REVIEWS
Kino M.
“I had thought about buying rings to propose but me being me, I let it drag for weeks (er months) and then I realized I only had a few weeks to buy them before we had to leave the county because I wanted to propose abroad. I am not going to lie, I ended going to M Martin because they advertise themselves as LGBTQ+ friendly and I wanted to give back the community I have gotten so much from (otherwise I would not have been in the situation of proposing to my boyfriend). Stan, who runs the business, was extremely professional, accommodating (I only had 2 weeks to get custom-made rings) and very knowledgeable. He didn’t try to up-sale anything and was very respectful with my rather simplistic ideas. Other stores/businesses (I.e. Tiffany’s) would sell you anything just because you can put your money forward, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they care about you or support you and your community; this is not the case with M Martin at all.”

“My ring was designed to fit the exact diamonds I wanted to keep. We researched ring designs and customized my ring to be uniquely mine. It’s a beautiful ring with a lot of sentimental value. The turnaround time was great and Stan was fun and helpful. I will treasure this forever!”
