My fiance bought my engagement ring here. The ring itself is beautiful and I love it. Unfortunately, my fiance got the wrong size. We took it back to the shop and Ron George resized it for us. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and the resizing was very affordable.

My engagement ring experience with Mr. George was absolutely care free and easy, not to mention enjoyable. After a quick phone call with Mr. George the previous week, upon arriving, he had options already laid out for me. Picking one was easy and the ring was ready within a week. Working with Mr. George was a pleasure; he is incredibly personable, as is his staff.

Also recently discovered our best friends' (who are married) parents had their rings made by Mr. George back in the day. Ron George is truly an Annapolis institution and would be my recommendation for the go-to jeweler in the area.

I have mixed feelings about my experience at Ron George. We visited when he was on vacation so one of his employees helped us. She was very sweet and tried her best to help but did not seem too knowledgeable or experienced. I definitely don't think that she was a graduate gemologist. The information she offered wasn't anything we didn't know already.

We only really got to look at some settings because she couldn't close the prongs and their selection was limited. We understand that it's a local business and customizations can be made but it wasn't a worthwhile trip for us. Price quoted was also a lot higher than other jewelers despite same clarity, color, carat, etc.

Poor customer service, I do not recommend. I waited three months for one piece of jewelry and I asked numerous times for white gold to be used. He called me three times asking if I wanted silver. When I went to pick up the item, he tried to sell me the item with silver vice white gold. I went to another jeweler who values my time, and respects me, my intelligence, and my ability to pay. For the record, I offered to pay for his time, his assistant said not to worry about it. Find someone else that will value your time.

They rejected my gemstone appraisal request, making an excuse they are busy now. They should have declined my request before they checked my gemstone. It might be not worth appraising? The most unpleasant experience at a jewelry shop!

Took my older watch in for adjustment as it was running a little fast. I was told the watch needed an overhaul for $240.00. 5 months after the overhaul the watch broke. Unable to set the time, the stem would only spin when pulled out. Returned with broken watch and was told another $140.00 To repair. After a delay of 4 months the watch was returned with a stem too tight to easily pull out.

I was told " you really need to get your fingernail underneath it to pull it out". It was never like that before and not easy if your nails are short. And To make matters worse, the watch now runs slow. Its worse than before the original "overhaul".Not good! I don't think I'll be returning.

Ron and his team are the real deal. Genuine professionalism, incredible customer service, and personal interest in your purchase are par for the course from these talented individuals. I was so pleased with the engagement ring I purchased from Ron's son that my (now) wife and I went back for our wedding bands as well. Throughout the process, Ron was attentive to our needs and timeline, and helpful in making adjustments to the rings as we needed them, often putting us before his own interests. We are very grateful to Ron and his family business for helping to make our engagement and wedding so special!

They really look out for the customers and treat them With respect. Both Rob and John made buying an engagement ring as painless as possible. I came to them after talking to other jewelers that tried to squeeze money out of me and I was pleasantly surprised that John recommended a more affordable option despite that option meaning their store wouldn't get as much money out of me!

I can honestly say that Ron George really does look out for their customers rather than themselves and will ensure that YOU are taken care of. Their prices are VERY reasonable and they take pride in their work. I'll certainly be going back to them for the wedding band!

John and his team are the consummate professionals. They are so friendly, honest, kind, and they know jewelry. Of all the jewelry options in downtown Annapolis, no one holds a candle to this shop. My sister and I both got our rings cleaned there the day before our weddings and we just love this place! Highly recommend.

After more than 40 years, my USNA class ring needed a makeover. I contacted Ron George Jeweler's. I wasn't sure what it would cost. John George provided me with an estimated amount. I Recieved my ring yesterday and couldn't be happier. The cost was well under the estimated price. Ron George Jeweler's is a professional and reputable company. I would recommend anyone that is looking to upgrade their ring contact Ron George Jeweler's.

My fiance and I wanted custom designed wedding rings and shopped several places for the right person to craft our rings. We had disappointment after disappointment going back and forth with jewelers and failed to get drawings that matched our ideas, even though we had brought photos as examples. In desperation, we called Ron George and were asked to come in.

The long and short is that we spoke with John & Ron over many days and were assured that we wanted them to create our rings. They suggested some engravings that we could match to both rings. We had only 6 weeks to get drawings done, cast and set the stones. Fortunately, John had ordered the center stones earlier and I loved one of them instantly. My fiance picked the rings up and didn't allow me to see my completed ring until the "I do".

I was without words when I saw it. Our rings are truly stunning! I'd have loved to post a picture. Between our ideas and the ones John & Ron suggested, we are over the moon happy with our beautiful rings and that they were ready ahead of time. The Georges' are easy people to work with and both John and his dad, Ron are master jewelers. It shows. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wife and I were looking for a place to get her 10 year anniversary ring and wanted something custom made and not from one of those big name jewelers. Ron went above and beyond our expectations and are incredibly happy with her new ring.

We have had a number of custom pieces made here. Rob and John are friendly and helpful. They understand my style and create pieces that are better than I hoped for.stop in and take a look at their inventory.

I reviewed several jewelers before selecting Ron George Jewelers to repair my damaged ring. I found their guidance helpful and am very pleased with the quality of the reconstruction. I did business with them over the phone and through email, and the process went smoothly. Highly recommend.

Ron George and his team designed an engagement ring for me. It turned out beautifully. I really appreciated the friendliness and straightforward/fair pricing. These guys are trustworthy - the best jewelers in Annapolis. I'll be back for a wedding band for sure.

