The QueenI am the daughter of Harry Merrill, making me the second generation of the HMS family. I have been evolving along with Harry Merrill & Son since my father, my brother Steve, and I opened the business in 1954. Today I am happy to be able to offer more than 63 years of experience and a knack for identifying, purchasing, and designing unique jewelry and estate pieces for the store. I work alongside my husband Stanley and my son Robert to bring a family-style approach to the business. I feel that in this atmosphere customers look forward to returning visits to commemorate milestones in their lives and celebrate special occasions with us.

The BossI am the grandson of Harry Merrill and I represent the third generation of the Merrill family. I really enjoy all aspects of the business, but I particularly enjoy working with custom design and estate jewelry. I really love getting to know our customers and helping them commemorate special occasions in their lives. I enjoy helping customers by facilitating the transition from stressed and overwhelmed to informed and relaxed. Helping people repurpose or repair their sentimental jewelry into pieces they will truly enjoy is one of my favorite aspects of our business. I always strive to help Harry Merrill & Son’s internet presence grew as well as striving to maintain and grow our brick-and-mortar store. I carry on the work and tradition of my grandfather, my uncle, and my mother. I presently work together with my work family to keep Harry Merrill & Son forward-thinking, while maintaining a strong tie to our roots and the fundamentals of hands-on customer service.

As children, most people admire firefighters, police officers, doctors, or lawyers. As a child, I admired gemologists and jewelry designers. When I was fourteen, I had a unique opportunity to work for a jeweler on the historical Jewelers’ Row in Philadelphia. I began working for Harry Merrill & Son Jewelers as a runner – going to our various jewelry artisans to have jewelry designed, repaired, polished, and engraved. Additionally, I polished my own knack for selecting stones at our lapidary and diamond cutter. Throughout my eight years in the Jewelry industry, I have gained tremendous experience and knowledge about the business, as well as insight into myself. I really enjoy working with our customers, educating them about precious metals and gemstones, appraising the finished jewelry, working with our vendor partners on styled photoshoots, and growing our social media!
