Just bought a diamond ring for my wife. He sat with us to determine exactly what she wanted and he delivered. It was beautiful and no one else came close on quality and price. Our family has been buying jewelry from Mark for 3 generations and no matter where we live we always come back. Mark has exquisite taste and guides you to the right decision. We live in Chicago and no one here can come close. We traded in some jewelry and the price he quoted us was exactly the final cost. A true pleasure dealing with him.

He gave me great personal service with extraordinary value. Handmade my ring in two weeks and gave me great guidance and advice with my selection. I was able to get a larger stone with my same budget, which I wasn’t able to get from other local stores or online. I will be returning and highly recommend:)

In addition to being expert in all matters relating to jewelry,Mark is as friendly and helpful as could be. I had an idea going in as to what kind of stone I wanted. Mark ordered 4 or 5 samples fitting my wishes. He was willing to help me make a great choice without ever being pushy. Great experience, highly recommended.

Mark was great. He made sure i understand what I'm buying, and what it's really worth if i ever wanted to sell it. I did my homework and after ton of research i realized he was being 100% honest. I will be back to purchase future pieces. Spending big money is scary but he made me feel perfectly comfortable. Thank you Mark!

Mark did an exceptional job with two rings we brought to him. The first was my wife's wedding ring, which we wanted to add a family diamond to. Mark did an excellent job of selecting a matching diamond and really making an exquisite ring without completely "changing" everything we currently had. He listened and guided us with his expertise... it was exactly what we hoped for and what you would expect from a jeweler working with some of your most sentimental and valuable assets. Second, he replaced a tanzanite in my wife's other ring. He found a beautiful stone and the ring looks better than when

Mark is by far the best jeweler in the Omaha/Lincoln area. His showroom is beautiful and is set up to deliver one-on-one, by appointment only, completely personalized service.
He will help you design the ring of your dreams. I've sent many friends to him, and he works with The Who's-Who of the area. Mark is a true professional.
I am writing this review motivated by adoration of Mark, but also because I am seeing there are a few negative reviews written on Yelp. I would encourage anyone reading the negative reviews to remember that it's common for only unhappy customers to write

My fiancée and I purchased a beautiful pair of earrings for her sister. Only three weeks later one of the earrings broke. Considering the horror stories others have had here, as well as our previous bad experience with this store, specifically with repairs, we have completely given up on this store. We respect small business owners and try to do as much business with them as possible, but, in this case, buyer beware. The World Herald article about the owner of this store stealing a large diamond from his previous employer, a large jewelry store in Omaha, coupled with our experience here are too

Mark is a master designer and perfectionist in execution. He designed and crafted a beautiful diamond/tanzanite men's ring that gets compliments wherever I wear it. I shopped two other local jewelers and Mark was by far the most creative. So if you want something that's not "off the shelf", Mark is the man to see. Not only that, he quoted me a very fair estimate, and the bill matched the estimate. He has earned all my future business.

There are people who sell things, and there are people who sell with integrity, style, and passion. I found Mark through a series of events which lead me to leave the big jewelry store in town I was planning to by from and embark on a personalized service with Mark. I met with him about 5-6 times before my custom piece was finished, and I relished and enjoyed very second of it. Expect to be treated like an old friend, sharing stories and passing the time like it's nothing. The shortest visit I had there was an hour- and that was just because another of his appointments arrived cutting us off

I shopped all over town for the ideal engagement ring. A co working of mine told me about Mark Edward. I called made an appointment for the next afternoon. I was shocked when I entered his office as it was like walking into a fancy New york or Beverly Hills store. He gave me great advice on what quality of diamond to buy, Made me a one of a kind ring in 2 weeks. I bought a 2ct diamond for what another store just a few blocks away was charging for a 1ct. It was a great way to shop.
Thanks for the great ring.....

I visited Mark Edward because I noticed his sign across the street from my house and I wanted to use a local, independent jeweler for my engagement ring. At our initial meeting, he was very friendly, explaining the process to me thoroughly and giving me a great idea of the ring he could create from several diamonds in my family.
Despite warnings from friends, I proceeded to commission the jewelery. I gave him two rings that belonged to my great aunt, one a single-stone engagement ring and one a wedding band with several small diamonds. He said it would be done in about two weeks at a cost
