Barsky is quick and easy to communicate with. I broke my ring and they had it repaired and looking beautiful in no time! I frequently get compliments on the unique design of the ring. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience here at Barsky Diamonds.. from the beginning straight through to the end delivered product. Theres nothing like having someone that looks out for the customer. John was very helpful in giving us many options on very different levels of quality and pricing. I feel like this is the best place to go in Philadelphia for diamonds. Very pleased with my purchase and looking forward to having a lifetime relationship with Barsky!!
If I could, I would rate 10 more stars.If you change your mind A-LOT like me, you have come to the right review.Its not easy shopping for an engagement ring. Like most women they like to be surprised, unfortunately, I do not like surprises .... for many reasons :) We started with Barsky back in 2009. Yes, you read that correctly. We come to their location probably two, or three times a year. Guess why? I change my ring constantly. I upgrade our diamonds and make changes to my jewelry pieces... CONSTANTLY! I am that person... I am more ashamed sometimes but if you are like me, and you LIKE changes.... then this place is for you!When I say if you have something in mind, it can be executed.No matter the circumstances. When your rings need to be cleaned, enjoy the city while you wait. Walk around town.I am not too proud to say this, but I have changed my engagement ring, wedding bands and rings ... more times than I can count. I mean that in a humbling way. The reason I explain this, is because Nathan has patience, knowledge, customer service and humbleness. It doesnt matter what type of changes I want, he ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS makes it happen.09- engagement ring12 - changes to ring16 - more changes to ring17- entire new setting kept princess diamond center stone18 - added new band behind new setting20 - upgraded center stone to round diamond20 - added new band w/ upgraded stone20- added additional band w/ more diamondsI would never go anywhere else. Nathan is the perfect person. Its hard finding that perfect jeweler ...you think youre being too picky?you change your mind too much?you want the bigger stone?you want the smaller stone?Every change can be made at anytime. They will execute everything perfectly!
Excellent service! Very honest salesperson! Would highly recommend!
A great place to feel comfortable and confident in your purchase. I did not feel strong armed or pressured by any means. I would 100% recommend to anyone. Not to mention they will take care of your jewelry for life!
From an engagement/wedding rings, to every other life event that has followed, Nathan and the Barsky team have been amazingly helpful in their jewelery support/guidance. Each piece is beautifully crafted. They offer wonderful repair/maintenance for lifes wear and tear on their pieces. We live in California now and we still havent found a new jeweler out here because no one has been able to match Barskys service! They really make you feel like family. It is a must stop for any jewelry needs in Philadelphia!
We had a great experience with Barsky. They very quickly found us a number of diamonds to look at within our price range. We worked with Rick, who was excellent! He was extremely patient and allowed us to take as much time as we needed to view the products. Rick was not pushy in any way and did not try to upsell us. The pricing was extremely transparent and competitive with other places that we shopped at. I’d highly recommend Barsky!
It was a great experience working with Barsky Diamonds. We are extremely happy with our ring purchase and will happily go back to Barsky Diamonds in the future.
I love Barsky diamonds! I wish they were closer to where I live. The employees are beyond nice and treat everyone with respect no matter the amount of money you are spending! I highly recommend them for any of your jewelry buying needs!
My husband and I went to have his mothers diamond from her engagement ring place in my engagement ring setting . Everything went so well.. it was going to take about 6 weeks for remake to happen.. However, my husband passed away in the meantime...I was devastated!!... his mother was coming up from Florida for the funeral, I so wanted to have my ring for the funeral... it’s been a part of me for nearly 30 years... well the ring was still a few weeks from being ready... I made a call to Rick Wool our salesman, told him what had happened and to see if there was ANYWAY my ring could be done... he said he will see what he could do... no promises.... he called me back to tell me the ring would be ready the next day!! Words cannot described how happy that made me!. To me they went above and beyond to make my loss a little less painful... So Thank you Thank you Thank you! To the staff at BarskyDiamonds for their amazing customer service!
Our experience at Barsky is always top notch. Wonderful family feel with outstanding service. Customers for life!
