We bought our wedding rings at Von Bargens in Burlington this year, and it was an extremely pleasant experience, especially compared to considering options at the U Mall. Gary was super helpful and we were able to design custom rings with our pretty modest budget.

My first experience at Von Bargens was amazing. I went here to have my grandmothers rings melted down to make a new wedding band and Melanie was very knowledgeable, went out of her way to be accommodating, and made it a painless experience. Repurposing old family jewelry was way more affordable than I would have ever imagined and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to do the same. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Charlotte Volk is one of a kind! Fluent in gemology and she provided us with fair and thoughtful advice during our time with her. It feels very nice to be advised versus being sold. She had a great personality and made our time at Von Bargens very memorable. We would recommend the shop to anyone looking for a top-shelf experience. Charlotte is a consummate professional and the diamonds and jewelry are of unrivaled quality.

This is a good story so you should read why I gave it a 5 star.I was TDY in the military I asked my GF at the time to take a look with a friend at rings around Burlington, VT to see what she was interested in If I proposed yes I know that was a lead on.She went to many places and we talked about all the different style/sizes/.... and more. She mentioned a couple of other places but I liked Von Bargons because of the relaxed atmosphere, they worked with my price line & provided me a complimentary beer while talking to them! btw it was a Switchback, I talked with a very knowledgeable employee there.Our conversation consisted of a budget, center diamond and style. From there we discussed the setting. I had plenty of time to decided. I did get a friendly reminder every month about my decision, which was nice because I wanted to pay outright and not finance the ring. At the time I didnt have $5k+ to pull out. We were still saving for a down payment on the house.My experience was very inviting but understand when you look for a ring at Von Bargons they know their job & will work with you.Not to give away all the secrets but they gave me $ towards her wedding band which I plan to purchase from them.

My experience working with Gary at Von Bargens was exceptional. He sought out the best quality diamond to fit my budget and the price was competitive with other retailers (including online). It was nice to work with someone I trusted for such a big purchase. And, my fiance loves her ring! We will be back for our wedding bands.

We couldnt have asked for a better experience making the biggest purchases in our lives to date, than the one we had with Ali and Dawn at the Burlington Von Bargens Store. Ali helped my husband find the most beautiful unique Todd Reed engagement ring. Dawn was beyond patient with the two of us as we took our sweet time (months) choosing our wedding bands. Their customer service is personable, timely and attentive. We recommend this store to anyone and everyone!

Working with Ali at Von Bargens was a great experience. From start to finish she was amazing in searching for and finding exactly what I was looking for in an engagement ring. I couldnt be happier with my purchase and wouldnt have been able to get this kind of customer service and quality elsewhere! I highly recommend both Ali and Von Bargens

I am very impressed by the employees at Von Bargens! My now 10 year old daughter and I venture into the store whenever on Church Street just for fun. Gary & Ali have exceptional customer service and always make us excited to go back. Their jewelry is beautiful...I highly recommend you stop in for a peak!

When shopping for an engagement ring I was very focused on finding someone I enjoyed working with. Von Bargens was the first place I stopped in, met Dawn, and stopped looking elsewhere. There was no pressure throughout the process and Dawn was patient, very attentive, and gave great advise. When we went back to pick wedding bands we had an equally enjoyable experience and Dawn made sure we found the right options for both of us. I can say confidently that the staff, quality, service and experience through Von Bargens is best in class and I would highly recommend working with Dawn and the rest of the Von Bargens staff.

My husband and I got our wedding bands from Von Bargens. Gary helped us design exactly what we wanted within our modest budget and a tight time frame. He was really patient and kind and made the entire experience a pleasure. We will definitely be back!

I have worked closely with Dawn over the past year, updating some old jewelry and commissioning some new pieces. The level of commitment and attention to detail that I have experienced at Von Bargens is unparalleled. My pieces are beautiful and Dawn has somehow both listened closely to my own tastes and hopes and added her own exquisite taste to help create pieces I will wear for years to come.

I love everything about Von Bargens! The entire staff is welcoming, patient and fun to work with. It is always a great experience; whether I am going in with the intention of buying something new, creating a repurposed piece or just to try on the gorgeous jewels much like I used to do when I was a little girl playing with my moms jewelry. At Von Bargens I can stay within my budget while learning about stones, metal and designers. Ali has become my friend and my go-to-gal, but everyone is great and we are all bonded by our passion for jewelry which is really fun!

The positive environment, professionalism, and quality of product at Von Bargens is above and beyond that of any other shop in the area. Every employee has been so warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Especially Dawn, Ali, Gary, and Melanie who made this process of getting the perfect engagement ring, and wedding bands so pleasant and successful.

