I am so sorry to say I had a bad experience here. I truly trusted Mr. George. I had a simple request to set an oval shaped lab-grown 1 carat diamond into an engagement ring setting which I supplied. When I picked up the finished ring, The center stone was NOT the stone I supplied. It was definitely a round (hopefully lab-grown diamond) which looks fine, but is NOT the ring as I had imagined. Hopefully I can find another jeweler who can read the lazer inscription on the stone in the engagement setting. I have lost confidence in this store. read more

Do not trust this jeweler with your time or valuables. They had my rings for months when I asked them to make a custom wedding band only to tell me that no work had been completed and Ron had retired. I should have known something was wrong when they asked me to come in three times and I had never seen a sketch or been given a price quote.They blocked me on Facebook and Instagram so they know they messed up. They offered to do the work but by that point I was two months into a project that had yet to be started. When I went to collect the rings they had no customer service to speak of. Creating anxiety and fear in their customers that their family heirlooms were being held hostage. While I understand they are under new management making excuses and overcharging (when two months later I finally got a quote) is not taking accountability for lost time and trust. Even if it's under new management this place is not to be trusted. read more

I have relocated back to the Annapolis area and needed my ring to be cleaned and checked. The work is beautiful. They replaced the prongs on the main diamond, and secured two questionable outer diamonds, cleaned and completed the rhodium plating. So pleased with the excellent work and quick turn around time. I definitely will be returning for future care! read more

Wife and I were looking for a place to get her 10 year anniversary ring and wanted something custom made and not from one of those big name jewelers. Ron went above and beyond our expectations and are incredibly happy with her new ring. read more

My husband got my engagement ring from Ron George and Ron's son, John, helped transform my husbands design ideas into the most perfect ring! From the beginning, they paid extreme attention to detail and were never lacking in answering any questions or fixing any concerns we might have had. After the proposal, we knew there was NO one else to go to for my wedding band other than Ron George! They created a perfect matching band and later we got is soldered to the engagement ring. When my husband went to pick up my wedding band before the wedding he ended up looking into Ron George's case of fine jewels and found his wedding band and it was a perfect fit. We are so happy with our rings that we will wear for a lifetime and can tell stories about forever. Both my husband and I get compliments on our rings all the time. While my husband did his homework, I know Ron George's expertise and talent was what made my ring a reality! Thank you Ron George and John for your dedication to design and quality! read more

Ron George Jewelers - My custom design ring and my husbands ring both bought from Ron George Jewelers! - Jewelry Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I just picked up my rings and they look great. I bought my wedding ring and engagement ring out of state and then had Ron George Jewelers slightly resize them and solder them together. They look perfect and shiny like new, and it cost me less than $200, which was a comparable price to all the other jewelers in town who gave me quotes. Plus, they spent a long time talking to me the first day I walked in about what needed to be done. Very professional, and then they had the rings ready for me in about 10 days. Thanks for the great work! read more

We have had a number of custom pieces made here. Rob and John are friendly and helpful. They understand my style and create pieces that are better than I hoped for...stop in and take a look at their inventory. read more

My fiancé bought my engagement ring here. The ring itself is beautiful and I love it. Unfortunately, my fiancé got the wrong size. We took it back to the shop and Ron George resized it for us. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable and the resizing was very affordable. read more

