Scout Mandolin
I am inspired by the unique love story of each couple I meet. My pieces are designed to symbolize this one-of-a-kind love in a way that is timeless and elegant, so that the jewelry can be passed down as a family heirloom. There is a diamond for every budget, and we have years of experience helping people find one that's right for them.

Diamonds from all over the world are valued by the 4 C's (cut, color, clarity and carat). We add the value of sorting and identifying the most desirable stones to optimize your budget and create the perfect ring. We don't own the diamonds we present to our clients. We search for them from our long list of ethical diamond dealers.

I cannot recommend working with Julie enough.

When I bought an engagement ring, it was by far the biggest purchase I had ever made, and a very special one -- I knew I didn't want something generic from an online retailer or big-box jewelry store. I spoke with multiple designers about my vision on for a ring that was modern, but reflected my fiancée's Indian culture/background. When I spoke to Julie I knew she would work harder than any of the other designers to get it right, so I went ahead.

Over the course of the next few months, Julie spent countless hours on the design of the

I found Scout Mandolin via LittleBird on Instagram and I am so happy I did! Julie was amazing from the very beginning, talking to us about what we wanted and making sure we got it. She knew that getting a sustainable diamond was important to us and worked tirelessly until we found the right one. She even met with us several times so that we could choose a diamond we were happy with. She asked if we wanted any personalization to our rings such as coordinates of where we met or fingerprints. We chose to have our fingerprints engraved on the inside so that when we stacked all 3 rings (engagement,

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! I wanted to design and create a very special ring and Julie's expertise, creativity and patience throughout the entire process was invaluable. Together we came up with a gorgeous piece that I will treasure forever. She put so much personal attention and care into every step and I couldn't be more happier with the outcome. I highly recommend her and Scout Mandolin for any jewelry need you have!

With the help of Little Bird (http://www.littlebirdtoldyou.com), Scout Mandolin created the perfect ring that my now wife and I absolutely loved. and when the stone got chipped, Julie was very helpful in arranging getting it replaced. The rings designed by Scout Mandolin are one of a kind and ours will certainly be a timeless heirloom for years to come!

The quality of work that Julie and her team provide is unparalleled. My man friend designed five completely custom rings to make a stack that had a ton of small details. He used Danielle with Little Bird Told You to help with design, and Julie created all five rings to the exact specifications. Her CAD modelling and all the mock ups we're spot on and she really got what he was going for. I think the stack is beautiful and it feels so well made. It is seriously the nicest thing I own. I couldn't be happier.
Thanks Julie!!

Julie was incredible to work with. For a guy who knew nothing about jewelry, the thought of custom designing an engagement ring was a bit overwhelming but Julie made it simple (and surprisingly fun). I never thought I'd get so excited about all the intricate details of designing a ring. The finished product was perfect and I instantly loved it. More importantly, my fiancé (and all her friends) did too! So glad I went this route and was able to tell my girlfriend there's no other ring in the world like the one she has. And getting compliments from everyone on how great of a job I did

Julie was great to work with and the ring turned out better than I could have hoped for. The ring was exactly what my fiancé wanted and had all the small details I asked to be added that were special to me. Highly recommend Scout Mandolin for custom designed pieces!

The owner of this company, Julie, is: a fabulous designer, a really genuine person, a consummate professional, and a true artist. Put simply: she's a stud. She's super quick and on top of it in addition to being highly emotionally intelligent (an important trait in her line of work!). Julie and her team of expert jewelers completed our project within a very tight timeframe. We wanted this engagement ring to be a one-of-a-kind piece, and yet still streamlined and classic. After weeks and months of Pinterest haunting on our own, she was still able to show us design possibilities we hadn

Scout Mandolin is AMAZING!! Designer/Owner Julie took my jumbled mess of a Pinterest page, filled with ring ideas ranging from Art Deco to funky/ethereal, and made truly the perfect ring!! In addition, she was able to incorporate elements of my mother's ring into a masterpiece. I love, love, love the ring!!

As a result of our experience with Scout Mandolin, my fiancé and I are once again turning to the Scout Mandolin team for our wedding rings. I'm excited to work with them again because I know they will create great pieces that symbolize our love, will last a lifetime, and are priced

After Julie designed and created my now Wife's engagement ring, it only made sense to ask her to make her wedding ring. Customized to perfection with my requests and Julie's creative ideas, it was a very easy process for something that could be overwhelming. At least for me as it was something I never thought I would see myself doing. We've been married almost a year now and my wife comments on her rings almost daily! I would most definitely recommend Scout Mandolin for not only engagement rings, but other jewelery as well, since personally, it is the Only place I go for my beautiful

I have been purchasing Julie's design for many years. She continues to surprise me with her unique, beautiful and artistic style. She took my engagement ring and designed a band for it that I would have thought would have been impossible to do. Her attention to detail and satisfaction is unparalleled to other experiences I have had. I can't wait to have her add another band to complete my already stunning ring!

Engagement ring shopping is amazingly frustrating and more difficult than it seems. Most men including me know nothing very little about precious metals and diamonds. Couple the fact that there is some unseen matrix that dictates why one similar ring cost only a few grand versus the other a down payment to a home only intensifies the situation.

After visiting a lot of stores from the mall shops, dedicated ring stores, to fringe Asian ones, I was recommended to check out Jeweliany.

Jeweliany differs from every store I've been to in the sense that Julie owns her own small shop and when you

I worked with Julie to design a custom engagement ring for my fiancee. I live and work in the OC and Julie made the trek to me to show me diamonds. She went out of her way to provide excellent customer service. When I found the perfect diamond, she was able to turn it around in six days. On top of that, she personally delivered the ring to me in the OC so that I could propose that night!

Julie was awesome to work with and she made the process so easy. I referred her to one of my close friends and he got an engagement ring from her as well. I'm also working with her to get my wedding bands

I had a vision for the earrings that I wanted for my wedding day, but I couldn't find anything in a store that was just right. I searched on Yelp and called countless jewelers who all quoted me long time frames and crazy prices to make the simple earrings I was looking for. Finally I found Jeweliany and after speaking with Julie on the phone, I went into her shop. She listened to what I was looking for and then brought out all of the components to show me the options and let me pick out each piece. She made my earrings in just a few days and when I came to pick them up and felt that I

Love the jewelry. Saw my girlfriend with a beautiful necklace, couldn't stop thinking about it. The next visit to San Diego, made it appoint to buy the same necklace. ( I am the proud owner of the necklace and wear it every day !!! I get so many compliments.)
On the same day, worked it out with the owner, Julie Simpson, for her to make my and my fiance's wedding rings. The customer service was outstanding. The rings came out beautiful and just what we wanted.
I highly recommend Jeweliany Jewelry.

In an effort to get an amazing Christmas present for my girlfriend I went to Jeweliany for some much needed assistance. The owner, Julie, was such an amazing help in pulling out of me what my girlfriend would want and together we were able to design the perfect necklace within my budget. I couldn't have been happier with the final product and more importantly my girlfriend was thrilled and wears the necklace every day.

I highly recommend Jeweliany for any and all of your Jewelry needs!

I absolutely love the Jeweliany line. The owner Julie Simpson, is a great person and I always enjoy stopping by her studio.

Her jewelry is all handcrafted and all of the pieces make great gifts. I've given necklaces to all of the women I know. And her men's jewelry is cool but not too flashy. I can wear it everywhere.

Highly recommend!
