Russell did an amazing job on my fiancee's saphire engagement ring and was so helpful and patient every step of the way. The way that Russell took on the challenges of helping us figure out exactly what we wanted, finding the perfect stone, and putting together such an amazing piece shows how great of an artist he is. We're so happy with how it turned out and are so greatful for a timeless ring that we get to see every single day.

My fiancee and I got our wedding bands here after hearing great reviews from two couples. They were right, Russel and Geno are fantastic!

Had a great experience here and wanted to share details. The shop: Clean, well organized, welcoming. They have a nice selection of fine jewelry to meet most tastes and preferences. The staff: Incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. More on that below. The prices: I bought to gold necklace charms for very good prices. He said they were old stock from days of much lower gold prices so he was letting them go for that older price. Repairs: No experience personally but several customers came in while I was there and they seemed to have expert knowledge of all things repair related. My experience: I visited the shop a few weeks ago to price out some earrings. They were the best price at a physical store that I could find. I looked around online as well and ended up finding a deal on something similar that I could not pass up. Well, then buyers remorse set in. Did I get scammed? Are these well below the advertised color, quality, etc? I was suddenly very anxious about what I bought. I decided to take my purchase (made elsewhere) in to the shop not expecting much from them, but he fully understood my concerns and was eager to help. He looked at them under a microscope and confirmed they were what the online retailer said they were and he confirmed the “appraised” value was actually very accurate. The experience and assurance made me feel much better and he never made me feel bad about my decision to buy online. I ended up buying some charms for them for another gift because I was so happy with the experience that I wanted to support their shop. I will be back in the future for repair needs and will always shop here first. Price is important but great customer service is critical and hard to find. If prices are on par with other places, go here! You won’t regret it. Also… one of the associates is a baker and was selling gingerbread cupcakes… they were excellent!!

Excellent service, very good prices (better than any that I found in the nearby 'Jeweler's Row" in Philadelphia. My wife likes it, and she's brought a few people to Schwartz. . I see no reason to go to any different tour at any time.
