Amazing jewelry boutique! Sami is such a warm hearted person and has immense talent in his craft. This is the perfect place to go for anything custom but he also sticks gorgeous ready made pieces. My husband has purchased several pieces here for me as gifts and they are always perfect. He also converted an heirloom pin of mine to a necklace pendant, resized a matching ring, and fixed my wedding ring which another jeweler had repaired poorly. He did an amazing job and I was very pleased with his fine work! On top of all that he provides excellent customer service. I highly recommend Bendi Jewelers. read more

Sami at Bendi jewelers is the best. I had an old diamond pin of my grandmothers that I wanted to use the diamonds in for my wedding ring. I was overwhelmed at designing it and he walked me through every step. Trusted him with family heirloom diamonds and do not regret it. My ring turnued out beautifully and was better than I imagined. Sami is also the nicest guy- I like to take my friends in when they're in town so they all understand why I rave about him so much! read more

We wandered into Bendi on a rainy day to browse wedding bands. Sam was so personable from the start and listened to our desire to create two bands from my great grandmother's gold wedding band. Sam offered a reasonable price to redesign the ring into two bands and hand delivered them to me for my convenience. Each time we returned to Bendi, Sam always remembered us and our unique story. I never expected this kind of wonderful experience in our wedding planning. If you are looking for something similar, go see Sam at Bendi on Main Street! read more

The best jeweler in the area!! I went to Sami after shopping around for my now wife's engagement ring. I wanted something custom which surprisingly most jewelers would not do or really overcharged you for it... Sami helped me design the ring himself! He took the time to really understand just what I was looking for! Once done, I was floored by just how well the ring turned out!!! Needless too say my wife said yes and could not stop remarking at how it shinned! Now I refer everyone that comments on her ring to Sami! We went back for our wedding bands too! He custom made my wife's band to fit her engagement ring! We could not be happy with how everything turned out!! Sami is the BEST in Philly!! read more

My fiancé should be writing this review since he dealt with Sammy the owner in designing my ring but words can't express how great this experience has been. Bendi jewelers is wonderful shop, Sammy has beautiful pieces of jewelry to choose from and will handcraft your hearts desires! We will definitely be back for our wedding rings and any other gifts. I would recommend this jeweler to anyone who asks. The quality of product, customer service and overall experience is something you would dream of. awesome!! read more

Bendi - I'm so happy with this beautiful ring!! The picture doesn't do it justice!! - Jewelry Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Sami made a rush order wedding band for us so we could get married on time after the first ring we bought (online) left us feeling underwhelmed. Sami helped Darren find a band width that he loves, and suggested a satin finish in yellow gold that complemented Darren's skin tone. It was completely different than what Darren thought he wanted--and SO much better. The ring is masculine and handsome and traditional and when I see it on Darren's hand my heart skips beats. Thank you thank you thank you! You could not ask for better customer service or quality artisanship. read more

I don't normally write reviews but Bendi Jewelers is now my lifetime jewelry store. This was the greatest experience at a jewelry store in my life. I was one month from getting married and my fiance and I went to Manayunk to look for wedding bands. We checked some other places first but they didn't quite feel right, though we were totally ready to settle. Then, fortunately, we walked by Sami's shop (Bendi Jewelers). He immediately began asking about our vision and what qualities we were looking for and, unlike all the other jewelers, he took the time to understand what we were saying. He was engaging and forthright the entire time, completely genuine and unbelievably friendly. We walked out of there feeling like we just met a good neighbor. I'm no expert in jewelry but I think it was very obvious he has the skill to back everything up because both our wedding bands came out beautifully and ahead of schedule. The other most amazing part: the prices were the most reasonable we had come across in Manayunk as well. Go to Bendi Jewelers and meet Sami and you'll see what I mean!!! read more

I was walking buy Bendi's and stopped to look at the table they had outside. I fell in love with a pair of earrings on that table. Their jewelry is stunning. I am usually not one for "traditional" jewelry but Bendi's even made me stop and stare. Their jewelry is hand crafted which makes it even more unique. I am definately going back with my boyfriend... hey! I'M not going to shell out the money! read more

We could not have imagined a better experience getting our wedding bands. Sami is such a genuine and personable guy, and he made our bands custom after talking through our preferences and ideas. He was able to offer them within our budget, and in great time to avoid any extra stress as our big day approaches. He even reinforced the setting on my engagement ring at no extra cost, just because he felt like it was important to do. We are so happy with our rings and the customer service provided by Sami and Claire at Bendi, and can't wait to wear our rings all the time! Thank you Sami, we look forward to visiting you again soon! read more

About 15 years ago I went into Bendi's with my father to purchase an anniversary gift for my mother. He brought out a loose case of pearls and my father selected the ones he wanted and they were strung and purchased for a little less than $10,000. A few years ago my mother went back to see if she could have then appraised, he had no recollection of ever selling them, even though my parents had frequently purchased jewelry from him in the past. My mother took them to two appraisers on Jewelry's Row. The highest appraisal was for $800. This man is a con artist. He also reset my mother's engagement ring and the baguettes on either side of the stone feel out several times. read more

