Such a special find. If you're in Chicago and care about jewelry that actually has something to say, stop in.

I've been following A&T on IG for what feels like forever and finally visited their Logan Square boutique. The interior is gorgeous- like Wednesday Adams meets Selena Gomez. I was a bit surprised to not find more jewelers - most pieces that are in the store, you've already seen on their IG. There's not many pieces that you haven't seen. There were definite collections (some by the owner Viviana) but I was expecting more options for the large space. Their bridal case is gorgeous with several of options to get your creative mind going- both for engagement rings and wedding bands. Very cool alternatives to "mall jewelry stores"! Yes yes yes! I walked out with a teeny charm to add to my neck mess and a curb chain earring. The curb chain earring was 14k gold with a CZ at the end with a pricing just under $300. Pairing real with not real was a bit silly to me, I wanted either less (vermeil with the CZ) or more (14k with a diamond... I also still purchased because it was so damn cool. Cool pieces, cool staff, cool interior! You could just as easily shop their IG but going in to shop is fun! read more

Absolutely love this jewelry shop. First came for a Yelp event and purchased some Vanessa Chan earrings. I got some good news lately and want to treat myself to something nice. On this occasion, I came after brunch with a friend. We were helped out by Madison. She also helped me the last time and actually remembered my taste in jewelry. This time I didn't find what I was looking for my new jewelry piece. There was some lovely items but out the price range I wanted to spend on this occasion. Of course I would want the $1400 delicate diamond ring. Lol. However I will be back in May to see if they got some different items. My friend grabbed this gorgeous green (Tourmaline) ring. Girlfriend is lucky she saw it before me as I really did like it and it was in my price range for self-present. Oh well next time. Check this Latinx owned business. If you are lucky, the owner will be there. The owner is not only an artist but so knowledgeable about jewelry. Really enjoyed visiting with her last time. She also does custom pieces. If you are looking for a personalized item, consider a consultation with the owner. read more

Oh my...this store is FANTASTIC! Popped in after the infamous Logan square farmers market as my hubby and I were just walking by. The jewelry in here is FANTASTIC. They offer several artist's pieces and collections. I loved it! I could've bought almost the entire store! I bought two different earring sets that were the cutest studs! I am more interested in quality, one of a kind pieces over quantity. The staff was all super nice and helpful as well. I most definitely will be back! read more

I cannot gush enough about my love for Adornment + Theory. When my partner and I got engaged and married, I KNEW without a shadow of a doubt that I wanted to get custom diamond heirloom rings made by Viviana. She worked with me and my partner to use diamonds from both of our deceased mothers' rings and tweaked them in CAD til each of us was 10000000% satisfied with the engagement/wedding band designs. Adornment + Theory also engraved the insides of each of our rings with special symbols that mean something to both of us. You could tell the whole time they were entirely focused on what we wanted and not on making an upsell. My partner wanted to wear her mom's plain gold band, so they polished it up for us (instead of trying to sell us a new one). When the engravings came out different than we expected, they corrected the engravings quickly and at no additional charge to us. I saw my wedding band/crown for the first time on my wedding day and it absolutely took my breath away. I wish I could get married again just so I could work with the incredible team at Adornment + Theory. What a gem of a jewelry store!!! read more

Worked with Madison and the team at Adornment & Theory to build out a custom engagement ring for my fiancé. They were fantastic from start to finish, with a great detailed and iterative approach, giving us sketches, a CAD design, and ultimately the completed ring. They were great allowing me to provide my own diamond, customizing the design, and even accommodating some awesome personal touches (embedded stones inside the band). We're working with them now on wedding bands, and having a similarly awesome experience. Great local business to support, can't recommend them enough. Thanks so much! read more

Viviana was a great partner in designing my anniversary ring. She is so creative and truly listens to her client's needs. I am grateful to both her and her team for being so professional and kind. read more

