    They are so professional and knowledgeable. They sit with you and work with you to find it in our case design the perfect ring. My now fiancé said they were so easy to work with during the design process. It's a no pressure atmosphere which makes the process of looking a complete delight. We are definitely going to go back and look at wedding bands in the near furniture. Thank you To the whole Barsky team! You are now in our memories for ever.

    I can't begin to explain how much I love Barsky.... My father came here 30 years ago for my mother's engagement ring and then several other beautiful pieces of jewelry since then. Naturally, I wanted my engagement ring to be from here so I went several times with different groups of girlfriends leading up to my engagement and every person we met with were so personable and took their time with each of us. I have been working with Nathan Barsky on designing my custom wedding bands and have gone back several times to work with him on every nitty gritty detail. He has been so helpful and made this process very easy for my and my fiancé. I am so excited to see the final product in about a month or so and would highly recommend this jeweler over any other in Philadelphia, because they truly make you feel like family as soon as you walk through the door!!

    This is the perfect diamond I was talking about from my review.

    I can not thank Nathan and the whole Barsky family enough for what they have done for my fiancé and I. They turned what was a miserable situation into one of the best experiences of our lives. My fiancé (boyfriend at the time) and I went on a cruise and made a inebriated and not well though out decision of buying an engagement ring in Mexico. After promises, guarantees, and quite a bit of tequila later, we wound up with that we thought was our perfect ring and well under budget!! After sobering up and returning to America we found out that we had one of the worst diamonds anyone on Jeweler's row had ever seen. Not only was it of lower cut, quality, and color of what we thought we had purchased, it was also laser drilled (meaning it was a crappy diamond to begin with and they drilled into it to make it look nicer) After weeks of going back and forth with the Mexican diamond company, they finally agreed to let us return our diamond. Here's where Barsky steps in and saves the day. We had looked at a few places on Jeweler's Row, trying to find a replacement and then we met Nathan Barsky. We explained our whole story to him, and I really can't express my gratitude enough about all he did for us. He showed us some lose diamonds within our budget and even priced matched a diamond from another store that we were looking at. He also said that if we weren't able to just return the diamond and needed to return the whole ring, he could replicate our setting or I could find a new one from their store. The selection of diamonds and settings they had was incredible. I'm shocked I was able to make up my mind! But I found a diamond that I loved and my fiancé loved the price on the diamond even more. He allowed us to leave a refundable deposit on the diamond, just incase things feel though with getting our money back from the other company Well, a few days later we found out we were getting a full refund for the diamond. This is where Nathan really became my superhero. I brought in all the shipping information to him and he shipped the diamond back for us, insured and everything!! He got our new diamond appraised, set it in my setting and is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I could not be happier with the quality, service, and selection that Barksy had. If you live in Philly or are even from out of town. Take my advice and don't drink and purchase diamonds. Go to Barsky instead.

    My sisters and I went to Barsky Diamonds for the first time in September of last year after hearing we could get some good deals on jewelry in Philadelphia. After going to a couple of stores, we decided on checking out Barsky Diamonds. Well I can honestly say we had a great time. All of the staff were professional, courteous and patient. We stayed in the store about 2 hours asking to try on lots of different pieces of jewelry. My two sisters purchased diamond necklaces that were absolutely beautiful and of a great price. Much better than other places we have gone to. Jeff Barsky, the owner is a delight to work with. He is so nice! He even recommended a wonderful Italian restaurant for us to have dinner and made the reservations. Since then, one of my sisters bought another piece of jewelry from them and was equally pleased with the customer service, price and professionalism. I forgot to mention, we drive up from Washington, DC! Recently I had an unpleasant situation, I lost my engagement ring. When working with the insurance company, I selected Barsky Diamonds instead of the store my fiancé purchase it from. I worked with Jeff and also Natalie to design what I wanted. Natalie sent renderings of my ring within a few days and I loved iNatalie is absolutely fantastic. She really knows her stuff!! I should have it in a couple of weeks.....stay tuned to part 2 of my review. Well folks I finally went back to Barsky Diamonds to pick up my engagement ring they made for me to replace the lost one. Well I just have to say it almost bought me to tears when i saw my ring. It is absolutely gorgeous!! Stunning!! Fabulous!! Spectacular!! They did not disappoint me. I'm so pleased. I love Jeffrey and Natalie!!! I plan to go back to purchase our wedding bands. Barsky Diamonds for life!!!

Maybe you can learn something about how to deal more courteously with your customers. I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

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.

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!!
