Oscar Wilde, world renowned Irish novelist and poet, once defined a cynic as a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. The jewelry trade has more then its share of cynics who can only measure price because they do not recognize any other standard. McGarry’s built its reputation in Philadelphia over the course of 147 years by adhering to the principles of reliability, integrity, and the complete satisfaction of our customers.

Since 1854, three generations of the same family have owned and operated McGarry’s. For us, assisting you in the selection and purchase of fine jewelry is only the first, and possibly the least complex, of the expert personal services we offer. We are prepared to repair, mount, or customize your existing jewelry, or completely fabricate a unique item from your design.

Precious metals and gems are timeless; they never become worthless. Items currently owned by you can be transformed into something breathtakingly new, or a family heirloom can be restored to its original splendor. In either case, an item of jewelry takes on a personal value beyond its material worth.

Please visit our location at 312 North Second and take advantage of our free parking lot at Second and Vine Streets. We will be happy to show you our large stock of contemporary jewelry and watches, as well as our extensive collection of antique and estate pieces. If you have damaged jewelry, let us give you immediate estimate of repair. You will be pleasantly surprised to discover how little time and money is usually required. Whether you need a ring sized, a chain clasp replaced, or a new setting for an important diamond, we will perform the work in our on-site workshop to your exact specifications, and we guarantee your satisfaction!
