 The History of RGC

 

The history of Rock-n-Gold Creations stems from the dedication to the trade and the passion to grow. Owner and founder Simon Mattar built upon a childhood of art, engineering, and creativity by attending the Gemological Institute of America. After graduating in the top three of his class in 1988 Simon began to work as a professional jeweler. He first started at the Miramar Naval base where he developed his skills and began to focus on custom jewelry.  Then later Simon worked for a major San Diego Jeweler.  As the master jeweler on staff Simon was able to practice and develop his unique design abilities.

 

On Oct 5th, 1992, Simon established Rock-n-Gold Creations as a trade and manufacturing shop in San Diego. While the manufacturing side of RGC's business steadily grew Simon hired two talented jewelers and began to build a private clientele list. By 1996, RGC became well known for its manufacturing quality & efficiency expanding its horizons with a full showroom and a new state of the art workshop. With this rapid growth RGC employed seven full time jewelers and began servicing all of San Diego's military bases as well as manufacturing for many southern California's exclusive jewelers.

 

Throughout those years of growth Simon continued to develop his designing skills. He continued to expand upon his body of original design work and in 1999 made the commitment to focus on designing for the individual. This decision was well received with a long list of satisfied clients and their many referrals.  Yet again, RGC was on the fast track for growth.

 

In 2001, RGC moved to their current location on Clairemont Mesa Blvd to better serve the San Diego community. While continuing to serve some of Southern California’s more exclusive jewelers RGC expanded its development of completely unique designs. With these accomplishments RGC made the goal of providing the highest quality designs, impeccable workmanship and an unmatched dedication to customer service a reality. RGC designer jewelry is manufactured with the highest level of integrity and the finest materials available. To maintain this high level of excellence RGC only uses collection quality diamonds and gemstones with their pieces.

 

Today RGC continues to be on the cutting edge of the design and manufacturing world of quality handmade jewelry. Combining the latest in technology with the finest in old school jewelry techniques RGC has created their "Cool as Ever Creations.”  These one of a kind designs are more than just pieces of jewelry. "Cool as Ever Creations” are art; "Cool as Ever Creations” are life. A truly unique combination of masterful design skills combined with a theme or story creates these timeless masterpieces a necessity of luxury.  For example, Simon made an anniversary ring for a customer that had custom cut diamonds symbolizing the original location of the husband’s proposal!

Customer Quotes

“I went to 3 competitors in the Jewelry business and none of them wanted to tackle the job of creating a ring with unique shaped diamonds. I was referred to Simon and he immediately told me it would be difficult but it was definitely possible to accomplish what I wanted. He is a Master Jeweler. I just had him create a new and different creation for our 27th anniversary. He is the designer who can do it and do it perfectly. He is the best in San Diego and beyond. You will love the way he makes your dreams come true.”
