I knew very little about jewelry going in but knew the specific vision/look my fiance wanted in a ring. Over the course of several months (this slow pace was because of my own research and meeting with other jewelers) Matt met with me multiple times and sourced and showed different diamonds until we found what I was looking for. The ring style Matt helped me to settle on needed to be designed and hand crafted by John, and working with John was an equally positive experience. At no point in time throughout this process did I feel pressured or hurried or like any member of their team had an interest in mind besides getting this engagement ring right. I have already returned as a customer to have my wedding bands done and I do not see myself going to another jeweler while I am in this area. Highly recommend.

Michelle V., my primary contact, was (extremely!) patient with all my questions and helped make me comfortable with the setting I chose.

I love the quality of my engagement diamond, and my now-fiancé loves her new ring. The only issue was I got the size wrong, but the nearby store has already begun the process of resizing so it will fit her perfectly.

I can get a $40 extension anywhere. Then he gets nasty and belligerent with me. Not a good move John. Sorry John. Your loss, not mine.

I got my engagement ring from Bario Neal with help from Taylor…read more What I like about Bario Neal is that it is a local business with unique jewelry designs, that they use ethical materials and reclaimed metals. I thought their website blog was also helpful when I was considering settings and stones. My fiancé and I met with Taylor who helped us pick out something that was beautiful to both of us that was within budget. I felt like she had helpful suggestions and was informative. She was warm and understanding not judgy or dismissive. I had gone to other jewelers to just shop around for rings--but it was somewhat uncomfortable as they suggested I come back with my fiancé or give my fiancé their card and they seemed to shrug me off. I mean, I am the one wearing the ring..am I right ladies?? I got none of that weird creepy sexist feeling at Bario Neal. So ladies if you want to get jewelry for yourself -- I would feel comfortable getting it at Bario Neal! If you are planning a surprise engagement though --- definitely have a clear communication plan of who is getting the emails and contacts. My fiancé and I were not as clear about this/were ambivalent about it, so I got the emails which for the ring--which was not a big deal but I know for some people that's a big deal ‍ This is also going to sound kind of stupid and snobby--but I really liked that Bario Neal jewelry has a presence in fashion magazines and blogs but to each their own, right? Lol. Anyhow--yeah if you want a piece of jewelry that is local, unique, ethical, heirloom worthy, meaningful and you don't want to feel awkward or weird while shopping--I would go to Bario Neal--but for Covid make sure you make an appointment.

My partner ((L)GBTQ) and I walked into an empty Bario Neal to see engagement rings at 11:45am. We were told that an appointment was coming in at noon but with three sales people loitering around the spacious and empty store we didn't think much of it, especially because we came prepared. We came with a list of the four rings we wanted to see to be efficient. I was surprised that despite claiming "we strive for inclusivity at every step, from a non-gendered design ethos and comprehensive sizing," the store only had small ring sizes to try on, with almost none of the engagement rings fitting on my ring finger. I'm a trim 5'6 cis woman hoping to try on more feminine rings: if you struggle to be inclusive of me I doubt anyone who is more gender expansive than myself, or even someone with a more full figure or is plus-sized would have a much better time. The scheduled couple walk in at 12:15, a man in a literal yacht club quarter zip and a petite woman with a balayage. The woman working with us lit up and rushed over to say "hi!! My name is Meghan, welcome!" We were ushered out of there so fast our heads spun. We realized that Meghan didn't even bother to introduce herself to us. If your business does not want walk-ins just say it. Don't be wishy washy. And don't claim to be radically inclusive if you don't have at least a second size of sample rings. I'm not going to bother wondering if they were less bullish for my business than a man's in a yacht club quarter zip, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

It has been quite a while since I have written a review, but I could not pass up the opportunity to…read moreshare what a wonderful experience I had at Harry Merrill & Son... After nine years, I *finally* decided to propose to my girlfriend, and as any guy would, I wanted both the ring and the experience to be as special as possible. I started out at two local jewelers recommended to me, but each left me feeling like I just went to the big box jeweler that begins with the letter 'K' in the malls across America. Each tried to sell me a premade ring and said they could "modify" it to "make it custom" if I wanted. No thank you! I then went to Harry Merrill on the recommendation of a family member and met Rob and Nicole. What I experienced there was something entirely different. Starting with the stone(s) and building the setting, Rob advised on what would make the best ring, took the time to answer my 101 questions, and listened to everything that I wanted. I must add that I am pretty OCD about purchases that are much smaller than this, so you can imagine what I put Rob through! He was patient and kind the entire way and gently guided me in a direction that I did not think I wanted to go in at first, but looking back I am incredibly glad I took his advice. Once everything was set into motion, Nicole stayed in contact every step of the way and was so accommodating when I had questions or had to pop in to make a change, which there were numerous instances of. What I proposed with is a one-of-a-kind piece that is timeless, elegant, and stunning. My fiancée absolutely loves the ring, as do I. Whether it is an engagement ring or an everyday piece, do not overlook Harry Merrill & Son; if you do, you will be missing out on both bespoke quality and a 10/10 experience... We cannot wait to go back in and design our wedding bands!!
