Jon is an expert who you can trust to give you the best advice as well as fair advice. I recently asked him to replace a diamond on my wedding band, and he told me all he needed to do was rotate the diamond. He could have easily told me it needed replacement, which would have cost me way more, and I would have had no idea. He is honest and dang good at his job.

I began researching jewelers in the area to resize my engagement ring and found TDC on Yelp. They…read morewere the first place I called because I saw Jon takes the time to thank reviews--I thought that was awesome. When I called, the first thing Jon did was talk me through the process of resizing a ring based on the metal type and style. He was very informative and kind. I called a couple of other places and immediately knew Jon was the go-to person. I took my ring in a few days later. The building did through me off (it's a big office building, when I expected a stand-alone store. Just FYI incase you think you're in the wrong place.) Inside of the store had a great atmosphere and Jon again was super helpful! The ring was ready in 4 days and when we picked it up, he also helped us look through some wedding band ideas for my fiancé. We may go back to get his band from TDC. If not, we know we have a jeweler we can trust for future needs. Thanks for a great experience, Jon!

Some time ago we brought our $10,000 + Piaget watch to Timothy Grant Jewelry in Lake Zurich, IL for…read morea simple battery replacement. Although we did not know it at the time, the person who helped us broke two of the four screws that hold the back of the watch on. The person then handed us a small plastic bag containing the parts that used to be the watch. She said we would have to send the watch somewhere to be fixed. We then wrote a review of the incident on Yelp. A representative of Timothy Grant Jewelry called and asked us to bring back the bag of watch parts for repair. We came back with the bag and Timothy Grant Jewelry "repaired" the watch and asked us to take down the Yelp review, which we did. We paid for the new battery and left the establishment. This month the watch needed a new battery. We took the watch to a reputable jeweler. When he opened the watch to replace the battery, he told us that 2 of the 4 screws that hold the back to the watch are broken and the heads of the screws were glued in to present the appearance that the watch is whole. We then attempted to communicate with Timothy Grant Jewelry to resolve our issue. There has to date been no response from Timothy Grant Jewelry. We have had three negative experiences, first he broke the screws that held our watch together and handed us a bag of parts that used to be our watch, second he claimed he fixed the watch but fooled us with a fake repair by gluing the heads of screws to the watch, third he would to respond to us in any way to resolve the issue.

I've purchased two rings from Rodgers and Hollands in Vernon Hills. The first time was a quick,…read moreeasy, experience for a promise ring. The second time I went in wanting to design an engagement ring from scratch. The manager, Stephanie, needs HUGE kudos. She was/is amazing. She sat me down and went over all of the aspects of designing a ring. She then explained the differences in diamonds; clarity, size, cut, color, symmetry, etc. She called 3-4 other stores for diamonds along the lines of what I wanted (a marquise), and even ordered a bunch of diamonds from one of their vendors. All for me to look at and compare. A week later they were in and she spent over two hours with me comparing the different diamonds and bands to hep me decide what I liked best. Not once was she pushy about selling anything, which I sincerely appreciated. All she wanted was for me to come up with something within (or under) my budget, that I would be happy with and that my soon-to-be fiancé would be happy with. Even to the point where she told me she did not like a slightly more expensive diamond, that I was looking for, with what I was wanting. The ring took about a week to make and the other staff were also fantastic. I will only ever be back to Rodgers and Hollands for all of my jewelry, and soon needed wedding bands, because of her and the experience I had!

I came in with my…read moreboyfriend's mother to look at engagement rings, which should have been an exciting and special moment. When I told the sales associate that I was looking for engagement rings for myself, she simply pointed to a section and said they were "over there." That section turned out to be entirely lab-grown diamonds. When I politely asked if they had any natural diamond rings to view, her attitude immediately changed. She responded in a dismissive tone saying you "get more for your money with lab-grown diamonds." I explained that I understood but still had a personal preference for a natural diamond. Instead of being helpful, she seemed irritated and said they could only show us the ring setting and then the diamond separately. We agreed to see them. My boyfriend's mother, who is elderly and speaks English as a second language, was trying her best to understand whether the diamonds were "real" or "fake." Rather than responding with patience or kindness, the associate became visibly annoyed and spoke to her in a condescending tone, saying, "This is a real diamond, it's just made differently than a natural diamond." The way she spoke to my boyfriend's mother was completely unacceptable. Jewelry shopping--especially for engagement rings--should feel welcoming and respectful, not uncomfortable or belittling. Between the dismissive attitude and lack of professionalism, we quickly realized this store did not value our business and chose to leave. I would not recommend this location if you're looking for respectful customer service or guidance during such an important purchase.

We'll see what happens when I return to see if they could get a hot mess of tangled necklaces…read moreuntangled. Based on all the reviews Ive seen of this place, it's either hit or miss. I came into get my wedding band and engagement ring cleaned and inspected and all went well but then I asked if they could untangle necklaces. They said they could and boy, did they have their work cut out with my tangled mess but I believe in miracles so we'll see. When my fiance and I initially walked in, there's definitely an air of judgement that isn't good and you can feel it. Eyes on you and following you like dangers, it's quite uncomfortable. At least they cleaned my rings but we'll see what happens with the necklaces. The prices they change are exorbitant but we'll see if their work lives up to the hype. As I hadn't mentioned earlier, this wasn't my first time here but last time I was here, the customer service and all around environment was nice and welcoming. Today was a different vibe and it was quite a shame...

The prior owners set a really high bar on customer service. I wasn't sure if the new owners would be able to meet the expectations the prior owners had set. I don't know how they do it, but they EXCEED the prior customer service even. I'm not one that is great with "Hallmark" holidays, but I know they are important to my wife. Bri from Bay Area Diamond Company ensured that I was able to surprise my wife with an amazing gift this y ear for Valentine's Day! My wife was in for her free inspection and jewelry cleaning in January. My wife was browsing and Bri secretly messaged me my wife's favorite selection. That alone was incredibly valuable, BUT Bri did even better. Bri helped encourage me to come in by providing very friendly reminders that Valentine's Day was fast approaching. I was swamped with work, so Bri continued to help further by offering to drop off the gift (along with the free dozen roses from their promo) at my work, so there were absolutely no excuses to not completely WOW my wife. Needless to say, my wife was blown away when she received the gift. She couldn't figure out how I knew her favorite selection. :) I had to reveal that Bri was my secret weapon. Thanks Bri for saving the day!
