"I received my ring today and it is absolutely lovely, I have already placed an order for another! Thanks so much for the beautiful ring!" Donna P

"I ordered my ring from you last week and received it today. Just like you predicted, I'm thrilled! It's even more delicate than I thought, I love it. The sapphires are bright and sparkly and the colour is gorgeous. It's the perfect present! I also wanted to tell you how nice I thought you were when we spoke on the phone. You were very patient and kind with me!" Roxane P

"The ring you sold me is absolutely gorgeous and the center of attention every time I look at it. Thank you for the lay-a-way plan that made it possible for me to purchase the ring, I absolutely love it thank you again. The ring you sold me also came with some sincere advice about life and believing in yourself and believing you are worthy of the best. It is heartwarming to know that there are people in this world that are kind enough to extend their kindness to you. In life sometimes you say things to people and not know how much of an impact your words can have on a person's life. Thank you for the advice and sincerely hope that you receive many blessings in return." Leslie V

"I want to tell you how much I LOVE my rings. My c.1880 Victorian engagement ring is beautiful! I've been wearing the ring for about 3 weeks now and I continue to get wonderful compliments about how beautiful my ring is. We are getting married in August and are equally excited about our Civil War-era wedding bands! Thank you so much for all your help..." Mela R

"The ring is as gorgeous as I'd imagined in person. I'm definitely happy with it and will love wearing it for the rest of my life. Thank you for being so helpful in this." Rachel G

"My first order just showed up and I love it... It's everything that I was hoping that it'd be. I also really liked the boxes that it came in. Everything is very high quality! Thank you!" Mary W

"I got the ring a few days ago, and my fiancee and I think it's probably the most beautiful ring we have ever seen. I LOVE it! You were right, it doesn't go with the ring from his grandma, but I will wear that one on another hand. The one I bought from you can stand alone, it's so beautiful. Thank you so much for your help and advice. If I know of anyone looking for jewelry, I will let them know about you." Leah B

"We got the rings at the weekend. Thank you, they are gorgeous! I have a square princess cut .5 carat ring and it fit beautifully inside the two rings. Thanks again for your help and patience!" Elaine

"I just wanted to thank you for carrying such a unique, lovely ring! You were right-it's even nicer in person. My fiance and I are very happy with the ring and look forward to many years of enjoying it!" Courtney B

"I wrote you a couple months ago about a ring that had been sold. I cried my eyes out when I discovered I couldn't look at it online anymore and that it was gone forever. (It made me so happy just looking at it all the time!) Your pictures are the most professional online, by the way, very detailed. When he took this little green box out of the sewing bench we had just purchased at an antique shop, I didn't know what was happening. I thought he was playing a joke on me, but then I realized it was that ring that I fell in love with just sitting there in my lap! I cried for ten minutes straight! Needless to say I am the happiest girl in the world! Thank you for going along with the surprise. He knew I couldn't let go of that ring without contacting you and making sure it was gone. So funny! This is a beautiful story and will be a memory in our lives." Rozalyn L

"A while back I purchased a gorgeous wedding band from you. My fiance and I looked at this ring for a few months and couldn't find anything more beautiful and perfect, except for the size. I purchased it from you anyway, as you and I discussed the possibility of stretching it a size. I just wanted you to know that it worked. My jeweler carefully stretched it to a size 8. We just love the ring so much, Marlene. It is completely perfect. And you were a wonderful gift to us as well. You are such a sweetheart to work with. I want to thank you so very much for the beautiful addition to our family (it will be an heirloom) and for your kindness and assistance. You are a gem!" Lisa P

"A jewelry designer and historian, Marlene buys antique and estate jewelry and sells them for unbeatable prices in her little lace and paisley shop (formally a chicken coop). Marlene herself is no-nonsense: she won't sell engagement rings to men shopping without their fiances-to-be and she wants to know exactly how much you're looking to spend before she shows you anything. But don't be deterred by her sometimes-brusque attitude; she'll give you great personal attention and make you feel like you're the only one there. (The Saturday I was at her shop there were six of us from all over the Pittsburgh area, numerous phone calls for internet orders, and a couple on the phone looking for directions from Erie, PA!)" Julina G

