    Customized Engagement Ring

    Sojeoung was recommended to us by a friend when we decided to get engaged. We had met with a few other jewelers early in our search, but nothing felt "right." I think we can attribute this to the other jewelers trying to be very sale-pitchy and pressuring us into something we didn't want.
    For starters, the office of Lauren Priori's Philadelphia Location is beautiful! It is located in a nice space off of Chestnut Street and you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in! We were greeted with waters and coffee (which went perfectly with our earlier brunch mimosa), and Sojeoung took the time to listen before showing us a variety of settings and center stones to further narrow our ideas. She asked us questions about details of a look or feel and cost preferences so we were all on the same page. It was clear she wanted us to love our ring. She sourced a variety of the stones we were interested in and ultimately helped us decide upon OUR gem. We had never bought a piece of fine jewelry like this before or customized jewelry before, so we were complete newbies to the process. Sojeoung walked us through each step and was extremely responsive to all questions and ideas. Needless to say, we are going back soon for help with our wedding bands!

    Custom engagement ring of my dreams!!

    I can’t rave enough about Hannah at L Priori. I LOVE my ring that my fiancé and I designed together, and kept it within our budget! She helped him make all of my engagement ring dreams come true and I can’t wait to go back to pick out our wedding bands!

    Delighted with Heirloom Redesign

    My fiancé Ethan and I redesigned an heirloom ring with the L. Priori team and we are delighted with their work. My mother had turned her grandmother's ring from the 1880s into a necklace. We were easily able to schedule an appointment with Jenna in the DC location to see if we could turn the necklace setting back into a ring. She talked us through the process and proposed options to us for a custom redesign, adding a band to the setting, or a new setting with the old stone. Once we decided to go with the custom redesign, Jenna rapidly worked with their team in Philly to send us an initial rendering. The team was flexible with various modifications we suggested, and shared updated renderings of the ring with each change. Overall, from the first appointment to receiving the ring, the process took about 3 months. We're delighted with the finished product and would recommend working with Jenna and the L. Priori team on an heirloom redesign.

    Wonderful experience!

    My fiancée and I could not more highly recommend L Priori Jewelry. We went to L Priori to have both of our engagement rings designed, and we were helped by Hannah. My fiancée had a family diamond that she wanted to reset, and we loved the process of customizing her ring. Hannah had incredible attention to detail in her design, and she explained step-by-step how they would approach constructing the ring itself. She also guided us through the process of designing my band, taking us through a multitude of different unique customizations. We wanted rings that were simple with small bits of unique flair, and the designs Hannah came up with were absolutely perfect, as was the quality of the final products. The whole experience was fun, and as a queer couple, we always felt welcomed and comfortable.

    Wedding band custom design

    Once engaged, I knew exactly where to go to start designing my wedding band! We worked with Hannah throughout the entire design process - she was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and patient as she explained all the options. We went through a few design rounds to get the fit correct and and Hannah provided guidance at each round. The whole process was incredibly easy and the result was a exactly what I had hoped for! I'm so happy that they LP took the time to make sure the ring was made perfectly. 10/10 recommend.

    Beautiful and unique

    We loved working with Lauren and her team to design the jewelry for our wedding! They made my engagement ring, both of our wedding rings and a special surprise gift from my husband on our wedding day of earrings that he custom designed. Lauren and her team are experts at helping you design your perfect piece that will be unique and special to you! We highly recommend working with them in Philadelphia or Washington, DC!

    Professional and unique designs

    Lauren and her team were the easiest and most professional team. They were easy to work with and never rushed us into any decisions. They truly made my vision for my engagement ring come to life - I had never seen exactly what I wanted in any pictures so Lauren mocked up a design in the office, while I was in the room with her. When I went back to look at bands, they offered amazing options and helped me narrow it down! I am thrilled to call Lauren for all of my jewelry needs and questions. She never makes me feel bad or uninformed - she is truly there to guide you through the process in the most honest and upfront way.

    Stunning Work!

    Genna from L.Priori helped me resign my family heirloom ring, creating the most stunning custom creation that I am lucky to wear on my hand every day! The process was easy, working together to help take my ideas and pair them with her expertise. Together, the ring came out absolutely fabulous!

    L. Priori Jewelry's reply:

    Hi Billie! I'm so happy to hear that you love your ring. Genna loved working with you. Enjoy wearing it!

    My fiance and I worked with L. Priori Jewelry to pick out an antique engagement ring. We were nervous about buying a ring, but after meeting Lauren and discussing everything with her, we knew we were in good hands! It is clear from the first meeting that Lauren is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of her industry. As first time fine jewelry buyers, Lauren was kind and very patient with us. She provided educational information and answered all of our questions, no matter how small! She has such a great eye for design, and we were so happy to hear her suggestions. It was a thrill to work with Lauren and we ended up selecting a ring that went above and beyond our expectations. Lauren was even able to have the ring resized and ready for pickup in just a few days! In the end, Lauren guided us through a stress-free process and we feel confident that we picked a gorgeous, unique, antique ring that fit within our budget. I couldn't recommend her enough. We can't wait to go back to pick out our wedding bands!

