This review is LONG overdue. 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!! read more

I had a stone that I wanted reset into a unique band for my engagement ring. The Holtzmanns were super helpful throughout the process. We showed them our Pinterest board, and they came up with a plastic mold that I got to try on. After a couple of revisions here and there, they gave us our ring and we love it! We would definitely recommend them! read more

If you want to have the best experience picking out your wedding bands with your partner, or just any jewelry in general, go to Holtzmanns. I am so thankful I found Pat and Pam, they are the BEST!!!! I first went in to get my engagement ring resized and they made me feel so comfortable and everything was so easy. After I got it sized, my fiancé and I obviously came here to pick out our bands. My mom came along as well and it was just such a great experience. I also had them put in a new diamond on my engagement ring and they got it done in less than a week, it is stunning. Thank you Pat and Pam for making our experience so memorable! read more

The good: Came here for a resizing and the cost ended up being cheaper than was quoted ($45 instead of $50), which is always a plus. We hadn't purchased the ring at their store and they were still accommodating. Service the second time around (see not-so-good) was much friendlier and more attentive. Their hours are more flexible than other stores nearby as well, which is a plus. The not-so-good: They recommended us to get a 5.5 sizing, even though we hesitated and stated that we should go lower. Eventually we took their recommendation and the ring unfortunately still does not fit (needs to be 5.25). Additionally, the service was rather dismissive the first time we were there - other clients seemed more important to them. read more

Pam and Pat are the best! Helped me with my watch last minute and super quick. Can't wait to go back there and get some of their awesome jewelry. Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

They did a beautiful job of resetting my wedding ring set. Very easy to work with and offered helpful suggestions.

I've been trying out different jewelers around town looking for fresh ideas and a friend told me about Holtzmann's, so I gave it a try. Pretty small family-owned storefront, till I asked if they have anything custom, I told them what I was looking for and they helped me narrow down - They took my name and number and a week later, they called me in to show me samples. To my surprised, they gave me many choices to choose and narrow down what I wanted. Once we settled on the cost and time this was done - they called me to let me know. Overall I had a positive experience with Holtzmann and very knowledgeable. I will definitely come back a second time. read more

My new husband and I could not be more thrilled with our rings and the service we got from Pat and Pam! Dan first went to Pat and Pam to get my engagement ring. It was everything I wanted and more! We came back to get our bands and the warmth and love they give is overwhelming! They really go above and beyond for their costumers. We are over the moon happy with our rings. It's safe to say Holtzmann's is our forever jeweler! read more

5 stars aren't enough!! The pictures don't do it justice!! Mr. and Mrs. Holtzmann are the nicest people. They went out of their way to make sure that I had the most magical ring. They practice social distancing and safe measures during Covid-19, but still make the experience very special. The Holtzmann's are honest and kind. My fiancé and I have decided that this is the only place we will buy jewelry! I can't wait to go back and pick my wedding band! read more

One of the best in town. They do very good work and you get a more personal touch. Pat and Pam are really a pleasure to work with! Would highly recommend! read more

Love this neighborhood family business! Honest, approachable and easy to work with no matter how big or small the job - even minor, inexpensive repairs...they treat every item / request with respect and excellent service! read more

Pam and Pat are the best! Needed my rings fixed so brought them in, and Pam took them right into the jeweler. She called me from his office to share what it would cost (not bad at all!) and had the rings back to me within days. Whenever I come with my daughter in the stroller, they help me bring her up the stairs into their store. Unfortunately the building can't be made accessible because it's historic but they are so helpful! Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

Pat and Pam were so nice and helpful. I had two chains that needed small repairs. They got me into the shop in between appointments that day and helped me out. They offered to pop them back together on the spot (easier but not necessarily permanent), or they could laser solder them and have them back to me in a few days (much more secure option for the chains). They called me back earlier than expected, and a bit cheaper than quoted. Also, since it's COVID times, they were meticulous with keeping the store sanitized. One client at a time, everything wiped down, hand sanitizer at the ready. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who needs repairs or to buy jewelry. read more

Pat & Pam are the bestest! Make an appointment (during COVID) - they'll take good care of you.