"I got the ring about a week ago. It's beautiful! thank you for all your help. You were very helpful in all phases of my purchase. You have an outstanding staff. Thanks again." Daniel A

"As you know I got the ring and loved it. You calling me the day I got it was awesome, you do not find that personal touch with service anymore. You made me feel that you loved the ring just as much as I do, and my fiance does now. Thank you so much!" Peter S

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the rings and they are even more beautiful than I could have even imagined!! They look as if they were made to fit my engagement ring and I am so glad that I found them on your site. You and your staff (Torin is the best!) have been absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful from day one and I am thrilled to have found wedding bands that make this family heirloom engagement ring my own without taking away from it. And you were right two curved bands is definitely the way to go. I have been telling everyone I know about your store and everyone who sees these bands are just blown away!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I can't wait to send you pictures! " Ashley R

Thank you for your help in creating such special memories for us." Best, Heidi & David

"Hi Marlene," Just wanted to thank you for all the help with the ring. I have just picked it up from the depot (because I couldn't wait for them to deliver it!) It is absolutely gorgeous. Even more gorgeous than I had imagined! I will have to keep sneaking it on between now and the big day! I'm sure you will get lots more orders when my friends see it." Warm regards, Katie(England)

"Marlene, The ring arrived sooner than promised. Thank you for you for the wonderful, prompt service We are very pleased with the ring. My Girlfriend and I have been talking about and looking for rings for a couple of months. We came across your web site and we had narrowed it down to about five rings, but we did not come to a decision. I decided to order a ring and try to make it as much of a surprise as possible considering that she knew I was going to propose. During the week it was getting sized and shipped to me we didn't talk much about the ring. I think I said we would order a ring on Thursday (the day after I was planning to propose) when she brought up the topic. The ring arrived on Tuesday and I was planning to propose on Wed. My fiancee sent me an email Tuesday night, saying "I like this one best" with a picture of a ring from your collection. As it happens it was the one that I had ordered. After dinner on Wed. I got down on one knee with the ring in hand and proposed. She was surprised. There is a beautiful antique wedding band in you collection that I will suggest to her. Again thank you for your assistance and I would highly recommend your collection to anyone that was looking for an engagement ring." Steve

"Hi Marlene, We are engaged! Liz and I wanted to send you a quick message expressing our thanks for helping us find the most beautiful engagement ring. In the beginning stages of looking at rings, Liz kept saying that she wasn't really into them, but she can't keep her eyes off of hers now that it is on her hand. She and all of her friends absolutely love it and I am so happy we found it on your website. Thank you again for being such a huge part of our lives and our wedding story. All our best," Clay and Liz

"Hi Marlene, I wanted to let you know that I received my ring on Friday and I just love it! The size 4 fits perfectly. Thank you so much for your timely shipping and processing of my order. I love to show off my ring and you can be assured that I will promote your site and rave about the beautiful jewelry that you offer and also talk up the very affordable pricing . Your selection of jewelry is better than any jewelry store around my area. There is absolutely no comparison on the selection, pricing or customer service. You definitely win, hands down! Thanks again!" Katie

"Marlene: The ring was waiting for me when I arrived back in Afghanistan. It is absolutely lovely! I love it and I know she will too! Thank you so much for your help and persistence." Matt

:Marlene, I wanted to email you and let you know how pleased I am with our purchase on my engagement ring. I love the ring!!! Buying online, I was a little skeptical but you have done such a great job making my fiancé and I feel like we were your only customers. I have worked in customer service/sales for the last 11 years and the customer service we got from your store was a 10 in my book. Something that lacks almost everywhere you go. I have already told my fiancé that we must make it a point to come to PA just to come to your store. We both love antiques and would love to meet you in person. You made this special time in our lives all the more special. We thank you for being a part of our new lives together. Again, thank you." Janice

"My son couldn't stand it - he showed it to his girlfriend today - She absolutely thinks the ring is Awesome! And she said - it's actually better in person than online.... Thanks so much - I would love to come up and look at all your pretties!!! I want to see what YOU wear! Sincerely," Lisa

"Marlene, Thank you for your wonderful earrings, and of course, gorgeous rings. We love our visits with you, the unique guidance and expertise you offer, and your amazing collection. We adore you and so appreciate your offerings." Molly & Jeff

