Nicole Mera

Nikki was wonderful to work with from start to finish! She is very knowledgeable about the different aspects of the engagement rings/diamonds and explained different options thoroughly. She listened carefully to the design I wanted and the ring came out exactly as expected! She has always been quick to answer any questions that I had throughout the process. I feel very confident in recommending Nikki for any of your jewelry desires!

Our entire experience with Nicole Mera was a delight. Not only is Nicole extremely professional, organized and knowledgeable (oh wow, does she know her stuff!), she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her warm, infectious personality provided a comfortable environment to ask questions and explore options during our one-on-one private consultation. With Nicole’s exquisite attention to detail, she helped combine favorite elements and offered suggestions to ultimately create the perfect ring. Once my fiancé proposed and I was able to see the finished ring on my finger, I was in pure euphoria. I absolutely love my beautiful ring. I can't stop looking at it and everyone who sees it is amazed. Nicole Mera truly created the ring of my dreams!

Nikki created the most beautiful wedding ring set for me. My diamond fell out of my original ring, and Nikki helped me get over the emotional side of the loss by using her creativity, professionalism and genuine interest to replace and remake my rings. The result is stunning! I will continue using Nikki for all of my jewelry needs in the future.

Nikki is so amazing and did an incredible job on my custom ring! Every step of the way, Nikki kept me informed of the process. She is a perfectionist, and it definitely shows! I am so incredibly happy with my ring and hope to use her again in the near future.

Working with Nikki was hands down the best decision I could’ve made when shopping for my fiancés engagement ring. Professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, and value is something you expect when looking for a quality jeweler , … Nikki goes above and beyond that on a bad day! Communication, education about a subject that , let’s be honest can be overwhelming and leave most feeling lost, and a true love for what she does is what sets Nikki apart from the rest. She took her time in getting to know things about my fiancé that ultimately helped her assist me in creating the most beautiful custom ring! You can feel that Nikki is invested in the project just as much as you are! Someone with a complete passion for her craft and an understanding that what she is doing is helping people tell their love story! Those are all the things I didn’t know I needed in a jeweler! Hands down a mistake if you use anyone else! She’s the absolute best out there!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nikki. She designed the engagement ring of my dreams! I worked in jewelry during college and law school, so I came to the process with a lot of ideas and opinions. Nikki took the time to listen to what I wanted, make suggestions, and ensure every detail was perfect. She incorporated several heirloom diamonds from both my family and my fiancé’s family. She was also able to source matching diamonds to seamlessly complete the look. Her craftsmanship is unrivaled, and everywhere I go, people are impressed with my ring’s overall design and construction. Since receiving my engagement ring six months ago, my sister has worked with Nikki to create a beautiful Maid of Honor gift, my future sister-in-law is working with Nikki to create her dream wedding band, and I have begun the process of designing a wedding band for myself and my Fiancé. Needless to say, Nikki has a customer for life in me, and I will continue to recommend her to all of my friends and family.

Lovely jewelry ! Highly recommend! So glad to have found Nicole Mera. Will definitely purchase from her again

Nikki is absolutely amazing to work with! She made the entire process seamless and fun and our rings are perfect. We are forever grateful for her help and especially her incredible attention to detail! Not to mention she is the sweetest person ever! Truly an excellent experience!

You would be hard pressed to find a designer that is more prompt with responses to questions, setting up meeting times and giving great feedback through the whole process. Nicki impressed us with her honesty and professional advice about what band design would best fit our lifestyles and stylistic desires. I felt Prioritized through our entire interaction and not to mention the final products are BEAUTIFUL!

I cannot express to you how gorgeous the engagement ring turned out, and how wonderful it feels to be engaged to my love, with this stunning piece on my hand! Jorge and I are beyond thrilled to have worked with you and created something so unique and breathtaking, and we can’t recommend you enough! Our hearts are full as we step forward to planning a wedding. We could not be more grateful for all of your help, communication, and the efforts you went to to make our experience enjoyable, and so personal, even with Jorge being out at sea. Still just in love with all the tiny details that went into this piece. Thank you again, and we are looking forward to seeing you in the future! All the best, Rachel and Jorge

Nikki was so helpful and knowledgeable with the engagement ring selection process. I would not go with anyone else when looking for rings! I'm a busy guy and she was able to accommodate to my schedule and budget. Nikki made the whole process enjoyable with zero stress. I knew I was in good hands. I would recommend her services to anyone!