My fiance and I wanted custom designed wedding rings and shopped several places for the right person to craft our rings. We had disappointment after disappointment going back and forth with jewelers and failed to get drawings that matched our ideas, even though we had brought photos as examples. In desperation, we called Ron George and were asked to come in. The long and short is that we spoke with John & Ron over many days and were assured that we wanted them to create our rings. They suggested some engravings that we could match to both rings. We had only 6 weeks to get drawings done, cast and set the stones. Fortunately, John had ordered the center stones earlier and I loved one of them instantly. My fiance picked the rings up and didn't allow me to see my completed ring until the "I do". I was without words when I saw it. Our rings are truly stunning! I'd have loved to post a picture. Between our ideas and the ones John & Ron suggested, we are over the moon happy with our beautiful rings and that they were ready ahead of time. The Georges' are easy people to work with and both John and his dad, Ron are master jewelers. It shows. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Took my older watch in for adjustment as it was running a little fast. I was told the watch needed an overhaul for $240.00. 5 months after the overhaul the watch broke . Unable to set the time, the stem would only spin when pulled out.Returned with broken watch and was told another $140.00 To repair. After a delay of 4 months the watch was returned with a stem too tight to easily pull out . I was told " you really need to get your fingernail underneath it to pull it out". It was never like that before and not easy if your nails are short. And To make matters worse, the watch now runs slow. Its worse than before the original "overhaul".Not good! I don't think I'll be returning. read more

John and his team are the consummate professionals. They are so friendly, honest, kind, and they know jewelry. Of all the jewelry options in downtown Annapolis, no one holds a candle to this shop. My sister and I both got our rings cleaned there the day before our weddings and we just love this place! Highly recommend. read more

We recently used Ron George Jewelers to help us create our dream engagement ring! He created a piece of jewelry that I will wear each day and cherish. He did a spectacular job (very quick turn around too) creating a design that was both delicate yet gorgeous. He combined three family rings for us into a unique design that has so much meaning! The people there are so warm and friendly and make the jewelry buying and designing so comfortable and easy. He has done a lot of work for our family including my brothers engagement and wedding bands, gifts for my mother from our father as well as their engagement ring and each time it exceeds our expectations! Ron George Jewelers would certainly be my first recommendation to any one looking for a jeweler. Thank you for your incredible craftsmanship Ron George Jewelers! read more

This is a neat little jeweler. Ron designs the pieces himself, and they are really lovely. We picked out wedding rings today, and he was so nice to work with. Having purchased our engagement ring here last year, he really took the time to find a wedding band that would fit well with the engagement ring (which isn't a traditional engagement ring - it's an emerald-cut aquamarine with diamonds on the sides). If you want a personal experience with a jeweler who can custom make a piece according to your specifications, give Ron George a look. We are so glad we found this shop, and look forward to seeing the finished rings. read more

Amazing family-run business that gets you exactly what you'd expect from a family-run business: quality care, great prices, transparent prices and service, and painless communication. I had a custom ring done with them and they recommended that I take the most cost efficient route for myself rather than trying to squeeze money out of me like other jewelers do! The ring is perfect and I will certainly be going back to them for the wedding band! read more

Love Ron George! He did our custom wedding bands, and put his artful touch on them, and we adore them. Its been a few years, and one of the diamonds fell out of the band, they were able to replace it no problem. My husband has returned for business for other items, always top notch and so unique. read more

Great shop with a very personal feel! When my wife and I went looking for wedding bands in Annapolis we went to every shop looking and asked for appraisals based on the ring my wife wanted and Ron George was the only place that got back to us. We worked with John and he was great! He worked with my budget to make sure my wife got the exact ring she wanted and the results were great! He even matched the engraving on my wedding band to the one on my grandfather's ring! I could be happier with the rings or the service! read more

So glad my fiancé got my ring from Ron. It's so gorgeous and they did an amazing job!!!

My fiancé proposed last year with a family ring. The ring is beautiful but has a unique shape, so I knew I would need a custom band. After doing some research and investigating jewelers in DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis, I decided to go with Ron George and I am so glad I did. My shadow band came out beautifully, matching the metal almost exactly to my band. The shape is perfect and I couldn't be happier with it. The whole process was straight forward and I was updated throughout the process on the status of my ring. It was also so much more affordable than I expected for a custom design. read more

