[jewelgal]

Has anyone dealt w/ this company before? How was your experience? The posts I found under "search" didn''t have more than 1 post under "all posts"....

thank you very much!

I think a few people around here recently used him and were quite pleased. Hopefully they will step up and point you to their posts.

What did you search under?
I know there's been some that've had great experiences w Mark - I'm one of them!

I've worked with him twice & he's made it an absolute pleasure. He's really gone out of his way both times to make sure I'm happy. It doesn't feel like so much of a business transaction when you work w Mark - it feels like you're working with a friend

I dealt with Mark Tenowski to purchase my 2.5 ct engagement ring and I could not have been more pleased. He delivers on what he promises and in my opinion, has a high degree of integrity. I was very pleased and would use him again for future diamond or jewlery purchases.

Jewelgal,




I worked with Mark on the upgrade of my wife's center stone for our 10th anniversary. I can't begin to say how please I was with Mark and the whole experience. I posted about it previously on this board and won't repeat it here. Maybe do a search for "enagagement rings direct" and you will find more?




Suffice to say that I would not hesitate to recommend him.

I have a question - seems like mark has great reviews.

Does he have an actual store? or is it like one of those ''booths'' at 47th street - where they have like 20 vendors in a giant area and such.

i don''t know, but things like that are somewhat important to me. if i am investing a ton of money in a diamond, i like to know that i am at a place that puts the same into their appearance/presentation. just my thoughts

Pons-

Mark has an office in the diamond district. IMO, when you do walk into a place like you described, its not necessarily a good thing- usually high markups go hand in hand with that...he is really great to work with, and I am sure if you choose him you will not be dissappointed...good luck

i think you will have more limited access to a selction of stones................he is very nice but i didnt buy from him. he offers only a few and i felt did nt put enough effort into finding me what i wanted--which was not anything unusual

I recently was working with him to find me a pendant...I emailed him like a dozen stones and he was investigating all of them for me. I drove the poor man crazy but he was a pleasure. Ultimately I didn't go with him and went local because the local guy I purchased my smaller pendant from actually had something great for me to trade in with...it would have been crazy not to get my trade in credit.

I got my 2 ct. stone from Mark and he was absolutely amazing! The man has the patience of a saint. He had a wider selection of stones then just the ones listed on pricescope and a better selection than other diamond dealers I went to (and he was lot more pleasant). Since he''s been in the diamond district for so many years, he knows many of the diamond owners. Also, he doesn''t charge you to call a stone in since he''s in the diamond district.

We loved working with Mark. He was amazing at returning emails- sometimes at 9:00 our time which was 12:00 his time. I LOVE my sparkly, firey stone that he helped us choose, and the price was great! He helped us come in under budget even though he knew that we could spend a bit more.
