What a wonderful experience shopping at Marchi jewelry. After doing extensive research, Marchi was on the top of my list to visit. I really appreciated the relaxed no pressure sales experience. I had an idea of what I wanted. John was able to answer my questions and point me in the right direction. I look forward to returning for my future jewelry purchases and will remember treats for Moses.

My wife and I bought out wedding rings here about 2 years ago and couldn't be happier - he had the best pricing, best personality, and best experience. Something about him was different compared to the other people in Philly, and I would suggest him to anyone. (He also played awesome jazz softly and had a sweet old dog! I hope the dog is doing great). I'll always remember his advice on rings - as context I was debating between different widths (I have large hands and the fingers of a bear). I was torn between two styles- every other jeweler pushed me towards the thicker/larger and more expensive

John is a great guy. Every time I see him he makes me feel like I'm family. I never walk away feeling I didn't get the best deal that I could.