I cannot recommend these guys enough. They worked with my fiancé to create a stunning engagement ring, and then again with both of us for the wedding bands. They are so beautiful! If you have a specific design in mind, they will place an order and put in the stones themselves - cutting down on cost and ensuring quality. They are friendly, prompt, and their store has a very nice selection. Absolutely come here if you're looking for wedding rings! read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is friendly and trustworthy. I worked with John George to design a pendant necklace and the whole process was smooth and perfect. And the final product was better than I had imagined. In addition, the price was better than expected too. Other jewelry stores had given me a higher quote, but the price here was much much lower. Overall, this jewelry store is awesome. They definitely have my business forever! read more

I love this place to pieces, both locations excel at what they do and customer service. If you happen to talk directly to Ron, you will be amazed at how honest and straightforward he is. He will not try to make things look better than they are. And his associates are so friendly you will never want to experience any other jeweler store. I tried Zachary's jewelers once and hell did I regret it! I am back to Ron's. I always have my rings cleaned here and they couldn't do a better job. I highly recommend Ron George Jewelers to anybody, trust me, you will never find a better place that combines professionalism and great customer service. read more

Worst experience ever! Tried to give the hometown guy my business...never again. I brought in multiple diamonds that belonged to my mother, who had passed a short time before, to be made into a necklace for my daughter's Master's Degree graduation. Ron George and I talked over the design I would like, made drawings together, etc. I left many diamonds so he would have multiple to choose from. I even left a picture of my daughter so that he could visualize whom it was being made for. He had a month to make the necklace and promised it would be done in time. The week I was to head to graduation, I finally got a call that my necklace was almost finished. He explained that the diamonds would be "turning a bit when worn but that was normal". It was confusing to me but I trusted him. Later, his son, John, called to tell me the necklace was ready. I asked him to explain to me again what his father had said about the diamonds "turning". When he explained it, something didn't seem right. I asked him to please describe the necklace to me. After doing so, we realized that they had not made the necklace the way Ron and I had designed. NOWHERE CLOSE! It turns out that Mr. George had "mixed up the files" and made my diamonds into a design someone else had requested. At least I'm guessing they were still my diamonds. I was to leave in two days to present this to my daughter and it was completely wrong. They promised to redo it and get it right and get it to fedex'd to me. After a few more phone conversations as to how many diamonds to use and how to get the design correct, I headed out of town. The necklace showed up at my destination, as promised, but was still awful. Before I left, we had had a discussion about how many diamonds to use and what look I was going for (I wanted simple, wearable), yet he decided since I had so many extra diamonds why not put them in too. I received a much more blingy necklace than asked for, a crooked design, and just everything still wrong. SOOOO sad and disappointed. Upon returning to Annapolis, my daughter and I went back to the store and went over things with John George as to how to make it right. We picked it up a month later. Necklace is much better, but still not great. What should have been a an open, extended arc of diamonds is instead practically a "U" shape. AND, Ron George had the nerve to charge me an extra $83 because he had to make the chain 2" longer. This is after my spending over $2k for this experience. You'd think he'd comp that after all of this. AND he no longer had the file with my daughter's picture. Yes, this is a long story, but I am so mad and sad at this ridiculous experience. As a local, I always want to help my fellow Annapolitan. I will never set foot in there again. As we were leaving, his only comment was "Those really are beautiful stones you had". No kidding! read more

I adore this place. Ron and his team were incredibly patient and accommodating as we picked out an engagement ring. I knew I wanted something antique and not a diamond. After brainstorming with knowledgeable staff, we ended up with a stunning sapphire in an edwardian setting, custom placed by Ron. The end result is more than I imagined. The compliments don't stop! Not only am I a fan of his quality and skill, but I left feeling informed and not at all intimidated by the process (which to tell the truth, I anticipated to be stressful). I loved it from start to finish. Top notch quality, service, and style. read more

Amazing customer service! I had received a completely inaccurate appraisal from another jeweler and couldn't have been more happy with the service and results of my experience at Ron George. read more