What a lovely store! I saw a ring on their instagram and as a surprise my husband went in and worked with Viviana to get correct sizing and even found another style that I loved even more. Can't wait to purchase more pieces from their selection of artists! read more

I LOVE this jewelry store. They have such incredible pieces and the people who work there are friendly and helpful. I had a custom piece made by Viviana and the entire process went perfectly. Everyone was responsive and gave me great guidance. I was spending more than I ever have on jewelry and was a bit nervous about customizing (I had my eye on this design for over a year). They made me feel comfortable the whole way through. And the rings are exquisite. I am thrilled with how they turned out and receive so many compliments on them. Highly recommend this boutique! read more

The team at Adornment Theory designed a beautiful ring for me that I love. After the death of my beloved husband, I asked Viviana to combine my engagement and wedding ring into one and add beautiful stones of color to symbolize how, after a devastating loss, life itself is still a great gift and can once again become full and colorful. The ring symbolizes that beautifully. read more

Madison was absolutely fabulous. The epitome of customer service and the designs are unique and exquisite. I am so happy that I found this place simply walking the neighborhood for work. I found a pair of earrings by Jennie Dowie that were absolutely gorgeous. A must visit hidden gem in Logan Square. read more

I purchased a ring from here that they had apparently outsourced. I had the ring for a few months when I noticed that two stones were missing. I reached out to Adornment + Theory and they sent the ring out to get repaired. When I went to pick it up they said that there was going to be a $90 fee for the repair which they didn't tell me before handing it in. I was under the impression when I handed in the ring that there would be no additional fee. I paid $350 for the ring, a $90 fee on top of that would have made the ring very expensive for a ring I had less than a year and wasn't good quality. They ended up waiving the fee and reassured me that the jeweler had fixed the ring and it wouldn't happen again. Sure enough, 2 months later a stone was missing. At this point, the piece seemed faulty. I had asked if I could exchange it or pay more money for a different piece as I didn't want to continue to have this issue. They refused and said that I could come in and I would have to pay for the repair (keep in mind I still have not had the ring for a year). I would qualify a $350 piece of jewelry as a "fine" piece of jewelry so to have to deal with these issues with no sense of remorse about selling faulty jewelry is such bad customer service. I refused to work with the company and am now working directly with the jeweler who was nothing but apologetic. I understand that they aren't at fault for the jeweler's quality of work but as a business, if you choose to sell another artist's ring, and increase the price of the ring to make a profit you are accepting the burden of any problems that arise to ensure that your customers want to return and have a good experience. read more

Love love love for amazing, unique jewelry and custom options! I love Adornment and Theory! Viviana does an amazing job of sourcing unique jewelry that satisfies every taste! I've purchased so many items from here for friends and loved ones. Keep a look out for her selection during father's day as well, as she has an amazing selection of great gifts for dads. I am working with her to do a personalized initial 'mom' necklace and she worked so closely with me to ensure I got a design that I will forever love. This is the place to go for a sentimental gift or 'treat yo self' present that will get so many head turns! read more

My husband and I went through various Jewelers before finding Viviana and her team. No one could accomplish what our limited knowledge in jewelry making thought possible with his grandma's wedding ring set. Given it's age and sentimentality, Viviana offered a beautiful solution for a new ring stack, which included restructuring the original yellow and white gold wedding band to fit instead of melting it down as others painfully suggested. Both the new engagement ring and 3rd stack were designed in the same spirit of the original and we couldn't be happier with the communication throughout the process. She was respectful to budget, providing various options and in her ability to create CAD drawings/renderings put her on a level that exceeded my expectations. We now have a modernized heirloom to continue to pass down for generations. Thank you so much! read more

I popped in here to get my ring finger sized and in search for some earring backs. The ladies could not have been nicer. After sizing me they actually offered to give me the earring backs, free of charge. I loved their jewelry and will be back in the future when in search of something unique and special. read more

