Heather was so nice and friendly! My rings were brought in to be resized. She was so pleasant and the rings were ready early! Thank you!

We went in, at 10 am on Christmas Eve to see if, by any chance, they could custom add a stone to a ring my son had gotten for his girlfriend. David Ernster did it on the spot and my son was thrilled. They also, repaired a necklace for us at the same time. We were out in less than 45 minutes, having spent less than a $100 for all they did. The service they provide is beyond exceptional and the quality of the work they do and jewelry they sell is superb. If you're not nearby, they are worth the drive!

My husband had a ring made for me to compliment my engagement ring. I was disappointed in how it looked but the jeweler who crafted it (not a Harrington's employee) said he could not make it look less chunky. I put the ring away and chalked it up as a loss. Recently I took my engagement ring to Harrington's to have prongs inspected. I took the ring I had not worn to ask about re-doing it so it would actually compliment my engagement ring. Dave Lantz listened, asked questions, and while I thought we would have to start from scratch, Dave said he thought they could "fix" my ring.

He and his talented jeweler Dave came up with a redesign that is a dream. It cost 1/2 as much as a brand new creation would have cost and I am thrilled and grateful for their work.

I would not recommend this jeweler. They failed us multiple times. In May, my fiance took me to MJ Harrington Jewelers, and we found the engagement band and wedding set we wanted. Brooke, our initial salesperson, failed to return calls with updates. Two weeks later, we returned to the store and learned that Brooke had ordered the wrong engagement setting. David, the owner, took over and tried to rectify the situation.

We expressed our frustration with the terrible service. David apologized several times and told us he would be taking over the processing of our order. For the first two weeks, he kept open communication with my fiance, promising that it would be ready for our engagement day (June 24th). The afternoon before our engagement proposal, my fiance called David for pick up time of the rings.

My fiance learned the engagement ring had not arrived, and David was embarrassed. The morning of our engagement proposal David allowed us to leave with the wedding band and a temporary low end setting for my stone. He said he would keep my fiance updated with any new information, which he did NOT do. Again, my fiance was the one calling for any updates.

Two months later, David said the rings would be shipped and in his store by August 16th. On August 16th, we still did not have the ring. I called to inform David that we were not going to need his services anymore. And again, he said he would be able to have a ring by next week. I am no longer interested in anything he has to offer.

My family has been doing business with MJ Harrington's for four generations. We have all purchased existing jewelry they had and have had custom pieces made. My husband and I were stationed overseas. I needed repairs done. MJ Harrington's repaired my jewelry and safely returned it to me in Germany. I cannot say enough about the time they take with all of us, the incredible customer service, and high-end treatment. David and his staff will always take the time for you when you visit the store.

They have been wonderful getting appraisals done for us. They are always willing to check, clean and repair my jewelry whenever I walk in the door. My son in law designed my daughters engagement ring with David. David was so easy for him to work with. There was NO pressure to purchase more than he could afford. MJ Harrington's stands behind every purchase you make from them.

They have bent over backwards for us. This is the ONLY jeweler that we will do business with. You cannot beat the customer service, integrity and honesty. Try them, I promise you'll love them! They are dog friendly, too!

I would avoid these incompetent jewelers, we had taken are ring for repair. The ring was 18k! The jeweler deeply and very poorly gouged 14k into the the ring. I had the ring tested again by a competent jeweler and the ring is absolutely 18k gold, just as the certificate Authenticity reads, what a disappointing experience with M J Harrington. I would not take any jewelry of value or anything you care about to these careless jewelers. I can't believe how long we had to wait for are ring and the terrible job they did

Great professional service. They take the time to help you find the ring that you want. Not pushy at all. Will definitely come back for more.

Dave has been taking care of my family for decades and I can't say enough about how incredible they treat you as a person and as a customer. It's truly special to have somewhere you can really trust with something so important. I had a completely custom family ring created for my brother and I that will be in our family for generations to come and I'm proud to know it came from MJ's.

I ordered a lake sunapee pendant and a loon pendant. I am floored by the quality and workmanship! I can't believe the price and quality. I can't believe the gift wrapping! So beautiful! My wife loved it! The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Thank you!

I took a very old engagement ring to be cleaned and make sure it was sturdy enough to be worn again. It needed some repairs. Took about 3 weeks, but I was told that to start so that was ok. The ring looked beautiful when I got it back. Almost like a different ring. It had always been so dirty that I thought it was dark colored between the stones!

I thought long and hard before taking a white gold aquamarine with diamonds on each side. I turned it over to Harrington's with the agreement that they would sell it with their estate jewelry. When I visited a few weeks later, it wasn't even in je

We had an amazing experience with David and the whole staff at M.J. Harrington. My husband and I worked closely with David to upgrade my wedding ring using 18k gold from a bracelet passed down from my Great Grandmother. We live over 1.5 hours away from the store so they were very efficient in getting each step accomplished before we returned for our next appointment. David shared a video with us of the metal being melted down and the next time we went to the store he had a large assortment of diamonds available for us to choose from for the ring.

Each time we went in there we brought our two young children and the employees were so helpful and attentive to them. They got our kids popsicles and read stories to them so that we could focus our attention. The experience we had working with M.J Harrington was so personal and special to us, they have earned another loyal customer.

Great experience! Had my wedding ring forged from a family heirloom ring. They walked me through a number of style options for a man's ring, helped me pick a look that was a combination of a couple I saw there, and had the old ring made into the new one. Even did a free final resizing. Ring is terrific! Service was prompt and courteous! Thank you!

I ordered a new watch band a few weeks ago. I picked up the new watch band today. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The staff member helping me was very helpful. She installed the new watch band and made adjustments to the new watch band to ensure my watch fit perfectly. I appreciated her professionalism and attention to detail.

First time customer and not impressed. They never provided me a time frame for when my jewelry should arrive nor did they inform me when it had arrived. I had to keep calling them rather than the business notifying me. The first employee I spoke with sounded like she hated her job and customers, however, thankfully the second lady was polite and helpful but again I had to call and track down my order.

Great quality work and they will do anything to keep your business. I have had many pieces of jewelry fixed here and they come out perfectly and the customer service is wonderful. I know they stand by their work and told me that if I had any problems that I shouldn't hesitate to return which made me very confident about the quality of their work. Love this place so much and I tell everyone to come here!

I have taken several items to the goldsmiths here for repairs. It's always done promptly at a very high level of quality and fair price! They are also very friendly and helpful at helping you choose the right piece for the right moment!
