History

Established in 2004.

Vanscoy, Maurer & Bash Diamond Jewelers is a marriage of two very prominent businesses in the Susquehanna Valley. Mark Maurer, owner of Van Scoy Diamond Mine, and Bill Bash, owner of Bash Jewelers decided to make a move in May of 2004 to combine their stores. In doing this, Vanscoy, Maurer & Bash Diamond Jewelers was born.

Bash Jewelers started as Jack Schwartz Jewelers in 1952 when Harry Bash and Jack Schwartz founded the company. Harry Bash bought out Jack in 1960. Bill Bash joined his uncle and upon Harry’s retirement continued to grow the business. In 2004, with hopes of an upcoming retirement, Bill joined forces with Mark Maurer.

Mark Maurer was running his own successful operation, Van Scoy Diamond Mine, which was in business since 1981. Van Scoy operated largely with diamond sales whereas Bash also had many of the up and coming designer lines. With that merger, both Maurer and Bash created the premier destination jewelry store in Central Pennsylvania.

Mark Allan M.

Business Owner

Mark has been in the jewelry business for 17 years. His bench jeweler and stone setter training included an apprenticeship under the current lead designer for I.B. Goodman, Co. His bench experience enables Mark to truly understand and appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of our designer engagement ring lines like SimonG and Verragio, as well as our very own VMB line.

Mark has an educational background from the GIA with an expertise in diamonds. Not only can Mark explain color and clarity, but also the importance of geometry and how it affects the true beauty of a diamond.

It has been 11 years since our corporate merger with Bash Jewelers. Since the merger Mark has worked with some of the leading designers in the jewelry industry including David Yurman, Roberto Coin and John Hardy.

Mark’s affinity for watches has grown since our partnership with Rolex. Through his education in Swiss timepieces, he understands and can explain why Rolex is the world’s finest timepiece.
