“Black Orchid is laid-back charm. Fishbone is a hands-on craftsman in every sense of the word…a combination of Renaissance man and Indiana Jones.”

Testimonials
It was so kind of you to take the time to repair my ring. We really appreciate your expertise and I enjoy wearing my ring now. The “Black Orchid” looks great – very interesting jewelry and stones!
Just wanted to say “thank you” for the lovely moonstone ring. It is unusual these days to find such a superb craftsman. I have received many compliments from friends and family. I’m also enjoying the “one-of-a-kind” mouse ring as well.
I just wanted to let you know how much I loved the rings! They came out great and I’ve received so many compliments on mine. We’ll continue to think of you for any of our jewelry needs and to recommend you to friends.
The wedding anniversary ring that you crafted for me is superb. It exceeded my expectations and contributed to a wonderful 30 th wedding anniversary celebration. Thank you very much for applying your skills to this creation as well as delivering the ring in such a timely manner.
My fiance loves the way her engagement ring dazzles and just can't stop showing it off! I couldn't have managed without your help. You took the time to explain everything but gave me the time and space to let me buy at my speed. Thanks ever so much. You've got a customer for life!
Marc, I wanted to thank you again for doing such a beautiful job on my father's Masonic ring. The necklace is beautiful and my Mom was so happy and grateful to see it around my neck. You are amazing. I will bring all my jewelry needs to you and will tell all my friends! My Dad is smiling down on you!
Spoke to Marc, he is really knowledgeable about stones and jewelry, his shop also has some cool vintage pieces and art.
Marc, thank you so much for everything. The ring turned out amazing. You made our day that much more special. D. loves the ring and it's great that we have a one of a kind, just like us. Thank you again.
My necklace is simply gorgeous! I just want to thank you for the great service.
All things considered, yours is the best jewelry store I've ever visited!
Marc, thank you for getting the earrings (paintbrushes in sterling silver) made up for B. They look fantastic!
Many thanks for the fabulous diamond engagement ring! Your services were prompt and special, and your jewelry truly exquisite. And the prices are really affordable!
I'm absolutely thrilled with my bridal jewelry. I couldn't have hoped for anything better - other than my wedding, of course!
I am the very proud recipient of the beautiful necklace that you made for the Breast Cancer Awareness Benefit... I have worn the set twice now and have gotten many compliments. It looks amazingly as perfect for daytime clothes as evening clothes... and also goes with all colors. Thank you for the care and pride you put into making it. I know that I will love and enjoy it for a long time to come.
OK, let me say that Mr. Fishbone went out of his busy schedule to make my engagement ring fit just right and shine so bright while we were on vacation. What an amazing man!
Something for everyone, even picky me. The Black Orchid was suggested to me by a relative. I would not take my antique jewelry for repair or maintenance anywhere else. He had made custom engagement/wedding rings for my daughters. His prices are hands down the best anywhere. I've seen him repair earrings that were run over by a car! This man can create anything out of gold, without emptying your pocketbook.
