Full disclosure - I grew up around the corner from Michael Press. But while we've known each other for decades, that only matters because its the reason I went to Mike for an engagement ring in the first place. However, it does not, for a moment, affect this review. Sometime a while back, I knew I was going to propose to my lovely fiance (spoilers! she said yes), and started shopping for a ring. Researched the important factors and started looking around, and while i found a lot of nice rings, nothing that really called to me. It was a frustrating process, culminating in buying what I thought would be the perfect ring online, only to return it. That was probably the lowest moment, and so I took a break in my ring shopping. Fast forward some months later, and I saw someone else from my hometown post photos on social media of a beautiful designer engagement ring from Mike Press and MRP Jewelers, and so I reached out to Mike. I had no idea what I wanted, even after all that shopping, and couldn't have been more nervous. I didn't want to design a custom ring, because I have the imagination of a piece of wood, so I relied on Mike to ask the right questions and pick out a number of options. He was patient, detailed in his explanations of various rings and options, and came up with a number of beautiful suggestions. Nevertheless, I still could not make a decision. I was scared of completely screwing this up. I asked a million questions, then disappeared for weeks while I thought about it, only to come back and ask more questions. Mike never brushed me off or decided I wasn't going to be a sale - he just kept helping me along. In the end, not only did Mike find a beautiful diamond but he held it for me in spite of having other interested parties. Sent me photos, videos, descriptions, etc until I was finally able to pull the trigger. With the perfect diamond, he then suggested what ended up being the perfect setting to go with it. I was so trilled with what he put together that I wasn't even worried about whether or not Melissa would like it. Again, it was perfect. I wish I could find more good things to say. This was an incredibly stressful and nerve wracking process but Mike made it easy in the end. I was glad to give the business to someone I've known my whole life, but even still, was not expecting the kindness, patience, and helpfulness to the degree Mike provided. He bent over backwards to make this easy. read more

MRP Jewelers - Mike did an incredible job - Jewelry Near Me - Forest Hills, Ohio

Excellent experience all around! I used MRP Jewelers for our wedding rings last year and was impressed with both the customer service and how much we saved. My wife had a particular type of ring she wanted while I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted for my band. Michael was great throughout the entire process, very personable and friendly, and extremely patient considering how many ring choices we went through. He made sure that we were 100% satisfied with our selection before we purchased (which we were) and made sure both were sized perfectly as well. I got my wife's engagement ring at Zale's and while I liked the ring, I felt the sales staff lacked a lot of knowledge and was more interested in upselling me than finding me the perfect ring. Not only was MRP great, but their prices are a lot less than you'll find online and in most jewerly stores. I have no concept on what the average ring cost, but I realized how much we saved after I looked it up online. I hope to never need MRP again for a wedding ring, but will definitely use Michael for future jewelry purchases. Highly recommended. read more

I purchased a beautiful Panarai 510 from Michael and I have to say it was a very professional and perfect transaction. The watch was packed great and arrived in new condition. Exceeded my expectations. I will certainly do business with Michael in the future. Thank you!!!! read more

Outstanding service and top-quality rings!! Mike is a professional, and treated me with personal care throughout the process. I came to Mike 3 months ago looking for an engagement ring, and with limited diamond ring knowledge. He took the time to explain everything to me, and find the perfect ring for my fiancé. And to top it off, the ring appraised for higher than what it was purchased for. Things worked out so well, that my fiance and I came back and bought our wedding rings (and a special gift for me) from Mike. The best experience I have had, and I recommend to anyone I know in need of a jeweler. read more

I inherited two matching diamonds that I wanted to set as earrings. I found MRP Jewelers via Yelp, and was not disappointed. Michael worked around my schedule, took the time to ensure that I found the perfect setting, gave me a fantastic price, and went above and beyond to take care of my family heirlooms. My earrings are gorgeous! MRP Jewelers is definitely my go-to jeweler. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for fine jewelry! read more

We could not have asked for a better jeweler! Michael has our full endorsement. We were looking for a jeweler for a custom engagement ring. A setting for a tanzanite stone purchased while on vacation in Arusha. We were sold after our very first appointment and the product he delivered is exactly what we were looking for. Perhaps even better. He gave us the best price and answered all our questions. Very accommodating. We will be back for our wedding bands and all our future jewelry needs. Thanks MRP! read more

I was looking for a gift for one of my wife's milestone birthdays, knew that she liked jewelry but was unsure of what to get her. Hinting back and forth with her, I was able to narrow it down to a ring. She told me that an antique (previously owned) ring would even be of interest to her, given the character that an antique offered. Mike of MRP worked with me very patiently, showing me pictures of the different alternatives. We finally settled on a new "criss-cross" style right-hand-band ring with this style, and then priced the same ring (to be custom made) with one of his designer/suppliers. The price I paid was lower than what any of the web prices I saw for the same thing. But more importantly, the ring delivered to me was gorgeous and high quality. I am a very careful buyer and one of the things I like about MRP (MIke) is that he is transparent with his pricing, does not pressure you to buy anything, and takes time to do research for you. The bottom line is - I feel that I can trust him. I will definitely use him for any of my future purchases. read more

I purchased a beautiful 14k gold ID bracelet for my godson this week. The craftsmanship was beautiful and MRP had it ready for me within a couple of days. They have gained a loyal customer for years to come! read more

I can't say enough about MRP jewelers!! Mike goes above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you ask for. I went to him for my wedding band and he wound up matching it exactly to my engagement ring. The diamonds looked perfect like it was a set. Now I'm approaching my 1 year wedding anniversary and my husband is buying me an additional ring- an eternity ring and I'll be sure to call Mike! Great quality and he knows his stuff! read more

I LOVE my engagement ring and get compliments on it all the time!! Thank you MRP!!!!

What an easy experience. I would have made a big mistake without mike's advice. Thanks!

I just made my second purchase from MRP Jewelers. First purchase was a pair of diamond stud earnings. Size, quality & price was better than any store I looked in. This time around, my wife wanted a custom designed necklace created with our daughters names on it. MRP nailed it perfectly. I highly recommend working with Michael and will be back again for sure. read more