They're amazing! Such a warm welcoming family feel when working with them. We've gotten everything from engagement rings, to wedding bands, to necklaces and earrings from them. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

There couldn't be a more charming and sophisticated neighborhood jewelry store. The selection is beautifully curated and always elegant--with some incredible custom designs. Well situated in Lincoln Park, It's locally owned by the nicest people who are always happy to help you find the perfect piece for any occasion. read more

I am not much of a shopper. Over the last couple of decades I have gone to Holtzmann's for several gifts for my wife. They have always quickly found me something unique, in my budget, that my wife has been happy with. What more could you ask for? read more

I never write reviews, but I am absolutely obSESSED with Pam and Pat, their work on my jewelry, knowledge, and hospitality. I love them, they are so helpful and fun to talk to about jewelry, they clearly love what they do and it shows! Thank you both so much, I will be a frequent customer now, for all my jewelry needs! read more

I recently had a ring resized here and they did a great job. I wasn't entirely sure what size I needed, and the gentlemen working fitted my finger and assured me of the size. After I got the call saying the ring was done (2 days early) I headed there a little nervous it would be too small. I was happily surprised the ring fit perfectly, and I was happy I listened to his expert advice. It ended up only being $25 to resize the gold ring. They polished it up and it looks great. Couldn't be more happy with them. read more

Holtzmann's is fantastic! They are a small family owned jewelry store. My husband's family has been going there for years so this is where he went to purchase my engagement ring. We went back there to purchase our wedding rings as well. We received friendly, attentive service and excellent value each time. I couldn't find a wedding band in their store that I specifically liked, and they did everything to help me get a better idea. Pat even let me try on his wife's wedding bands to see if I liked that! After doing some searching on my own, I found another style elsewhere which they were able to custom make for me. The ring is gorgeous!! The BEST part is that for my wedding day, I was able to borrow a few beautiful pieces from the store!! It made me feel even more special on my wedding day. It was like being a celebrity!! We will definitely go back to Holtzmann's. It is a wonderful family business with superb service and quality. read more

I am a big fan of Patrick and Michael there. My wife used to work down the street and had been "shopping" there for years So when it came time to pop the question, it was an easy pick. What I was surprised by was their pricing was very competitive. We also ended up buying our wedding bands from there as well. When the wedding day came around, they really went the extra mile for us. I will not go into details, but they were really great. So much so that when we left the church on a rickshaw, we stopped by to say a quick hi. I don't suspect I will be making any big jewelry purchases anytime soon, but when I do, I will pay Holtzmann's a visit. read more

I always service my rings here. The price is always reasonable and they do such a fantastic job. I had to cut my rings off after I had the baby (my ring size went from 6.25 to 8.25) and they did great job to fix my rings. Also they are always friendly and nice. I highly recommend them. read more

I love this place. Patrick and Michael are so friendly and helpful! We've had two really great experiences with them getting custom jewelry made. My husband stole an old diamond ring out of my jewelry box and took it to Holtzmann's to see if they could match the stone and make some earrings for me as a surprise. I don't know all of the details that went into it, but I know that my husband was very happy with the process and I am extremely happy with my new beautiful diamond earrings. So when I decided to have a necklace made with a stone my father had given me, I knew I was going to Holtzmann's. I thought I knew what I wanted, but I ended up changing my mind about the design twice, and they stuck with me through the whole thing. Even when I made a change at the very last minute, they were totally understanding. We will definitely be back for all of our jewelry needs. As a matter of fact, they have a ring in their case right now that I've had my eye on. Maybe my husband will see this and get it for me... read more

These guys were amaaaaazing. We went here to buy my wedding band and they helped me find exactly what I wanted within my budget. They also buffed my engagement ring up for my actual wedding weekend so it would look as good as possible. They were so easy to work with and we were happy to find a locally owned spot instead of a big box store. read more

I have been in here a few times with my husband looking for a wedding band to match my original ring. I wanted to wait until I had experienced their customer service, selection and special orders to write a complete review. For starters, I walked by the storefront every week and looked at all the sparkly things thinking to myself "this is a really nice place in Lincoln Park, I probably can not afford one thing in there." Or maybe I thought that because I am not dressed like a business woman that they wouldn't take me seriously. If you think that when you walk by, please step in and say hello. The couple that owns/works here are so open and friendly and they both helped me try on many rings and talk about some options. There was no pressure, they wanted me to be happy. They worked with our budget and gave us a good price on a beautiful delicate silver band that looks great with my original ring. I also got my original ring cleaned and polished, it came back in only a few days and it looks like new. The special order for the band came in a timely fashion and I am so happy. My whole experience was positive and you can't ask for more than that. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Holtzmann's. They rebuilt my ring after it was smashed in a door and redid another ring (from another jeweler) that wasn't made correctly and kept losing diamonds. They are super reasonable compared to others and the work is impeccable. Pam is so incredibly kind and knowledgeable - she makes you feel like family. They also have stunning, one of a kind jewelry. Do yourself a favor and go here! read more

Holtzmann's Jewelry store is cozy & intimate place to shop. The store is tastefully laidout to make jewelry shopping a dream. It is located in heart of Chicago's Lincoln Park. If you are looking for jewelry that will get noticed you have to step into this shop. Tasteful and distinctive are the two words that best describe there inventory. The Holtzmann Family has even made parking easy. (see the website for details). read more

