World Class Customer Service. From my 1st email inquiry, Doug answered all my questions and presented me with exactly what I was looking for, a WOW ring and other options. EB Horn certainly lives up to its reputation with its quality, selection, craftsmanship and personal service. It was World Class customer service throughout the entire process. Without a doubt we will only be doing business with Doug/EB Horn going forward.

I love this jeweler and the only one I shop at. They are incredibly nice and I get a family feel every time I visit. I've bought my wife's engagement rings, wedding rings, other diamond rings and studs there. Every time they are so welcoming and not pushy at all. They gave me plenty of time to think on it and we're very reasonable. Always ask to clean my wife's rings when we go in. I just love EB and the only place I fully trust.

I inherited some family jewelry and brought it into EB Horn for appraisal. Michael Finn and his team were very knowledgeable and courteous educating me about the pieces and their value. I had a ring resized and I was so pleased at the turn around time and how it came out. The pieces they offer in the store are beautiful and the estate pieces are very unique. A great experience from start to finish!

I worked with EB Horn prior to our trip to Boston and email communication was prompt. The store was nice and clean and an appointment was required which was nice because it made it more of a personal visit. The store had a lot of cool pieces full of history- very unique! Purchased a beautiful piece and couldn't be happier!

In 1986, my wife and I bought our wedding rings at E. B. Horn. Susan's ring was a combination of sapphire and diamond; mine was/is a textured gold band. They served us well. Our marriage survives. Fast forward to early 2020 (I think.) We had had a serious house fire in 2016, losing everything we possessed. We returned to EBH and had great assistance in replacing my wife's ring. The men who helped us were warm, understanding, and compassionate. We have nothing but great thoughts and memories of our experiences there.
