"**Stark Studios: A Hidden Gem Awaits!** I had the most incredible experience today at Stark Studios! I brought in a cherished heirloom piece of family jewelry for appraisal and was warmly welcomed by the owner, Larry Stark. Let me tell you, I left with so much more than just an appraisal—I got a masterclass in jewelry! Larry is not just a knowledgeable gemologist; he’s a passionate artist. He took the time to explain the fascinating nuances between invisible and visible diamond settings in a way that a total novice like me could easily grasp. His expertise is matched only by his artistic flair. As I explored the studio, I was captivated by his stunning creations that beautifully blend various gems with unique metals. Each piece is a work of art! I also discovered that Larry designs and creates custom Jewelry and sets heirloom pieces for clients, making it accessible to wear every day. To top it all off, I learned that the ring I inherited from my mom features an invisible setting, a design innovation that dates back to the 1930s by Van Cleef & Arpels! Stark Studio is truly a rare find, and so is the talented Mr. Stark himself. If you're looking for an unforgettable jewelry experience, this is the place to be!"