    Wedding bands

    We found Lauren via Instagram (like most of our vendors) and we’re so happy that we did! Lauren is a small business owner and local to Philly. She is incredibly kind and really takes her time with you. She is very responsive to emails, answered all of our questions, and even made time for me to come in last minute when I was between two rings! She has ready to order bands, as well as the ability to make custom bands/engagement rings. She also does antique rings that are just stunning. I am completely in love with my wedding band- it’s simple, dainty, classic, but still unique yet timeless. We loved working with Lauren so much that my husband purchased a stacker band for me as well and that is just as beautiful! We are so happy that we met Lauren and that she made our wedding bands. Do yourself a favor and go see her :)

    A friend of mine mentioned that she had her heirloom pearl necklace re-designed by Lauren into something more her style right around the time my fiancé and I were talking about getting engaged. I "hinted" to him that I would love to have a local designer make my ring and that I heard great things about L. Priori. He was happy because the experience felt relaxed but still special and personal but not overwhelming. Im happy because I got the ring of my dreams!! She managed to design a ring that was both classic and unique which is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Lauren!!!

    We are so happy that we bought our wedding bands from Lauren. My husband's gold band with its engraving looks amazing. I chose a beautiful antique platinum ring from the 1950s with several inlaid diamonds along with a second simple platinum band for when I don't want to wear the antique one. Lauren is so great to work with. Her inventory is beautiful and she was so accommodating with appointments, fittings, and even cleaning the rings for the big day. We cannot recommend her and her work highly enough.

    Working with Lauren on my wedding ring was a great experience from the first meeting, through the process of having my ring made, to the final product. I was looking for a ring that complemented my traditional engagement ring, but had a little more personality, and Lauren helped me find something perfect (and within my budget). I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a special piece of jewelry.

    I commissioned a gold necklace with three pearls to wear on my wedding day, along with 3 matching bracelets for my mom, sister and I. They were made out of a pearl necklace I got for my 13th birthday and Lauren was very careful and respectful while working with my special pieces! She also suggested having the original pearls restrung for a more updated look, which I love.

    Lauren was very attentive throughout the entire process, she listened to exactly what I wanted and asked several questions to make sure the finished product was perfect. She gave me periodic status updates, was very helpful in offering suggestions / expertise and answered my questions with patience and understanding.

    The finished product is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I wanted! Each piece was packaged in a beautiful wood box and felt so special. I can't wait to give these gifts to my mom and sister AND to wear these special pieces on our wedding day and pass them down from generation to generation.

    I look forward to working with Lauren again!

    We went to Lauren for an engagement ring re-set. I has just inherited a ring from my grandparents, and was hoping to use my original center stone from my engagement ring and the diamonds from my grandparent's ring in a new setting. After an initial meeting where we discussed what we were looking for, as well as looked over the tons of photos that i brought with me, we received a sketch of a design that we absolutely fell in love with. Lauren acted as our point person and advocate, working with the local casters to ensure that the ring was exactly as she had designed it. It feels like this is the ring that I should have had all along, and I couldn't be happier with the final product. We will definitely be using Lauren for all of our jewelry needs.

    Overpriced and lacked attention to detail

    My fiancé and I were very disappointed by our experience with L.Priori jewelers. We found that Lauren lacked an attention to detail that resulted in my ring not turning out the way I wanted it to. We also found her to be overpriced. My fiancé paid $1200 for a custom white gold hexagon setting that did not turn out the way I wanted it to. It was supposed to be matte and ended up being shiny. While Lauren was able to correct this mistake, it was disappointing not having a ring that I loved when I was proposed to. Since we were still disappointed in how the ring turned out even after it was brushed to be matte, we began to explore the option of working with another jeweler. We were quoted $425 and $625 to make a custom white gold setting- 1/2 to 1/3 the price of L. Priori jewelers. I recommend taking your business elsewhere.

    L. Priori Jewelry's reply:

    Hi Shaylyn,
    I'm so sorry to read this review. I'm so sorry that you don't absolutely love your ring and that you didn't feel we provided a great value.
    I take pride in making sure every detail is right before we go into creating the finished piece, which is why I always include a wax review of the design before casting, which you did approve. We did make a mistake with the finish of your ring, which we fixed quickly.
    In response to pricing - it's consistent with a custom process using the best casting houses and the best stone setters possible. Porosity, poor setting work, and inferior metal quality are just not issues I'm prepared to pass along for cost saving on something you're going to wear forever.
    Wishing you and your fiancé all the best,
    Lauren
