Dropped my watch and the back popped off so I took it here and he fixed it on the spot for a very reasonable price.

My husband and I stopped in Persin and Robbin Jewelers to look at ladies watches. It was my first…read moretime here and I had a wonderful experience! Kirsten helped us pick out a gorgeous Tudor watch and diamond stud earrings. I enjoyed a cappuccino at the bar and everyone working was very friendly. I also love how bright and crisp the inside of the store is. Highly recommend stopping here for beautiful, quality jewelry and exceptional customer service!

After lunch, my friend and I decided to come check out some watches. The location is a stand alone…read moreand easy to get to. You are greeting by a security officer and he was really friendly. We were greeting by a nice lady and offered us a drink while we shopped. I got sparkling water and my buddy got a coffee. They only sell 2 watch brands here: Tudor and Rolex. We quickly looked at the Tudor area but the sales staff was busy so we headed over to the Rolex area. We were helped immediately from a sales staff member and we were shown a couple watches. We asked what they had in stock and they only had a few lady pieces and had 1 DateJust in stock which is what I was looking for but it was the Bright Blue and I really want the Mint Green. Do I just get it or get what I want? I decided to get and wait for exactly what I want. It was so hard to pass up but don't just settle. We made our way to the Tudor area and I looked at the Black Bay Chrono which was impressive. After trying this on and feeling the watch, I have quickly added to my list of a future watch to purchase. I love the fact the staff is nice and answered all of our questions. They were not trying us to convince us to make a purchase. Even when I was waffling on the DateJust, the sales person agreed, get what you want and don't settle. I'll stop buy to check on their stock. And when I want to buy the Tudor, I'll come visit to make a purchase.

I honestly wish I can give more than 5 stars. In short, my now fiancé and I are extremely lucky…read morethat we were referred by a friend and met an incredible jeweler like Jon. He is absolutely talented, trustworthy, honest, and super passionate about his field of knowledge and work. We walked in not knowing so much about the whole engagement ring selection process, but he made us feel very comfortable upon arrival and kindly gave us the much needed informative session before we started looking at any specific pieces and discuss wants & needs. Jon was able to give us a step-by-step guide through the whole process. He did not ever push us to make any decisions (you can't find this with other jewelers) and gave us plenty of time to think through and genuinely wanted us to make the decisions that was best for us. He kept in good communication through everything and never missed a single detail. He was able to always answer my questions and reassure my worries and made sure we were comfortable and confident in our final choice of diamond and setting. We truly thank him for all the effort and work that he has helped us in creating our memorable piece and valuable experiences. We cannot be more happy for the outcome and are absolutely in LOVE with everything that we worked on with Jon thus far! (Plenty more in future including our wedding bands) I would (and have) HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! *picture doesn't ever do it justice, but it it looks this great in picture, Enough said :) *

The only place I will go for advice, cleaning, or purchasing of jewelry. My family has been going…read morehere for years. Jon is an expert who you can trust to give you the best advice as well as fair advice. I recently asked him to replace a diamond on my wedding band, and he told me all he needed to do was rotate the diamond. He could have easily told me it needed replacement, which would have cost me way more, and I would have had no idea. He is honest and dang good at his job.

After researching/deciding on a timepiece and then phone calling various locations to do business…read morewith; I decided on the C.D. Peacock of Woodfield. (Previously a year back, they pressure tested my other time-piece the same day and I was so happy with their service). Positive experience. My story: I walk in and I am warmly greeted by the staff. Colin, who became my representative- listened to my preferences, was knowledgeable with recommendations, and very patient. They did not have the item I wanted in stock. Colin went above and beyond to take my information, and ultimately contacted me when it was in. The process in purchasing felt like I was a million dollars. Colin walked me through it. I work hard and earn my money, as the it commemorates an achievement/occasion, and they really understand it here. I received superior, world-class treatment. You cannot go wrong with any of the staff there, but Colin is my go-to. Thank you Colin. Part Two- I came back a different day to resize my watch. The watchmaker, Sascha listened to my preferences about the fit on my wrist, then gave perfect recommendations. Very knowledgeable and attentive to my concerns. He handled my timepiece with care. How he held my watch (making sure not to scratch the inner parts) was a tell on how detailed they are here versus an inferior jeweler. Just awesome. The combination of great staff and knowing that I have a reliable place to service my investments and future purchases, makes me feel secure. When purchasing luxury, you are buying the dealer- and not just the item.

I love my ring!!! My fiancé picked/designed it with the help of Evelyn from CD Peacock. She did an…read moreamazing job and I love that I could see the process all the way through with the extra stuff they give! It's so beautiful and I've had it for about 10 months and it still looks just as brilliant as the first day! Thanks, Evelyn!

I brought in 2 very delicate pieces of jewelry which needed repairs this past Saturday afternoon…read more One piece is a 10K gold antique Virgin Mary charm that I wore daily since 2012 and another piece is a tiny pearl earring that needed to be glued back to its post again. Both items were finished and in restored beautiful condition by Tuesday afternoon. Very pleased with the services I received These people can sodder back gold and take care of delicate antique jewelry.

I had my watch batteries replaced here for the first time ever! (I used to go to their Woodfield…read morelocation, but unfortunately, that location closed during or shortly after the COVID Pandemic.) Luckily, my new job is located just 15 minutes from this location and I was able come here during my late lunch hour and have them replace the batteries in my Rado Diastar Chronograph Watch and Philip Stein Chronograph Teslar Watch! What was great was that the Lifetime Batteries I bought for them from the Woodfield shop were still valid and so I was able to get them replaced for free without having to start over again! Very honorable business! I do plan on bringing my other watches in my 40-50-watch collection, even if I have to make the shlep up to Vernon Hills -- it is well worth it! This location is in a great mall, with a lot of great stores and restaurants all around it to tide me over while I wait for them to work on my watches. (For this visit, it only took 30 minutes for the awesome lady who helped me out, to replace the batteries.) Also: The Lifetime Battery deal they have is a great deal; glad I don't have to pay for a new battery every time it dies -- such a great value!