Holtzmann's saved my life! : ) I was in search of the perfect engagement ring and thought I had found it...had it shipped in from New York. God was I WRONG. Needless to say, I shipped it right back. I was turned on to Holtzmann's by a dear friend. I described, to them, what I wanted...they beyond surpassed my expectations! Pamela & Patrick first found me the perfect 2ct diamond that I wanted, then the setting. I went in, looked at them both and was blown away. They had it set for me in no time...done deal. They really listened & were quite quick to respond. They made my job easy : ) My now fiance LOVES her ring. We'll be headed back to pick out our bands soon! Yay...thanks guys! read more

Pat and Pam are the best! Two of the nicest people you'll ever meet and they made the engagement ring buying experience a pleasure! Also, the quality and options make Holtzmann's the perfect spot for Engagement Ring Shopping. From start to finish they were great and helped me build the perfect ring for my fiance! read more

Holtzmann's represents true elegance. My fiancé and I visited the store over a year ago to check out a certain Tacori ring that I was interested in. Needless to say, the moment I walked into the store I fell in love. The pieces are gorgeous and very unique. We checked out other stores in the Chicago area, but kept coming back to Holtzmann's. They are such great people to work with and a pleasure to talk to. We got engaged about a month ago and the ring is absolutely gorgeous. It is everything that I wanted and much more! We are planning on getting our wedding bands there and many more pieces. It is a great feeling to know that we have found such a great jeweler that we can work with for years to come. Our experience here was and still is unlike any other. Thank you Holtzmann's!! read more

My partner and I love to support local businesses. After searching for a gay-friendly jeweler, I found this GEM of a store! I had a pleasant, non-pressure time looking over rings in the store. The owners, Pat and Pam were so friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and truly genuine. They walked me through all the information I need to know for picking out a "surprise" ring for my soon-to-be fiance. Long story short: I found the perfect ring, placed the order, paid and I had the ring within a week. Talk about SERVICE! A+ Store, merchandise and people! . read more

I have walked by this quaint store a couple of times and always saw the nice jewelry on display in the window. I am not much into jewelry myself...nor is my boyfriend, so I never ventured in. Then I was walking by this past fall and remembered that it was our 13th Anniversary...and maybe I should get something nice for him! The husband and wife that run the place were the most down-to-earth people! I wanted to invite them over for dinner! There merchandise was beautiful...and not that I know a lot about jewelry...but it seemed surprisingly affordable! Don't get me wrong...there were some high-end pieces with lots of sparkly diamonds that were out of my league...but I found a real nice white-gold band that was really affordable. I wish I had more people that I had to buy jewelry for! I would love to frequent them again! read more

My mother has been going to Holtzmann's for over 10 years. They have designed beautiful jewelry for her, so it was only natural for her to send my fiancé there when he was planning to propose. They designed an incredible one of a kind ring that fits perfectly on my finger. My fiancé told them what he was looking to spend, and he paid exactly what they quoted him. My ring does not look like a ring you would buy at the mall, and I am constantly getting compliments from people I interact with. read more

these guys were awesome. my friend told me about this place when i was looking for an engagement ring for my now fiance.. she said yes. they were very knowledgeable and amazingly nice throughout the whole process, even though i really had no clue what i was doing. i highly recommend them. read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced! The two men that regularly work in the store are extremely rude, especially when they realize you're just looking. I was completely ignored and talked down too. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this jeweler! I just got engaged last weekend and had been working with Holtzmann's for months on the ring...and wow did it turnout gorgeous. I had shopped other stores, but never received the service that I did at Holtzmann's. They truly value the long-term relationship and realize that their best advertising is word-of-mouth when someone says, 'Wow, that is a gorgeous ring, where did you get it?' Buying an engagement ring can be an intimidating purchase, but my experience was enjoyable and felt nothing like 'a sale.' Not only was the service superb, but the price was very fair. They worked with my budget to maximize my value and my fiance is in love with her 3-carat ring. We will definitely be buying future pieces there for years to come...from wedding bands, to earrings, necklaces, rings, you name it. The owners feel like old friends. Lastly, we stopped in tonight to say 'thank you' and share some engagement pictures and they threw another great perk our way...again, they get it and value the long-term relationship! read more

We found a phenomenal engagement ring here. The ring was quite unique compared to the many other stores we visited. The owners - two brothers- were more focused on helping us find something tasteful than large / expensive. I'd definitely recommend paying these guys a visit if you want something tasteful and maybe a bit different. read more

Few places have true class and elegance any more and Holtzmann's does it. I really feel i was treated with honesty and respect. The Jewelry is modern, unique, and fantastic. They set the trends not follow them. I feel i got an excellent value and am excited to shop there again read more

Went in for very simple (inexpensive) repair and I was so happy with Pam's fabulous customer service. I have had some less than stellar experiences at a place nearby...but this will be where I go from now on! Thank you Pam!! read more