"Dear Marlene, I just had to let you know how I appreciate the personal touch you have with your business & your patrons. I ordered a vintage 14k wedding band, you shipped, I didn't fall in love with it. You very graciously took it back & sent me another. It is absolutely FABULOUS!! I chased down the UPS man this morning & ripped open the package! This ring was made for me. It is faceted & sparkles, I have already been complimented on it after wearing it 15 minutes. I LOVE LOVE it! Thanks for your fair prices & kind disposition. I will shop you again!" Cathy in Oklahoma

"Hello, First I would like to say thank you for delivering my ring on time and in tip-top condition. My girlfriend is very happy with her ring and the fit is great. Thanks again for all of your help." Adam

"Good Morning Marlene, The mounting is a keeper! You really called it, I just love everything about it so much. We took it to the jeweler in St. Augustine on Saturday, and he set the diamond perfectly! It looks so awesome, and is just what I wanted. Thanks again, Marlene - it was fun to meet you and really appreciate your help with this important personal experience of finding the right engagement ring to wear forever and always." Candice

"Marlene, I received my beautiful ring safely here in Okinawa. It is gorgeous and reminds me so much of my grandmothers ring which was my goal. Your service has been more than perfect. When I called you a few weeks ago to place the order I was so impressed with your hospitality and personal service. I feel like I received far better service than if I'd have gone into a jewelry store and had face to face service. I couldn't be happier with my ring and with the service you have provided. Who would have thought I could have accomplished this purchase from my living room here in Okinawa. Thank you so very much." Shirley

"Got the rings, Marlene. They look great, very classy. Thank you for the prompt shipping and excellent customer service. Jessica is insanely excited about the rings."Chris

"Dear Marlene, It's here!!! It arrived yesterday, he proposed last night, the ring is on my finger, and it's PERFECT! I adore it!!! It's so very beautiful, and it is just exactly right for me. I adore you for your help. Thank you!!! You are a dear and special part of our story now. I'll be in touch later about the wedding band(s). Kindly, and with a long-distance hug," Allie

"dear Marlene, i wanted to let you know (although i am sure you have already checked the tracking history) that i received the platinum wedding band last week. my fiance and i love it. thank you so much for the care and time that you put into this sell. Sincerely," Leslie and John

" Hi Marlene, I ordered a set of curved wedding bands from you a couple of months ago. I wanted to tell you how beautiful they are and what a special touch they added to my engagement ring. Thank you so much! Sincerely,"Dionne

"Thanks so much Marlene. You were such a pleasure to talk with today and to buy my wedding ring from! I love *everything* on your site, especially what I purchased today. I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer! Take care and call if you need anything further from me. I look forward to wearing my ring for the rest of my life!" Katey

"Marlene, I told my friend of the good service and pricing and now he is just running around and checking locally and then with you online. my review is below: The Marlene Harris Collection has an amazing variety of unique jewelry to fit nearly anyone's taste, especially if you are looking for something different from other mainstream stores. Marlene is honest and helpful and wants to assist your purchase in the best way she can. Listening to her and trusting her advice and judgment was a wonderful decision to make. The ring arrived quickly and in wonderful condition. It is sparkling beautifully now on my fiance's finger, and she loves it! Thank you Marlene!" John

"Marlene, The ring is beautiful and exactly what I hoped for! I have it at my jeweler getting appraised for insurance then sized and inscribed. I really am glad I stumbled onto your website. I had looked at all the rings at my jeweler's and nothing struck me. They could have custom made a ring for me but it could have cost 2-3 times what I paid for the ring I wanted." Amanda

"Dear Marlene, The sapphire engagement ring and "matching" wedding bands arrived this morning. They are exactly what I imagined them to be: perfectly beautiful! I knew when you chose the wedding bands that the finished look would be exquisite. I'm looking forward to Oct. 24th when I can wear all three rings together. It was my pleasure to work with you! Best wishes to you and your family. Thank you for everything! Sincerely,"Kristen

"Hey Marlene, I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that I just love the ring and thank you for the wonderful customer service. It truly was a pleasure doing business with you. Sincerely,"Sharon

"Marlene herself, answers the phone; not an operator. My question was answered and because of that I purchased my rings. They were sized perfectly and when I opened the box I was blown away at their perfection. I wear an eternity ring between them. Thanks for the quality merchandise and service. Highly recommend."Peppy

