Mark,

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your beautiful gems of wisdom today! Being with you refreshes my spirit and calms my soul. When I first met you, I was dangling towards the very end of the very last strand of my rope! Even then, I knew you were a wonderful person. Things were so dark for me then, and you stood out like a shining star. Now when I see you, it is a revelation of how far I have come on my journey since 2003...it reminds me to always keep faith and hope!

Enjoyed your article on "amethysts." My heart-shaped amethyst ring from you brings me constant pleasure. I think of it as my "puple heart of courage!" I will treasure it forever!

I am excited to give Vena her necklace tomorrow!

Attached is a prayer that I adapted, which I hope you will enjoy. I say it often every day!

Peace and Love,
Monica

Mark,

Thank you for calling to let me know you finished sizing my new ring. I admit I was taken off guard by your call and probably didn't sound as appreciative as I was. Thanks for mailing it to me in CA promptly.

My friend Rocco and I visited the store to buy some gifts for my family members and I ended up also buying the faceted black onyx man's ring for myself. Just want you to know how happy I am with the ring; I receive compliments on it when I wear it. All my gifts from Argenti were well received and I look forward to being a continuing customer - great designs and fairly priced!

I hope you had great holidays! Happy New Year,
Ron K

Dear Mr. Argenti,

My husband and I came into your store on 12/30/08 (we were the couple from D.C. area who bought a lot of your less costly items; my husband bought the leather bracelet). Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I have already had a comment on the heart shaped cubic necklace set from one of my senior partners -- who buys very nice jewelry for his wife ---- he was very impressed with the design and thought I was sporting some real diamonds. I am enjoying my new jewelry and I am certain I will be either stopping back by or ordering jewelry from you in the future.

Best regards,
Melissa

Mark, Thank you again for your time and friendliness on my recent visit to Florida. I so appreciate the design of the jewelry I purchased. I have had many compliments on the earrings I bought and my son in law told me I wasn't to out do him with the purchase of the beautiful necklaces I bought for my daughters:) Hoping to see you again next year. Penny

Hey Mark: Your work is beautiful! The Science of Mind pendant you made for me is my favorite piece of all time - for what it means, yes, but also for the beautiful craftsmanship. I haven't been to the new store - will have to come shopping - birthdays and anniversary coming up. - David M.

Dear Mark,

I am a blessed lady who received the gift of a turquoise heart that you designed. It was given to me for my birthday from my friend Roger R.

I want to thank you for creating such a beautiful and magical piece of jewelry. I feel like an enchanted Princess when I put it on, and I always receive many compliments. It has become my lucky charm.

Thank you for making my heart happy.

Mark:

It was great seeing you and the new store yesterday. As we mentioned, it was on our "vacation agenda" to stop in and see you. We are both glad we did. Congrats! The new shop is great.

I wanted to say thanks. I love my beautiful jewelry. It was great that I was able to add six new pieces to my Argenti Collection. As always, your unique attention to detail and quality, along with the exquisite craftsmanship makes us loyal customers return again and again!

I wanted to share an interesting story. After I left the shop yesterday wearing the Lauderdale Palm you had recommended, I got stopped three separate times by women telling me how beautiful it was and asking where I got it. Paul (the hubby) was amazed. I just laughed as it happens to me so often when I wear one of your pieces in Philly. But this is in Florida--too funny. I am happy to report that I had told each of them where I got it.

Please do keep in touch and let me know how things are going and when you have new designs coming out.

Warmest regards,
Gazelle

Hi Gazelle &Paul,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for making my showroom a destination. I am sincerely honored that you continue to admire and wear my jewelry designs. I have made many friends that are also customers along my journey at Argenti and I am blessed to have this privilege.

Thank you for all your sincere and heart felt wishes in my new location. It has been exciting and with the help of the universe everything is truly wonderful now.

I will continue to design creative pieces at affordable prices so you will always be adorned in unique jewelry that will make your life a beautiful experience.

Also, thank you for the idea for the gemstone earrings--I will definitely consider to making them ASAP.

The story about the palm tree design is very interesting because many other people who have purchased it and wore that necklace had the same experience as you did.
I am just grateful that you are wearing something of mine that brings you compliments and happiness.

Hope you have a wonderful, relaxing and warm stay in Florida.

I just have to say once more....thank you... for your patronage.

Regards,
Mark

Mark,

It was great talking to you and I am so glad that all is going so well. I knew it would. You have a great store and great collections! You are one of the only reasons I miss Fort Lauderdale.

Please ship the earrings to my work address.

Thanks again I look forward to seeing you soon and continuing to purchase gorgeous baubles!

Dear Mark:

How thrilled we were when we went on your site this morning to find our picture that you took! That is a first for us and we feel like celebrities!!! That was so very nice of you and we will always cherish our time spent with you and in your beautiful store. I am absolutely thrilled with my blue topaz/Australian opal ring and adore wearing it. It means so much that you designed and made it and it's one of a kind...also a first for me. Mary Lou loves her beautiful mother of pearl and onyx necklace you designed and can hardly wait to show all her friends in Baltimore.

We arrived home Sunday night after a wonderful and memorable week in Ft. Lauderdale. Our condo at the Marriott was gorgeous with a million dollar view...that we could even see from our bed at night and the skyline of the large buildings on Las Olas were directly in our view!

We thank you for the time you spent with us and the wonderful conversation we had. We look forward, hopefully and God willing, to another trip next year. Have a terrific grand opening and wish we could be a part of it.

Sincerely,

Nan & Bill Bettinger and Mary Lou Strohman
