I was a little disappointed in my dealings with Christopher's and I'll explain why. The store is…read morereally fascinating, with lots of beautiful and unique jewelry. The staff seem well informed and are very helpful, too. I went there looking for an engraved locket for my mother and while they didn't have anything in stock that fit what I needed, they told me they could easily order it in and engrave the locket in store but the whole process would take two weeks tops from beginning to end. They called while I was there and confirmed their supplier had the item I wanted and would ship it to Christopher's right away. I actually live in Los Angeles but my in-laws live in Champaign, so I paid in full for the locket and engraving and agreed that my mother in law would collect the order when it was ready and send it to me. Fine. Except it took over 10 days longer than the completion date they gave me and I ended up having to bug them about it. When I finally got the locket, the last letter on the engraving looked like an M instead of an N but I didn't bother to call them. I was just disappointed with the experience overall, and hope it may have been different if I'd ordered a custom item instead.

The first meeting we had no idea what we wanted and some great questions got us on the right path, the designs Chris Jupp came up with were not quite what we wanted so we kept looking - a few months later after looking all over DC we came back with a better idea and he was able to blend what we liked from half a dozen different rings to create the prefect ring. So very pleased and we will be back over the years for more.

We rented a home from Joel Ward for 4 months while we looked for a home to buy. This company was very friendly and even took care of maintenance issues in a timely fashion. When it came to leaving, we thought we had gone over and above to clean and polish the house, including pulling out the stove and the fridge and cleaning dirty messes (including a rat trap, a pile of kibble, and residue of an unknown spill under the stove; under the fridge, as well as dirt, etc., there was even a kid's refrigerator magnet). Those messes weren't just from the tenant before us who had been the owner and his son. We cleaned that up and polished the hardwood floors in the master and the front/dining room. There was one thing they didn't like. Neither did we. When we first moved in in March, there was an incredible amount of rain. During that time, the basement flooded twice, had to be drained and have the dehumidifier run for a couple weeks total - on OUR electric bill of course. This was all cheap indoor/outdoor carpet squares and why they didn't just pull them up, I don't know. Why we were naïve enough to think that it would bring us any good will to use our own electricity, I don't know. I swept and vacuumed the "carpeted" area to keep it clean of any mess we brought doing laundry. After the work the landlord did, to drain the basement, he also had a sump pump put in. That too, the hours of jackhammering, etc. were on OUR electricity. After the water was cleared and the pump installed was when the "carpet" needed cleaning. When we moved out, Joel Ward Realty (junior agent Darrin specifically) had the nerve to charge us for cleaning the carpet because, he said, that is what our contract with the owner required. I asked if he could discuss that with the owner, given all the surrounding circumstances (Darrin said they would take into account the short duration of our lease!). He said he would talk to the owner, but he never got back to me with an answer, only to repeat his version of legalese in subsequent emails. He also said he would speak to the current tenant to find out if a couple boxes we couldn't find might have been left in our portion of the garage. He never got back to us regarding that matter either. There are better agents out there. Keep looking!
