If you are looking for one-of-a-kind, handmade jewelry in Marion, look no further than this award-winning company!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“After 32 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to update my wedding ring. After taking a cursory look at local jewelers, we decided to stop into Philip’s Diamond Shop, not knowing what we wanted or what to expect. Philip’s made the experience as pleasant as it was seamless. It was comforting to work with a shop of professionals who carry out the entire process, from design to creation and execution, on site. After working with a Philip’s team member, I came away with an exquisite wedding ring that also honored the original.” – M.M.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Philip’s Diamond Shop is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Jewelry Store

We were excited to learn all about Philip’s Diamond Shop and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with Manager and Designer, Ben.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Philip’s Diamond Shop stand apart from its competitors. Ben told us that they are a small team of designers that is known for making one-of-a-kind pieces in-house. He said that the majority of their business is affordable custom design. Ben said:

“We just try to help people express love through jewelry. We can repurpose grandma’s ring or other pieces of jewelry.”

Building Success, Online And Off

Philip’s Diamond Shop has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Ben how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. Ben said that they have a strong social media presence and frequently share photos of their work.

We asked Ben what their secret is behind getting such great online reviews. He told us that most of their reviews are organic and that they don’t ask for them; they just focus on taking care of people. Ben said:

“If you do a great job, people will want to leave you some feedback.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Philip’s Diamond Shop has managed to. We asked if Ben could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:

“Just keep after it, and be consistent.”


Congratulations to Philip’s Diamond Shop for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Ben for taking the time to speak with us!
