Here is the revised Yelp version with the company and watch brand names removed:…read more **No to Jules -- YES!!!! to Alexa and Rachel.** Alexa and Rachel are wonderful representatives of this jeweler: helpful, sincere, professional, and welcoming. My experience with Jules was the opposite. That is my opinion. Accept it or disregard it. I will buy here in the future **BECAUSE of Alexa and Rachel, DESPITE my interactions with Jules.** I visited the Highland Park location to have four luxury watches sized, timed, function-tested, and assessed for possible service. The store is an authorized dealer for two of the brands. I clearly explained that the watches had been purchased through reputable secondary-market sources and that I was **not** requesting formal authentication or a certificate. I simply wanted an experienced professional to examine them and tell me whether anything appeared obviously wrong. The first person I spoke with understood the distinction. She appropriately explained that official authentication would require sending the watches through service, but said they could size them, time them, and give them a general examination. When I called again to confirm that the appropriate staff would be available, Jules repeatedly interrupted me and sternly emphasized that they would not tell me the watches were "authentic." I was not asking them to do that. When I arrived, Rachel greeted me and listened to what I was requesting. Jules then called out from across the counter that she had **"ALREADY EXPLAINED WHAT THEY WOULD DO--SIZE AND TIME!"** That was unnecessary, unprofessional, and embarrassing. Rachel took over and handled the situation appropriately. Alexa later assisted with the sizing. Both clearly reiterated that the store could not certify authenticity, which I completely understood, but they also gave the watches a professional look and said they did not see anything that immediately caused concern. That is all I had requested. Spotting something obviously wrong is not the same as formally certifying authenticity. Asking for one is not demanding the other. If an authorized luxury-watch dealer cannot recognize an obvious concern while handling and sizing a watch, then both the dealer and the customer have a larger problem. A relationship with a jeweler **IS A RELATIONSHIP.** It is built, cultivated, and curated over time. Every interaction either strengthens that relationship or erodes it. Luxury retailers should remember that they do not know what a customer may purchase, trade, service, or recommend in the future. The long view matters more than proving who is "right" or who is in charge. I sincerely hope this feedback is shared with Jules constructively. This is not written merely to embarrass or criticize her. If management believes my perspective has value, I hope she is given the opportunity to hear it, reflect on it, and learn from it. Everyone can have a poor interaction or an off day. What matters is what someone does with the feedback. Alexa and Rachel understood the distinction and represented the store exceptionally well. They are the reason I would return.

We have been customers for the past 16 years and not only have we purchased Rolex and Cartier…read morewatches there, but I've also had many watches serviced there. We have also recommended this place to our siblings & friends and they have purchased from them and I will no longer do so. I had purchased a pre-owned Rolex last year out of state and we wanted to get it serviced. But. They refused to do it! The watchmaker "heard" and called the lady at the front desk to tell her to tell me that they wouldn't service my watch. There is technically nothing wrong with the watch however because it was bought used and not CPO so we don't know when the last time it was serviced. The watch is approximately 20 years old. (we did get box & papers with it ) They always say you should get it serviced every 8 to 10 years so since we have no clue, when was the last service, I brought it in to be serviced. I think they didn't want work on it because it was a watch that was purchased outside of their store. Because I really don't understand why they would turn me away. I'm a loyal customer bringing in a Rolex to be serviced but not anymore. I am stunned. Awful customer service!

I will never do business with them again and strong urge everyone else not to do business with them.

When I noticed they didn't have any I was a bit worried about leaving my nicest watch there, but figured it was worth stopping in. As soon as I walked in I received lots of attention even when they realized I was there JUST for a watch battery. I was still a bit worried about leaving my watch there, but decided it was probably OK since a) they mentioned they'd been in business 35 years b) had a lovely selection of jewelry & c) the rent next to sunset foods has to be somewhat high so they must do A-OK selling jewelry They gave me a receipt (complete with a pic of my watch) and told me they'd be in touch in about a week. They did mention there could be a slight delay due to the holidays. When I didn't hear from them for a week I called them myself and got VM. Jacqueline herself returned my call and let me know they were taking vacation for the holidays. As soon as they opened their doors after the holidays I got a call that my watch was ready. I picked it up the very next day and it was ticking away! Hopefully the next time I stop in here is for a bit of jewelry shopping. They have a nice selection at different price points.

After 34 wonderful years of marriage, my wife and I decided it was time to celebrate with a truly extraordinary diamond ring. Irv made the entire experience unforgettable. He patiently guided us through every step of selecting the perfect 3.0-carat radiant-cut diamond, D color, VVS2 clarity, and helped us pair it with a stunning 18-karat gold setting. The finished ring is absolutely breathtaking. What sets Irv apart is not just his deep knowledge of diamonds and fine jewelry, but his integrity, honesty, and genuine passion for helping his customers. There was never any pressure--only thoughtful guidance, exceptional attention to detail, and a sincere desire to make sure we found exactly the right piece. Buying fine jewelry is about more than gemstones; it's about creating lasting memories. Thanks to Irv, this experience became one of those special moments my wife and I will always remember. His professionalism, craftsmanship, and personal service are second to none. If you're considering a significant jewelry purchase, do yourself a favor and visit Irv at Allura Fine Jewelers. You will be treated with respect, honesty, and expertise, and you'll leave with something truly exceptional. He has earned our highest recommendation, and we look forward to returning for many years to come.

I think the store is worth a look, as the Cullen's various interests and travels have brought some interesting pieces into the store. And there is definitely a mesmerizing collection of estate and antique jewelry (always my favorites). Oh and important to mention --- the store does not jack up prices like the chains do. The markup is minimum which means the customers are getting the most for their money. Any questions - feel free to ask! P.S. They do custom work, repairs, special orders, bridesmaid and groomsman gifts, great selection of charms, giftware, sterling and plate frames, clocks, and on and on.