Nikki was so kind and professional throughout the ring designing and purchasing process. She educated us on the process, showed us a large selection of rings she designed, went over details the details of the ones I liked, and listened to my vision. Once we had narrowed down a few possible designs, my fiancé took over and created my custom ring with her. He said it could not have been an easier process and she walked him through everything from start to finish. I love my ring and we would both have and would continue to highly recommend Nikki to friends and anyone who needs a high quality piece of jewelry.

Nikki was nothing short of incredible. She took the time to meet with us and actually listen to what we wanted. She created the most PERFECT band for me that was everything I dreamed of but couldn’t see it in my own head. She listens to what you want, your budget and style. I’ll never buy a ring anywhere else.

Nikki was wonderful to work with when creating my fiancé's custom men's wedding band! The system she uses for men's bands was wonderfully organized and made it easy for my fiancé to envision what his custom ring would look like. The band turned out beautifully and the turn-around was very reasonable. Nikki is incredibly sweet, patient, and helped guide us smoothly through the process of choosing wedding bands. We definitely recommend Nicole Mera to anyone looking for a quality yet accessible custom jewelry experience!

Nikki was a pleasure to work with; her quick responses and ability to jump on a call with little notice made the ring purchase process worry free. For such an important/large purchase I felt like I was in great hands every step of the way, will definitely be working with Nikki on wedding bands and other future purchases.

I worked with Nikki from Nicole Mera to design a new wedding band for my husband for our anniversary. I had seen her work online and loved it! I reached out to her and she quickly replied and set up a meeting with me so I could go over all of the options with different bands. It could easily be overwhelming but she made the process very smooth and straightforward, and sent me mock ups of the few different choices I was looking at! That was a huge help in my deciding factor. We got his band in last week; I surprised him with an engraving, and he loved it!! I cannot recommend Nicole Mera enough for your custom fine jewelry needs.

My experience with Nicole Mera, Nikki, was amazing. She exceeded all I had even dreamed about. This was such a wonderful and memorable experience.

Nicole was perfection. She drove from San Antonio to Austin to meet with us and was so professional and knowledgable. We adored her and the result of our wedding bands. Thank you Nicole!!!

Nicole was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. We had an amazing experience working with her and she gave us a great personalized service to cover our specific needs. We are very happy with the design and quality of our rings and would 110% work with her again.

Nicole is AMAZING!! I had previously worked with her on creating a custom cocktail ring for my Mom as well as a custom necklace for me- BOTH of which were created from VERY meaningful heriloom stones and she created AMAZING pieces! So of course we would want to use her to create our lifetime wedding bands. And let me tell you what, this woman went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us! With the COVID we had a very small window to pull our wedding off and she moved heaven and earth to create our beautiful rings and even HAND deliver them to us the day before the wedding. You're asking to be disappointed if you don't choose Nicole Mera for YOUR wedding!!! P.S. Her jewelry cleaner is amazing, get some to make your ring absolutely show stopping shine!!

Nikki was an absolute gem to work with. She was very friendly, attentive, and provided the best customer service. I am obsessed with my wedding band and my fiancé’s band. My fiancé is normally picky and unamused at wedding things, but designing our custom bands together was one of the more enjoyable experiences for him. I was very nervous about the band being flush with my engagement ring or being too bulky and taking away from my Marquis diamond. Nikki made sure to listen to what we cared about and steered clear from anything we disliked. Nikki also made sure to keep us informed during every step of the process and made me feel more than comfortable trusting her with my engagement ring and band. My ring set came back perfect and I can’t wait to show it off. Nikki you’ve got a customer for life!

Working with Nicole Mera was the best experience my fiancé and I could have asked for. Nikki was considerate, knowledgeable and a blast to work with! My fiancé’s band is one of a kind with a unique sense of style and symbolism that we looked for in his wedding band. He can’t wait to wear it on our Wedding Day. Thank you Nikki for everything! We can’t wait to work with you on other jewelry pieces in the future!

