Have been going to have work done and jewelry appraised for many years. I was glad to see the same great service and quality workmanship is going forward with Richard'a son in charge.

I can offer nothing but praise for Richard Dolgin! My fiance purchased my engagement ring from Richard back in the summer and we have had the best experience working with this family-owned company since. Richard is very professional and transparent. He also has beautiful options for every price range. Richard was more than happy to answer my questions on care and maintenance of the ring. He also carefully walked us through our selection of wedding bands. I would highly recommend Richard Dolgin to anyone. I cannot stress it enough, you will not get this level and quality of service from a large jewelry chain!

I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Richard on finding the perfect engagement ring for my fiance. He's very patient and is clearly trying to form meaningful and personal relationships with his customers. He helped me select a beautiful stone in my price range and never pressured me into going over my budget. We're looking forward to doing business with him in the future.

Today we are celebrating 20 years of marriage with a new wedding band for me designed and made by Richard and Marsha to compliment the ring we bought from him for our wedding. It was exactly within our budget, beautiful and elegant beyond anything we could imagine. We have always received personal attention and kindness. When I accidentally threw my wedding ring and antique aquamarine ring into silver cleaner where they sat for over 24 hours, I ran to Marsha, crying my eyes out. She produced a miracle and restored both to brand new! We appreciate the expertise, quality and price of the jewelry at Richard Dolgin's.
