My husband, Chris, and I got married at the Echo Lake Inn, in Ludlow, Vermont, Memorial Day weekend-May 24, 2014 after being together for 7 years and long distance for the last 3 of those years. I wanted something that wasn’t part of a set so I had the option to wear the band by itself. And I knew I wanted 18k white gold (so as to match my engagement ring which was of the same metal), with etchings on the sides, but no stones (so that it would be easier to clean and for general use and also so that if I wanted to engrave the inside of it, like all my maternal ancestors’ wedding bands that I...My husband, Chris, and I got married at the Echo Lake Inn, in Ludlow, Vermont, Memorial Day weekend-May 24, 2014 after being together for 7 years and long distance for the last 3 of those years. I wanted something that wasn’t part of a set so I had the option to wear the band by itself. And I knew I wanted 18k white gold (so as to match my engagement ring which was of the same metal), with etchings on the sides, but no stones (so that it would be easier to clean and for general use and also so that if I wanted to engrave the inside of it, like all my maternal ancestors’ wedding bands that I have from my side of the family, I could). I went in person to Roman Jewelers (a local chain out by my parents in central Jersey) multiple times and looked through their book, describing what I was looking for, but they didn’t really have it. And then Chris and I went to a Jared out by his family in Long Island in New York and they too, recommended we look within their expanded book for offerings and kept suggesting men’s bands to me. I am very happy with my band and how it looks with or without the engagement ring from Brilliant Earth paired with it, even during different temperature or weather changes throughout the year. I’ve gotten a lot of complements about the stippled swirl designs on the edges from even casual acquaintances and other persons. And Marlene got the ring out to us really fast and in the correct sizing and everything-considering Chris placed the order only 3 weeks prior to our wedding (I was really panicking, since I hadn’t found anything I was satisfied with until super close to the wedding) it all came together great. -

I absolutely adore The Marlene Harris Collection! You won't see these rings in any other store because they are vintage and antique. Marlene is excellent to work with and the collection is exquisite, fairly priced and truly one of a kind. We won't shop anywhere else!I absolutely adore The Marlene Harris Collection!

Her selection is based off of estate jewelry, so even the commercial pieces she has are very unique. I love my ring from here, and my friend also bought her ring from here and loves it. Neither of us wanted "typical" engagement rings.Her selection is based off of estate jewelry, so even the commercial pieces she has are very unique.

WHAT A COLLECTION!!! I have been on the hunt for a curved wedding band with an antique look to it but without diamonds. It is impossible to find! THEN I found Marlene Harris Collection and was blown away by the amount of rings she had available that fit what I was looking for!
I called and Marlene was so helpful and really knows her stuff. I emailed her a picture of my antique engagement ring and she was able to guide me to the perfect ring.
My wedding ring arrived today, less than 48 hours after ordering and IT IS PERFECT! It is EXACTLY what i wanted and the curve fits the ring just like it...WHAT A COLLECTION!!!

Oh, and she really is a doll. I had such a nice experience and I look forward to ordering more jewelry from her and recommending her to all who will listen! -

My boyfriend and I had been together for three years when he decided to ask me to marry him. We both had been through a run of horrible health problems over the past few years, between the two of us we had, had a total of seven surgeries. We stuck by each other and help one another out when one was down. That is just what you are supposed to do when you love someone.

