MARK KATZEFF

Edmonton Award Winning Goldsmith & Designer

Combining European influences with unique textures and bold, modern lines, Mark designs most pieces himself. He strives to accommodate a wide range of tastes, styles and budgets to create pieces that suit anyone.

With over 32 years experience in the jewellery industry, Mark has won several awards at the local, national, and international levels. While this is an amazing feat, the appreciation he receives from his clients is worth much more to him than the glory of winning an award. 

To make sure that his clients receive the best value for their money, Mark only uses the best quality of gemstones and precious metals for his jewellery, sourcing it from reliable sellers all over the world. Most of the jewellery is handcrafted, resulting in pieces that excel in uniqueness. Mark personally oversees the creation of every item of jewellery to ensure that his quality and high standards are upheld. His eye for detail and his consultation-based design services set him apart from other jewellers and have brought him recognition worldwide.
