I needed to sell some estate jewelry and made an appt here. Process was quick. This isn't how a lot of shop owners make money but I felt that the prices I was quoted were pretty fair, the evaluation was quick and I felt it was an honest shop. Make an appt. though.

Inspired by my late-father's coin collecting hobby, My son got really into the idea of being a collector himself. He asked me for an 1880's Morgan Silver Dollar to start his collection for his upcoming 10th birthday. He finds them on online auctions and shows me the listings often. They are 90% silver 10% copper, and can always be sold for at least the current price of their precious metal content and therefore very difficult to get at a price that makes sense right now.

I walked into a coin shop Saturday and asked the the gentleman if I could buy one and he said, "good luck, every shop and jeweler buys them and rarely sells them to the public." Defeated I walked back towards work and decided to stop at "Max Weiner Fine Jewelers" to try my luck. The gentleman there said something similar but in a kinder tone, so I asked him if he could at least tell me if that's a good coin to start a collection for a 9 year old kid.

He said, "that's my favorite coin and I've been collecting for years. Tell you what, just hang tight for a second." He disappeared into the basement, and returned with an incredible 1888 Philadelphia Morgan Silver Dollar.since it's for a kid to start a collection, I'll sell you this one (for way more than a fair price based on what they go for online).

I thanked him and offered to pay him more an he replied "no, it's my pleasure." You can still find good in the world, even when it's entirely unexpected! 10/10 would recommend!

My fiance made my engagement ring with Alicia and reported a great experience. I was extremely pleased with my engagement ring and we went back to Max Weiner's for our wedding bands. We met with Alicia twice and picked out beautiful, affordable and quality wedding rings. We were nervous about price and timing but Alicia helped us and made the entire process fun and affordable. Thank you for your help!

Wonderful people with a great reach to get the diamond and ring you're looking for + more. I did most of my communication through emails and texts with Alicia because of my schedule and because I currently live far from Philly, and she did everything possible to accommodate me. The engagement ring was completed quickly and is absolutely gorgeous. I was recommended to go here by my best friend and they lived up to my higher expectations. Their costs are very competitive and they also offered to re-size it whenever necessary. Overall, a great experience!

First time writing review, shopped multiple times. The staff are not only knowledgeable but easy to work with; especially for a difficult buyer like me. I've gotten great deals and wow factor worthy pieces for all of my special events. I have and will continue to recommend this place and these people. Max and Alicia were who I've dealt with and their expertise and eye for style were equal only to their kindness, patience, and easy going nature.

I am so happy my fiance decided to go with Max! He went shopping with my mom and did extensive research along jewelers row. When my fiance and my mom met Jessica at Max Weiner's, they knew they had found the right person to help with the engagement ring process. She helped my fiance design the perfect ring for me. It's so sparkly and I LOVE it! Needless to say, when it was time for wedding bands, I couldn't wait to go back to Max's and meet the wonderful people who helped my fiance.

Working with Jessica to design our wedding bands was an amazing experience. She listened to what we wanted and offered suggestions along the way. I would highly recommend Max Weiners and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I brought in my grandfathers coin collection for an appraisal. It was an emotional thing for me but both Max and Jessica were patient, kind, warm and understanding. I'm so happy that I brought these items here. I would return in a heartbeat, and will of the need arises.

Started with my wedding set and groom's band, then custom made ring for Father's Day, then repairs to my grandmother's custom ring from a different jeweler (looks like original work). The list goes on. I always get great service from everyone but Alicia is my go-to girl; always considerate and fair in business and fun and easy to chat.

Max Weiner and the sales staff are amazing! I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and the service from Max Weiner. Max and the sales staff made me feel very comfortable and appreciated even though I was a novice diamond shopper. Their presentation and knowledge of diamonds and diamond jewelry was far superior to some other stores I stopped in. Max went above and beyond to make sure I was buying a quality diamond at the right price for my now fiancee. Max knows his stuff and I highly recommend buying from this reputable jeweler.

Not your typical review. Please bear with me because, like everything, I take a long time to explain my point. Went to this jewelry district to sell a piece of jewelry. Went from store to store. Heard lots of different stories. Typical experience in that everyone verbally expresses any flaw or negative thing they can say to lower my expectation of. getting the price I was asking.

I spent 25 years in the jewelry business and understand negotiation quite well. I have a lot of respect for honesty, particularly in this industry. I spent many years building a clientele that was very affluent and also very influential in their respective fields. I did this by always being honest. If the truth was.
