We had an AMAZING experience getting a custom engagement ring and wedding rings at Von Bargen’s in Hanover. Kelcie is the absolute BEST! She helped us make our rings unique and beautiful, and was a pleasure to work with - both from afar during the pandemic, and when we came to visit in person. I could not recommend Von Bargen’s more highly - the customer service is impeccable, the jewelry is artisan and special. My mom also got a ring there and loved her experience. Go to Von Bargen’s - you won’t be disappointed!!! Thank you again Kelcie!

I recently brought in a family heirloom - an antique ring passed down from my grandmother, that had lost a stone and had worn down prongs. I was nervous by fixing it, it would never look the same. The Von Bargens team expertly fixed it so it looks absolutely perfect. You would never know. I would trust them to handle any complex restoration and of course they also have beautiful new jewelry. Highly recommend!

We love Von Bargen’s Jewelry! I went to get my engagement ring reset and they were so helpful in designing a custom setting. They are very dedicated to helping clients get exactly what they want. Amazing selection of jewelry/designers that you can’t find at your standard shop. Clearly very thoughtfully curated! This is our go to place for any occasion.

Von Bargens is my favorite jewelry store! I go to Von Bargens frequently to buy exceptionally lovely presents and to augment my own jewelry collection. The Von Bargens collection is a carefully curated, very unique and gorgeous assortment of artisan made jewelry. The owner and all her staff are very courteous, kind and helpful. They take the time to acquaint themselves with each customer and to learn the customers preferences, price range and general taste.I consider that Sabrina Leonard is my personal jeweler. She is very in tune with my taste. She always helps me to find pieces that are just right for my purpose. They always are truly marvelous and they always are more tasteful and beautiful than what I would have chosen myself.Kelsie has also been great to work with. She too has assisted me several times very effectively.Von Bargens also handles repairs and jewelry appraisals. The store has several trunk shows featuring individual jewelry artisans yearly.They are conveniently located in downtown Hanover , New Hampshire a stones throw from Dartmouth College and many stores, businesses, banks and restaurants.

Julie and her staff are truly amazing. Their attention to detail is one of the many things I appreciate about working with them. I feel comfortable popping in anytime to browse and get my rings cleaned without feeling any pressure. They work with the most talented artists who align with their beliefs. I love their values as a company and feel so good about supporting a local family business.

I love Von Bargens Jewelry! Kelcie helped me design my own pendant and I am thrilled with it! In fact, I have received so many compliments, that a co-worker designed one very much like mine because she liked it so much. They are so friendly and helpful, with no pressure. Thank you for the best customer experience one can ask for in something as personal as jewelry.

The staff has worked with me to find new jewelry that I will wear for years and pass along to my children. Also they have helped me redesign older jewelry to so that I can enjoy wearing sentimental pieces that were given to me. Thank you to Von Bargens Team for being personalized service and strong community members!

Along with the stunning jewelry, I was beyond impressed by the exceptional customer service we received at Von Bargen’s. My father and I worked with Elizabeth and she was wonderful, communicative and incredibly knowledgeable. The team made sure our experience was stellar. I look forward to working with Von Bargen’s in the years ahead.

I highly recommend Von Bargens - I went in with a box full of various size gems taken from a number of old settings over the years (grandmothers, etc). I wanted to make something for my daughters wedding, but I didnt know what! Old cuts, various quality gems, sizes, and shapes. They suggested using one of their designers, Ali, to make a pendant with some of the gems. It turned out spectacularly! I now will give a bridal gift to my daughter which channels the love and hopes of her grandmothers and great grandmothers as well as mine and her fathers. And which is modern and sleek enough to wear today. I couldnt be happier! Thanks!!!

From my wifes wedding ring, to birthday presents, to gifts for no reason... Julie and the rest of the experts at the Hanover store have made me look like a hero every time. Von Bargens carries beautifully crafted pieces from a well-curated group of extraordinary designers. Its become the only place I shop for jewelry... anywhere!

My fiancee worked with Sabrina to design my dream ring! He said that she was incredibly kind, insightful, and helpful through the entire process. She was extremely patient throughout the process and helped him to create the perfect ring. Her insight and advice was invaluable! Sabrina also expedited the process so the ring would be available before we went to Europe where he would propose. When I came into the jewelry store months earlier, she even made a note that the ring I tried on was too big to best guess my ring size. She is very detail oriented. My ring is clearly such high quality and the diamond is super sparkly- its everything I wanted and have received so many compliments on it! I highly recommend working with Sabrina and VonBargens!

My husband Stan and I have enjoyed working with Julie and her amazing team in Hanover for over 15 years. Julie is so incredibly knowledgeable and professional, yet never pushy - she truly wants the purchase of jewelry to be a fulfilling and happy experience. I love the system of having a running list of things you like. I love that they clean my jewelry every time I come in, and let me know if a stone is coming loose on a ring. I also so appreciate the priority Julie, Jason and VBJ put on community. They are very generous - service and philanthropy are a priority for them personally and for the company. It feels great to do business with people who are so aligned with our values and also so much fun to work with.

