Jewelry Selections: 4 Service: 5+…read more I had read some great reviews of Novak Jewelers and the work/craftsmanship of Greg Novak. I had to check it out for myself. My boyfriend and I were out on a mission, looking for engagement rings, and this was our first stop. Novak Jewelers is located in a brand new shopping mall on Clayton Rd., fairly close to Hwy 141. Upon entering their shop, you sense an immediate feeling of intimacy and warmth. While their jewelry selections are smaller than other stores, the quality and uniqueness of the individual items are what makes Novak Jewelers different from anywhere else. I didn't want an engagement ring that looked like everyone else's. I wanted something different. We were greeting by Greg's daughter and I immediately explained what we were looking for, what we had to work with (including a family heirloom ring), and several photos from Pinterest that I had saved. In 2 minutes she brought me 2 rings. One of them immediately caught my eye. The people here are genuine. They don't push you into buying something you don't want or need. They listen to your concerns and address them if possible. I can't imagine doing business with anyone else...

She is a great listener and understood exactly what we were looking for. The final ring was even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and I can't wait for us to continue patronizing Hufford's for our wedding bands, and more in the future. The service is great, the prices are fair, and the experience was all-around wonderful.

The stones were beautiful but I wanted something a little bit separated from the diamond trade industry. I reached out to Lori wanting a simple round brilliant solitare in yellow recycled gold. We were able to talk on the phone and exchange emails with photos of what I wanted. Lori and my fiance finished the deal. The ring is beautiful and it was presented to me with a little wooden box and a photo book of where the stone came from and the process of it being made. These little details made an already exciting event extra special!! Lori was able to fine a beautiful solitaire stone that had been sold in order for the previous owner to upgrade. Gerson was able to make the perfect setting. Not only is my ring gorgeous but it also has a story. From the metal to the stone everything lived a little bit of life before it came to me. Thank you so much Hidden Gem Lab!! I look at this beauty every day and am a little more in love with this ring. Also my fiance is pretty great too :)

I'm glad that I get to be the first re review, as I'm a HUGE fan of this place. Also listed as…read moreBartel's Gallery in the phone book, this is a quaint family owned Jewelry and Antique shop in Frontenac on the other side of Clayton from the main plaza, in Le Chateau village. The owner's son Mark is the main contact at the site, and he's fantastic to work with. There is no pressure, and no question too stupid, which is a big deal for being a young person that knows NOTHING about jewelry. I went in on the referral of a friend to look at buying my engagement ring, and was instantly greeted with a no pressure sales attitude. A few Logistics notes for you: 1.) It's primarily an antique shop with antique (very unique) jewelry throughout the shop. It's not your standard 15 glass lit case store with a bajillion options. 2.) While Mark and his store have GREAT options, it's more of a "I've got an idea, now go make it or find it" kind of shop. I would suggest getting ideas elsewhere if you have a specific piece, and then take it to him and he'll make it better. 3.) I wouldn't call this a buy same day you shop location, definitely give yourself some time to look. Mark is a great guy, instantly understanding how important jewelry purchases can be. He doesn't expect anything out of his customers, and it always up front and honest about quality of his own pieces as well as some industry knowledge of other main stream and local shops I will buy all my jewelry from Mark. My wife loved her custom engagement and wedding ring, and everytime we go in she sees something else (go figure) she wants. If you're looking for specific items in the antique line Mark will either have it or find it for you through his extensive contacts. Be sure to go in and see him. Hours are Monday - Friday during normal business times. If he's not in when you get there he'll be back soon usually bringing back some great new items. I've been made a fan of small boutique jewelers as opposed to those Sam's Club locations like Shane Co. and Jared. One stop in and you'll think the same thing.

Mark only uses GIA Certified Diamonds, and actually worked for GIA asan instructor on grading diamonds.

Later in the year, he bought a beautiful blue topaz necklace that he designed at Bartel's for me, and it was a sight to behold! We are now designing our wedding bands with Mark, and are excited to work with him for all of our future jewelry needs!