What an amazing experience. Up front, I'll say you shouldn't go anywhere else in Annapolis for jewelry needs. If you want patience, a personal touch, and an incredible piece of jewelry that your special someone will know is totally unique to them, you should be at Ron George Jewelers. Read on to find out why. I came in with a long wish list (thanks to a then-girlfriend who knew what she was looking for) and Ron was able to construct her dream ring based solely on a verbal description from me -- a task that is even more impressive when you consider my lack of knowledge on the subject.

Even when I realized that I had mistakenly asked Ron for a feature that I didn't actually want, he quickly (within about a week, due to the impending proposal!) and graciously altered the ring until it fit exactly what I had been trying to describe. Ron and his son patiently took the time to educate me on diamonds, helping me understand that I didn't have to spend a mountain of cash to get exactly what I wanted.

As Ron realized what I was trying to describe to him, he helped me downsize from a.73 carat diamond to a.64 carat diamond -- a net loss of about $800 for Ron -- just because it helped me create the perfect ring for my fiancee (she said YES!). To top it all off, Ron and his son worked with me to incorporate my grandmother's engagement ring into my fiancee's ring.

The result was perfect -- metal from my grandma's ring seamlessly incorporated along the inside of my fiancee's ring, unnoticeable unless you're looking for it. The remainder of grandma's ring was respected, cared for, and returned to me by Ron and his son. Ron was always responsive, up front about cost, willing to take feedback and make alterations, and as enthusiastic about my ideas as I was.

I quickly began referring to him as "my jeweler" when I was updating close friends and family on the process. That's how you'll feel if you are lucky enough to do business with Ron and his staff. Thank you Ron! You guys are the best. Looking forward to doing business again, but also looking forward to dropping in from time to time just to say hi.

Dropped off my antique engagement ring for repair, as the diamond had fallen out. They did a truly spectacular job with the resetting into a Victorian era, custom made band. Cleaned and polished to absolute perfection! Ring looks better now than when purchased from highly reputable estate jeweler several years ago. Ready well ahead of quoted timeframe, and for an exceedingly reasonable (well below expected) price. All of my repairs - and recommendations - will go to Ron George! Thrilled with service, staff, and work.

I worked with Ron George and his son, John, earlier this year to design a sapphire engagement ring for my girlfriend/fiance. They were very friendly and were easy to work with. They helped with everything from finding the right colored sapphire, to identifying a setting that paired well with the stone, to ensuring the ring was within my budget. I was happy I went with a family-owned jewelry store rather than one of the larger retail jewelry chains. I'd definitely recommend Ron George!

My husband got my engagement ring from Ron George and Ron's son, John, helped transform my husbands design ideas into the most perfect ring! From the beginning, they paid extreme attention to detail and were never lacking in answering any questions or fixing any concerns we might have had. After the proposal, we knew there was NO one else to go to for my wedding band other than Ron George!

They created a perfect matching band and later we got is soldered to the engagement ring. When my husband went to pick up my wedding band before the wedding he ended up looking into Ron George's case of fine jewels and found his wedding band and it was a perfect fit. We are so happy with our rings that we will wear for a lifetime and can tell stories about forever.

Both my husband and I get compliments on our rings all the time. While my husband did his homework, I know Ron George's expertise and talent was what made my ring a reality! Thank you Ron George and John for your dedication to design and quality!

Love Ron George! He did our custom wedding bands, and put his artful touch on them, and we adore them. Its been a few years, and one of the diamonds fell out of the band, they were able to replace it no problem. My husband has returned for business for other items, always top notch and so unique.

I adore this place. Ron and his team were incredibly patient and accommodating as we picked out an engagement ring. I knew I wanted something antique and not a diamond. After brainstorming with knowledgeable staff, we ended up with a stunning sapphire in an edwardian setting, custom placed by Ron. The end result is more than I imagined. The compliments don't stop!

Not only am I a fan of his quality and skill, but I left feeling informed and not at all intimidated by the process (which to tell the truth, I anticipated to be stressful). I loved it from start to finish. Top notch quality, service, and style.

I cannot recommend these guys enough. They worked with my fiance to create a stunning engagement ring, and then again with both of us for the wedding bands. They are so beautiful! If you have a specific design in mind, they will place an order and put in the stones themselves - cutting down on cost and ensuring quality. They are friendly, prompt, and their store has a very nice selection. Absolutely come here if you're looking for wedding rings!

My fiance proposed last year with a family ring. The ring is beautiful but has a unique shape, so I knew I would need a custom band. After doing some research and investigating jewelers in DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis, I decided to go with Ron George and I am so glad I did. My shadow band came out beautifully, matching the metal almost exactly to my band.

The shape is perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. The whole process was straight forward and I was updated throughout the process on the status of my ring. It was also so much more affordable than I expected for a custom design.

Great shop with a very personal feel! When my wife and I went looking for wedding bands in Annapolis we went to every shop looking and asked for appraisals based on the ring my wife wanted and Ron George was the only place that got back to us. We worked with John and he was great! He worked with my budget to make sure my wife got the exact ring she wanted and the results were great! He even matched the engraving on my wedding band to the one on my grandfather's ring! I could be happier with the rings or the service!

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is friendly and trustworthy. I worked with John George to design a pendant necklace and the whole process was smooth and perfect. And the final product was better than I had imagined. In addition, the price was better than expected too. Other jewelry stores had given me a higher quote, but the price here was much much lower. Overall, this jewelry store is awesome. They definitely have my business forever!

This is a neat little jeweler. Ron designs the pieces himself, and they are really lovely. We picked out wedding rings today, and he was so nice to work with. Having purchased our engagement ring here last year, he really took the time to find a wedding band that would fit well with the engagement ring (which isn't a traditional engagement ring - it's an emerald-cut aquamarine with diamonds on the sides).

If you want a personal experience with a jeweler who can custom make a piece according to your specifications, give Ron George a look. We are so glad we found this shop, and look forward to seeing the finished rings.
