As a single mother I was not able to buy much, but what I did purchase (a watch and a ring with an emerald) held up very nicely.

They are very honest. I wish I could live next door to them, they are that nice. I wish them good health and happiness they have earned it. THEY ARE OPEN 11:00-4:00 WEDNESDAY - SATURDAY

Overall a pretty good experience, but definitely not without its challenges…read more I first went here about two weeks ago. Spoke to a few nice girls who said I just missed the jeweler--I think he only works until 2 or 3 most days. I said I'd swing back a few days later. Came again three days later and he left early that day, so he wasn't there again. I left my watch and asked for a quote on replacing a fallen chrono hand. I also asked if they wouldn't mind getting me some size 11 claddagh rings to try. They were very nice and said they'd help. Didn't hear anything for four days, so I called back to get the quote. They said they called me (no missed calls on my mobile) and did the repair. I didn't mind since it was $25, but I asked for a quote--not the repair. I swung by two days later. The watch looked great--he did a solid job. But the rings weren't there. The girl behind the counter called the jeweler who informed me that it would be a special order and cost a little over $100. Obviously, the woman who said they'd get a few rings in for me to try was wrong, and probably never even asked him about getting some in to sample. I'm going to chalk this up to just a random comedy of errors. The work was good and the people seem nice.

My wife and I searched ALL of Mercer county for an anniversary ring for her. We drove all over for…read moreseveral weeks until we happened upon Trent Jewelers at the intersection of 'five points' in Mercerville (Trenton). They came highly recommended from another local business owner and so we gave it a go. The owners are brothers and are BOTH extremely personable and VERY professional! They have been around since 1981 apparently and it is very easy to see why. It seems that a few of the family members work together there, and they are all just as helpful and friendly. My wife had lots of questions about diamonds and Paul did his best to make us appreciate all aspects of buying a diamond, all the while being EXTREMELY patient with us! Buying an expenisve piece of jewelery is not easy and we had to go away several times just to make sure the money was well spent. All along, Paul was again very patient and was able to keep the rings that were in 'the mix' for her, set aside out of the case until we decided on which one. We knew after our very first visit that it was NOT a matter of 'IF' we would buy from him, but 'WHEN'... We highly recommend Trent Jewelers!

I live in Florida. Which has only 5 Authorized Rolex Dealers in the state. 18 months ago I reached…read moreout to the five dealers, to express my interest in the Rolex SS Submariner Date Only one, of the Five Dealers, had the courtesy to respond to my text from the Rolex website. That was Hamilton Jewelers, and to my surprise it was a Ms. Cassandra McBride who was their Rolex liaison, located in their main Store in Princeton, New Jersey. I followed up with a phone call to her , at the Princeton NJ location It was a very delightful and informative experience . Ms. McBride reviewed my information and explained to me , all the great details about the watch and it's current market availability , but assured that my interest in the watch would be noted and would keep me informed. I told her I frequently visit New Jersey several times a year. On, one trip I went to the store and personally introduced myself to her, had a very nice informative and friendly conversation with her, a very nice customer service experience . I would during the 18 months, text her to reaffirm my interest, and she would always reply quickly , reassuring me, and expressing hope for good news in the future. On December 3,2025, she texted me. And asked if I was still interested in the SS Submariner Date, ironically I was in New Jersey for a social event. I called her back , and reaffirmed my interest, and we laughed that I was in New Jersey. She said she hoped to have good news in the upcoming year. The next day she called and to my surprise said the watch was available. I was ecstatic, we made plans for me to come to their Hamilton Jewelers store in Princeton on the 5th of December. At that time she made me a wonderful presentation of the watch, explaining all the details. It was like Christmas with an old friend. My dealings with Ms. McBride and the Staff at Hamilton Jewelers, was a wonderful experience. The Extraordinary Customer Service, I experienced with Ms. McBride and Hamilton Jewelers, is very rare these days, and I will not forget it.

My experience with this Rolex Authorized Dealer has been disappointing due to what appears to be an…read moreunfair and opaque spending profile system. While the staff is courteous and the store is well maintained, access to desirable Rolex models is clearly tied to prior spending on unrelated items rather than genuine brand loyalty or expressed interest. This expectation is neither transparent nor consistently communicated, leaving customers to guess how much they need to spend before being "considered." For an authorized dealer representing a brand like Rolex, this practice feels exclusionary and undermines trust. I recognize that demand exceeds supply, but using vague spending thresholds instead of a clear, equitable allocation process creates a poor customer experience. Greater honesty and fairness would significantly improve confidence in this store. *Update: Thank you for taking the time to call and explain your Rolex allocation process. I understand how allocations work, however my review reflects my personal experience as a customer, including communication and overall transparency during the process. It was written honestly and without malice. At this time, I don't feel it would be appropriate to remove the review unless my experience itself meaningfully changes. I hope you can understand my position. I do appreciate you reaching out and wish you and your team the best moving forward.

So it goes, the world fills up with strip malls and fast food, and the little human things vanish…read more But Dave's Jewelers on Nottingham Way is still here, shining like a clean window in the rain. A family business. Real people. The hours are short, Friday through Sunday only, but maybe that is good. Maybe it keeps the place human. I brought in my mother's watch. Not a treasure by market standards, but worth more than Fort Knox to her because a friend gave it to her when she retired. Steve met me at the counter. He held the watch the way a priest holds a chalice and treated it as though it were a Patek Philippe. In five minutes he replaced the battery, polished away years of tarnish, and handed it back to me. It looked reborn. The bill was six dollars. Less than a cheeseburger. Meanwhile, I looked in the cases. Not just the cookie cutter trinkets that line the malls, but old pieces with personality, antiques, oddities, jewelry with ghosts in them. This is a store where people still know your name, and you know theirs. That used to be normal in America. Now it feels like a miracle. Support it. Places like this are how civilization hangs on.

Recently, I brought in my old diamond engagement ring that I felt needed a new setting. Marlene took what was once a blah piece of jewelry and turned it into the most extraordinary ring I've ever owned. I was pleasantly surprised with the price and blown away with the quality of work. Yes, it took a few weeks to get my 'new' ring, but worth every minute that this lovely, friendly woman put into making my dream ring happen. Highly recommend this local jeweler.

Can of hairspray in her grey hair, black and silver glitter polish on her ridiculously long nails, the most uncomfy looking fake eyelashes ever. She looked like the world's coolest, most over the top grandma, or like a cross between Joan Rivers and Cruella DeVille. I was looking for a gift for a friend and I told her I don't want to spend more than $50. She showed me several pieces that were exactly $50 and a few that were $60 to $65. That's exactly what she should have done! That's what you would do too, right, as you know these self-imposed price caps are somewhat arbitrary? I bought a nifty bracelet with an adjustable chain thingy for just over $60. She wrapped it beautifully in a box with a fancy bow. Marlene of Marlowe's is cool, she's old school and no nonsense and her look is unique and it's so un-Princeton, where everyone looks perfect and constrained and conformist. I would like to find other occasions to shop here to support this little shop.