This is an amazing place! Viviana was so nice and helpful! She made sure we got exactly we we wanted and were happy with every step of the experience. She helped us through the design process and made something truly beautiful and unique. I would recommend Adornment and Theory to anyone who is looking for jewelry for any occasion. Our engagement would not have been the same without this Experience! 10/10 read more

LOVE THIS STORE! They have such incredibly unique pieces and I love the attention they pay to the designers they carry. I also appreciate that the pricing really ranges, so I don't feel like my wallet is always taking a huge hit. read more

Shoutout to Bianca! She made my rings absolutely beautiful!! I work at a company a few doors down so I can't help going into this amazing business but really I just go in to see what Bianca is going to show me and she has amazing taste, great service, and such a good eye for each person's style. This business is awesome!!!! read more

I really enjoy the storefront shop here as well as offerings online. Super happy with my purchase and love love my necklace!

I'm gonna come out of Yelp retirement just to give this store some love- I stopped in here on a long weekend in Chicago and it was one of the highlights of my weekend. The store has so many lovely things and it's so well curated. I bought a great necklace and this amazing pair of earrings and I got so many unsolicited compliments from strangers about them just that day just walking around in them! They have since become one of my favorite statement earrings and they continue to garner compliments. Also: the girls at the shop were the sweetest and so helpful and Viviana talked with us about where to eat while we were visiting. Also: we saw her the next day randomly and she remembered us! I love customer service when it's that genuine. So go ahead and find your next favorite piece of jewelry. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often but the next time I'm in Chicago you know I'm coming by! read more

I'm a 35 year old dude and this is the first Yelp review I have ever done. I am doing so because the experience was that great! I was about to ring shop with my girlfriend a few months ago. We went down to Jewelers Row and had a very blah experience. A lot of the rings and diamonds were nice, but they all looked the same. Also, the gentleman who helped us out would only look at me when my now fiancé asked him questions. It was pretty weird. I could tell my lady didn't love the experience. Luckily, earlier in the week, I had a friend mention how A & T was a cool spot in the neighborhood and they had some cool jewelry. I mentioned this to my fiancé and then she researched Viviana and A & T and liked her and the store's vibe. From there, everything was a great experience. The consultation was neat getting to know Viviana and having her and my lady on the same page. They talked different ideas and my better half said she wanted to do a Trinity Knot to honor her Irish heritage and my name. After a week or two, Viviana then came up with 4 awesome sketches for us. We then talked about those, picked one and workshopped it. Viviana then was great with the whole diamond process. She worked with our budget and helped educate us on diamonds. The important thing was she gave us a lot of options. Then, she did a CAD model and explained how it would look at the final stage. I went on a little vacation and then the ring was there and it was beautiful! It was everything my fiancé wanted and then some. We are so happy with it and I catch her staring at it regularly! I would highly recommend Viviana since she is immensely talented, hard working and generous with her time! Also, even if you're not getting an engagement ring, there's a ton of cool and interesting jewelry in the store. read more

This store was my go-to over the holidays. They have really unique pieces and a range of prices. I bought a few pairs of earrings as gifts - and they all got rave reviews. The ladies that run the store could not be nicer. I first went into browse and never felt pressured to buy something...and I've been back three times since for gifts. read more

I LOVE this place!! It's my go to spot for unique and beautifully made jewelry. Anytime friends come to visit, I always make sure to take them here and they've always purchased something unique. Masks are always worn and the staff are super helpful. read more

Adornment and Theory is my favorite stop when I'm in Logan Square. They have a great mix of affordable fun jewelry as well as beautiful high end pieces. Viviana has also designed a few custom rings for friends of mine and I am always amazed at their beauty and uniqueness. I've bought so many gifts for myself and others and she always brings in new and unique artists to keep us coming back! I love supporting women-owned businesses, especially when the products and customer service exceed expectations. read more

Love this new addition to the neighborhood! Walked in today not realizing it was something separate from the vision place next door and was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful jewelry, scarves, bags and other goodies. Even some stuff for guys. Will be sending my hubbie here for gifts for me read more
