Marisa Perry Atelier

This place has gorgeous jewelry and a staff that "bends over backwards to please" to quote my fiance! My diamond studs and my engagement ring came from here. We love my ring and earrings and I get complements galore! The atmosphere of this enchanting boutique is friendly, elegant, intimate and boudoir ish all at the same time! But the true star is the jewelry supported by a caring staff that makes it all happen!

Transparent. Trustworthy. Caring. Marisa's sweet personality set me at ease while shopping for my engagement ring 2 years ago. I ended up with the ring of my dreams & have not had a single problem with it. My husband & I went to 2 other jewelers before finding Marisa Perry. The other places were so cold, stressful, & made me feel like they were just talking me up to make a sale. It was the complete opposite at Marisa Perry.

I went in there thinking I knew exactly what I wanted & Marisa was so sweet & patient with me as I tried on rings. I loved how honest she was - I was set on a princess cut & she could have easily sold me one, but she cared enough to inform me of the risk you take with having such sharp, delicate corners. I specifically remember her saying a statement with the words, "that sale would be great for me, but, if you were my daughter, I'd tell you to..." I could tell she really meant it. Marisa took the care to really hear me when I described what I wanted & brought the perfect ring to me that I might have missed. I remember her saying, " I have an idea.. let me just try this ring on you.." - she slipped it on my finger & I just cried. It was like a fairytale moment & I knew it was the ring for me.

Marisa went above & beyond to help us out. I remember how hesitant Steven was when I told him I wanted to look at an engagement ring boutique in SoHo, thinking there was no way we could afford something like that on our fresh out of college budgets. Not only did she make a way for my dream ring to fit with his wallet, she went shopping on Long Island for things that she knew we needed for the wedding that she could get for cheaper out there! Our ring shopping experience was just the start of a beautiful friendship that I'm just so thankful for. You'd be silly to not get your ring here.

It is difficult for me to put into words how pleased I am with my Marisa Perry experience.

The personalized attention, respect, and service I received was unparalleled. I'm no fool: I was looking for an extremely simple ring that met my modest tastes and means. I was often in the shop at the same time as people looking for four-carat rings or two-carat diamond studs for earrings. However, despite being a far less lucrative client for Douglas and Marisa, I was never treated as anything other than a valued client. This meant so much to me, as this was the single largest and most important purchase of my life.

Marisa, Douglas, and Bob worked with me to design precisely the type of ring I wanted, and their craftsmanship was impeccable. The final product exceeded even the ideal picture of a ring that I had built in my mind. I couldn't believe it.

I would recommend Marisa Perry to anyone regardless of income. Any friend I have who is in the market for rings, I tell them right away to get over to Douglas's shop.

Marisa Perry made the most special day of my life even more special. I can't give higher praise than that.

Marisa and Douglas make an exceptional team, and in return, the customer gets a high level of personalized service and a high quality, often customized, finished product. The relationship started with engagement ring shopping. My fiancé was intrigued by their unparalleled micro-pave work. While I had a good idea of what my fiancé was looking for in a ring, I visited a number of jewelry stores – Harry Winston, Tiffany’s, Cartier, Van Cleff & Arples, Kwiat, among others. After all, this was one of the more costly purchases of my life, and definitely the most meaningful one, so I was determined to get it “right”. Marisa and Douglas set themselves apart on a number of levels – (1) custom nature: I liked being able to pick the loose diamond that would be set. Looking at pre-set diamonds was not the same. Douglas brought in about 10 - 15 loose stones within certain parameters that allowed me to assess the trade-offs between carat weight, cut, color and clarity – we narrowed it down over time and found the stone that exhibited the features that I valued most; (2) patience: the team at Marisa Perry worked many hours to earn my trust and the sale – they taught me some of the nuances of diamond industry and demonstrated a sincere eagerness to deliver a high quality product that would leave my fiancé elated; (3) value: after comparative shopping, I’m convinced that I could not have gotten a better value (high quality for the price); (4) ring setting: my fiancé wanted a specific type of diamond, but the setting was of equal importance. The Larisa setting is unique because it allows the wedding band(s) to fit flush against the engagement ring. For instance, the comparable setting at Harry Winston does not allow for this fit, which leaves space between the engagement ring and wedding band; and (5) boutique feel: the experience was more than a simple business transaction. Marisa, Douglas, Bob, Roberto and others have went out of their way to make sure that I am a satisfied customer.

In addition to the engagement ring, I have since purchased our wedding bands which were also customized and engraved. Furthermore, I purchased a custom set of diamond earrings that match the design of my wife’s engagement ring. When my wife and I returned from our honeymoon, Marisa Perry set some loose pearls in a pair of earrings and a necklace. In short, they can do it all, and they turned a single sale into a lifelong customer relationship. Their quality is very comparable (or better) to top notch, well known stores, and their service is awesome – highly personal and professional. I highly recommend that you visit their boutique store or their website and see what they can offer.

I have to say their service is kind of slow and they are really not sure what they do there. When answering your questions they hesitate and are not sure if they should lie or not lie to you. I don't recommend them. The merchandise is also overpriced. I have to tell everybody on Facebook about this. And they really got on my nerves when I found out my ring was not even polished and shiny when I got home. What a rip off.... Spent $1K and they didn't even polish the ring. There are many other stores around so...Look around.
