Dream Ring Brought to Life!

This review is LONG overdue... BUT sometimes it is hard to put pure magic into words, and the engagement ring/wedding band that the team at Harry Merrill made for me is just that. Not to say that I am a super picky person, but my fiance and I had a really specific vision on what we were looking for in my rings. I wanted something very unique, but would stay classic. As I compiled a list of what I did and did not want in my ring, the team patiently helped me bring it to life. They sketched out a rough drawing of my idea right before my eyes and within a week had a CAD drawing put together so I had a realistic idea of what the end result would look like. When my fiance proposed on Maui in April, I was AMAZED at what they created. It was better than I ever imagined and and I am so excited that I get to flaunt this ring for the rest of my life! THANK YOU!

Fantastic Experience and Magnificent Wedding Band

We were shopping for my wedding band and remembered we had purchased sapphire earrings for my niece years ago from Harry Merrill & Son Jewelers and it was a great experience. I knew what I was looking for in concept and Rob told me he could design what I wanted. He showed me different settings to help me determine the depth of the band. Then we discussed whether the stones would be set east/west or north/south and he explained the different prongs and how the light would reflect on the diamonds. He helped me determine the right stone size that would give the effect I wanted. He worked with us on a price that was affordable and kept in touch with us regarding delivery of the ring as we had a short timeline. The result is a stunning ring that I love and everyone who has seen it has commented on the brilliance of the stones. I could not be happier.

We will be heading back to the store as I have a bracelet with stones that his team will use to create earrings and a necklace that they designed.

Bought my dream ring

I bought a Kirk Kara Carmella ring for myself after the sudden death of my husband. Had the names of my dogs and husband engraved inside along with a paisley engraving on the band. It turned out wonderful. Nicole and Rob were wonderful to work with and went above and beyond to please me. Highly recommend!

Very friendly

I went in with my grandmothers rings to create my wedding band and necklace. They were very friendly, funny and made me feel comfortable, leaving all my jewels with them.

Excellent experience!

We were in Philadelphia for a long weekend and decided to make our engagement official. Harry Merril & Son provided us with an exceptional experience. We found the perfect ring and diamond. They set the diamond, sized my ring, and engraved it with a very short turn around time and sent it insured across the country so that it would arrive by a specific date the following week. We highly recommend them and will give them our business again when the opportunity arises.

Great Quality and Service

We went to Harry Merrill based on online reviews when shopping for an engagement ring and ultimately purchased the ring and both of our custom wedding bands here. We were happy with the selection and thought their prices were fair, they were more than willing to work within our budget and did not try to up-sell us on the engagement ring. I did a custom diamond band to match my engagement ring and my husband went with a custom meteorite ring which took a while to make but he was very happy with the results. Thanks again for a great experience!

Fabulous Flexibility with Fabulous People

My fiance went here last week to look and learn about engagement rings(we've been engaged for a few months and having a wedding date, but he wanted to "seal the deal" with some jewelry). He brought in a document with my likes and dislikes as well as a pinterest board he asked me to create. He went on Friday to talk and learn more about engagement rings and the customer design process, but wound up calling me to ask me to stop by, they showed me a fabulous estate ring(that happened to fall into budget, so though I later learned my fiance had already scoped out with Emma how they might custom design anything I liked to make it fall into budget). We ended up going back on Saturday with my mom. We sold back some old family jewelry the family wasn't going to wear, and buying his wedding ring(along with a customer order for my wedding ring). Everyone at this store was absolutely fabulous, super accommodating, walking us through the process and teaching us about jewelry along the way. We went from " not needing jewelry" to having a family jeweler. They treat you like family and give it to you straight with fair prices and flexibility. Looking forward to continuing the process on my custom wedding band!

Love at First Sight!

With my husband and my ring! I wanted a vintage Edwardian style, and Joe worked with Harry and Merrill to find the perfect ring for me. The diamond is from the 1920s, which makes it so cool and unique. I designed my wedding band here as well with estate diamonds. I just can not thank them enough for giving me something beautiful to remind me of my love and commitment to my amazing husband!

Gave me exactly what I desired in my timeframe! Below is an incorrect date of our wedding! Our wedding date was 5/11/1968!!! We had a third band made to honor surviving 50 years together!
