My experience could not have been better! I have never purchased jewelry online before and doing so was terrific! I could look at the pendant as long as I wanted to, and nobody bothered me--try that in a store! The photos of the pendant were fabulous--although it was even better looking when it was delivered. The artistry, design, and craftsmanship was absolutely amazing.

I look forward to my next purchase--

I commissioned a matching pair of rings from Mark and Jess for a Valentine’s Day gift. My boyfriend and I could not be happier with what they created for us! Not only did they create two unusually high-quality solid sterling rings, but Jess and Mark also really took the time to make absolutely sure every detail was exactly what I was looking for. Their craftsmanship and quality are superior. We both love our rings and wear them every chance we get! I highly recommend Jess and Mark to anybody looking to commission a unique, high-quality piece of jewelry

Before I express how much I love the ring that Mark made for me, I would like to discuss the process of making that ring. Mark and Jessica were incredible in keeping me posted on every step in the process. From picking out the exact fossil, to discussing with me the weight and width of the ring, they communicated with great clarity at every turn. They also sent me great photos showing the fossil before it was cut, after it was cut and after it was ready for placement in the ring. Although I live many miles away, I felt as though I was getting to look over Mark's shoulder as he made my custom ring. Jessica's photos allowed the anticipation to build as my ring was created.

When it arrived, it was better than I could have hoped for. I love everything about it. I cannot tell you how many compliments and questions I get when I wear my ring ( which is just about every day). Sadly, I will probably never get to meet Mark and Jessica in person. But I will enjoy their artistry and craftsmanship for the rest of my life.

Late last year I had the opportunity to talk to both Jessica and Mark about a gembone inlay ring that I wished built for me. The ring was to be Argentium silver and contain a specific stone that I had picked out. My conversations with them defined my wishes and also provided me with tons of information and a glowing respect for there dealings with customers. Helpful, kind, gracious doesn't even begin to describe it. The ring was ordered and arrived at my door step in record time. Upon opening the package I actually caught my breath. It was truly stunning!!! The workmanship was superb. Then the real test.....I slipped it onto the intended finger. I have worn a lot of jewelry over the years but never have I had anything fit me or feel that good. It actually felt like it grew there and was always intended for that purpose. Since that day it has never left my finger and gets questions and comments almost daily.

Not only is the ring AMAZING but Mark and Jessa have been nothing short of fabulous to work with. Along with their obvious talent they are both friendly, professional and wonderful communicators. I am so thrilled with their work and hope to (as the economy improves:) ...engage them in more of my wacky design ideas!

I can't wait to finally wear my spidey!

To each of you who had a part in making this beautiful remembrance of my mother, Queena, who transitioned to heaven on the 27th of March 2008, thank you. I have cried buckets of tears today, because of the loss of her, because I am spending my first Christmas in my life without her, and because of the joy I feel being with my niece and her wonderful family on this very special Christmas Day. She is looking down on us today and smiling because the two girls she loved most in the world are together again. The necklace is a true work of art, depicts her unquestioned beauty, her joyous and free spirit, and her grace and elegance. She was a champion dancer, an unparalleled seamstress who loved jewelry, and the best mother and grandmother anyone could ever hope to have. I have no words to express how stunned and happy I was when I opened the gift. It totally took my breath away. Xenia put it on me with joy and I wear it with joy. My extreme and heartfelt thanks to Jessica for taking the commission and creating such a masterpiece, and to Mark for making my mother's initials with the incredible engraving work and crown on the back; such a beautiful gift could not possibly have more meaning to me than it does on this Christmas Day.

Respectfully Yours,
Yvonne

Nature is an inspiration to all of us. Jessica and Mark use many natural motif's in their work. I love the subtle curves and bold florals in Jessica's work. Just imagine a climbing vine reaching a leaf that glows brilliant with a fiery gemstone inbedded in it's folded palm. That is what I see through her eyes.

Mark is a master craftsman, always ready to explore new ideas. Together and alone their talents are deserving of any minor accolade I can express. I admire the work I have seen and I cherish the pieces I own.

My experience with Different Seasons Jewelry has been top notch and a joy to work with Jessica and Mark. The beautiful pendant they crafted for me is exquisite and exactly what I wanted! It was so easy to work with Jessica – she was practically reading my mind as I tried to choose what I wanted, and guided me expertly to the perfect piece. The craftsmanship is top-notch, the speedy service and ease in communicating unparalleled! I highly recommend them and look forward with great joy to the next piece they create for me!

I commissioned a piece to utilize the diamond from my engagement ring with one of her incomparable Andamooka Opals. Throughout every stage of the design planning into it's execution, Jessica was uncannily able to create with the stones and silver the image within my mind. She is able to listen, to put her client's desires into form with brilliance and skill. She is a delightful person to know and work with. She is warm, totally without ego and scrupulously thorough.

Jessica of Different Seasons Jewelry made an amazing ring for me! I told her I'd like a moonstone, & then sketched an idea... she in turn, created a band & setting for the moonstone, communicating with me the whole time, supplying pics & artistic suggestions. the result is a beautiful ring that I wear with pride each day.

Hand fabricated Argentium silver with pierced and hand engraved overlay and a blue-sheen moonstone cabochon. Commissioned custom one-of-a-kind design for Jerry and Julie.

My first purchases from Jessica were custom dog tags. Her piercing work and design was so unusual and my special dogs needed one of her beautiful tags. Her work is meticulous and her designs are very original.

I had the opportunity to purchase several of her original pendants when I spent the day with her in Tucson, Arizona. I wanted to buy all of them, but I didn't have enough money. Her craftsmanship is detailed and so beautiful. The selection of stones she uses in her jewelry is top quality and is selected with care.

I had the opportunity to commission a beautiful hair ornament that she and Mark designed and created. It is a work of art and is beautifully detailed. The craftsmanship is flawless and is truly heirloom quality.
These artists have a bright future ahead of them as they continue to grow, explore and let their creativity flow.

It is always a pleasure working with talented and knowledgable people - everyone associated with Different Seasons is friendly and helpful, willing to source the unusual for their original pieces! I am a return customer and will always look to Jessica's art and Mark's gemology/lapidary experience for inspiration!

Being an artist I love to see what other artists are creating. I found Jessica and Mark’s pieces on line and fell in love with them. Many artists find one thing that sells – and they keep making the same thing year after year. Like a painter only painting pansies in the same way. Jessica and Mark’s work is always developing and changing. Waiting to see what fabulous piece they will make next has me coming back over, and over, and over.

I have obtained gem materials from Jessa several times. She always delivers more than she promised and been willing to work out terms to make purchasing easier. I appreciate both her style & focus as well as her business ethic. I look forward to working with both Jessa and Mark in the development & mounting of precious gems.
