Honest, Fair, and Truly One of a Kind…read more I recently sold some silver to Bill, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. He gave me a fair, transparent price and treated me with absolute professionalism. What really stood out, though, was the integrity of Bill and his team. After I left the store, one of his staff caught a mistake in my math that had shorted me $200. Bill personally called me right away, explained the error, and offered to stay late or mail the difference--whichever was easiest for me. That kind of honesty and customer service is rare these days. I've been to plenty of jewelers over the years, but none like Bill. I'm a lifelong fan--he's simply the best. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and kind, look no further.

Prior to becoming a…read moreclient, I did volunteer work for PAWS (a non-for profit), and Bess Friedham's very generously supported this group. When shopping for our engagement ring we visited all of the local jewelers. Not only did we find the most unique ring around, but the quality and the value were outstanding. Then a few years later I had a number of pieces of existing jewelry disassembled and custom made into some outstanding pieces that are one-of-a-kinds. Talk about the compliments I receive! Wendy (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable and willing to spend the time to share her expertise with her clients. What a "gem" of a store. You can't go wrong! When it came time for jewelry, there is only one place I trust explicitly and that's this store!

I thought it would be fixed in house, but they send it out to downtown Chicago. I wanted an estimate for the repairs....but they fixed it without giving me the estimate first!

Well, I had the watch back for under a week and one of the links snagged my sweater. I returned to the jewelry shop and they made all kinds of excuses as to why they were not responsible....

I was asked to help sell the crown and I first tried the mail in service who I sold a bunch of old silver forks and stuff to, but the price they offered was nowhere close to the market rate for the gold. So I got it back and took it to A to Z, remembering they're a pawn shop not just a store. The service was friendly like always. I handed over the crown and wandered around while he weighed and tested it to determine purity. When they had an offer ready for me it was a lot better than the other place and closer to what I was expecting. We made the deal and I got paid in cash. My loved one was happy and so was I with the fair business conducted here. And like I mentioned in my older review, they have some cool merch in their store and the prices are fair.

Without his store front on Jefferson Street? I swear to God, I would think the world is ending. The quality of his jewelry knows no end! I have seen rare volcanic diamonds that could only be obtained by crossing the world over. Dave Nelson is one of those people that you rarely, if ever, come across in a lifetime. If you have jewelry that you need him to validate? He is always the first one to be generous enough to do it, even if there's nothing to validate in an endless pile. No one else does this, trust me, I have tried. When my mother passed from breast cancer? I had so much questionable jewelry and there was no one or where to go that would check it all, except Dave. He was there for me, professionally, and always has been. Dave is exceptionally generous. His son is also one of my very best friends. If I could cover all of the times that Dave was there for me as child? I would. How many times he put dinner on the table for me while I had none? How many times he stuck up for me to bullies? How many times he had pig roasts and invited the entire community? I could go on, forever. This place? These people? They defy quality and kindness. They show you the very definition of "Class".

When it comes to engagement rings I know you ladies would *like* to think your man knows your…read moretastes in jewelry as well as they know you. That's why I'm sure most guys get the standard "I know you'll pick out something I love" or "Anything you get for me will amazing and I'll love it." Well if your guy is anything like me, he's COMPLETELY CLUELESS. Leave us to our own devices and you'll end up with a much better car stereo than what's going to sit on your finger. So why not leave it to the professionals instead? Guy Blando runs private business with generations of jewelry experience. You won't find the cookie cutter conveyor belt atmosphere like Robbins Brothers. When you walk through the door, try not to get panicked about the lack of display jewelry. That's not what these guys do and if you want cookie cutter jewelry, this probably isn't the place for you. If you want something special with a bit of personality, Guy's your man. For people unfamiliar with the 4 C's (color, cut, clarity, carat) and for the guys, the 5th and most important C (cost). Guy takes care of all C's. All diamond virgins have to attend Guy's Diamond 101 class. This is where he sits you in one of his offices, teaches all the C's, and the leaves you to inspect and learn through practice. There are a lot of skanky jewelers out there, this will at least help you see through their scams. When the search for your perfect gemstone begins, you get to tap into Guy's expertise and his network of dealers to find the right stone with the right price. I had a great time working with all Guy and his personable staff. He helped me design a custom engagement ring based on my pictures and sketches and made sure everything met my exact specifications. The end result? I got the perfect ring made from scratch without having to pull my hair out during the process. You can entrust your big purchase to chains or snooty stores that have no interest other than lightening your wallet, why would you? Give Guy Blando a visit and he'll make sure you walk away happy (and definitely more knowledgeable).

Guy is great! My hubby Dan was brought to Guy by his sisters. It seems the whole family goes to him…read moreand luckily for me, my hubby never needed Guy until me. =) Dan went in for my engagement ring and Guy gave him the Diamonds 101 lesson. Guy's belief... Every man should know about diamonds and how to get the best for their budget. He sent my hubby home with a small list of questions to ask me so they could design a ring that was for me! I love my engagement ring!!! my hubby has great taste and it's all with the help of the great knowledge about women, diamonds and jewelery that Guy Blando has. We went back for our wedding sets and he took the time to listen to what I wanted. My ring set is custom designed and custom sized to fit me! My husband even had Blando design a pendant for me for my wedding gift. We've been married for 2-1/2 years, we're now returning to Guy for an "upgrade" on my engagement diamond. Guy brings in diamonds for me to view so I can have the diamond I want and we can afford. We've brought my brother & his fiance in for their settings and they feel safe trusting him. He's designing their rings while they return home (San Diego)! I have also met several people wearing Guy Blando rings (the telltale flat bottom) and they all had positive things to say about their rings.

I am so excited to be engaged to the man of my dreams AND have a beautiful ring that will last a lifetime! They kept me up to date on the process and I got my ring WAY before I expected it! I can't wait to get my wedding bands because I know these guys will deliver TOP quality at the most affordable price. If I would have gone to any of the stores like Jared or Kay's I would have had to pay an arm and a leg. They really know what they are doing and won't disappoint!! 5 stars is not nearly enough!!!