My husband is not a jewelry man and always leans towards simplicity and authenticity. His band needed to reflect his personality but also be a symbol of our family. Nikki held my hand through the entire process from concept to delivery, ensuring a perfect wedding band. Nikki was at my side as we investigated the ring size and band width to guarantee a flawless design and delivery! We used wood from a tree at our house to inlay into a gold band and my husband loves it! Thank you Nicole Mera!

Nikki with Nicole Mera was so lovely to work with start to finish. She reset a diamond we already had to create my dream piece as well as our wedding bands. She was incredibly patient during the design process and now that we have the finished product in hand I can confidently say she completely understood our vision, we couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, our wedding has been postponed to due COVID and our rings were still at the jeweler when Los Angeles went into lockdown. Nikki called us MINUTES after this was announced on the news to check on us and give us options regarding where we would like our pieces kept until they could be finished. We felt so taken care of through this entire process and can't wait to use her in the future!

Nikki provides outstanding customer service, is very punctual, and delivers an amazing product. Highly recommended!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nicole Mera. The whole wedding planning process is a bit stressful but she made picking out wedding bands so easy and fun! She provides the best service and the highest quality pieces. Highly recommend!!

Nikki was excellent to work with. She helped me create the perfect engagement ring and wedding band for my wife. The ring is gorgeous and has some very nice custom flair that only a ring designed by Nikki could have. She treats her customers with the greatest of care, is a great communicator, and truly puts her heart into every one of her creations. I would reccommend her to anyone that is looking for a custom wedding band.

There aren’t enough words to describe how happy I am with my new engagement ring from Nicole Mera, I couldn’t have dreamt up anything more stunning. Since my fiancé popped the question a few weeks back, Nikki has been so helpful and dedicated in making sure that everything has been perfect for me. The ring was a little on the larger side so she organized for it to be resized, the whole process was so so easy and comfortable. The re-sizing was perfect, done in just a couple days and when I got my ring back it was so beautiful and shiny again! I get so many compliments on my ring, and knowing the love, attention to detail and time that Nikki and my fiancé put into designing and making it a reality makes it even more special. I couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t choose anyone else to create an important piece - I already can’t wait to start working on our wedding bands! Thank you Nikki, for creating my dream engagement ring and making me feel like a princess every day!

Can you give more than 5 stars? I wish you could because Nicole Mera deserves 10. I’ve never purchased any type of custom jewelry. I only knew I wanted an engagement ring and it had to be unique and special. Nicole was amazing she walked me thru every step of the way. We talked about stone selection, style of the ring, and giving it a personal touch. She was patient and informative. Her responsiveness was on point. I couldn’t be happier that I chose her. My fiancée now has the ring of her dreams and guess what Nicole helped me design it. Thank you so much we will be getting our wedding bands thru her as well!!!

Nikki was fantastic from start to finish in creating the most beautiful sapphire band along with my husband as my push gift. He gave Nikki the specifics and they worked together to create EXACTLY what I wanted without me ever seeing anything until I received my band. Her passion for what she does is so obvious in her work. Not only did she create the band I wanted but also helped with my engagement ring sizing. The process was flawless and she had it made in just a few shorts weeks.

We are SO happy we chose Nicole Mera to create a custom ring for us. We wanted to create a ring for a loose emerald we found and purchased in Bogotá. We knew we had to find a jeweler with the right experience and care that is required for setting emeralds. We could not have made a better choice. Nikki was so knowledgeable and really helped guide us through finding the right design that spoke to us. She worked with us patiently and made the process so exciting. Even when we had hesitations on sizing or look, she could picture it mentally and helped walk us through it, the end result was incredible. Her customer service is excellent! She even accommodated our request for pictures throughout the process of making the ring, which is so special for us. She has my trust for any future purchases. I highly recommend Nicole Mera for any custom pieces and can definitely say I will be a returning customer.

Nikki was such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for that extra special experience when designing the perfect piece for any occasion. I connected with Nikki through my now Fiance who had gone to High School with Nikki. We were looking for someone who would help us through the process of designing an engagement ring that was both personalized to who we were, and what we were looking for, but also considerate of our budget. Nikki was such a pleasure to work with from day one. She was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions and ensure I was comfortable and involved throughout the design process. She was quick to respond via long distance communication, and helped me throughout every stage of journey knowing how special this time was to me and my fiance. I truly felt like she was invested in not only the ring I was looking for but also the meaning and excitement of the occasion. She helped me add touches of personality to the ring that made it extra special and unique, and my fiance and I are so thrilled with how the beautiful engagement ring turned out. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so glad we were able to work with Nikki!

