We contacted them to discuss some improvements to the comps, but received a confrontational response. However, don't take my word for it ... the numbers speak for themselves.

The buyer's independent appraisal also confirmed the the sales value, showing that the appraisal we purchases lacked value.

After getting our appraisals and getting our jewelry back, the watch they appraised and cleaned was…read morerunning very slow. It was not that way when I dropped it off for appraisal. We paid $50 extra to have the watch cleaned, so assumed they were cleaning the entire watch. When I called to ask if they could take a look at and fix the watch, they told me to bring it in and they would quote me for the fix. I pushed back and they said this happens sometimes - a watch will be cleaned and coincidentally will develop an unrelated problem. That's when I asked if something could have happened when they cleaned the watch. I was told they only cleaned the band and not the watch itself. This was not what was explained when I agreed to the cleaning. Simply stated, they asked if I wanted the watched cleaned for another $50. I think they probably meant the band but that wasn't how it was proposed to me. The quote was $275 to fix it, I find it is very odd that you drop off a perfectly working watch for appraisal and the timing mechanism develops a problem while just sitting there. I don't understanding but will give Daniel's the benefit of the doubt and agree it must have just been bad timing. I'm still happy with Daniel's Jewelry overall but have to knock off one star for the confusion around the appraisal followed by the repair.

We have been long time customers when we relocated from Southern California to Glenview for work downtown. We have purchased earrings, some different pieces from the estate jewelry cabinet & watchbands. All of the staff is quite pleasant & personable. Valerie really knows her field & Arthur crafts, cleans & repairs everything that we have brought in. Valerie helped us pick out a simple band honoring our 40th wedding anniversary. When one of the stones fell out, she replaced the ring promptly. It is really comforting to have a relationship with a trusted jeweler. Thanks, Daniel's Jewelry for all of your years of trusted service & offering of "just right" pieces to purchase.

When I returned three hours later, he said he hadn't looked at it and asked me to come back yet again. When I declined, he became upset and practically threw the necklace back at me. To make matters worse, he also commented that he "liked my jeans," which felt very inappropriate. I only have one day off and could have gone elsewhere for the repair. This was disappointing, especially given the store's good reputation.
