Customer Testimonials

"I have just begun my search for an engagement ring, and I absolutely love your items! I am impressed with so many of the antique and vintage engagement rings and wedding bands. I love the antique look. Thank you for helping me pick out the most important piece of jewelry I'll ever wear!!" — Michelle L

"My fiance and I stumbled across your website while researching ring designs. It seemed like hours of pages of the same designs we had seen everywhere else, when suddenly found your site. Your selection of antique styles and estate rings is stunning. Thank you very much for all of your help!" — Johana W

"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 Periard

"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

"I'm afraid I haven't had time to call and thank you for everything, but I wanted you to know that you have definitely found a customer for life! Everything is just wonderful the pins are perfect and the rings are absolutely beautiful! Thank you again for the advice and I look forward to purchasing from you in the future!" - Robyn K

"My two rings arrived yesterday and they are gorgeous! Thank you again so much - I am beyond thrilled!!" - Jenny B
