We've been working with Arka designs for our jewelry orders since 2012. Vatche has made us many custom pieces including our most recent purchase, which was an infinity band and an upgraded engagement ring, and they're all flawless. He is very honest and knowledgeable. I recommend Arka designs to all my friends and family. Their quality of work and prices are the best.

Vito is amazing to work with! He is a true professional and an expert at what he does. He comes with wealth of knowledge all things jewelry. He is meticulous and truly cares about his craft.

This past November was my 5th anniversary. I had expressed an interest in emerald rings to my husband at the beginning of 2023, but didn't know he had already begun looking, thinking and planning a ring design with Arka (where I got my wedding ring & band) for months in advance because I hadn't found any to my liking. We love working with Vito to customize jewelry pieces. His service and quality are both spot on. Thank You Again Vito for helping him surprise me, and with the ring size adjustment too!

My fiancé and I cannot say enough good things about Vito and our new rings. We had somewhat of a vision for what we wanted and Vito helped us figure out the rest, and we're so happy with how they turned out. Professional, informative, and got us within our budget. Highly recommend!

When I set out to find the perfect engagement ring a friend of a friend recommended that I go see Vito at Arka Designs and now I will be the one recommending him to anyone who is looking for custom-designed wedding bands or engagement rings. As a first-time shopper for custom rings, my experience with Vito was nothing short of extraordinary. Navigating the complex and often overwhelming world of jewelry was a new venture for me, but Vito's patience and expertise made the process seamless and enjoyable. From the outset, he took great care to understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. During our initial consultation, which impressively lasted over two hours, Vito's ability to provide deep insights into the practicality and artistry of my desired designs was invaluable. His approach was a perfect blend of professional and personal, attentively listening to my ideas and translating them into viable designs. What truly distinguishes Vito is his remarkable talent for balancing expert guidance with a deep respect for his clients' visions. He carefully walked me through the decision-making process, shedding light on aspects of the design I had not considered. His attention to detail was evident as he identified and suggested refinements to enhance the original design. Moreover, Vito was incredibly mindful of my budget throughout the process. He demonstrated a unique skill in crafting rings that were not only stunning but also aligned with the financial boundaries I had set. This consideration provided immense peace of mind and made the experience even more gratifying. The rings themselves were a testament to Vito's exceptional craftsmanship, surpassing all my expectations in their beauty and elegance. His work is a true embodiment of top-notch artistry in the field of jewelry making. I wholeheartedly recommend Vito to anyone venturing into the world of custom-designed engagement and wedding bands. His expertise in bringing visions to life, combined with his thoughtful and accommodating nature, makes him the ideal jeweler for any occasion. In conclusion, Vito is the quintessential choice for anyone seeking a jeweler who offers expert advice, exquisite craftsmanship, personalized service, and a keen awareness of budgetary considerations. His creations are not merely jewelry; they are masterpieces that symbolize love and dedication. My heartfelt thanks to Vito for making our special moment truly unforgettable. I am truly looking forward to our next visit to get our rings engraved. It's going to be a great day as Vito will also finally get to meet my (now) fiancé, and we'll also be ordering our wedding bands.

Great service from a great person! He m Has a great selection to choose from. He works with you in putting together your rings or any other jewelry you are purchasing. He is not selling you what you see in the case. He guides you through building they jewelry you are looking for! I have referred him to friends and family and he has not let them down either. I have been working with him for almost 20 years.

Vito is the man! I came to him in 2018 to create an engagement ring and I told myself I would come back for a wedding band! In 2023, both my Fiancè and I visited Vito to begin the process of creating our wedding bands. Not only did we purchase wedding bands, but we also purchased the "day of gifts" through Vito (a diamond tennis bracelet, diamond earrings, pearl earrings) and three gold necklaces, for myself. Vito is knowledgeable, professional, and extremely kind! He is honest and will help you create your ideal piece of jewelry. The photos do not do the actual pieces justice. He is my go-to Jeweler!!! Vito, thank you again!!!

