R.D. Allen Freeport Jewelers

"I have been going to Freeport Jewelers for years. Annette is always friendly, knowledgeable, and goes out of her way to make sure you find exactly what you’re looking for. I highly recommend shopping here."

"My fiancé bought my engagement ring from R.D. Allen and I am blown away by how stunning it is! Annette worked with him through emails as he lives in England and was very accommodating to our situation (I live in Maine). She made the process so simple for us. We can’t wait to purchase our wedding bands there as well."

"Ordered a custom piece from these folks. After asking several times for an estimate, got numbers thrown at me in no particular order with no real conclusion. Put down what is a hefty deposit for me ($250+), after being told that the pieces would be "more or less" in that price range. Once the pieces arrived, I was told I owed another $180+ and when I went to pick them up, it was another $200+ ("oh, yeah, there's sales tax on part of the order, but not this part of the order, but yeah, there's tax on it." What?) Never offered a written estimate (and buyer beware, I'll _never_ make the mistake of trusting a non-written one ever again). I brought the stones to the transaction and still the pieces cost more than what I would expect to pay for ones off the shelf. I'm tremendously sad I cannot use them any more, because I prefer to work with a small shop on several other custom pieces I would like made."

"My husband and I visited RD Allen Jewelers on July 23 because I really wanted a piece of watermelon tourmaline. Annette helped us pick out the perfect pendant and chain. This store has the largest selection of watermelon tourmaline I have seen. I also trusted Annette to sell us a piece that was authentically Maine. She is very knowledgeable and should be on your list to visit. I would definitely come back next time we’re in Freeport (hoping next year)!"

"I bought a pair of Maine tourmaline earrings at R.D. Allen's last year. They quickly became a favorite of mine right up until the day I lost one. I contacted the store to see if a replacement was possible. I spent lots of time consulting with Annette before deciding upon having the remaining stone made into a simple, yet stunning, ring and purchasing new tourmaline posts. She has a great eye and is a delight to work with. The shop offers a wide selection of Maine tourmaline jewelry. It's a treat to linger there. I'm already planning my next purchase when we visit in 2020. Thanks, Annette!"