"After months of research and looking around we finally found a beautiful wedding ring to match the shape and style of Erin's 30s era engagement ring! The catch? There were several possible rings and they were all in Pittsburgh! so we piled in the car with Erin's mother, told Ben's parents to meet us and headed out to Pitt for a blast of a road trip and an even better weekend. The high point of which was, without a doubt, meeting Marlene. Now into her 70s but Marlene continues to run an unparalleled estate and recreation jewelry boutique, out of what she says used to be a chicken coup, on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. The charm of her store is only outdone by Marlene and her fantastic tulip coat. What a blast we had talking to her and getting her help in picking out just the right band."Katherine

"Marlene, Thank you very much for helping me to make this gift something special for my wife. I just tracked where the ring is and I'm sure that it will have no problems getting to Serena on time. I just wish that I could be there when she opens it. I know that she'll absolutely love it. Thanks to technology (webcams) I'll get to see her reaction when she opens it up. I'm sure that it's everything that I wanted it to be for her."Eric

"Hello Marlene, I received the ring and do love it! It's much bigger (the moonstone) than I had expected actually, but it fits perfectly." Annie

"Hi again, The necklace just arrived, I can now go home and start my Christmas holidays. It also looks really amazing and will really compliment the ring. Thank you so very much for making it possible for me to provide these gifts for my girlfriend, I can not wait to see her open then, thanks again and have a Merry Christmas. Cheers,"Adam

"I just received the ring which I recently purchased from your website. I must say, the picture on your site, of this ring (WB2147), does it no justice. Seeing it up close, I must say, it is a beautiful piece of jewelry. I am certain that my mother will be as blown away by it as I was. Thank you very much, I will be sure to spread the word... Sincerely,"Manuel

"Thank you Marlene! We got the ring in time and it is beautiful! perfect! I wish you the best!"-Vanesa

"Hi Marlene, We wanted to let you know that the rings arrived and they are beautiful and fit nicely. We took your tip and went to the Phipps Conservatory while in Pittsburgh and it was wonderful. Thanks for the great info and your wonderful service while we were in town. I am sure we will be seeing you again. Sincerely,"Cathy and Dave

"Hello Marlene-- I just wanted to let you know that I received the ring and everything worked out great. I loved the design and better yet, my girlfriend loved it even more. She was also interested in the wedding bands that go with it. Thanks again for all of your help. Have a great holiday season." Chris

"Hi Marlene, The ring arrived on Friday. It is a real beauty! Thank you for being so prompt with sending it out. The delivery process was seamless. I will recommend your services to my friends who may be looking for a beautiful ring. Kind regards,"Damian

"Marlene, I have been a little busy being over here in Iraq. Serena absolutely loved the ring. I had to convince her that it was ok to wear everyday and that she didn't have to keep it in the box and only pull it out for special occasions. She now wears it (almost) everyday. I was a little worried that the stone might be too small, but after seeing it on her hand (thanks to web-cam) I think anything larger would have been too much for an everyday ring. Thank you again for everything,"Eric

"Hi Marlene, I just wanted to let you know how much I love my beautiful engagement ring setting. I had been searching for months, and I never found anything that was this perfect for me. Thank you so much! Your shop is beautiful, and I can't wait to come back to get the wedding bands! Thanks again!"Mandy

"Hi Marlene, I just wanted to let you know that I got my wedding band today. It is so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Thank you for all your help. It looks great with my solitaire, but I am just curious for future reference do you sell a matching semi mount in this style? That would be something I would be interested in a year or so down the road."Heather

"Thanks, Marlene. You really are a wonder!! You have gone far beyond any anticipated level of professional service. I am very grateful. I will let you know when the package arrives."Damian

"Thank you Marlene! The ring arrived a few minutes ago and it fits perfectly! I love how delicate and fine it is. And of course, the idea that some woman in the 1890's also loved it. Thanks for everything,"Morgan

"Hi Marlene, Your package arrived the other day. Thank you so much for your assistance. I will need to buy wedding rings in the near future and would like to buy them from you, so I will keep in touch. Regards,"Damian

"Hi Marlene, I am so happy my stone will work with that setting! I am so excited to get it finished! That's all I thought about yesterday!"Angela