Vito is amazing! Absolutely amazing! If you love jewelry, you need Vito in your life.He has been able to create timeless pieces that are incredible. Each piece is of fantastic quality, and is reasonably priced. Most importantly Vito has upmost integrity and is trustworthy. My husband has been going to Vito to design/create/purchase pieces for me for years now and I have loved each one. Vito really knows how to work with his clients to produce beautiful pieces that you will cherish for a lifetime. He does not try to upsell you, but works with you to make sure you are happy with the end product. I am so in love with the most recent piece my husband purchased from Vito to commemorate our 10-year wedding anniversary!

I was fully satisfied with the quality of service and product that I experienced from Arka Designs, and I would like to share the story behind the ring I made for my fiance from Arka Designs.I have been in search of finding a jewelry store that accepts custom design requests as I have a very particular idea and sketch for the ring’s design; the shape, material, and other details. After visiting multiple jewelry stores around Los Angeles, I landed on Arka Designs and decided to make the ring from the place. Here are the following reasons.First, Vito was very open to talking and hearing my stories and ideas about the ring. I am very particular about the designs and concepts of objects, and this ring was so important for me to get it done right that I had so many questions and comments about the ring design. At some point, I felt bad thinking that I had taken too much time away from Vito. However, he always listened, paid attention, and remembered all of my remarks about the ring, and the final result of the ring said it all. Even though this is a review, on this behalf, I would like to thank Vito again.Second, Vito is an experienced jeweler with good insights. His years of experience as a jeweler really helped my idea of design to be solidified with no compromise in its quality. I did not have much experience in jewelry manufacturing, so it was really nice to have someone like Vito who explains about the manufacturing process, step by step, with good details. Vito offers a price range per piece, and he decodes the reason / logic behind each pricing, step by step. I did not want to compromise on any quality and craftsmanship for the piece I had in mind, so I went with the highest option that Vito offered and I am so satisfied and delighted that I chose that option.This last reason is something I can write after my experience of designing a custom piece with Vito, and it is the fact that Vito is a person I (You) can really trust when it comes to jewelry. Jewelry is an item that really requires trust beneath its beauty and look. Our ring did not have diamonds, but when it came to the exact amount of gold that was used and other manufacturing processes involved, Vito was fully transparent about it. We are planning on purchasing jewelry that includes precious stones from Arka Designs in the future, solely due to trust I gained and beautiful pieces I have seen from the store.The moment I saw the finished ring became a very special moment in my life, thanks to Arka Designs. If you are a person like myself who truly cares about the meaning, effort, and design behind jewelry, Arka Design is “the” place for you to stop by.

I 100% recommend Vito if you're in need of an engagement ring! Vito and my (now) fiancé brought my dream ring to life using just a couple photos from my Pinterest page. Vito is extremely knowledgeable and was very patient with my fiancé, explaining the process step by step and providing both virtual and 3D models of the ring before it was complete. He really took my fiancé's input and together they designed a beautiful ring. My fiancé has nothing but kind words to share about his experience with Vito, the customer service was phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back!

Vito and his staff are the utmost professional and caring jewelers I have ever met. They made the buying process for my (now) fiancée's engagement ring so easy! She and everyone who has seen the custom ring absolutely ADORE it. Vito was there for me throughout the process with timeliness. He was able to answer all my questions and dispel any worries with ease. He has an honest business with honest prices and going through the process with him was the best decision hands down. I will be going back to finish the process with the wedding band!

Vito brought my custom engagement ring design vision to life. Among the various jewelers I considered, he stood out as the clear choice. His extensive knowledge and exceptional communication skills were crucial for such an important investment. Throughout the entire ring creation process, Vito guided us every step of the way. We met in person for the consultations where we carefully selected the center stone, received CAD designs for review, and even had a wax mold made for me to try on before finalizing the ring. From there, my fiancé picked up the ring and proposed to me not long after. When I saw the ring in person, I was overwhelmed with excitement because it was everything I dreamed of, and more. I wholeheartedly recommend Arka Designs Fine Jewelry to anyone seeking an outstanding jeweler to work with.

Vito did an amazing job helping me select the perfect ring! He was very kind, honest and helpful throughout the entire process. Never once was he "pushy" .. he made me feel at ease and comfortable selecting the diamond, setting, etc. The ring came out beautifully and it exceeded my expectations! She loved it! I highly recommend choosing Arka for all of your jewelry needs!
