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 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 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! Rock-n-Gold
Creations and I are in high spirits to satisfy all of our customers with what
they need in the designer jewelry business.
RGC's ultimate goal is to make sure that
everyone can have a piece that captures their personality and will last for a
lifetime. Our Design Centre is focused
on every customer's unique design and making those designs come to life. It
is our pleasure to assist you in any way. Simon E. Mattar RGC Designs 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 Steve Buice "R&G is absolutely the best! After
looking around for the perfect engagement ring for my fiancée and having
little success, I was referred to Simon at R&G. Simon took wonderful care
of us and helped design a custom engagement ring that is absolutely gorgeous!
The uniqueness and quality is unparalleled to anything else I saw while
shopping for the perfect ring! R&G will get all of our jewelry business
and our referrals!!" Roger K. "My husband is an absolute
PERFECTIONIST and R&G pleases him on the first try EVERY TIME!!!!!" Cheryl Buice "The owner and his staff are
knowledgeable, friendly, and talented. The jewelry is heirloom quality, which
I will cherish forever. I am proud to show off my rings. I look forward to
the latest creations that Simon designs. " Yvonne Harris "RGC has always been the most honest
jewelry store that I have been to and they have talent that no other
establishment has." Justin Morgan "Simon Mattar and his staff are truly
talented. I have some of their pieces (My wedding band and engagement ring
just to start). If he doesn't have what you want in the case he can design it
and the product is always better than what you imagined. Plus he keeps up
with the latest techniques and technology for design and fabrication in his
industry." Kristin Tilley "Rock-n-Gold is superior to all other
jewelers with their high quality craftsmanship and custom designs." Cody Morgan "Best re-design of a piece of jewelry I
had done." Leslie Cavagnero "Simon does some incredibly beautiful
pieces. Everyone should stop in and check it out." Sharon Hughes "Most unique, artistic and one of a
kind jewelry. Absolutely beautiful, never saw anything like this
before......." RGC’s
