A family legacy

Two generations at the same bench


In 1957, Norman Arendsen opened his own jewelry business in Lansing. Today his son, Mark Arendsen, carries that legacy forward, designing and making exceptional custom and contemporary jewelry by hand.

Whether you already have a design in mind or would like us to create something for you, we'll turn your ideas into a piece that is entirely yours. Mark also takes on the repairs other jewelers turn away.

The custom process

From your idea to a piece you'll wear for life

  1. Consult

    Sit down with Mark to talk through your idea, your budget and how the piece will be worn.

  2. Design

    Your idea, sketch or photo becomes a design, with the right metal and stones chosen together.

  3. Handcraft

    The piece is shaped, set and finished by hand at our bench in downtown Lansing.

  4. Deliver

    We check the fit and finish with you, so it's ready to wear and made to last.

Kind words

What our clients say

“What he created was better than anything we could have picked out of a case. He didn’t just copy the images we showed him. He took the concept, added his own vision and craftsmanship, and completely knocked it out of the park.”

Steve F. · Google review

“Mark designed the engagement ring from my description alone, and he perfectly captured what I had envisioned, even down to the height of the setting.”

Kayla D. · Google review

“For me, trust is key. When I hand over my wedding ring or a piece from my mom, I need confidence that it's in good hands with a skilled craftsman. Mark is all that and more.”

Rebecca K. · Google review

“Mark made our wedding rings 21 years ago. … We appreciate that he cleans them at no charge to maintain their beauty.”