Went in today with my man to pick out a custom wedding set! We just had pictures of what we wanted. The amazing women Natalie was our specialist! She took into account my needs because I have a condition that makes my skin sensitive! Our rings are custom made with every detail precisely drawn out by hand in front of us! I am so excited! This family owned business is absolutely fantastic! I will be back in the future for anything I may need!
My fiancé purchased my engagement ring at Barsky in September 2020. We both could not be happier with the ring! It is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen and I have received so many compliments on how sparkly it is. My fiancé said he had an excellent experience shopping with Nate. He was knowledgeable and patient, showing my fiancé a ton of options and explaining the differences. We BOTH stare at the ring every day. We would highly recommend Barsky to anyone shopping for jewelry and we will definitely return!
The team at Barsky helped to make a milestone birthday awesome! I was able to get a custom anklet pair created in time for a bday vacation. My friend absolutely loved it! Nathalie and team you have a forever customer.
Always use them for everything! Great quality. Great customer service.
Barsky Diamonds has been our jeweler for years now. From a custom engagement ring to wedding bands, push presents and now anniversary gifts, my husband and I have trusted them for many years! Not only do they provide gorgeous jewelry, but the amazing level of customer service is something that we have never found elsewhere. We have had such incredible experiences there in the last 6 years and I just can’t recommend them enough. Also, Natalie is five stars alone. She has been such a joy to work with as we designed a recent band together.
We have been customers of Barsky’s for many years and enjoy seeing all the familiar faces. This time however, we met Natalie for the first time and she was the perfect choice for us. She redesigned my wedding band and engagement ring while adding more stones and peekaboos. Six weeks later I have a completely new bridal set and it is stunning!! We have been married for 42 years and to have rubies and diamonds added is a treasured gift from my husband. Natalie, you are the best, I can’t thank you enough. Shout out to our friend Jeff, thanks for connecting us with Natalie!
No pressure to chose/buy, patient, professional, large selection, and if needed, financing is very easy/quick/instant. They stand behind their products for life! Customer for life!
My fianceé and I were shopping for wedding rings on Jewelers Row after having visited numerous stores from the suburbs to the city. We eventually found Barsky Diamonds and decided to check it out. We worked with John who was amazing; personable, calm, well informed and transparent. Everyone was extremely helpful and they offered what is in my opinion the widest variety of rings to choose from. We chose two rings and had them slightly modified. The finished product was absolutely perfect and EXACTLY what we were hoping for. If youre shopping for jewelry I strongly suggest ATLEAST putting them on your list of stores to check out.
I visited Barsky 2 years ago looking for an engagement ring and the Sales Associate (Rick Wool) I met was excellent. He was extremely helpful and patient, and worked with me for weeks to find the perfect ring. Since then it’s been my go to spot for jewelry, repairs, etc. Everyone I’ve dealt with is courteous, helpful and goes above and beyond to deliver great service. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love Barsky Diamonds and their staff. They treat you as if youre their own family. There is no other place Ill ever buy jewelry from!!!
I will never buy another piece of jewelry anywhere else. Nathan Barsky personally delivered, to my house, a birthday present for my wife on a Saturday so she would have it the next day for her birthday. At his busiest time of the year! I didnt ask, he just did it. You can play the Jewelers Row game if you like and maybe, maybe, save a couple of bucks. But the folks at Barskys are real human beings who genuinely care about their clients. Dont bother going anywhere else.
I was looking for diamond stud earrings and came to Barsky after stopping at a few other places along Jewelers Row. Brandy was very helpful in finding me a great pair of studs that were gorgeous and fit my budget. It was a really pleasant transaction and I would recommend Barsky to other people looking for jewelry.
Barsky takes the time to treat you like a king and queen. Absolutely highly recommended. She loved the gorgeous ring.
Had to get my ring resized and Barsky did an excellent job. I didn’t get the rings there but they will still size them for you. Had both my wedding band and engagement ring increased one full size. Both fit perfectly now and looks brand new. Will be back for future purchases here because of great customer service, fair prices, and quick turn around time.