I have been shopping at Von Bargens for almost 20 years. They re-made my mother-in-laws engagement ring for me, created my wedding band, and have helped me and my husband find quite a few pieces since then, from a small tourmaline pendant, on up to fabulous diamond earrings and a John Von Bargen diamond pendant. Regardless of what you are looking for, in what price range, Phillip and his staff treat everyone like the one and only customer in the world. And if they dont have exactly what you are looking for, they will make it! I love shopping at Von Bargens and would recommend it to everyone.

I so enjoy working with Allison Ailor. She loves beautiful jewelry, is extremely knowledgeable, and clearly loves what she does. The last time we bought a piece, she was as genuinely excited about it as we were! The wonderful selection combined with Allisons enthusiastic and personalized approach make shopping at Von Bargens an exceptional experience.

I absolutely loved Von Bargens. I worked specifically with Allison who was just amazing. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. I never got the feeling that she just simply wanted to sell something. She genuinely wanted me to find just what I was looking for and she made that happen. The ring I chose is stunning. The diamonds are the best quality I have ever seen. I went to several different places but I knew Von Bargens was the best. I got every pennys worth in the ring I selected. Could not of been happier with my choice. Thank you Allison and Von Bargens.

Allison Ailor was extremely helpful in helping find the perfect engagement ring as well as our wedding bands. Gary Barrows was also very helpful in assisting with the process. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Allison and her team to anyone!

My fiance loved the engagement ring that I bought her at Von Bargens. And all her friends loved it too! The high quality is apparent each time we look at the diamonds dazzling sparkle. The mounting was made at Von Bargens. Jasons help was invaluable, as he really understands how to help guys like me, especially in educating on what makes a diamond perform!

Fantastic. Warm and welcoming. Pleasant knowledgeable staff. A favorite place in Vermont

Hello,I’m not one to post many reviews, but this experience really warrants one.In February, my now fiancé and I went into Von Bargen’s on Church Street (Burlington) to check out their engagement ring selection. Neither of us had been in there, but they’ve been in business quite some time and we’d heard good things.That day, we had the pleasure of working with Ali D. (manager) and what a positive experience! Ali spent a lot of time with us as I had fun trying on different rings, everything from the classic solitaire types to many very unique pieces. It was hard to make a decision. Ali then introduced us to the most beautiful ring I think I’ve ever seen and somehow, it was also within our budget!We started planning. Ali explained this ring would be designed by Mark Patterson and that some customizations could be made. She asked me about what type of diamond we would like them to find for the main stone, rather than just having to pick from their current inventory. This was a very informative process and pretty cool to be able to choose amongst limitless options!Once all of the ring specifications/personalizations were set, we placed an order and sometime in March, the ring was finished. Ali communicated about the arrival with my fiancé, so I’d be surprised. (By the way, I had emailed Ali a few questions before the ring came in and she emailed me right back.)Even though, I’d seen a ring like the one we ordered in the store, it couldn’t prepare us for the beauty that resided in that pretty, little jewelry box. This ring is absolutely spectacular!! Think vintage-style meets modern artistry. It’s elegant, yet very solid and the setting is so one-of-a kind. I think if I add up all the minutes spent just staring at it, in the first 24-hrs, it comes out to be between 2-3 hours.Ali and Mark Patterson made sure every detail for this ring was perfect! The main diamond was exactly what I’d hoped for. Honestly, I’ve never seen a more beautiful ring. I didn’t realize I had a “dream ring,” until I saw this breathtaking piece of art! I’m so glad Ali (without being at all pushy) read me so well and seemed to know my taste better than I did at that moment. She was also very personable and attentive.Buying an engagement ring can be stressful, but Ali made the process so seamless from start to finish.We couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you Von Bargen’s of Burlington, Ali D., (store manager), and (designer), Mark Patterson!L💍VE this ring!

Allison Ailor and the Burlington, VT Von Bargens team have been extremely helpful over the years. Allison has single-handedly helped pick out multiple gifts and an engagement ring for my now wife. You can trust the quality of product and knowledge of staff at Von Bargens!

I visited a few places, and when I walked in Von Bargens I knew I was in the right place. Dawn walked me through the entire process and helped me over many weeks pick out the perfect ring.

I fell in love with the store as soon I walked in and knew I would choose Van Bargens to design my engagement ring. Dawn was fabulous throughout the entire process and I am 100% happy with my ring.

Excellent team that I trust to get me the best product at the best price but the service and attention to detail is why I keep coming back.