Wonderful jewelry store. Staff is very knowledgeable and never pushy. They will pick out pieces they think you might like and let you know when it will be in the store to see them in person. They are also so good about keeping a record of your favorite wish list pieces in case someone special comes in looking for a gift idea :) You also cant beat the prices, they are very fairly priced and often less expensive than buying the same piece from another store. I especially recommend working with Amanda Nichols, she is such a pleasure, but all of the staff are excellent!

Julie and her staff at Von Bargens in Hanover are the best!! Theyre not only a pleasure to deal with and super knowledgeable about their own products, they also take the time to get to know their customers, what they like, what their style is, and what looks good with their look. Julie also never fails to send me helpful suggestions for birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions -- smart move for her business, obviously, but really helpful to me, too.

I first went to Von Bargen’s when I was in search of the “perfect “ earrings to wear at my sons wedding, I found them! And a pair for the brunch the following day 😉. I have shopped at four of the locations and have been impressed at each store with the knowledgeable and helpful staff as well as the unique selection of jewelry. Whether to find that perfect piece or redesign a family piece Von Bargen’s is now my “Go To Jeweler”, thank you Julie.

I discovered VB when I lived in Hanover. So much more than a small-town jewelry store! In fact, top notch. Julie and her staff are all outstanding in their knowledge, guidance and expertise. I now live in a larger metropolitan area with loads of jewelry stores, but VB remains my go-to store. Only wish I could “go to” more often!

Sabrina Leonard designed and supervised the creation of a custom diamond pendant and earring set for me to give to my wife for our anniversary. She did a fabulous job, working closely with me on ideas and design elements to create the perfect combination. Her attention to detail - and to schedule and budget! - was outstanding, and the personal care and dedication she gave to the project was much appreciated. It was a pleasure doing business with Sabrina and Von Bargens.

Ive worked with the team at Von Bargens on multiple occasions, and they continue to deliver high quality jewelry and expert service. A friend referred me to them in 2015 as I began my search for the perfect engagement ring. The team at Von Bargens took the time to get to know me, learn about my fiancé, and presented several options before we finalized the perfect ring. I have been back multiple times since, most recently this holiday season for a piece to celebrate the birth of our first child. My wife and I are so happy to have found a jeweler to help celebrate important occasions for our family!

Always a pleasure to buy or simply ‘pop in’ for browsing and conversation with the wonderful VB staff when in Hanover. I have been a customer for years and it’s always a pleasure to visit the store and never feel the pressure to buy. Who doesn’t want to wear diamonds if just for a few moments.! 😍

I cannot say enough good things about Von Bargens in Hanover, NH. Sabrina is THE best in the business and has made visiting that store such a treat for my husband and I. We got my engagement ring here along with so much more as their selection of gorgeous items is limitless! They truly have something for everybody there. Also a helpful note, Sabrina is an expert at figuring out the perfect item for someone and is very stealthy at getting the jewelry to be THE perfect surprise for your loved one. I can speak from experience, multiple times! We travel all the way from Boston because we trust no one else for the service and quality you get from them.

Sabrina Leonard has helped my husband and I create two amazing and significant rings for us after 28 years of togetherness.You must sense a sincerity in someone who is helping you with creating perfection and Sabrina exuded that from the very first time we walked into Van Bargen’s in Hanover. I have never met someone with the amount of patience and kindness in every interaction even when I do crazy things at the last moment. Sabrina’s follow though is 100% spot on and extremely consistent.We will continue to trust our business with her.All of the woman that work there are so incredibly awesome and always show us kindness and are willing to help with whatever needs to get done.Oh..did I mention that Julie Van Bargen Thom is an amazing woman...working to give back to the communities that support them and makes you know she is “ all heart ♥️!”It has been and will continue to work with all of them.!R & R

Im very happy with the engagement ring and band we selected with the help of your staff. You never compromise on quality and that made all the difference for us. The whole process was a learning experience. The people were so friendly. The rings are beautiful, and the diamond is amazing! Thank you.

I first visited Von Bargen’s for a watch battery, and have been back for a new chain and redesign of a keepsake necklace, as well as the purchase of 3 new pieces! Kelcie has helped me select some staples I wear almost every day. Sabrina also helped me select a lovely pair of pearls for my mother’s birthday. Great customer service and you can tell they all value community, quality, and impeccable design!

I never imagined that I would love a store and the experience of getting to know Julie and Sabrina so much. Every choice, every purchase Ive made at Von Bargen has been carefully discussed with them. They are wonderful to work with from their suggestions, which are tailored to my taste, to the repairs with which theyve helped me, and the estimates theyve prepared for me. Even after moving to another state, I remain completely loyal to Von Bargens!

I first met Amanda at Von Bargens several years ago when my husband and I were buying our wedding rings. Amanda was so patient as I tried on what seemed like every ring in the store prior to settling on one. Since then I have become a loyal customer and Amanda has helped my daughters on many occasions, one while buying a necklace and another while exploring her own options for engagement rings. Everyone in the store is so pleasant and helpful. The store features so many wonderful original pieces to be treasured for a lifetime.