Nicki takes your vision and makes it a reality. She has beautiful and unique pieces to see and get ideas from. She took my grandmother's diamond and made it into a beautiful ring. She was patient and truly cared that I was happy with my ring. I would not have trusted just anyone, with such a special piece.

One of my side stones fell from my engagement ring and Nikki was so helpful in walking me step by step on the process of building a new ring and keeping a similar look as my original. She is so knowledgeable when it comes to stones and made my experience so easy and wonderful. She knew exactly what I wanted and nailed it. I am so happy with my ring and am so thankful to Nikki for her professionalism and excellent customer service.

I couldn't have made a better choice than working with Nicole Mera. Nikki made the process a delight and stress-free. My partner and I wanted to do some of the initial research and exploration together, before I was left in charge with selecting details and watching it come together. Nikki did an amazing job of facilitating this and was a constant ally throughout the entire process. The ring she created is stunning and completely unique to my partner and I, which just makes it all the more special. I can't stress enough how fantastic Nikki was-- I highly recommend Nicole Mera and can't wait until we get to work with her again on another piece of jewelry.

I don't even know where to start with Nikki. She is so incredibly sweet and so easy to work with. My fiancé worked with Nicole Mera to get a perfect engagement ring and I am way beyond happy we went back for our wedding bands. Coming from two people who had NO idea what we were doing, Nikki went step-by-step with us through the entire process to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. She made this step of engagement so much fun rather than a chore to figure it out on our own. Nikki has a heart of gold and I have already recommended her to my friends who are thinking about getting married. We can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us!

Picking out an engagement ring for the first time can be intimidating. However, Nikki is super helpful and detailed regarding everything in the process. She is so knowledgeable about diamonds and taught me so much along the way. I came to her with some ideas and she helped me narrow it down and created the perfect ring for my wife. She made the entire process seamless and easy. I couldn’t have done it without her. Nicole Mera also created my ring which my wife and I selected together and it could not have been more incredible working with Nikki. She is so talented and professional. We were blown away and look forward to working with her for years to come.

I can't imagine going through the process of finding the right engagement ring without the help of the team at Nicole Mera. Nikki was absolutely amazing to work with and made a process I knew nothing about very simple and easy. I absolutely love my wedding band and the engagement ring and wedding band for my wife are incredible. I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else!

Can't imagine having gone through this process with anyone else. We didn't lift a finger - Nikki worked around our busy schedules and never made us feel rushed. The end result is more beautiful than we even hoped for, and extra special with the personal touches Nikki helped us create. We were so impressed with what we saw that I also commissioned a special gift as a "thank you" to my mother. Nikki used her contacts in the industry to find the perfect stone to make my vision come to life, and worked with me to make sure I didn't run over budget. The quality in every piece is undeniable, especially when viewed next to any store-bought pieces. Thank you to Nikki and her whole extended team for such a wonderful experience, especially during what can often be a crazy time! I am a customer for life!

I absolutely love my Lashbrook gold/meteorite wedding band from Nicole Mera!  Besides its unique design and understated appearance, it fits like a glove and is sooooo comfortable.  I’m looking to buy another that matches my platinum watch.  I’d recommend this to anyone who wants comfort for a daily wearable item, and a uniquely designed high quality band at a reasonable price.

All I can say is - WOW! Not only is her work truly incredible, but her prices are fair and her customer service is awesome! I wanted custom-made diamond earrings for my wedding day. Nikki helped me design/create beautiful diamond studs that I wear every day. They're the perfect earring for a dressy night or a casual day.

We wanted unique wedding bands that showcased our personality. After looking through all the reviews in the area, we stumbled upon Nicole Mera. Nikki is not only a fast responder to all emails - from beginning to end - she is a great communicator who kept us in the loop at all times during our ring process. Nikki came up to Austin to personally show us different styles and ideas for our rings. There are endless possibilities with Nikki as your guide. She also taught us a lot about different ring metals and stones in short amount of time. (One of us has a science degree.) Our final end products were exactly what we wanted: unique, durable band for him and a customized, hand engraved eternity band for her that evokes that art deco band style. All within the stated budget! Nikki hand delivered these rings to us - making another trip to Austin. She stands by her work for a lifetime and when we look at the craftsmanship, we agree these will last. We felt we were in great hands with her and look forward to working with her again for future, special, jewelry needs.