Incredible service all around. I was looking for a unique type of gem stone and tried jewelers all across the tri state area but had no luck. Somehow Natalie was able to find exactly what I was looking for. She is truly great at what she does! I will definitely be doing more business with Barsky in the future.
After looking at multiple locations for an engagement ring, for my now fiancée. I settled on Barsky diamonds, they had the perfect ring and Matthew was extremely helpful in not only my selection but throughout the whole process.I came back again with my fiancée to pick our bands out. We had a vision in mind for my fiancée’s band and Natalie helped us custom make a wedding band. She took our rough sketch of an idea and turned it into a reality and me and my fiancée could not be happier. We will be back for any and all future occasions!
I’ve been going to Barsky’s for nearly 20 years for all my families fine jewelry. I find their staff very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting me to select the perfect piece. Making each trip to Barsky an enjoyable and relaxing experience because I know I can purchase with the confidence that Barsky’s will stand behind each piece they sell.
It was a nice easy going, friendly experience.
The absolute best quality, price and service! They treat you like family!
Nate did a wonderful job and was extremely knowledgeable and honest. He made our experience very delightful. I would highly recommend for all of your jewelry needs.
High level of professionalism, and long standing business on the block. Nothing but quality, first timer and won’t be the last!
The process was so easy and enjoyable and found a beautiful engagement & wedding band set! very happy with experience!
I came with one of my best friends to find an engagement ring for his GF. I did a lot of research on Jewelers Row and Barsky was my number #1 pick to go to. We went to a jeweler across the street (i wont say the name) and he didnt really wanna help us. We went into Barsky and was instantly greeted by Ron Torelli. From there he gave us the most professional, kind, very very well knowledge of what type of ring to get. He even made my friends idea of a custom ring come to life and he was very satisfied. Thank you Ron and also Natalie for the hospitality and making my friends day. Now he cant stop smiling about the ring until he sees the final product. I cant wait till he pops the question
At first, had a very difficult time with the experience. As things were starting to unravel, Nathan Barsky personally stepped in and all of a sudden, it was a complete 180. Not only was I able to purchase the dream ring for my fiancee but Nathan took the time to work with me on my budget and was very engaged with the process. Since our engagement, he has reached out multiple times and really made me and my fiancee feel taken care of. I highly recommend asking for Nathan personally!
First, thank you to Nate Barsky and the rest of the staff at Barsky Diamonds in Philadelphia. They did a great job of helping me understand the diamond buying process and making me feel at home. The day I purchased the ring I actually was only planning to look and collect information. After about an hour with Nate and looking at a few different options I felt like I had the ring that she wanted and that I was getting a great deal. I had a great experience and would highly recommend going to Barsky for any jewelry, especially engagement rings. I will be back for the wedding band!
Mr. & Mrs. Wolf are phenomenal and I will continue to come back for a very long time. They certainly know their diamonds and value their customers.
Great service and great sales staff. They helped me pick out an engagement ring and our wedding bands.
My ring looks aok, but last Friday a rep called me and told me too wait for the ring on Monday. That I has to sign for it. The ring came on Tuesday and I did have to sign for it. Therefore I wasted a full day
Just picked up my wedding ring today from Barksy’s. From the first time I went just to browse their collection to coming back two other times before I finally got the ring, they were amazing!!! Mathew Monaco is an awesome salesperson who was very patient, welcoming, friendly and professional all at the same time. I’m very very pleased with my experience here and will definitely come back if i ever needed to. They have a wide range of collection of men’s wedding rings which is not the case everywhere. I highly highly recommend this place for their services.
I am a third generation buyer of Barsky jewelry. No one better for fine jewelry.
Kind, professional, customer focused
My fiance purchased my engagement ring from Barsky last year. My ring is exactly what I wanted and I often find my self staring at it. I bring it in quarterly for cleaning and I love getting it back with that extra sparkle. Every person who works in the store has been very courteous and professional. They dont mind that I usually have to drop my ring off and come back for it later on. We will likely purchase our wedding bands here as well.
