Andrea is an absolute pleasure to work with. She had so many wonderful ideas to make my ring perfectly suited for me. Funny how I went in thinking I knew what I wanted, but after our design sesh, we came up with something even more perfect for me. I look at my set now and think "this is so me!" The whole process took exactly 4 weeks from the initial design consultation to having my new ring and appraisal in hand. I loved seeing the 3D renders and pictures of the wax model too! Every part of working with Andrea at Ethan Lord was just an absolute joy. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, so let me start at the beginning…read more.. A couple years ago, my boyfriend (now fiancé) purchased a vintage locket for my birthday from Stella Blue Design. Despite not offering it as a service, Angie helped me laser cut and set a picture of him into the heart-shaped locket, only charging me a small fee. I really appreciated her generosity and knew I would return to her shop. About a year ago, I decided it was time to purchase a new gold chain for a pair of cloisonné pendants that belonged to my grandmother. Angie makes her own chains, and she was so patient while I looked at the various patterns and tried on different lengths. I originally planned on buying a single chain to share, but after reviewing my options I decided to purchase two of different pattern and length. The cloisonnés vary in color, shape, and size, and the chains we chose reflected their differences. Angie even added my grandmother's birth stone (peridot) to the clasp of each one! To use her words, these necklaces are now truly "heirloom quality" that I hope to pass down to my future children. Finally, this past fall. My fiancé worked with Angie to create a custom engagement ring. It has the Art Deco style that I love, and it's absolutely perfect. The ring is everything I wanted, and I have received so many compliments. The fact that Angie designed it makes it all the more special to me. Angie is kind, patient, and honest - every quality you would want in a jeweler. Her cozy little shop is welcoming, and everything is artfully arranged. You can feel Angie's passion in her craftsmanship, dedication to quality, and ability to make any project - from a gold chain to an engagement ring - incredibly unique and personal. We will be lifelong clients and will of course be asking Angie to design my wedding band. I will update this review with more pictures as we continue to work with Stella Blue Design. Thank you Angie and the team for all of your help! - Maureen & Tim

I sent out a request via yelp to a whole bunch of different jewelers that were local to Lincoln Park and Lakeview. Lincoln Park Gems, was the first to respond! I spoke with Victor, who was incredibly friendly and pleasant said that he was planning on closing a little bit early because it was New Year's eve, but then offered to stay a little later in order to help get this watch sorted that night! (Totally did not need to do this). When we arrived Victor, (very well dressed, stylish gentleman) sat us down, made my son, and I feel very welcome, and then proceeded to explain what he was going to do to the watch and made suggestions about how many links to remove and why. He was able to make the adjustments very quickly, under 5 mins and was extremely pleasant and professional from start to finish! All around. A+++ service and done with a genuine great attitude and welcoming vibe! I'll definitely be back for anything else I need adjusting/fixing jewelry or watch related!

Thank you SO much for everything, Susan, and looking forward to working with you again very soon!

My experience buying an engagement ring through Dimend SCAASI was nothing short of amazing and I…read morecan't recommend them enough to anyone shopping for a ring or jewelry. What stood out about Dimend SCAASI was their selection of settings and stones at some of the most competitive prices. I was a little nervous about buying a ring online, so I booked an in-person appointment, and I'm very glad I did. The team was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They patiently walked me through the entire process, showing me all the different settings, cuts, and options while answering every question I had. Working directly with Isaac was a highlight. After I shared my budget and preferences, he found a stone that matched exactly what I wanted and ordered it that same day. As another thoughtful touch, he scheduled a time for me to view the diamond in person once it arrived and assured me that if I wasn't completely happy with it, he'd replace it at no cost and no questions asked. The entire team made the process an absolute joy. All communication was responsive and they were very accommodating with my engagement timeline, ensuring the ring was ready well in advance. When I picked it up, the diamond grading report, insurance details, and additional paperwork were all prepared and ready, and the ring itself looked stunning. Everything turned out great and my Fiancé absolutely loved the ring. I'm thrilled I found Dimend SCAASI and can't say enough good things about the experience. My Fiancé and I are already looking forward to returning for our wedding bands!

The lady that helped me told me that the person that would service the watch was not in and would it would take a couple of days. A few days later they call me and tell me that the watch isn't working with the new battery. I thought it was weird that it wasn't working since it was before the battery dies. So I took it to the Swap o Rama flea market and the gentleman there opened the watch and told me that they bent a piece that holds the battery in place. He said instead of removing the piece probably by removing the screws they tried to pry it out and in turn scratching the pieces and bending the piece. So he ended up ordering the replacement parts and fixed it for me. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do happen to do business here be very careful because if they are doing this type of work, I can imagine where else they're cutting corners or deceiving customers. Whether it's with watches or gold jewelry that they sell or buy. I mean, I got my watch fixed at a flea market for God sakes.

This review is LONG overdue…read more After looking online and at a couple of different 'big box' type jewelry stores for an engagement ring and just not finding what we wanted, we decided we wanted to go the route of having a custom ring made, and so we ended up at Holtzmann's. Pam and Pat Holtzmann are the most phenomenal folks around. When you're in their store, you feel like family. They are super friendly, and made you feel comfortable from the get-go. They are both super patient, and they really take the time to educate you on different stones, and different aspects of design to help make sure that you're creating a jewelry piece that will last a lifetime with proper care. We ended up having my engagement ring and my husband's wedding ring made by them, and then after having my husbands wedding ring made, I ended up wanting to make a more feminine, mini-version of his ring to be able to wear myself as well, and they helped us make that too. The quality of the jewelry pieces we received is outstanding, and working with Pam and Pat was the same. We valued getting to work with them so closely on pieces we plan to wear a lifetime! Although we had rings made, Holtzmann's specializes in all types of custom jewelry. We happened to pop into the store at the tail end of another couple leaving who had the most beautiful custom bracelet made, and at another visit saw someone picking up a necklace that they had redesigned with stones from a different necklace they no longer wore anymore. All of those jewelry pieces were amazing too. 10/10 recommend for whatever your jewelry needs are!!