"Good Morning Marlene! I want to thank you for the most beautiful ring! It's like it was MADE for my ring - they fit so perfectly together! I took it to my jeweler and he wants your info as a reference for his customers, as he was quite impressed! I can't thank you enough for your kindness and expertise in my quest for a wedding band. We are in awe that you were able to recommend the perfect ring just from the pictures I sent to you. It means so much to me to have the perfect ring, and you were able to provide that. I will recommend you to all of my friends and family who love antique jewelry as much as I do! You are doing such beautiful things for people! Thank you so much for making my special day, that much more special. Warmest Regards," Crystal

" Dear Marlene, I’m not going to pretend that I know much about jewelry, because I don’t. What I do know is that my future wife LOVES her ring and shows it off to everyone she meets. It makes me feel so proud seeing her that happy. I could not have done it without you, I really couldn’t. It is such a pleasure to deal with someone that whole heartily LOVES what they do and it’s apparent when you’re interacting with your customers. I love my fiancée very much and with your help, I was able to show her by giving her a ring that swept her off of her feet. I went into your shop desperate to find that “perfect ring”. I not only found that dream ring but I also found a friend! Thank you once again for ending my search and making my fiancée so happy!"Frank

"I love love love love love LOVE my ring! Thank yo so much Marlene. I can't wait for my wedding so I can wear it every day!" Sophia

"Marlene, Anthony in Iraq here. The ring is absolutely beautiful, very nice center stone as well. My lady is going to love it, and I think it is exactly what she wanted. Thank you so much. I will definitely be contacting you guys within the next few months about some matching wedding bands."Anthony

"Two years ago I spent hours on the computer with my boyfriend then Josh looking everywhere for the perfect antique style engagement ring we figured we'd have to order it out of state so finally i came across the perfect ring i was in love. It was everything i was looking for and more. I figured it was from another state and then i went to contact and saw it was in Pittsburgh, where we are from. then i knew it was truly fate We went up the next day and bought it Marlene was so helpful and sweet she made Josh and I feel like one of her own children and our daughter Arabella. I went back a few months later to get my ring sized and Marlene remembered My daughter's name. Now here we are 2years later a couple weeks away from Our wedding and we went to go get my wedding bands Which goes with my ring absolutely breath taking, My Rings looks like we spent thousand & thousands of dollars on but they were actually really affordable..

It fits perfectly, and I know I'll be getting tons of compliments on it. You made buying my ring a very pleasant experience, and you are a sweet sweet lady. I appreciate you making my experience so enjoyable. The presentation of the ring was just as beautiful as the ring. Believe me, I'll be referring my friends your way. Thank you again, for making a special time even more special!," Michele

"I just wanted to drop you a line to say I have received the wedding band and I could not be happier. It has truly exceeded my expectation and I am so happy it fits perfectly with my engagement ring and I think it looks like they were made for each other. Thank you so much for your help and emails. I will spread your name among my friend and family and hopefully you will get more business from this side of the world. Thank you so much again," Tania

"Marlene, I just wanted to let you know that Joey proposed this past Friday. My ring is even more beautiful than I remember it being that day we picked it out together! He let me know that you told him to make sure he got down on one knee when he asked me; he took your advice, and it was perfect. Thanks for everything and we can't wait to come in again to pick out my wedding band! Take care,"Suzanne

"From the moment I walked into Ms. Harris's shop in Blawnox, I knew that my search for an engagement ring was over. Having combed through so called "diamond districts" in both New York and Philadelphia I was unable to find anyone who had an adequate collection of vintage filigree rings. Thankfully, Ms. Harris's shop had such a beautiful and wide variety of these rings I had no trouble finding many rings that fit both my requirements and my budget. After choosing several rings that fit my criteria and price range, she helped assist me in selecting the one that would both hold up best over time as well as fit my fiance's personal taste. The most memorable part of the experience was the warm and caring atmosphere that Ms. Harris and her staff brought to this difficult process. THANK YOU!!!"Michael

"I just received my ring today and wanted to let you know that it is absolutely gorgeous and I love it! It looks just like the one my Grandmother had. Thank you so much!" Jessica

"Dear Marlene, Thank you for helping me pick out two unique, very special rings and the pair of amethyst butterfly earrings on my recent trip to Pittsburgh.

