    I will never go any other jeweler ever again. The service, the care, the attention you get at Cottage Jewelry is simply incomparable . Cottage has a beautiful selection for absolutely any occasion. The most wonderful staff, especially Ira and Marie. My fiancé and I had my engagement ring made here and it is the most stunning ring I could have ever imagined. They have taken care of us beyond my expectations. We selected my wedding band yesterday and I am even more thrilled than I was with my engagement ring, which I didn't think possible! Cottage Jewelry can make anything you could possibly imagine and the guidance you receive during the whole process makes you feel warm and special. Every time I walk in the door is truly a special experience. I have a beautiful necklace and earrings I was gifted with from this jeweler also that I cherish everyday I have them. So grateful for the service we have received here and the sweet friendships we have made. They have really treated my fiancé and I like family from start to finish and I can't say enough good things about the jewelry and the people who work here. Thank you so much Cottage Jewelry for making my jewelry dreams come true!!!

    Bought a pair of earrings here. Reasonably priced. Favorite shop in the area!!! Highly recommend to anyone. Went in initially for engagement ring but couldn't narrow down exactly what I water. Bought the earrings because o couldn't resist. Highly recommend!!!

    I want to give a HUGE shout out to Cottage Jewelers! My fiancé had a wonderful experience working with the entire Cottage team when designing my engagement ring. When I decided to make some changes to my mothers wedding ring to match my engagement ring, we didn't have to think twice about working with Cottage again. Their expertise, patience, and ability to make us feel comfortable in our decisions cannot be matched! Thank you thank you thank you for my beautiful rings!

    My fiancé George and I visited Ira at Cottage Jewelers to look at engagement rings together. The experience and service was so personalized and comfortable. They do not pressure you, and they help you find or make a piece of jewelry you will truly love, working within your budget. The jewelry they carry is a high quality mix of fine estate pieces, custom made, and designer. We loved the ring and our first time experience so much, we are now working with them for both of our wedding rings as well!

    We initially went in for an appraisal for our diamond and boy are we glad we did! I had a couple of inspiration photos of what I wanted to do with the stone. Ira took one look and his confidence was extremely reassuring. He helped us make the most beautiful custom engagement ring! Thank you, Ira for making the whole process painless and making us so happy! We'll be back!

    Nothing short of AMAZING! Christopher Duquet Jewelry was fantastic during the process of buying an…read moreengagement ring for my now fiancee. Truth be told, I tend to be an indecisive person and was all over the place sometimes -- what to involve my partner in, what to decide on for myself, which diamond to get, etc. Any time I felt overwhelmed by my own over-thinking, Priscilla and Villi were there to guide me. And every single time, they knew exactly what to do. It was magic. I am so appreciative of their patience. I was in love with the final ring, and I was impressed with how well it fit and how it ended up being exactly what Sarah wanted. If you're looking to purchase an engagement ring for an upcoming proposal, or even looking for any other custom jewelry, I would not look anywhere else - they are the experts! Thank you again.

When I picked it up, I cried. The team didn't just do the work, they treated it like it mattered, because they understood that it did. That's not something you can fake, and it's not something every jeweler knows how to do. They also helped me pick out a wedding band, which somehow felt less like shopping and more like sitting with people who genuinely wanted me to find the right one. No pressure, no pushing, just honest expertise. And when I needed a watch appraised, Brett Fuenfer took the time to walk me through everything. His knowledge is the kind you only get from someone who deeply loves the craft, and the care he brings shows in every interaction. To Brett and the entire Fuenfer team, thank you. You turned three separate visits into moments I won't forget.

They appraised two platinum and and Dimond rings for 1/2 the value they were appraised for 10yrs ago. I thought that was suspicious so I got 2 more separate appraisals elsewhere those two were both pretty close to each other but both were close to 70% higher than Fuenfer so across three appraisals Fuenfer was such a large outlier it was highly likely to have been incorrect.

Loads of other small business bead shops in the Chicagoland area won't scam and condescend to you. Visit #1 - Joe helped me select some beads and supplies, totaling $322. Toward the end, it got hectic, and all employees were preoccupied. I needed to get somewhere, and I had some questions to ask before finalizing my purchase. I eventually gave up, realizing they were too busy, and decided to purchase the items I had and return if I needed more. I told Joe I needed to leave to get somewhere on time and I'd like to check out. Instead of beginning the checkout process, he upsold me on other items. The checkout process took 15 minutes as they do not have an electronic register and process transactions manually. At no point did Joe mention that the checkout process would take longer than is typical when I said I needed to leave. I felt like I wasn't listened to and was being sold to without regard for my time or business. Throughout our interaction, I mentioned that I was new to beading and was purchasing supplies for a jewelry-making party. I mentioned that I wasn't sure I needed all these supplies and may need to return some. At no point did anybody mention the return policy is store credit or exchange only. Visit 2 - A week later, I had returns to make, about $99 worth. I called to ask about the return policy and was informed it was only an exchange or store credit. I politely asked if an exception could be made, considering this was not communicated before completing my purchase. The person I spoke with said she would ask the owner and call me back. They never called me back. I went in person with my boyfriend and we spoke with Joe. I told him I had items I needed to return and asked if it would be possible for an exception to be made to the policy, since I wasn't told the policy before they completed my transaction. He said no, that they only offer exchange and store credit. When I asked why an exception couldn't be made, he said, "Because that's how we've always done it." My boyfriend asked again if he would consider making an exception and Joe said he would ask Ayla. He went to the back to ask and returned, saying that Ayla said they would make an exception. I was appreciative, and we went to the counter to process the return. He used the card reader to attempt a return but kept getting an error message, and he said he did not know how to process a return. Regardless of whether a business offers returns/refunds, it is essential to understand the key functions of your systems. Eventually, we gave up trying to process the return, and he once again offered store credit and explained that the return policy was on their receipts. I told him that having the return policy only listed on the receipt and nowhere else when the return policy is no returns is not helpful because, at that point, the transaction is complete, and nothing can be done. This does not allow people to decide whether they want to make a non-returnable purchase. He responded, saying, "Well, we're a small business; we don't just want people to pay and to just say to them 'thank you for your money.'" (implying there is no way to get that money back now.) And yet there we were, in that exact situation. We asked if we could get our refund in cash. Mind you, there was a sign on the counter that said, "We're a small business, we prefer cash." implying they accept cash and likely have it in the register. He said he would ask Ayla. He went to the back once more, which is separated from the store by a curtain. Shortly after he went back, we heard Ayla (the owner) SCREAMING "NO. NO!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I DON'T HAVE A HUNDRED DOLLARS! I'M NOT GIVING THEM ANY MONEY! I'M WITH A CLIENT!" and on and on and on. Everybody in the store could hear her. Joe returned and told us that wouldn't be possible, to which I said, "Oh, don't worry, I heard her." At this point, we had been there too long. I should have asked to speak directly to Ayla to resolve the issue and address her abhorrent behavior, but at this point, all I wanted was to leave and never return. Unfortunately, I caved and accepted store credit, which Joe insisted I did not need to use that day and could return and use any time. Did he think I would ever want to make a trip here again? As I tried to gather items for exchange, Joe felt it necessary to say, "You know this is one of the strands you returned." Yes, I know, but that was when I thought I could get a refund. This entire time, I remained polite and tried to offer feedback for a better experience, but was only condescended to. After leaving, I discovered they broke my debit card with their machine! It kept declining, and my bank said it was showing as "expired" despite the exp. date being months away. Don't waste your time or money here.