Sammi is amazing!!! Sammi designed my engagement ring and it is literally the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen. He added so much detail and pizazz to the ring. It is prettier than I could have ever imagined. I am in love with my ring and couldn't be happier! I would 100% recommend Bendi Jewelers. Sammi is extremely flexible, nice and professional. If you are not happy with something, he will bend over backwards to accommodate to you. You will not be disappointed. If you want to design a ring for your soon to be fiance, call Bendi Jewelers, SAMMI is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My fiance and I loved working with Sami and Claire at Bendi for my engagement ring! We found Bendi through a glowing recommendation from a colleague, and we were not disappointed. Sami and Claire are welcoming and take the time to help you find (and create) the right ring for you. They truly care about the customer and the jewelry. We will definitely be going back to Bendi for our wedding bands (and hopefully other pieces of jewelry in the future!). Thanks Sami and Claire and great job! read more

This is the second time Sammy Bendi designed a custom piece for my wife. He initially designed and created the engagement ring and wedding band for her almost 10 years ago, and when I visited him recently to "upgrade" my wife's ring, Sammy did not disappoint. Sammy provided excellent consultation, advice, and recommendations to modernize the ring that included clean lines, beautiful stones and refined details, which suited her beautifully. In addition to providing advice on the design, Sammy made adjustments midway through creation to elevate the ring, surpassing my and wife's expectations. The final product was a high quality diamond ring that exudes elegance and grace - just what my wife deserves. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, ethical and professional jeweler. We experienced exceptional service along the entire process. Sammy truly is a one of a kind and we'll always come to him with any of our fine jewelry needs. read more

I agree with Mathew K. that this man is a con artist. 4 years ago we went there and got trapped by his "charm" and bought a small inexpensive ring. Then 2 years ago we asked him to make us a simple gold necklace (which didn't turn out as we wanted and he had promised to deliver. He said multiple times that he would make it. But as it turns out, he didn't and he doesn't. We paid over $3,000 for what now seems to be less than 6 grams of gold. Today Gold is about $30 per gram (it was less 3 years ago). And Labor could not have been $3000. Huge mistake on our part for trusting him and not checking prices. Con artist in every sense of the word. Do not buy from him, he will promise the world and won't deliver. read more

The best jewelry experience you will ever have. The owner Sami, is an artist and is such a genuinely kind person. Walking in, you will not be pressured or pestered and he takes his time with every single client. Sami's pieces are exquisite; he will custom make anything you like. Sami took time with my fiance to create the perfect ring. He is the most professional and talented jeweler we have come across and after seeing his work on our piece, he is the only jeweler we will ever use again and we don't even live in Pennsylvania! I wish I could give his store 10 stars!! read more

Sami is just a very nice person. I have bought pieces from him over the past 10 years and today I went in for a watch band change, I brought it with me. We chatted for a while, he fixed the band and would not take any money. He has great designs but gestures like that will keep me coming back. read more

My husband and I have been married for almost 14years and my previous 2 wedding bands (from another Jewelry Store) had many broken diamonds, and each ring was set differently which didn't look nice when stacked together. I was very eager to have new wedding bands made. Sami, the owner of Bendi Jewelers in Manayunk, came highly recommended to my husband and me. He made 3 Gorgeous Wedding Bands of his design. Sami spent much quality time with us and showed great enthusiasm and patience to help design wedding bands of excellent quality. His creativity and craftsmanship were beyond my expectations and I definitely hope to give Sami more business in the years to come. read more

Bendi is the best jewelry store I've been to and Sammy is such a great jeweler! I first went in there because I was looking for a gold cross to buy for my Goddaughter's christening. I had checked all of the mall jewelry stores and department stores and just was not finding anything I liked. All I wanted was a simple gold cross that wasn't too gaudy since it was for a baby, but also something that would be timeless for her to grow into. I live in Roxborough and had walked by Bendi a ton of times so I decided I should look in there for a cross. I told Sammy what I was looking for and he didn't have anything in the store that matched, but he had a catalog that he could order from if I saw something I liked. This catalog had everything you could imagine in it. There were probably about 15 pages of just crosses for me to look at. Upon looking in this catalog, I found exactly what I was looking for. Sammy helped me pick out a chain that would go with the cross and showed me examples of similar ones that he had so I could get a better idea of the size and how delicate it was. The cross came in about a week and it was absolutely perfect. It was 14k gold, as well as the chain and they were very reasonably priced. It was a much better quality than anything I saw at the mall jewelry stores and it even cost about the same or less. Sammy also does custom jewelry, which I find to be rare nowadays. My mother had an engagement ring that my father had given her just sitting in a drawer since they are divorced. She wanted me to have the diamond from it so we took it into Sammy to see what he could do with it. We ended up designing a custom necklace using the diamond with Sammy's suggestion. The necklace is absolutely gorgeous. The diamond looks better than ever and is much more wearable for me than a diamond ring. He truly transformed the diamond and gave me a one of a kind piece. I highly recommend going to Bendi if you're looking for quality jewelry or any type of custom design. You will not be disappointed! It's so nice to have an actual jeweler to go to instead of those crappy mall jewelry stores where they try to pressure you to buy low quality jewelry. Bendi is very reasonably priced and has a wide selection. And Sammy is so sweet and personable. You don't feel any type of pressure when you go to him and you leave knowing you have a great piece of jewelry. read more

Sami's work is amazing! My fiance and I couldn't be happier with the ring he created for us. I don't doubt my bands will be as equally beautiful. Sami really takes the time to understand and envision what you actually want. If you want to love your jewelry more and more each day (like I do!) Bendi is the place to go! read more
