelry. I highly...
Read moreAfter my very first visit at Ardensen Jewelers, I felt I received the best craftsmanship in town, while also not being ripped off on my time or my money. For my fiancee's ring, I purchased the ring setting separately from the gem stone. I called all across town for quotes to have the stone set, and I found Mark to be 3-4 times cheaper than just about everyone else (Pawn Just Jewelry quoted me a similar same price, but estimated it would take about a week to complete). I walked in the same day, expecting the ring to be finished the day after. While every other jewelry store quoted work to take 1-7 days, Mark exceeded his previous estimate and placed the stone on the spot in only 30 minutes. His customer service was further confirmed as three other customer's walked in, received their jewelry, and raved to me about his work. It was a pleasure to watch Mark's refined craftsmanship on my ring, and the end result was simply beautiful. Mark earned my business from...
Read moreI recently dropped my antique wedding ring on our tile flooring and shattered one of three matching mine-cut stones. I took it to four different jewelers in the Phoenix area where I live and could not find one place I felt comfortable leaving it or who had experience with antique jewelry. I formerly lived in Michigan, took my jewelry to Mark and was always very happy with everything he did. However, I was not planning on being in Michigan in the near future, but I called Mark to see if he might be able to repair it when I was in town. He said not only could he get a stone to match with no problem, but to just send it to him! I even sent along another piece of jewelry for repair. He sent them both back, beautifully repaired, carefully packaged, and so quickly too! I am so happy to have my beautiful wedding ring back again! The level of quality of workmanship, professionalism and customer service is really outstanding here! ...
