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!!

Being able to see the design evolve before production gave me confidence that we were creating exactly what I had envisioned. Danny was also more than willing to work with outside stones and even provided a wax model so I could see and feel the ring before it was cast. The level of flexibility, transparency, and attention to detail made all the difference. Beyond his craftsmanship, Danny is simply an amazing person to work with!

I've had the pleasure of working with Victor from Lincoln Park Gems for a years now, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Victor is an exceptionally skilled gemologist and jewelry maker who truly has a passion for his craft. His attention to detail is unmatched, and he takes the time to ensure that each piece is perfect. I brought in a vintage timepiece that needed some restoration, and Victor was able to breathe new life into it. He meticulously repaired it, and it now looks and functions better than ever. His expertise in both watches and jewelry is evident, and he provided invaluable advice on how to care for my pieces. Additionally, the atmosphere at Lincoln Park Gems is welcoming and friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable. Victor's dedication to his clients and his craft shines through in every interaction. If you're looking for a talented gemologist or someone to fix your timepiece, look no further than Victor. He is truly a gem in the industry! read more

I have rave reviews of this shop in Lincoln Park! Not only is it super close to my apartment, but Victor was a pleasure to interact with when I took my engagement ring in for repairs. There was no wait, Victor really listened to what I needed for the repair and he helped my fiancé choose the size, type and style wedding band he will wear. My repair was done in two hours and Victor even cleaned my ring - which is now sparkling, repaired and beautiful. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for a repair as well as a new jewelry purchase. I wish we would have known about this shop when searching for engagement rings - I'm sure it would have been the same experience then. Great find!! read more