I took my college ring to Ron George Jewelers to have the fake stone replaced with a gold plug engraved with my initials. The salesman (the owner's son) quoted me a price of "around $300". Three days later, I get a call from the salesman telling me that he misspoke, and that the price would actually be "around $600", because he had forgotten to include the price of engraving. I considered taking my ring somewhere else, but the salesman informed me that he had already put in the plug, and because of the estimate difference he'd adjust the price to $450. I agreed, and was told it wouldn't take very long. I called the store about a week later, and was told the ring would be ready soon. So I called after another week, and was told the same thing. After four weeks went by, they called me on a Wednesday and said the ring would be ready Friday. I couldn't get to the store that Friday, but when I came by the following Monday, the ring wasn't ready. After another week the ring was ready, but when I came to see it, the engraving was backwards. Additionally, the gold plug was protruding above the ring, rather than rounded down as I had specified. I informed the salesman that I wanted the engraving redone in the proper orientation, and the plug shape rounded down. Several days later I received a call from Mr. George, asking if I was sure I wanted the engraving reversed, since "it would be a lot of work". He also said he was concerned it could damage the ring. I told him that yes, I wanted the ring just the way I told the salesman originally. Today, seven weeks after I dropped the ring off, I picked it up. I am pleased with the way the ring turned out, but expected that due to the customer service hassle the price would be discounted. I expressed my displeasure with the process to Mr. George, and about the length of time it had taken. To my surprise, he claimed that much of the delay was them "waiting for me to let them know what I wanted". This was appalling. I told the salesman on the very first meeting what I wanted, and showed him a picture of my grandfather's ring, which I modeled mine after. Though the work was fine, the customer service was very lacking. read more

My fiancé searched for the perfect antique ring to surprise me with and returned to Ron George jewelers due to exceptional customer service (John in Annapolis store) and a beautiful selection of estate pieces. He did plenty of research on diamonds, quality, etc. until he knew what he wanted, and Ron George Jewelers delivered. Great place, great people who care, and overall wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

Worked with John to duplicate a contemporary design idea. He did an excellent job of crafting my request and delivered on time and within the stated period. This was the second time in three years that we worked together on an heirloom piece. It was a great experience! read more

Dishonest and untrustworthy. Mr George kept more than half of my 18kt italian gold necklace when making bracelet & earring from it. Told me he didn't think I'd want the left-over. The earring backings were 14kt and cheap looking and the bracelet broke the first time I wore it. Horrible job. I do not trust him to buy anything nor repair anything! He returned the fastener, but never the rest of the links! Would give him no stars if it were possible. read more

Excellent service and couldn't be more helpful. I went in for a ring sizing and he was completely honest when me about how the end product would look, when other jewelers might not have been. Again, great service. read more

My husband had given me an engagement ring and while I loved the diamond I didn't love the setting as much as you should love your engagement ring...so the search began! For nine months I looked for that perfect setting that would be unique and one that I would love forever and I FINALLY found it at Ron George. John helped me find what I had been looking for. I picked my ring up today and I couldn't be happier!!! My ring is absolutely beautiful! Thank you John for your help!! I am thrilled to show it off! read more

My BF (now fiance') proposed to me in September with a family ring that was beautiful but was not suited for me. We researched jewelers in our area and met with a few. After our meeting with Mr. George, we knew he was going to be the jeweler we chose to redesign the ring. Mr. George is very honest and instead of trying to sell us new stones, he had a genuine appreciation of the Old Mine Cut Stones of the ring and did not try to steer us in another direction. Mr. George looked at my fingers and started sketching immediately and was receptive to our input and suggestions. We picked the ring up in December and the end result exceeded our expectations. He and his associates are very personable and professional. My fiance' and I enjoyed working with him so much that we will definitely be returning to have him design my wedding band. Ron George Jewelers is a family business and the jewelry is gorgeous. If you are in the market for jewelry, I highly recommend you stop in - you will enjoy the experience. read more
