Of course, it all starts with a ring—and shopping for a ring starts with personalized service. At Royal Jewelers, it's all about each customer's experience, from start to finish. "When our father opened Royal Jewelers almost 70 years ago, he was adamant about what he called the 'Trust Factor': making sure each and every client felt taken care of, from the time they walked into our store until they said 'I do,'" says Paula Leed, president and second-generation owner of the storied Andover jewelry business, which houses iconic brands such as Beady, Simon G., and Christian Bauer, as well as its own bespoke offering, the Royal Crown Collection. A customer concierge service combines over 200 years of experience, and each consultant works sans commission, ensuring that each guest receives an honest, no-pressure environ- ment in which to shop.

We're honored to be a part of that experience." 58 Main St., Andover, 978-475-3330; royaljewelers.com .
