“We truly cannot have been more happy with our experience getting our wedding rings at Mark Patterson! Having never bought fine jewelry before, we were not sure what to expect, but we felt so comfortable from the first time we walked in. Both Mark and Judy helped us find both my engagement ring and our wedding bands, and were so transparent and kind throughout the whole process. We quickly learned how meticulous and detail oriented Mark is, and that each piece of jewelry is carefully made on site there. We also felt that their prices were so reasonable compared to other places we looked at - especially for the quality. We cannot recommend Mark Patterson enough to anyone that we know!”
“I had such a great experience at Rainbow Piercing and Jewelry! The front staff were super helpful and welcoming, and the whole space had this really bright, pink, queer-friendly vibe that felt so affirming—especially refreshing for Newport Beach. It’s not always easy to find places that openly celebrate LGBTQIA+ folks, so it meant a lot to walk into a studio where you can just be yourself and feel safe.
What stood out the most, though, was our piercer, Rose. She was incredibly attentive and gentle, especially with my wife, who’s a bit more sensitive to pain and needles. Rose took the time to do a practice run, check in multiple times, and made sure consent and comfort came first every step of the way. That kind of care and patience isn’t something I’ve seen at other studios—it felt like the norm here, which says a lot about their values. We left feeling cared for, seen, and honestly kind of glowing.”
“I had a wonderful shopping experience with the owner, Irma. She personally showed me many items in the store. I love the quality and comfort of her merchandise. I was just window shopping, but ended up purchasing a blouse, 2 pairs of shoes and earrings. I don't live in the area, but when I visit again, I'll be back.”
