The full ring shopping experience without frills or exorbitant cost! I recently proposed to my partner of almost 10 years and Michael and co were absolutely spectacular throughout the process of selecting and purchasing a very special ring. Firstly all the staff did the basics right: timely, friendly and direct communication over the phone and email.
I never worried that I would get lost in the shuffle and it's clear they value all of their customers, no matter the price-range. Speaking of price range: I was completely up front about my expectations and Micheal returned that courtesy. He was forthcoming and direct throughout the process and clearly believes in the work he and his family do-- producing beautiful custom jewelry with none of the pretension or snobbery.
This is proven by the fact that they can source lab-grown diamonds to be used in any of the settings in the store. You won't necessarily find this option at some of the more traditional places on Jeweler's Row. Completely recommended! We'll be back for our wedding bands this year.

Talk about good fortune. My wife to be and I were in the jewelry district in Philly looking for a Bangle Bracelet. But, I must add I was also interested in finding the right engagement ring for my wife to be. We had been to Tiffany's and Cartier searching for that "Right" ring. Of course they had tempting product. I was willing to pay a pretty penny to make my bride to be happy.
To be honest I was skeptical about shopping in Jeweler's Row. For the hell of it, we went down town anyway. We stopped into several stores really unimpressed. Well, we were headed back to my car when we were passing a rather unassuming, rather small shop and decided to just stop in for the hell of it to see what they might have to offer. Call it Serendipity.
Call it Fate. Call it, "It was meant to be". Call it what ever you want. This WAS A STROKE OF GOOD LUCK! We met Michael Wexler (Desumma &Wexler). We made an inquiry about Engagement rings and he led us on a journey of discovery. It was very educational. He showed us product that captured our interest. I began to realize that the "Big Name" stores placed a price on their NAMES! Michael showed me how I could obtain more than I dreamed of for far less than I was willing to pay.
He beckoned us to come back and he promised we would not be sorry. Well, we did. Michael made it happen. I bought THE MOST BEAUTIFUL stone I had seen to date. And for FAR less than I thought I would have to spend! My, now, fiance and I could not be more satisfied nor happier! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Michael. It was the first day of the rest of our lives and it could not have gotten off on a better start!

Michael was exceptional from start to finish for the engagement ring purchase process. My Fiance and I could not be happier with how the custom engagement ring turned out. The radiant cut diamond is flawless and the price was absolutely reasonable. Michael gladly answered all questions during every step of the process. I would recommend Desumma and Wexler to everyone who is looking for their perfect engagement ring. Thank you!

I purchased an engagement ring for my partner here last fall, and was deeply impressed by the quality of service I received throughout the whole process. Michael worked with me for months to create a custom design for the ring, and he successfully delivered on all my wildest requests. We're both so happy with how it turned out, and we'll definitely be returning to DeSumma and Wexler for future fine jewelry needs.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience buying a custom engagement ring. Every encounter is thoughtful and they make you feel like family. Huge supporter of these guys and would not hesitate to refer close family and friends. Great communication, fair pricing, and complete transparency throughout the entire process. Finished result was outstanding.

AMAZING! My father has bought my mom countless and beautiful pieces such as anniversary rings (custom) and other pieces of jewelry. and my parents have bought my sisters and I beautiful diamond earrings. As of recent, my fiance and I just bought weddings bands. Mr. Desumma & team custom made such a gorgeous ring for my engagement ring. It is flawless and absolutely beautiful.
They also custom made my fiance's ring and it is just so beautiful. Pictures to come after the wedding day. Go to them for ANY AND ALL! They have the best prices and are such a great team to work with.

Ronnie did such a great job. The excellent customer service he provided was only topped by the beautiful ring that he made. I walked into the D&W early in May with a picture of a ring my girlfriend liked and he created exactly the same setting and design. I would recommend Ronnie and his team to anyone looking for a great experience and design perfection.

Where do I begin.well I'll start at the beginning I got a gorgeous ring from Zales, but they broke it while sizing, then my second ring, sized wrong and my third ring had so many inclusions and flaws in my black diamond, that I was really upset. I know black diamonds come with inclusions but I didn't want my diamond to have 3 white marks right on the top.
So I decided me and my fiance would call De Summa & Wexler, because they had wonderful reviews. Michael answered the phone, and he let me explain what I had gone through with Zales. He listened. He told me he would pick out some black diamonds so I could come down and look at them. As soon as my fiance and I got there, we were kindly greeted by Michael.
He looked at my ring, understood why I was upset, and said he could help us. He brought out a gorgeous black diamond for me to look at, and guess what. no inclusions on the diamond to the naked eye. No white spots, no chips, no markings, just a gorgeous black diamond. It was perfect. He said that would be the exact diamond in my ring, if I wanted it.
I did! My fiance and I were treated with respect and kindness. Michael is a professional. He didn't insult us, or my first ring, instead his only concern was making sure I was happy. I picked up my beautiful ring today and it's absolutely perfect. No flaws. The quality of the jewelry here is impeccable. But Michael sealed the deal for us, he knew what we were looking for, and he created that. Perfect experience. Thank you so much Michael and De Summa & Wexler for making my gorgeous engagement ring!

