In 1986, they established their own jewelry design firm in the heart of New York City's diamond district. Mark says of his wife and partner, Josette, "My training as a goldsmith/jewelry gave me the skills I needed to implement designs, but Josette had the vision. As a designer, sculptor and painter, she has an artistic eye that has helped define our creations". In 2010, the designers opened their first showroom and studio in Corona Del Mar, CA, just in time to celebrate their achievement of 25 years in business.
