When I picked it up, I cried. The team didn't just do the work, they treated it like it mattered, because they understood that it did. That's not something you can fake, and it's not something every jeweler knows how to do. They also helped me pick out a wedding band, which somehow felt less like shopping and more like sitting with people who genuinely wanted me to find the right one. No pressure, no pushing, just honest expertise. And when I needed a watch appraised, Brett Fuenfer took the time to walk me through everything. His knowledge is the kind you only get from someone who deeply loves the craft, and the care he brings shows in every interaction. To Brett and the entire Fuenfer team, thank you. You turned three separate visits into moments I won't forget.

This was my ring before I brought it in. It was scuffed and bent out of shape.

After I brought it in, it was better than new and resized perfectly.

It must've been clear to jewelers. I see the rate Tiffany Rolex seeking for stunning prices. I was and am still stunned Manny would take advantage of me and the family. He literally stole from me in that exchange. The Bertolucci isn't worth $1k today. When Shelle jewelers is mentioned, this story is told. Shame on Manny & son.

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.

After getting our appraisals and getting our jewelry back, the watch they appraised and cleaned was…read morerunning very slow. It was not that way when I dropped it off for appraisal. We paid $50 extra to have the watch cleaned, so assumed they were cleaning the entire watch. When I called to ask if they could take a look at and fix the watch, they told me to bring it in and they would quote me for the fix. I pushed back and they said this happens sometimes - a watch will be cleaned and coincidentally will develop an unrelated problem. That's when I asked if something could have happened when they cleaned the watch. I was told they only cleaned the band and not the watch itself. This was not what was explained when I agreed to the cleaning. Simply stated, they asked if I wanted the watched cleaned for another $50. I think they probably meant the band but that wasn't how it was proposed to me. The quote was $275 to fix it, I find it is very odd that you drop off a perfectly working watch for appraisal and the timing mechanism develops a problem while just sitting there. I don't understanding but will give Daniel's the benefit of the doubt and agree it must have just been bad timing. I'm still happy with Daniel's Jewelry overall but have to knock off one star for the confusion around the appraisal followed by the repair.

While very knowledgeable, I find their customer service below average. I was in the the store as a rookie, and I almost felt I needed to apologize for my lack of knowledge in buying a diamond. I felt talked down upon for a while. The key for a new customer is to make them feel warm and wanted (while educating them politely); I felt the exact opposite and I will not be going back to them at all. read more

From the least expensive of their quality watches to the highest priced, he never rushed her, explaining all brands. His great customer service resulted in a sale, though somewhat modest. However, as our daughter's career moved forward, she bought other watches at Smart...Ebel, Cartier, and Rolex. You're thinking, "What has this to do with Smart Jewelers in Northbrook?" I'll tell you. Though their location and focus have shifted a bit....ie there are less watches and more beautiful jewelry in their lovely store - what has not changed is their service and expertise. I drove a long way to drop off an Ebel watch to have the battery changed and water tested. They were very careful in taking it in and writing down the serial number of the watch, design, etc, to identify it. I requested a quick turnaround because of a personal timeline. I was completely surprised, and very appreciative when they called much sooner than expected to let me know the watch was ready for pick up. There are many Jewelers to choose from in the Chicago area. Any of them can sell you jewelry and watches. However, if you are looking for something more...people who have been in the jewelry business for decades, who have the knowledge and connections to provide you with the fine, quality jewelry you desire, go to Smart. They can also address your repair needs. 'Smart' jewelers is aptly named - their salespeople are smart, and you'll be smart to stop in.