We both had been through a run of horrible health problems over the past few years, between the two of us we had, had a total of seven surgeries. We stuck by each other and help one another out when one was down. That is just what you are supposed to do when you love someone.
He proposed without a ring, he wanted me to chose something that I would love forever. We had been to many different main stream jewelry stores and I started noticing that every ring we saw was the same as the next and the financing was outrageous. I starting looking online and typed "antique vintage engagement rings" and narrowed my search to something local and I found Marlene.
This was the beginning of the next six months.... We walked into her beautiful little shop which almost has as much personality as this wonderful woman who was waiting patiently behind her counter. We introduced our self's as she did as well and we began going through rings I had chosen through her website. She asked so many questions, this was something I was not used to in going to a jewelry store... she truly wanted us to have something that was perfect for us. After an hour of narrowing it down to four or five engagement rings she asked me to put them on and step outside to see how they looked in true sun lighting. I was confused to say the least, I've have never had anyone at any establishment want me to be so pleased with their product and to be so trusting.We were sold, we fell in love with a ring and this woman :)
After choosing the perfect ring for us Sean asked about financing, and she explained that she does a Lay-a-way program instead, which for us was wonderful. One less credit expense in this day and age is absolutely wonderful. So we started our payment and had three months to pay the rest down before we had our ring, which is completely reasonable.
A month or so later I ended up in the hospital AGAIN... Sean did everything he could to help me since I live on my own and am a full time student. He payed my bills, bought my medicine (I have no prescription insurance) and bought and prepared my food, which in turn meant no money for my ring. I was devastated thinking I was going to lose my perfect ring. Sean contacted Marlene and she let him know that everything was fine and he could just give her whatever he could even if it was $20. After working with many businesses while I was ill, I was not expecting anyone to be as understanding and caring as she was. She actually called Sean a while later, not to see where the next payment was but to see how I was recovering... I don't remember my electric or car company doing that ;) After being ill on and off for months and Sean having health related problems of his own, we had far surpassed our three month time limit, we had finally gotten our act together. August 1st 2012, we picked up our ring, payed off and on my finger.
Marlene told Sean to "do it right" :) on his knees and all, while her and her husband were in witness. One of my top memorable days.
I will never forget Marlene and all that she has done for us, she is one of the most kindest, sweetest souls I have been lucky enough to meet. I feel blessed to have her been part of my life and I hope others get a chance to experience the same, she truly one of a kind and I sincerely wish nothing but wonderful things for her, she deserves it :)
Lots of Love Marlene! and thank you for everything you have done for us, you have no idea how much it has meant to us to finally have someone treat us the way that you did.

Amazing rings, and Marlene is absolutely preserving the art of the past! These rings aren't just beautiful, many are made with original moulds from the early part of the 20th century. Wow.
I chose a filligree setting and am absolutely thrilled with it. I constantly receive compliments on it, and it's so perfectly made too!
I highly recommend Marlene for jewelry of any kind. Not only is she knowledgeable, but he prices are more than fair. Fantastic!Amazing rings, and Marlene is absolutely preserving the art of the past!

Marlene has a vast collection of unique antique and reproduction jewelry. She's been in the business for 30 or 40 years and is great to work with. I designed my engagement with her, so it took a little longer to receive, but my wedding ring was from their stock, and it arrived in a couple days. Couldn't be happier with them!Marlene has a vast collection of unique antique and reproduction jewelry. She's been in the business for 30 or 40 years and is great to work with.

I looked everywhere for a unique vintage wedding band before finding Marlene Harris! She had so many one of a kind pieces to choose from and I was ecstatic to find an antique hand crafted band with gorgeous dogwood flowers around the center. The ring is so ME! I just love it! The price was extremely reasonable given the ring is a unique piece of art that I will have forever! Check out the Marlene Harris Collection...you won't be disappointed!I looked everywhere for a unique vintage wedding band before finding Marlene Harris!

Marlene Harris has some of the most beautiful, unique jewelry that I've ever seen. Her prices, in my opinion, are reasonably but the jewelry is one of a kind. I get compliments on my sapphire stackable wedding bands all the time!

My husband bought my engagement band From Marlene & I absolutely love it!!! I had talked to her pre-engagment about a few of her bands & she was very friendly but it was a little hard to schedule having her photographer take a picture of the setting I wanted so that I could see it on a hand (I lived in CA at the time). Regardless, absolutely stunning setting!My husband bought my engagement band From Marlene & I absolutely love it!!!

I really like the wedding band we purchased from Marlene Harris Collection. It's a newer piece, but still in the same vintage/ estate feel style I was looking for. Overall, I found her prices to be very reasonable, but my minor quibble was this: we came in and were upfront about what our budget was, but of the 8 or so rings she pulled to show me, 6 of them were 25-75% over our budget. A little bit over would have been fine, but I found it a little frustrating and felt like she wasn't listening to what I clearly had stated I was looking for. I don't like to feel like I have to haggle on price and...I really like the wedding band we purchased from Marlene Harris Collection.

I don't like to feel like I have to haggle on price and I wasn't about to exceed our budget by that much. Overall, it's a beautiful, unique piece, but I wish my buying experience had been a little better. -
