Testimonials

Karen, I received the rings and the bracelet today! I am blown away by how beautiful they are! Those minor jewels look important and fantastic. I cannot wait to wear them and show off my lovely new things. I probably do not have anything to wear that is suitable. That means I have to come to Boston and have (my niece) take me shopping. This is getting costly. The rings will be such fun to wear singly or in different combinations. They are really quite spectacular. Who knew one failed marriage and one widowhood could end so well? And I love the bracelet. I was not so sure about that, but it is perfect for me and so very wearable and comfortable. The stones you added are beautiful, and I like the wide links. I think that I have been too conservative about my jewelry in the past. All of my stuff now is going to look minor and a bit insignificant. You do beautiful work and have great ideas. I marvel that you can take small bits and pieces and create something important looking and different. I am well pleased. Thank you!

I've been a customer of H&F for 15+ years. Karen always seems to have what I need for a gift. She designed earrings for my daughter's wedding presents for the bridesmaids, and once, I bought a set of opal earrings right from her ears. She, Steve and Shelley are always tremendously helpful and become much more like part of the family than mere purveyors of fine jewelry.

I am absolutely thrilled with both of my rings (and the bracelet, too!) and couldn't be happier with them. I've gotten so many compliments on the redesigned ring. On the day of the wedding...the reverend looked down and said "I don't think all that hardware is going to fit on one finger!" :-) Thankfully with my long fingers, it fit just beautifully, especially given the short amount of time you had to get it done. I'll absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a top-notch jeweler and hope I'll be back to see you again in the future, that moonstone ring is still invading my dreams!

I love this store! Many shops offer fine jewelry but when I want something unique I steer my husband to Harper and Faye. Every piece is created with love .... and it shows.

I have been a Harper & Faye customer for many years, and expect to be one for life. I have several pieces that Karen has designed just for me and love every one of them. I've even started carrying a few Harper & Faye cards in my purse, because strangers come up and ask me, 'Where did you get that fabulous piece?'

I have been meaning to email for a couple of weeks now to say what an outstanding job you did with my ring! I absolutely LOVE IT! He ended up giving it to me a little earlier than expected and I cannot tell you how shocked I was to receive it...thank you so much again for making such a beautiful ring!

Hi Karen, The pearls are gorgeous (and the necklace is the perfect length, by the way)! When R. emailed the photo, I never anticipated owning them. Wearing them still seems like a dream. Thanks so much……..and please thank Steve for me. I hear he rushed to the post office with the package. All my best,

This is E, A's new (!) fiancee. He passed along your email so I could thank you for your amazing work on the ring you created for me. I can't believe all the thought and effort that went into it, or what a perfect design you came up with. It's stunning, but also fits me so well, literally and figuratively. I've never seen any ring I love as much as this one! WOW.

The Mermaid (necklace) was a total success. I was just at a party last Saturday, and five or six women came up to me to comment (by the way I wore those boulder opal earrings with it, and I think the effect was quite lovely). I told every one of them the story, and told them about you and Harper &Faye. I think people really respond to the artistry, it is both unusual and luxurious (and you know those things don't always go together). I think it really intrigues people because at first glance it looks "interesting", but at second glance the amazing quality and the caliber of the design and materials and the craft sink in. Every time I wear it, it is commented upon. I really enjoy wearing it, as it suits me and my wardrobe :) I don't live a glamorous life of galas and benefits, my special occasions are usually family affairs, dinners with friends, and small parties; and the Mermaid is completely appropriate- it is beautiful, festive and unique. In general, I've also been wearing my jewelry more, especially the pendants- again, they always excite comment, which is good. They are beautiful but not intimidating, if you know what I mean. Thank you again for such a glorious design. It is a thrill for me to wear it. Best wishes for the New Year!

Karen, to say that the ring went over well would be a massive understatement! Thank you.

Greetings Karen. Yes, I am enjoying my (sparkling new) ring very much and I’m very satisfied! You’ll be pleased to know I’m wearing it a lot. Thanks for checking in and I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer. Best wishes...

I stopped into your boutique to have my watch strap replaced today. I was so impressed with your customer service. It's nice to see a modern store that still hold old fashioned values dear. I look forward to coming back and hope you have a wonderful summer.