We couldn’t be happier with our Nicole Mera rings! Nikki is extremely well-versed and enthusiastic about gemstones and rings. She made what can be a stressful process fun and exciting. She helped me pick the perfect stone (GIA certified) and worked with me to come up with the design I had envisioned for the ring. I think what really sets Nicole Mera apart is Nikki’s passion for fine jewelry and her ability to individualize the process for each client - she really took her time with us, making sure we were happy with the final result. Not to mention, now I know a lot about diamonds and rings that I didn’t know before. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, Nikki!

My fiancé and I lived in Dallas and spent Christmas in San Antonio visiting family this past year. From our first meeting in San Antonio with Nikki on Christmas Eve to the engagement at the Four Seasons in Austin Texas just last week, Nikki was punctual, professional and an incredibly caring person who was looking to create the perfect ring for my fiancé. She worked with us at our initial consultation and then with me exclusively up to the surprise proposal. Nikki walked me through the design aspect, the intricacies of selecting the diamond and every personalized customization we came up with. Everything from a one of a kind diamond, a halo diamond with surrounding diamond details, to the signature yellow diamond on the inside of the band, and even a very special personalized engraving. I would recommend Nikki to any friend or family member who is looking to design and create an incredible ring that is truly one of a kind. She is compassionate, detailed and an incredibly talented gemologist and designer.

OBSESSED with my Nicole Mera rings!! My husband worked with Nikki to create a one of a kind engagement ring that is beyond gorgeous. It feels so 'me'. I worked with her to create my wedding band which not only works perfectly with my engagement ring but it suits my personal style as well. Together and separately, I am constantly getting compliments on them - they are simply stunning! Nikki is passionate about creating beautiful pieces made with the best of quality and craftsmanship. It was such a pleasure working with her and I would highly suggest doing so!

From Drew (my now-husband) “Although it’s typical for a groom to take their fiancé-to-be shopping for a ring, I truly wanted my proposal to be a surprise – that left me on my own for ring selection. Without Nikki’s knowledge and great eye, I wouldn’t have stood a chance. Knowing I wanted a round diamond, Nikki showed me more ideas than I even knew existed. Ultimately, by combining a few elements of the most beautiful designs, Nikki came up with an absolutely stunning halo ring that floored my fiancé. To this day, the ring gets flattering comments everywhere we go – even strangers! We couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Nikki!” Nikki and Drew created THE most perfect ring a girl could have ever asked for, but I as a bride also had the experience of working with Nikki firsthand as I got my husband a second wedding band just for fun! Nikki worked with me to pick out the right band and right size and my husband loves it! Nikki was so knowledgeable and responsiveness throughout the process and I couldn't have done it without her. We're both so happy we were able to work with Nicole Mera during such an important time in our lives. We are over the moon with how great our rings are and loved working with Nikki!

My sweet now-husband followed my queue and proposed with a solitaire oval diamond on a dainty band. However, at that time neither him or I knew anything about settings, mountings, or quality eternity bands. Luckily, Nikki knows everything about quality jewelry and patiently walked us through every option to meet the ultimate look I wanted to achieve. Nikki reset and redesigned my engagement ring around my beloved solitaire on a brilliant eternity band, and I'll never forget how my husband and I were both blown away when we pulled the final product out of the shipping box when we received the redesigned engagement ring and my eternity wedding band. The center stone of the engagement ring looked twice as large as it had before! There was genuinely a moment where we questioned whether the stone was the same because it looked brighter and bigger. Nikki's vision and unbeatable craftsmanship elevated my engagement ring to a level I never knew existed. Our only regret is that we didn't start the process with Nikki first. I had so much fun working on my rings with Nikki that I commissioned her to create an eternity band for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday present with her kids names inscribed inside, and a pair of asscher cut earrings for myself! We both accept compliments on behalf of Nikki’s work every day!
