The Only Place I will ever buy Jewelry

by djdoc911

I have been to every Jeweler, and I mean every Jeweler, including Max's store several times before I made my purchase, so I had quite an education, and being 40+, I was not some kid making a purchase for the first time.

The entire staff at this store is so low pressure, it was a breath of fresh air from the rest of the "Row". As soon as I would hear from a dealer that, "It sell for this, but if you buy it today, I can discount it to that", I was on my way out the door. I had none of this a Max Weiner's store.

We traded in a piece of Jewelry on the most beautiful ring I have ever seen, and we were given an honest trade in value. Other jewelers wanted to give us more, but the mark up on their diamonds made the trade worthless.

I bought the most beautiful Oval Diamond, flanked by 2 brilliant round stones set in 18K White Gold that took my fiancé's breath away, and she started crying in the store. Just that alone was priceless, but the price was what allowed me to keep my breath. I don't think the mark up at Max Weiner Jewelers is even half of what the other jewelers are asking. We had looked at a ring of almost the exact cut/clarity/color/ and size at another jeweler for over 5 thousand more, and their stone was EGL Cert, not the preferred GIA cert that I bought from Max Weiner.

I have never seen such a beautiful ring, and I have never dealt with such an honest Jeweler, especially on the "Row".

If you are looking to buy any piece of jewelry, before you put any money down on anything, do yourself a favor and see Max Weiner first, and you will be beyond surprised, you will be delighted.

Thank you Max, Diane LOVES the ring, and she cannot stop looking at it.

• Pros: Great Service, Low Pressure, Great Price, High Quality
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Great place to buy an engagement ring!!!

by PSU2001

I just bought an engagement ring from Max Weiner, and I highly recommend this jeweler to anyone looking for a good deal on top-quality jewelry.

I had done my homework, and shopped everywhere, before heading to Philly's Jeweler's Row. (I just couldn't make such an important purchase without seeing what I was buying from an online retailer, nor did I want to pay through the nose for the moderate quality I found at chain stores in the mall.)

I had seen Max's website, and searched his online database of stones, but it was the in-store experience that earned my business. The low-pressure sales approach, and willingness to track down exactly what I was looking for in a diamond and setting, was a pleasant contrast to the hard-sell tactics I encountered at other places on the "Row". Considering their excellent customer service, I was very surprised to find pricing that was competitive even with online retailers I had researched. Max and his staff were a pleasure to do business with, which is why I plan on returning here for our wedding bands and referring any family/friends that are thinking of taking the plunge. Max is my "diamond guy".

• Pros: huge selection, competitive pricing, pleasant, quality gems

Great and Courteous Service

by bmeah71

I recently had my rolex band adjusted at Max Weiner and Max was exceptionally courteous by not only adjusting the band but didn't charge me anything. The service was extremely proffessional. They do have a good collection of jewelry and watches. I would definately recommend this place. A++

• Pros: Excellent Customer Service
