    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!

    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.

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Hello Heather,
    Thank you so much for letting us be apart of your special occasion. We are so happy the ring came out perfect! Please enjoy it and stop in any time for a free cleaning (:

    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.

    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!

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Caroline,
    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you and Joe. We are so pleased you had such a positive experience and we are happy to be your family jeweler (:

    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!

    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!

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Kelly,

    Thank you so much for the sweet review! We are so happy you are enjoying all of your beautiful jewelry. Best of luck to the both of you (:

    I both got my fiance's grandmothers antique ring resized here (for my right hand) and custom designed my engagement ring here. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed working with the staff at Harry Merrill. I fully intended on "shopping around" but fell in love with the place and didn't feel the need to go anywhere else! They restored my estate antique ring to "like new" in addition to resizing it and even had it ready in time for my upcoming trip to visit my fiance. It looks gorgeous! I had a general idea what I wanted for my engagement ring but was having trouble finding something. The staff (including Robert) sat with me for an hour and showed me several different center diamonds to choose from, worked with me to design my dream ring and never made me feel pressured or uncomfortable. It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to get my ring next week!

    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!

    Robert and the whole staff at Harry Merrill and Son were absolutely the best to work with. I purchased my wife’s engagement ring in March 2016. I went into their store not knowing a whole lot about rings or exactly what I was looking for. After speaking with Robert, they were able to help me find the perfect engagement ring without any of the pressure that I figured would accompany a ring purchase. The quality of the diamond is great, the ring is very unique, and she receives many compliments on her ring. My wife and I like them so much that we purchased both of our wedding bands from Harry Merrill and Son as well. They were easy to work with and so willing to answer any of our questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase wedding rings and other fine jewelry in Philadelphia.

    Thank you Bill. It is our pleasure to have been of help and to be a part of this most special occasion. We really appreciate your taking the time to share your experience on Wedding Wire.

    Harry Merrill was incredible. From the second we choose them to the time of delivery, their ability to design and deliver a wedding room was amazing. I could rave on and on about the friendliness of the staff, quality of the purchase, or guidance in purchasing they were simple the best.

    Stop looking and go see Harry Merrill now.

    We were looking for a vintage engagement ring for me, and then had both of our bands custom made. We could not have found a better partner than Robert at Harry Merrill. The entire team here is warm and welcoming and they carry the best selection of estate jewelry on Jeweler's Row. My husband's custom made band gets compliments all the time and they listened to exactly what he wanted and brought it to life. So easy to work with.

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Thank you Meghan! Indeed our pleasure. We appreciate your taking the time to share your experience on Wedding Wire. Enjoy the rings and bands and all of the complements! Be sure to stop by so we can inspect and clean them too!

    Wonderful relaxing experience purchasing and designing our wedding and engagement ring(s). They are the best and our rings are stunning! Could not have asked for a better place or people to help my wife and I purchase our rings.

    My fiance just purchased my engagement ring at Harry Merrill & Son and it is absolutely stunning! Prior to the proposal, we viewed different styles at Harry Merrill and Robert helped us tremendously. The entire staff was more than accommodating and couldn't be nicer! My family has purchased all of their jewelry here for the last 30 years and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

    We initially found Harry Merrill on Wedding Wire when starting to browse on Jewelers' Row - it was the first place we went to do some research. We figured we should shop around a bit more, and when I went to another jeweler down the block and found another style that I liked better, I just knew in my gut we had to go back and see Rob and have him make it for us! We appreciated Rob's professionalism, know-how, and also the fact that he put absolutely no pressure on us to purchase or commit to anything.

    Rob, Nicole, Emily, and Iris all helped us out at various times throughout the process. (My husband also ordered his ring here.) They made me feel very comfortable about my custom design and made sure it was perfect prior to production. The shop is so professionally run and fun to be in - everyone is incredibly friendly and remembers you, right down to beautifully photographing our rings and using our hashtag to send their best wishes on our wedding day. Their customer service is top notch, even offering to clean my rings when I stop in. There are some people who absolutely make an impression on you during wedding planning and you miss them afterwards - for us, that is everyone at Harry Merrill!

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Thank you Lisa! It is our pleasure and we feel so very fortunate to have great customers like you. Best of luck with everything and we look forward to seeing you soon to clean and inspect your rings!

    I know the fact I rated them 5 out of 5 can sometimes make it hard to believe but this jeweler deserves the rating.

    My fiancé ended up buying my engagement ring from Kay's. They don't offer appraisals at Kay's. For insurance reasons I went to Merrill jewelers down town to get an appraisal.

    I emailed ahead of time that I was short on time but wanted to get an appraisal of my ring. They said since I told them ahead that I was coming they could get it done quickly. Took about an hour.

    The thing that blew me away was when he was inspecting my tanzanite ring in front of me he heard that my center stone was loose. He had them tighten the setting at no extra cost to me! He was extremely nice and friendly throughout.

    I do plan on coming back to buy our wedding bands from them. I am so impressed with their selection of rings and how the jewelry store is run!

    I totally recommend them!

    My husband purchased my engagement ring at Harry Merrill & Son. They worked with him to make the ring exactly as he imagined and it is so beautiful. We decided to purchase our wedding bands here as well because the service and selection just didn't compare to other jewelers we met with. All of our rings are unique and beautiful. We constantly get complimented! We see this as a lifelong relationship and will definitely be returning for anniversaries over the years. I highly recommend!

    Harry Merrill & Son's reply:

    Thank you so much, Shea! It's been such a pleasure getting to meet the whole family and we are thrilled that you feel so comfortable with us. Cheers to many more years!

    Loved working with Harry Merril & Son jewelers. They helped my husband and I design the perfect rings to symbolize the commitment we made to each other on our wedding day. Additionally, they were able to get us our perfect rings within our budget. Their personalized service is unparalleled. We highly recommend Harry Merril & Som for all of your jewelry needs.
