The team helped us pick out a setting that I loved and did a beautiful job removing the diamond from the setting in the necklace and setting it in the ring. The service was friendly and straightforward. It's not the type of shop where they're going to pop champagne when you pick your ring, but that's not what we wanted or needed. I'd recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

Most jewelers date their batteries with a marker and I believe he had as well, but he denied having done the replacement and refused to replace it. For the $1.00 or so, not more it had cost him, since he already had the watch open, the smart thing with respect to customer good will would have been to just put in a new one. But he wasn't smart enough to do that. However he is very shrewd and I think, dishonest. With respect to his incessant TV ads to sell you gold and Rolex watches there for cash, I would suggest you get other quotes on your gold/Rolex before going to Marquis Jewelers!

Their careful, expert attention and explanation led us all to conclude the ring needed to be replaced -- heartbreaking, but I believed I was in good hands.

Alex, his wife, his son, and other family members and staff are kind, patient, and completely invested in customer satisfaction. The ring Alex designed and fitted for me is beautiful and in its presentation, is a tribute to my initial cherished ring. I couldn't ask for more.

We found Boston Private Jewelers when looking online for art deco and Victorian style antique rings. We went downtown to the diamond building and a bunch of the other stores on Washington street but were disappointed with the selection and prices. We emailed Todd through his website and gave him a listing from the website of the pieces we liked. We met up with him in an office building and he brought the rings we mentioned at online, and even more in similar styles, probably 50-75 pieces similar to the 10 or so I picked. His inventory is MUCH larger than what's listed on the website. We sat and were able to try all the rings on we liked and he brought yes and no boxes to help us narrow our choices. We loved that he didn't seem to be trying to rush us or push us to make a selection. We got it down to two rings - one about four times the price of the other, although still very reasonably priced especially compared to downtown crossing, but he didn't try to push me to get the more expensive ring (my fiancé did). He had the ring polished and fixed up since it was an antique and we both LOVE it! After wearing the ring a couple months, the back started irritating my finger and Todd took me to get it smoothed out. It wasn't a significant repair, but we really appreciate the fact he stood behind his product by helping us figure out what was wrong and taking us to get it fixed.

They are one of the only antique/estate jewelers that I came across that had a searchable web site. This was really helpful because I could narrow down what I was looking for and see what they had available. I like to see what I am buying in person (which is hard to do when you buy something over the internet) but I was able to make an appointment and view my selections in person. I worked with a nice guy named Todd. I chose about a dozen pieces that I was interested in and he brought them. He also chose several other options that he thought I would be interested in, based on what I had told him I was looking for. This turned out to be a good idea, since I ended up buying one of the rings that he had picked out. I found out that the jewelry on the web site is only a portion of what is available - there are a lot of other options and Todd was very happy to work with you to figure out what would best fit your needs. Overall, I was really happy with the service and the ring that I purchased.
