It's hard to find or trust a jeweler and Scott easily earned my business for life! Scott is patient, caring, and sincere, and truly loves his job. He looked at my ring and explained what needed to be done for repair. He also alerted me that the stone had damage-cracks but he would do his best. When he received the parts he started working on the ring and during the process broke the stone. He called me immediately and told me the unfortunate news and said that he had another stone on order at his expense. When I got the ring back it was perfect, and the stone is of much better quality than I previously had. Scott and I looked in books and online for ideas for the pendant I want to redesign. Even though I had my heart set on some designs he told me the honest truth about the flaws in the designs and produced a design that will not only be beautiful, it will last for years, and it will be reasonable! He added higher quality stones at a discount & gave me a very good price on old/unworn jewelry. Even though I haven't presented the payment yet and the project is on hold, I'm very excited to get the piece completed. I can't wait to work with Scott again! Take all your jewelry to Scott, you won't have regrets!

The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago.

If they break your jewelry while attempting to make a repair YOU have the right to tell them to stop and give you all the pieces so you can take it elsewhere if that is your desire.

Mitch, maybe you should give me a call tomorrow, or now if you'd like, and you can discuss this with me professionally. I needed my wedding set sized down. It was uncomfortably too big. I was quoted $135 and a 3week wait at one place. Paul's jewelers quoted me $100 and a week turnaround at most. I go to pick-up my ring and I'm blinded by the shine! But not blinded enough because I definitely saw the $190 price on the card reader. I pushed back and the lady proceeds to say $100 for the sizing, yes. The rest is for the cleaning. I know that standard cleaning comes with jewelry repair because jewelry gets very dirty during repairs. So why am I being charged nearly double? She says it's the Rhodium coating, to make it shiny! I didn't ask for anything more than a sizing and the cleaning that comes with it. She did me a favor and gave me a discount Seriously?! So I'm not familiar with this special cleaning they did and look it up. Google ai says " Rhodium Plating: Commonly used on white gold and silver, this process involves plating the jewelry with a thin layer of rhodium--a rare, white precious metal. This gives the jewelry a bright, silvery-white look and provides a protective coating that prevents tarnish and scratches." Did I mention my ring is YELLOW GOLD? So why would someone just naturally assume to plate my yellow gold ring?! Will never step foot back there again. I'll bet Paul's spinning in his grave that this is how his business is being run! They are crooks and I'm certain that too many people fall for their BS!!

He originally…read morebought the setting he liked a while ago at another store and Karin really helped him through the process and made recommendations for a diamond that I would love AND that would complement the setting. Not only did she find a diamond that would fit in the setting, she found the most fabulous diamond. The ring is absolutely gorgeous. I got a chance to meet Karin when we went back to Kloiber to look at wedding bands. I saw why he chose to purchase the ring there. She was so friendly, genuinely loves what she does, and likes making people happy (you can tell). I found my band right away - it was her first recommendation as to what would go with my engagement ring. My husband, on the other hand, had a few rings ordered to be sent to the store to try before he bought. He didn't love either, so Karin recommended a ring that was almost a combination of the 2. He had to buy it before seeing it though as it was custom made. Needless to say, he made the right decision. His ring is great too. He also purchased a fab necklace for me for the actual wedding day from Kloiber which I love! Over the last few months, I have been into Kloiber (the new location is in the US Bank building - go up the main escalator to the Galleria level and you will practically run into it) several times - ring sizing, ring cleaning, ring pick up, necklace shortening, etc. I'm sure it would be fine if you just stopped in (ring the bell), but I would suggest making an appointment - they are very good by email as well.