You couldn’t ask for a better ring buying experience! Big personal thank you to Rick and team for all that you do!
I bought my wifes engagement ring from here. I knew nothing about diamonds and I was on a budget. Peter took the time to explain to me the four Cs and tried to stay within my means. I was very happy with my purchase and my now wife wont leave the house without it.
After much research, we decided on starting our engagement ring shopping at Barsky jewelers. They welcomed us in and made us feel very comfortable right from the start. My soon to be fiance had something specific in her head, and it just wasnt coming together. But the staff would not give up. They finally offered to make the ring that she had her heart set on, and they did it without me having to sell my kidneys on the black market. I cant give this place a stronger recommendation. If you are looking for that special something, for that special someone and you dont go to Barsky, you made a big mistake.
Super easy to shop online too as they always have free shipping!The Barsky Diamonds team is the friendliest group of people you will meet on Jewelers Row. They are extremely knowledgeable, never pushy, and will listen to exactly what you have to say before making a recommendation. Highly recommended for engagement rings, unique jewelry, and more.
My boyfriend & I decided to go engagement ring browsing together so he could get an idea of what I would like. Barskys was the first place we went to and Im definitely glad we did! The employee who helped us really listened to what I was interested in seeing in terms of settings and diamonds. He went above and beyond to educate us on the clarity and color ratings, and answer any questions we had about the differences between diamonds. The information he provided helped us narrow down what would work best for us and our price range, helped us speak intelligently with other jewelers we visited on jewelers row, and gave us a sense of loyalty to Barsky. We appreciate their thoroughness and the no pressure environment that they have. I would highly recommend visiting.
This place is absolutely awesome!! It has an old school look and feel since its 150 or so year old company. You can customize rings and have some of the nicest guys in the business. Fred is absolutely the best person to talk diamonds with. He has more certifications than I knew existed with diamonds. He will teach you everything you need to know and will have a fun time doing it!! Highly reccomend going there, youll find your life time Philly Jewler!!
I was at several different jewelry stores while looking for an engagement ring and none of them came close to the level of expertise and customer service I received from the team at Barsky. They made it a one of a kind experience for me and my fiancé. The expertise of the staff and the way that they explained diamond shopping made me affirm that I was getting the highest quality diamond at a great price. I will never go anywhere but Barsky to purchase my jewelry. See you guys for the wedding bands!
I went here to inquire about a ring resizing, and the staff was completely honest with me. I have a delicate setting, so they told me all of the options, but really suggested going back to my original jeweler. They then gave me a temporary plastic resizer so my new ring wouldnt fall off! The two women that helped me out were so nice! Great customer service in the shop!
Nate has always done a good job taking care of me and the staff is good.My wife loves her Sapphire Ring, bracelet and earrings. We designed the ring with Nate and then returned about 10 months later for a matching bracelet and earrings.You can always shop on price and find someone willing to be lower, but I know I am getting a very good price, service and selection when I shop at Barskys. In the end, that is what jewelry shopping is about...the overall experience.Just as a side note, they always clean and polish our jewelry... Including our white gold which always looks new when we leave.
My wife and I have been coming here for years. We purchased her engagement ring here, both of our wedding bands, and evetually upgraded the diamond on her engagement ring also. Weve always been treated incredibly well by their staff. Theyve earned a customer for life.
I love the services that me and my husband always recieved when we come there, the staff spend a great bit of time helping us to decide on all of our purchases. We as customers never been unsatisfied. We will never choose to go anywhere else other than Barskys. Thank Yall Greatly!!!
Im more sentimental than showy about my jewelry, but Barsky allowed me to be both. They transformed a ring that my grandmother gave me as a teenager (gold band with gems making a flower) and turned it into my engagement ring. They took the original stones and turned it into a necklace charm free of charge. Both pieces are beautiful and according to my sister and fiance they were great about everything. The went to another big name jeweler first and that jeweler stated it would be like open heart surgery to change the stones on my ring. Barsky said no problem and Im so glad they did.