I have been a customer of Von Bargens for many years, even after moving to Nashville, TN. I always work with Sabrina and she knows exactly what I need for my loved ones. I cant say enough good things about Katie and her staff so I will simply say that Von Bargens in the best. Period.

We purchased our engagement rings and wedding bands here and could not be happier! Amanda was super helpful and patient throughout our process. She does a great job communicating via email with any updates. We always look forward to walking in the store and find ourselves smiling when we leave. We felt very welcomed from the moment we met Amanda. I would highly recommend this place for great customer service and I would even go as far as saying friendship.Fun story: After we purchased our wedding bands we told Amanda we were going to a restaurant to celebrate. She asked what restaurant and we told her. We arrive at the restaurant and the waitress tells us to make sure we save room for dessert because Von Bargen wants to buy it for us!

My wife and I cannot say enough about the quality of service at the Hanover store. Amanda was incredibly helpful to work with designing my wifes engagement ring as well as other pieces over the years. They always provide a comfortable, low pressure, and personalized experience and we really wouldnt think about going anywhere else.

I have been a loyal Von Bargens customer for well over a decade. Hands down, they have the most beautiful jewelry collection in all of New England. They select only the highest quality artists and designers to show in their store. They have everything from classic, sparkling diamond jewelry to gorgeous, intricate artisan pieces. They also have simple and elegant pieces for everyday wear. They friendly, knowledgable staff have come to know me and my taste in jewelry, and always ensure my purchases fit my style and budget.I wouldnt go anywhere else!

My wife and I have used Von Bargen’s extensively for several years, both for personal jewelry and for corporate gifts. The team — particularly Julie Von Bargen Thom — is outstanding. If they do not have exactly what you are looking for, they can help to find it or work with one of their in-house designers or affiliated jewelry artists to create a custom piece. We have had both our engagement and wedding rings designed and created with VBJ’s help; as well as an extraordinary ginkgo necklace. And we have purchased a number of other pieces. My wife recently bought a corporate anniversary gift with Julie’s help for her long time ‘right hand’, and the recipient loves it so much she has not taken it off! VBJ is the best in the area!

I had recently inherited my grandmothers engaement/wedding band (fused together) to propose to my now fiancée. As I found out, the stone had been replaced by her 2nd husband, and the ring needed work. No other jeweler took anywhere near as much time and care with this project as Sabrina, and the whole team at Von Bargen’s. Before going to her I was completely lost about what exactly I’d be investing in. Sabrina was incredibly patient in explaining all of the options and guided me to the perfect stone that fit the setting and my fiancée a personality and style. Her and the rest of the team were so genuinely interested in how exactly I would be proposing and Sabrina even offered to help get the ring to the location! This was all 6 months ago and we now stop in to say hello frequently and discuss possible future projects. Just this past week, my fiancée lost a small diamond in the ring and was distraught over it. Sabrina and the team were able to assure her that everything would be fine and it would be taken care of at a very affordable price. I cannot of recommend them enough for your next work of art!

I stumbled into the Von Bargens Hanover store six years ago with some raw tanzanite treasures hoping someone could help me set them in a unique way. Little did I know, Sabrina was about to forever change my entire perspective on the incredible world of contemporary jewelry artists. Not only did she help design and select the right artists for each piece (Mark Patterson for the traditional set surrounded by diamonds and Todd Reed for a raw piece set into metal with diamonds), Sabrina opened a dialogue between the artists and myself (just a college student) to make sure we were designing the optimal settings to highlight everything that made these raw pieces so special.Thus started my love affair with the quality of the artists and staff at Von Bargens. A pair of simple black Yossi Harari Mothers Day earrings remains my moms favorite set to this day, and my Sarah Graham radiolarian drops still stop traffic on the streets of my new home in New York. Sabrina even arranged for me to stop by the workshop of Alex Sepkus in New York - what an opportunity to see how this fine jewelry is handmade by such a warm and caring staff. Even when I am fooled into buying far too basic studs from a corner shop in the New York diamond district, Sabrina comes to the rescue (without judgment) by enlisting world-revered artist Paul Morelli to save them in a gorgeous gold and diamond drop setting.To me, Von Bargens is the premiere tastemaker in the jewelry world with its expertly curated collection of the finest contemporary jewelry artists. Each store is staffed by knowledgable and kind employees who are wise and passionate about each artist and their work.Somehow they find exactly what is going to sparkle best on each unique customer, because I just know when I wear my Todd Reed diamond crawlers or my Gellner Tahitian pearls the compliments will be flowing in all night :)

We worked with Amanda at Von Bargens in Hanover designing an engagement ring; she is so lovely and provided us with a great experience! We had visited a few other Jewelers before walking in to Von Bargens and left with an “eh” feeling. As soon as we started chatting with Amanda we knew she was the person we wanted to work with! After a few minutes of being there I looked at my partner and said, “I want to stay here! Let’s use them!”. She helped find a ring design that fits my personality, style and life perfectly, and was patient and kind when working with a very novice jewlery purchaser and wearer :) After thinking we had the design set, we decided to incorporate a family diamond. They were happy to accommodate the change. The ring is perfect. I’m so happy we stumbled into Von Bargens and met Amanda!
