Gino has been a family stable for over 30 years. We would never consider a major purchase from anyone else. We are treated like family, great custom made engagement and wedding rings, watches, pearls, jewelry for the kinds and grandkids. If you can dream it, Marry Me can do it. Great prices, very high quality. They will not stear you wrong or take advantage. Family business at its best.

If you need anything go see Gino! My family has been going to Marry Me jewelers for years. He has helped us with many of our jewelry needs including resizing my grandmothers ring and more importantly he helped my fiance and I design my engagement ring! I have received so many compliments on it and I am so in love with it! Gino worked personally with us and focused on our design process and budget! No need to look further, go see Gino!

I took my gold bracelet to Marry Me Jewelry to get it repaired. Because it is older bracelet it is pretty worn and have gotten it fixed twice already. They did a lovely job repairing it and cleaning it, looks brand new! I did not give them a 5 star review because I did ask them to shorten it (1.5 inches) and it is on both receipts (the one I got when I dropped it off and the one I received when I picked it up) but it was not shortened at all.
The weight is the same on both receipts. I was told they would be able to shorten it, so I'm not sure if during the repair they realized the couldn't or forgot? Either way it wasn't communicated. I'm not pressed about getting it shortened, just wish I would have gotten what I asked/paid for as a costumer. Regardless I am just glad to get my bracelet back and to be able to wear it again.

While I haven't bought any jewelry from Marry Me, I've brought in many pieces for repair or resizing. They do great work and I think the prices are very reasonable. I recently had earrings made into pendants - very nicely done. Definitely check them out!

I took my Mom here today to get her watch fixed. The woman who helped us was so nice. She went above and beyond for my Mom. She wasn't concerned about making a sale, she just wanted to help my Mom. You don't see this kind of compassion and superior customer service anymore. If you're looking for jewelry or in need of jewelry repair I urge you to go to them. Very helpful and kind!

First. I've been doing business with this establishment for over a decade. Their store is conveniently located with plenty of parking. Nearby is the Best Buy. Merry Me Jewelers has a GREAT watch selection. In particular, are the REACTOR brand watches. Each is unique. I own three of them. Very distinctive. No matter whick watch I'm wearing, I receive compliments about them all the time. I haven't seen another jewelry store with this selction of quality.