"Dear Marlene, My fiance ordered a setting from you to put my grandmother's diamond in. It is one of your antique replicas. It is absolutely perfect!!! Even though it is brand new, it has the detail and beauty of an antique and does the 50 year old diamond perfect justice. Thank you so much! I cannot wait to order the matching wedding band and more!"Lauren

"Hi Marlene, I just picked up the mounting (it actually arrived yesterday but I was out of town) - so arrived very quickly!! LOVE IT!!! Can't get it off even though the diamond hasn't been set yet!

"Dear Mary Joe and staff, Thank you for the prompt delivery of the antique wedding ring (WB2238) I ordered Tuesday of this week. It arrived today and I am so pleased. It is as delicate and beautiful in real life as it appeared on your web page. I know I will cherish it as I would have had it been passed on to me from my grandmother. Again, thank you for your expert service. Sincerely,"Robin

"I'm in the Army, stationed in Germany. The ring got here quickly and in perfect shape. I took my girl to a castle on a hill over-looking a village. As the sun set, she looked out over the unfolding scenery. I knelt behind her and called her name. She turned around and I asked her "Will you make me the happiest man in the world?" I waited for a minute and awkwardly said "Well...?" "You haven't asked me anything yet!" she replied, with a huge smile on her face. She was so transfixed with the ring she hadn't even heard me. I repeated myself and she responded with "Duh! I mean... Yes!" All said, she loves the ring and it'll be a great story later on. My friend snapped a picture at the perfect moment =) Thanks for helping me make this a magic moment in my life with the woman I will spend the rest of it with"Wayne

"wooooo hooooo! It is here, just arrived they are going to love it! It is just like you said. More beautiful than the pic. Thanks, I wouldn't forget you!"Lori

"Marlene, I just got the ring yesterday and I love it! It's beautiful! Thank you so, so much for putting the rush order in. Next week is something we have been waiting for for a long, long time (since around 97') and it is finally here. It's a complicated story, trust me, but it's a good one. Anyway, thanks again for everything and have a fantastic day!"Mark

"hello. I bought a ring from you earlier this year and have been meaning to write you about it for some time now.I'm curious if you remember any of the history of this ring.we've been engaged for a few months now and she'll still look at her hand and say... this is seriously the coolest ring ever made. I just wish we knew more about it. please email or call if you have a record of it or can remember anything about it. thank you again... obviously it went over pretty well..."Ryan

"Dear Marlene, I just wanted to say a big thank you and show some appreciation for your lovely work. My husband and I purchased my wedding band from you a while ago but I only got to see it a week before the wedding as a friend brought it over from the US. I am so pleased with my ring, it is both beautiful and unique. Many thanks,"Yewande

"Marlene, I wanted to thank you for encouraging me to do this. I absolutely love my ring. It is unique and perfectly designed. I also attached a picture for you to see the finished product. Thanks again,"Angie

"Marlene, Just wanted to drop off a quick thank you - the ring is gorgeous. I just received it today. I am so happy this turned out for the best, thank you for your help, effort, support, and also for the great deal on a beautiful wedding set! Take Care,"Michael

"Marlene, The ring just arrived. As you said, it is beautiful. Please know, since my first phone call a couple months ago, my interaction with you and your colleagues has been like that of dear friends. I have appreciated the encouragement and advice along the way, especially as my knowledge about jewelry is limited, to say the least. I will most certainly be in touch with you over time, as well as recommend you to others. Thank you,"Adam

"Marlene, I wanted to thank you for your help in buying a ring for my soon-to-be fiance! It is beautiful and I'm sure she will be happy. I discovered that my soon-to-be fiance appreciated the vintage/antique style of engagement ring. I have never seen rings that fit her description, especially in the normal retail jewelry stores. That is when I found Marlene's shop on the internet. I am really glad I did! I found an engagement/wedding band set that I know will put a smile on the face of my girlfriend. I'll admit that I was nervous buying a ring over the internet that I'd never seen - but Marlene put my mind at ease. Marlene was great to work with. She answered all of my questions, told me how the shipping process worked, and gave me an approximate arrival date. Everything happened as she said. I am very pleased with the service, the rings, and how she treats her customers. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind ring."Craig
