    Good podcast! I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Jacob Mercari ( https://jacobmercari.com ) in creating an engagement ring for my fiancé, and the result surpassed all my expectations. What truly amazed me was the personalized design service offered by Jacob Mercari, which allowed me to create an extraordinary piece that perfectly reflected my partner’s unique personality.
