Owner Mark Johnson has a very clear vision of what he wants to deliver to the Isle of Wight.

“Our aim has always been to deliver the perfect buying experience when it comes to diamond jewellery. Most of our clients have returned time and time again—valued as clients for life—receiving the very best service, whenever they need our help.”

A decade plus of experience
What you might not realise is that Mark has been running his successful business in Ryde for over ten years.

With Mark opening his showroom / studio in Ryde, we Islanders are now able to benefit from that that decade plus experience when we’re looking for that something special for our loved ones, be they partners, family or friends.

What is wonderful is that Mark and his team are not ‘about the sale’ – they are there to guide you through what to many people might appear a confusing world, filled with new terms and things to consider like grading of diamonds, understanding fair trade in the stones or metals.

Mark says:

“Buying jewellery can be very daunting. So many jewellery stores work on a commission basis, selling from stock and putting buyers under pressure.

“Our friendly approach ensures clients receive clear no-obligation guidance without any pressure to make a purchase. We have a very relaxed approach which puts clients at ease straight away.”

Supporting Island businesses
Mark is passionate about working with and supporting local companies to achieve his goals.

Heartbeat engraving

Two examples are the use of heart monitors to capture the actual heartbeats of your loved ones, to then faithfully reproduced on rings – and the same for fingerprint rings.

They tell OnTheWight that they also plan to introduce a range of affordable wood inlaid wedding rings which they hope to launch this Autumn.