My Fiance and I were walking around Jeweler's row in Philly when we walked into Desumma & Wexler. I am so glad we did because they have now created multiple pieces of jewelry for us. I shopped around A LOT and this was the first place that truly took their time with us to get me exactly what I was looking for. I would highly highly recommend them to anyone who wants to work with amazing people. Michael sent our rings back to California for us and I couldn't be happier. Michael and his team are what you call good honest people.
I will be working with them even from across the country. Go to Desumma and Wexler for all your jewelry needs. I am not the type of people who writes a review but these individuals are worth it! Thank you!

I can't even begin to properly put into words how amazing our experience was with DeSumma & Wexler. My fiance met with this team quite a few times in the process of designing my gorgeous engagement ring (all while referring to these meetings as "soccer games" ). Mike has been so helpful and beyond exceeded our expectations of the perfect ring! I can't be more thankful for this experience. If you're shopping for that special ring - look no further than the DeSumma & Wexler dream team.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. My fiance and I went to every store on jewelers row. This was the ONLY place that was not pushy and actually listened to what I wanted. Michael brought out this final ring and I was floored. After some back and forth with my fiance, the two of them created the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. This is the only jewelry store I will be shopping at from now on. Desumma and Wexler Jewelers, thank you for making our hearts happy!

I get a good feeling every time I am here. Michael and the team at Desumma are organized, compassionate, and fast! My fiance and I had a wonderful experience during our engagement process and now we are shopping for wedding bands! I would refer anyone to come here- p.s. the attention to detail in their jewelry is beautiful.

After Michael read my review the first time that I posted it, he contacted me to reimburse me for the rhodium he charged me on my engagement ring, since I was an unhappy shopper. Even after I told him and his partner, that I had my ring made by them, they both charged me for the rhodium, to my ring and wedding band. I was reimbursed the $35 for my engagement ring and told only the first time was no charge. Mike would not reimburse me for the ring that I bought elsewhere, though the place that I bought the wedding ring from, was nice enough to rhodium my engagement ring along with my wedding band. I will continue to get a free lifetime of rhodium at the other store. Thanks anyway guys.

Fifteen years ago my husband and I selected my engagement ring from Desumma & Wexler. It was the first and last stop we made on Jeweler's Row that day. We believed we made the right choice then. This past Saturday we came in for a minor repair on said ring, and they did not disappoint. Fixed, cleaned and polished my ring while we waited. Marvelous professionals and it only reinforced our high opinion of this jeweler. Check the others out if you must, but go here for quality and service. Thank you, D&W!

Bill Wexler helped my fiance and I design a custom wedding band for my antique engagement ring, and I could not have been happier with the result! He was extremely knowledgeable, straightforward and made sure that I was happy with the end result. Our wedding bands came out beautifully, and I am so glad we went to DeSumma & Wexler!

We loved working with Michael! We braced ourselves for a stressful time finding a jeweler to work with and the right ring for our engagement, but Michael helped make it an enjoyable and special time. We loved the service, the price, and the work. It turned out so nice that strangers regularly compliment the ring. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went here to look for my engagement ring after numerous friends recommended it. From day 1, Mike and all the staff have been wonderful and so helpful! From cleaning to re-sizing, they are so accommodating. We continue to recommend them to family and friends, most recently my brother who had an equally great experience. He was overwhelmed prior to looking but Mike helped him narrow it down to the perfect ring!

I have purchased an engagement ring and now wedding bands from Desumma & Wexler. Have nothing but good things to say about the company and the staff. Incredibly helpful during the engagement ring process and my fiancee gets nothing but compliments on the unique design of her ring and clarity of her diamond. I recently purchased our wedding bands and again, had a wonderful experience. Desumma & Wexler understand the value of customer service and are in business to earn lifelong customers.
They do this by working within your budget, providing endless amounts of customization to tailor your piece to your specific needs, and providing timely turnaround on their work. These guys provide a refreshing buying experience and I couldn't recommend enough. Just go there.

Felt comfortable the entire time. Worked with me on everything from diamond selection to cut clarity color size to finally setting. After the dust settled I was truly glad to work with them in stead of some of the others on the street. Most importantly my girl went back and had her ring re-sized for free. Much appreciated.

My husband and I really like this place. The jewelers here are not pushy and are really interested in gaining clients and repeat business. We got our wedding bands here, and have returned once again to have some pieces altered and repurposed. They're definitely our "family jeweler" now thanks to their honest professionalism and dedication to their craft.
