Arthur's Jewelry - Can't believe this amazing piece is mine!!!

We are so impressed and pleased with the level of service we received at Arthur's Jewelry. I was on…read morethe hunt for a very specific wedding band. I knew exactly what I wanted, but we had been to a number of jewelers who told me it simply wasn't possible. I'm glad that I visited Arthur before I gave up my search. He took the time to sit down with my (now) husband and me and talk us through our options. Unlike the other jewelers, who told me that I would never be able to get what I wanted, Arthur actually gave us 2-3 different ways we could accomplish our exact goal! I was so thrilled to have found someone who could make it happen. Arthur was friendly, professional, straightforward, and worked hard to make sure that we were happy with the ring. He was able to use the gold from my mother's original wedding band to make my wedding band, which was also super important to me! I cannot say enough positive things about Arthur and would highly recommend Arthur's Jewelry to anyone looking for high quality, personalized service!

Second review for Arthur and 1 month late-- he is amazing!!! I cried and hugged him when I picked…read moreup my "new" engagement ring. I had my grandmother's wedding band that (due to age) had fallen apart. I asked Arthur to design a ring using my engagement diamond and use the baguettes from her ring. Totally trusting that he'd create something amazing- he exceeded my expectation and I left with a ring that has received several compliments! Do not hesitate to give him the opportunity to give you an amazing experience!

I'd been meaning to visit for a while (I live nowhere nearby) and wish I'd come earlier. As shown…read morein the photos others have posted, they have huge selection. I was there during a sidewalk sale, and they had $2 costume jewelry out front; a seasonal red/white/blue display, and vintage purses / hats in addition to jewelry. Jewelry is arranged by type; there's a large selection of pearls; dozens of cameos; and, when I was there, a large display of Bakelite and other vintage plastic bangles (with a magazine article on how not all vintage plastic jewelry is Bakelite). Some southwest/turquoise; a bunch of diamonds; lots of colored stones; and even some enamel pieces. If you don't see what you're looking for, ask; I wanted to see amber and they brought out a bunch, and they also had additional mourning jewelry in the back. The people serving me were very helpful, finding bracelets in my size, helping with tricky catches, etc. and they knew their stuff (what era jewelry was from; no, we don't have jet but we have bog oak...). Several customers were obviously regulars; one approached me out of nowhere to tell me how good the staff were to deal with. Prices are very reasonable; I was very pleased with the vast selection, spent less on a couple of pieces than I expected, and went home with some treasures. This is on the main street right next to the Catlow theater; there is street parking and 1 hour and 3 hour unmetered parking a block away at the Jewel.

With a medley of about 4-5 Jewelry stores within a 1/3 mile radius in all directions, this business…read moreneeds something to really let it stick out. And it does. First off, and probably most importantly for them, and maybe you, is its location. Right at the corner of one of the busiest intersections in more private roads. Downtown Barrington is a hotspot for small business, and Long & Co. most likely stands out the most due to its presence and locale. Second, would probably be the people inside. A bit of a personal backdrop that keeps me coming back: A large coach bus hit my Mom's car that was parked in front of the antique store next door. The owner of Long & Co. immediately jumped out of the store and chased the coach bus down until it stopped all while writing down its license plate number. The whole ordeal was suppressed because of him, really. His generosity can also be reflected in his business structure. After eyeing a gorgeous Bulova Accutron in the store, he gave me a great discount that allowed me to jump on it immediately. All the employees are warm, modest, and know what they're talking about, most importantly. From their watch selection to their Jewelry, but their selection, is primarily where they lose the last star. It can be seen as fairly limited, especially the time-piece collection which consists of Bulova and Victorinox. However, their pre-owned selection yields some VERY interesting pieces. The typical Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust of course, but as of recent, A 1980s Audemars Piguet and Piaget and Cyclos. Top tier names that are actually fairly difficult to find in a Suburban setting, especially the latter. Their other jewelry is top notch, of course, and with a solid history, Long & Co. is an excellent venue to purchase from among the other competition. These people take care of their customers, and for sure want them to know it, and its good to find an institution that authentically knows about the details of what they're selling.

Do not give them your business…read more I was excited when I purchased a ring here and got some repairs done and experienced great service from Diane. I figured I would give them my business when I needed to get appraisals done on all of my jewelry. That's when my first interaction occurred with the owner Brian. Working in Retail as an executive for 15+ years myself, I'm experience in great, good, mediocre, and abysmal service. When the appraisal for my wedding ring and Rolex came back 30% lower than the appraisals from the place I originally purchased them at, I called to inquire. He spoke to me like I was ignorant and talked in circles about how he did me a favor by low-balling the appraisal. I found him to be incredibly untrustworthy, demeaning, not truthful, and someone I would not encourage giving your hard-earned dollars to. It will spoil a lovey experience like buying jewelry.

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!

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 :) *

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.
