Shopping on jeweler's row, this was our worst experience on the whole street. We came looking for a pendant for my mom and the young man helping us didn't know any of the prices, couldn't make any recommendations, and didn't know the selection. At one point, we picked out a very simple pendant that actually cost more somehow than the more complex and intricate ones, and we asked him how that could be possible. He told us he'd have to ask a manager.... but didn't call one over. He just sat futzing with the jewelry displays for at least 2 full minutes while we just stood staring at him. When we finally left in disgust, he cheerily reminded us of their hours and said he hoped we'd find something the next time we came. Definitely no next time for us!

Another diamond fall out within less than one year. This is very disappointing. I will be coming in tomorrow 4/23 for a full refund back.

After having the engagement ring for 2-3 months the ring crack on the back as if I drop or throw it really hard but I didnt. Went back to fix it. Its been 6months of owning the ring, one of the diamond fall out. Yes, they took care of me nicely, but the quality of the ring is very poor as if it was a fake gold.

This jeweler was recommended to us. And we are SO glad it was! Susie Lam is awesome! She was really friendly, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy customers! On the first visit she cleaned my engagement ring for me so that it sparkled next to the wedding rings I was trying on. There wasn't anything I liked already made so I chose 3 rings and told Susie what I liked about each. She designed a custom made palladium wedding band with 26 full cut round diamonds set in a channel setting and fifty full cut round diamonds set on the profile in the channel setting, with a milgrained band. It was absolutely beautiful and I've had a lot of compliments on it. Cost: $2,500 My husband bought a palladium wedding band with a vertical brush in center and high polished edges. Cost: $1,400 After having shopped at some bigger name jewelry stores, we thought the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend this jeweler!

My husband got a new wedding band for our 20 year anniversary. He's obviously very thrilled with the experience, lol. Thanks, Susie and CA!

I have been a customer of CA Jewelers for 23 years. They designed my engagement ring back in the late 90's and are currently working on resetting of my diamond into a new custom ring. My husband and I just happened to walk into their store when we started talking about getting married two decades ago, and we instantly knew we had met our jeweler for life. We have purchased other custom work from CA including the pearl and diamond earrings and necklace I wore on my wedding day, a diamond pendant, several pairs of earrings, and a wedding ring update for my husband after his Christian Bauer moving line wedding ring got so thinned down that it was cutting his finger. CA is a family run business with very warm and friendly customer service, competitive pricing, fair and honest business practices, and creative designs. I highly recommend calling or emailing and asking for Susie. You will feel like you are speaking with a knowledgeable friend. She is very open and giving of her time, and is not at all pushy. She will work within your budget and take time to explain options and show you lots of examples. She makes me feel like I am her most important customer. Don't let the Covid pandemic prevent you from pursuing a jewelry purchase, even a custom one. Susie and I have been working via phone and email during the pandemic, sharing photos and brainstorming ideas for a custom piece. I can't wait to see the final results and will come back and update this review with photos.

This review is long overdue, so let me start at the beginning…read more.. A couple years ago, my boyfriend (now fiancé) purchased a vintage locket for my birthday from Stella Blue Design. Despite not offering it as a service, Angie helped me laser cut and set a picture of him into the heart-shaped locket, only charging me a small fee. I really appreciated her generosity and knew I would return to her shop. About a year ago, I decided it was time to purchase a new gold chain for a pair of cloisonné pendants that belonged to my grandmother. Angie makes her own chains, and she was so patient while I looked at the various patterns and tried on different lengths. I originally planned on buying a single chain to share, but after reviewing my options I decided to purchase two of different pattern and length. The cloisonnés vary in color, shape, and size, and the chains we chose reflected their differences. Angie even added my grandmother's birth stone (peridot) to the clasp of each one! To use her words, these necklaces are now truly "heirloom quality" that I hope to pass down to my future children. Finally, this past fall. My fiancé worked with Angie to create a custom engagement ring. It has the Art Deco style that I love, and it's absolutely perfect. The ring is everything I wanted, and I have received so many compliments. The fact that Angie designed it makes it all the more special to me. Angie is kind, patient, and honest - every quality you would want in a jeweler. Her cozy little shop is welcoming, and everything is artfully arranged. You can feel Angie's passion in her craftsmanship, dedication to quality, and ability to make any project - from a gold chain to an engagement ring - incredibly unique and personal. We will be lifelong clients and will of course be asking Angie to design my wedding band. I will update this review with more pictures as we continue to work with Stella Blue Design. Thank you Angie and the team for all of your help! - Maureen & Tim

The ring itself is absolutely stunning!! Every single one of the little unique touches I was looking for was executed to perfection. I truly could not be happier with how it turned out. We will definitely be returning to dimend SCAASI for our wedding bands and will also be recommending them to all our friends and family. Thank you SO much for everything, Susan, and looking forward to working with you again very soon!

My engagement ring shopping experience with dimend SCAASI was incredibly disappointing. What should…read morehave been a happy and memorable milestone turned into weeks of confusion, stress, and disappointment. My girlfriend and I originally visited the Wabash store and had to return a week later because the initial design and pricing information we received was confusing. Even after leaving a deposit, my girlfriend remained unhappy with the clarity of the design and the price point. Out of curiosity, she looked online at Blue Nile and was able to design the exact ring and wedding band she wanted in under an hour. Blue Nile's price was $1,000 less for the exact same diamond cut and an almost identical design. Their design software makes it so much easier to see & build the ring When I contacted our representative, Isaiah, to cancel the transaction--noting that no manufacturing or shipping had begun--I was told our deposit was non-refundable. Wanting to give them one last opportunity to make things right, I forwarded them the Blue Nile design and pricing. It took dimend SCAASI another week to replicate a design my girlfriend built online in less than an hour. I offered to move forward if they would meet me halfway on the $1,000 price difference. It took them another three days just to counter with a $400 store credit, which I declined. I am now forced to dispute the charge with my credit card company to get my deposit back. Save yourself the unnecessary stress, time, and money. Go to Blue Nile or a similar online retailer, design the exact ring you want and either order it from them or bring the quote & design to a local jeweler and ask them if they can design the same ring at a similar price point. I wish I had done that to start with.

Best Jeweler in Chicago! Pam and Patrick are fabulous! Only place we buy expensive, beautiful…read morejewelry in Chicago. They are the Best!!!!!

This review is LONG overdue…read more After looking online and at a couple of different 'big box' type jewelry stores for an engagement ring and just not finding what we wanted, we decided we wanted to go the route of having a custom ring made, and so we ended up at Holtzmann's. Pam and Pat Holtzmann are the most phenomenal folks around. When you're in their store, you feel like family. They are super friendly, and made you feel comfortable from the get-go. They are both super patient, and they really take the time to educate you on different stones, and different aspects of design to help make sure that you're creating a jewelry piece that will last a lifetime with proper care. We ended up having my engagement ring and my husband's wedding ring made by them, and then after having my husbands wedding ring made, I ended up wanting to make a more feminine, mini-version of his ring to be able to wear myself as well, and they helped us make that too. The quality of the jewelry pieces we received is outstanding, and working with Pam and Pat was the same. We valued getting to work with them so closely on pieces we plan to wear a lifetime! Although we had rings made, Holtzmann's specializes in all types of custom jewelry. We happened to pop into the store at the tail end of another couple leaving who had the most beautiful custom bracelet made, and at another visit saw someone picking up a necklace that they had redesigned with stones from a different necklace they no longer wore anymore. All of those jewelry pieces were amazing too. 10/10 recommend for whatever your jewelry needs are!!