Met Nathan and Harold Barksy while shopping for an engagement ring and then later the wedding band. They are by far the nicest and most honest people I have ever met. I was able to get a beautiful engagement ring for a very good price and am in the process of purchasing the wedding bands now. I will never go to another jeweler!Thank you guys for all that you do!
My family has been going to the Barsky family dating all the way back to the store on Germantown Ave. I can always remember as a kid going into the current store on jewelers row and talking with Mr. Barsky; he was always so nice and had great stories. My parents have now brought their grandson (my son) into the store which now marks 5 or 6 generations of our family shopping at Barskys. The quality is without question, they always honor their work and most of all we know we can trust them and that means a lot. Would not shop anywhere else.
Fifteen years ago, my husband was on Jewelers Row to buy my engagement ring. He went into several stores, but no sales staff ever approached him. A Barsky staffer saw this and approached my husband, selling him the most beautiful ring Ive ever seen. Over the years, whenever I was in town I would drop off my ring to be cleaned and have the settings checked- at no cost. Three years ago, I asked my parents to reset the birthstones theyd given me over the years into a ring. Barsky helped us set an amazing ring at a great price. They guided us through the setting so that I came away with a beautiful heirloom piece. Thank you, Barskys!
As a couple that has very little knowledge in the realm of jewelry and diamonds, my fiancé and I were skeptical of the diamond district but decided to check out Barskys after reading such good reviews online. As a family owned jewelry store, we felt that we were not being pressured into our purchase and we loved the craftsmanship of the jewelry. We worked with Jeff, who was wonderful! He took the time to get to know us on a more personal level, and took his time finding us the right ring. The ring was ready within the timeframe promised (for us it was 2 weeks) and the final result was beautiful! We will definitely be back for our wedding bands!
Got a great deal on wedding rings. Friendly staff. Impressive selection, and they can customize anything you want. No pressure and NO BULL!!
Great, personal service, low pressure, knowledgeable and attentive staff
Owner ratings alert. The five stars came from the boss. Please, they charge full retail and then some here. Our consumer club suggests that you call yourself a jewelry dealer and buy for five times less at wholesale. Get a sales tax permit from the state and even have business cards printed. Do your homework online to learn about the business first. Its worth it to spend an hour to save $7,000 or more!
Superior product, outstanding service from everyone. and the piece de resistance..... 4 legged family in the shop. Fabulous.
Custom ring no problem, very easy going. Love this place.
My fiance purchased my engagement ring here, great products, beautiful selection, staff is amazingFor our wedding they molded my ring and made custom wedding bands and eventually soudered them together to make it one ring...I love it ! Great service everytime I take it in for cleaning
Had a great experience here! My fiance was very happy and everyone is very nice! Unlike alot of other on Jewelers Row haha, will definitly recommend!
Great service and prices...they really take time with you to make you comfortable with your purchase.
Owners are top quality individuals, integrity!their design services are great, talented individuals work with you on your dream designs-
Very disappointed how dishonest they were. Found other places close by to be way more courteous and professional. Not to mention way better prices. Be careful of the typical selling tactics they used, as their lyrics were very identical to other skeezy jewelers. I would definitely shop around first.Reviews posted on here are fake, they use a marketing company to post good reviews. Save time and way more money by shopping around.
100% satisfied with my engagement ring purchase. My fiancé loved my decision to purchase from here.
Fair, professional, great value. An amazing experience, this will be the only jewelry store I use to purchase gifts for my wife and daughter.
Friendly and gorgeous jewelry!
Horrible horrible horrible experience. I know for a fact they pay someone to put up good reviews. My diamond fell out three times in the past 6 months. Brand new ring. barely wore it and they told me it was my fault. After time 3, they said they wouldnt fix it. I took the ring to another jeweler in new york who said I way overpaid and the appraisal was wrong. I went in to complain 2 weeks ago and got the now infamous barsky runaround.
Bought our engagement ring here and was satisfied in every way ! Great people to deal with and excellent quality !
