Merrill, Harry & Son

We are a family owned and operated fine jewelry store located on Philadelphia's historic Jeweler's Row since 1954. We strive to provide an unparalleled level of hands-on and relaxed assistance in helping our customers select, design, or redesign the perfect piece of jewelry. We specialize in custom designed pieces, estate jewelry, and fine jewelry of all kinds.

Harry Merrill & Son and the LeGar building, in which we are located, both have a very interesting and storied past. The LeGar Building, located at 124 S. 8th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dates back to the 1800's and once housed a "Speak Easy" in the basement, during prohibition. Harry Merrill started out as Harry Schemerelson, a very well known sports writer for the Philadelphia Record Newspaper.

Our designers sit and discuss the process and help you to articulate your vision and concept, developing your ideas into a tangible sketch. Our gemologists can use any of your gem stones that you may want to include in a custom design, as well as handpick and match additional stones. Our computer-aided-design team works from our designer's sketches and conceptual notes to create a 3D model of the new jewelry. We create full color, high-res images and review them with you via e-mail, text, or in our store.
