“THE PERFECT PRODUCT BEGINS WITH AN IDEA FROM THE CUSTOMER, A VISION FROM THE DESIGNERS, AND TECHNOLOGY THAT IS CHANGING THE WAY WE DO THINGS.”
A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Despite being considered the first company in Pitts- burgh where you can see and receive a complete qual- ity product from beginning to end, Anthony and Paul agree that their devotion to their businesses means that their family suffers. As a jeweler, or an entrepre- neur in general, much of their time is dedicated to de- signing and coming up with new ideas. Lack of com- munication from excessive work takes a toll on their home life, and the pressure to balance both is not easy. Anthony recently celebrated the birth of his new child, where he had to spend time in and out of the hospital, and less time away from his source of income.
So what drives these creative designers to keep going when their sacrificing their personal life for work? The love of it. Anthony recalls times when people have shown him rings he’s made when he was seventeen years old and the longevity that his rings have keeps his passion going. Paul admires the fact that they’re giving customers something greater than they imag-
ined possible. The jewelry that Anthony Mock and Paul Bierker create is timeless and they take pride in delivering a beautiful piece that customers can afford. Everything Anthony sells is made with detail and class the intent to deliver a lifestyle.
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
As for what lies ahead for Mock & Co., Anthony plans on furthering his business and excelling in customer satisfaction. Purple accents and royalty looking piec- es with high-fashion accents and small stones are projected to be the next popular trend just in time for Christmas. Paul believes rose gold will also be in high-demand. Together, the designers aim to continue this family-like atmosphere and hope to build up the Mock & Co. label even more-gaining more exposure and growing an extensive fan base.