I purchased my wifes engagement ring at Barskys. The people I worked with were nice and they helped educate me and provided plenty of options and their prices were fair compared to other big name jewelry companies. My father bought my mothers engagement ring at Barskys as did my brother. I would highly recommend them.
I cant say enough good things about this place. I shopped around for engagement rings, and there are quite a few businesses on jewelers row that employ some shady practices. This is the proverbial diamond in the rough. The best thing about this place is that they honor ALL budgets (and I would know - I wasnt exactly throwing coin around when I first went there). I even asked if I would get more for the stone that I was looking at if I spent a bit more, but the gemologist who took me through their process said flat out I wouldnt get much more. There arent too many businesses that deal with customers on a level basis, and ones that do should be patronized. This is one of those places.
Everything worked out as planned when I placed the order. Quality was better, and the price was better than any local shop around.
I purchased an engagement ring from here a long time ago. My fiance hardly wore it because she was pregnant and the size wasnt right. We wanted to wait until she had our child to be sized. So its hardly been worn in years. They were nice enough to resize it for free. Then not long later a point fell out of the engagement ring. They said the ring look damaged. But it was hardly even worn. Time had past. But they offered to fix it after a little going back and forth with them. They said they wouldnt fix it again. Now maybe 4 years later another different point has fallen out. I dont understand because points shouldnt be falling out like this. I dont think the integrity of the ring is very good. Maybe it was compromised during the resizing. My poor fiance! Now i dont want to go back because they werent very nice about it in the first place.
Im a little confused by some of these reviews. My husband purchased my engagement ring from Barskys 20 years ago. (Ray F was our salesman) in October of 2014 I decided to redesign my rings. Wanted to set my Marquise diamond w/side trillion east to west from its traditional north south setting. Chris did the design. My ring is crazy gorgeous (it was beautiful to start with) it looks like a museum piece. My wedding band (also a Barskys piece) was also re-designed. I have never had a moments trouble with anything purchased from Barskys. Everyone is wonderful & sweet & honest. I love when I have my rings cleaned at jewelers & watch them fall all over how amazing these pieces are.I have two regrets. 1. We live in VA so they are a bit of a drive, but worth it & 2. Ive never been able to talk Mrs. Barsky into letting me have her diamond band that is simply magnificent. Pear shaped diamonds back to front all the way around & of considerable size!! Actually I guess I dont blame her. I dont understand how anyone could go to Barskys on Sansom and not be completely satisfied.
This place is bunch of crooks. Played games n tried to sell me a ring and On topbstart off tgere so rude and old school it made me cringe. Ended up getting 3.5 ct vs there 1ct with 3carats around for 8ct total weight same price of what they wanted for 4 total cts. The owner is joke too ! Do not go
I bought an engagement ring after my buddy recommended Barsky (since he bought his there).Im very happy with the ring, the price, and the overall experience. Nate (Barsky - the owner) was awesome and patiently put up with my ocd. Without getting into all the details - Im an engineer, so I tortured him beyond the 4 Cs, asking for very specific crown/pavilion angles, table size, etc etc. He had to scour his suppliers until he found a stone that matched exactly what I wanted, and he purchased it without committing me to buy it before seeing it. He was very accommodating and also flexible with the price. I never take the time to write reviews - but here I really felt compelled.Additional learnings:- Unless youre rich, stick with color I; it still looks white and saves you $1-$2K, vs H/G. Put that money towards bigger size and GIA excellent cut - thats the real wow factor- Dont bother with big stores at the mall (their markup was ~30% or higher)- Check online sellers to get an idea for the bottom price range. Buying online though isnt a slam-dunk. Some things you dont notice in pics / 360 view - until you look at the stone in person; e.g. whether it looks milky bc of clouds; or if it has a brownish tint (no idea why GIA doesnt note that in certificates). To me, being able to see and buy in-person was worth the small premium
Always great service and they remember my face.
Great place to buy jewelry
This place is number 1. Made a custom ring with family jewels then sized it for free. Ill never go to a different jeweler
