    My employer gave me a gift card to Glenview Jewelers. I found a chain to replace my delicate gold…read morechain that I'm always repairing, as well as some silver earrings. Also, I brought in a watch for battery replacement. They were going to hold my watch for the owner, Lisa, to replace the battery but luckily, she came in while I was still there and quickly made the repair. Also, I sold them my broken gold chain. So I still came out ahead. The owner and her staff were very nice, the jewelry cases have some gorgeous pieces, and I think it says a lot about a person if they have their dog at their establishment.

    I'm tough to surprise with gifts because I usually have an idea of exactly what I want. I must have…read morementioned when getting ready one day that I could use more casual bracelets and my husband took that has a hint (even though it wasn't intentional) to get me one for my bday. He found Glenview Jewelers (thanks Yelp) and purchased a lovely bracelet that can be worn and all times- day and night. When I first tried it on it was huge so I went back to the jeweler to get it fitted. The very sweet woman who was in the store seemed excited to meet me after mentioning she had helped my husband pick out the bracelet. They said it would take about a week to fix and would call me when it was ready. I did a little browsing of my own while in there and they have such beautiful jewelry that I can imagine it was difficult to choose one thing. When my bracelet was ready I went to pick it up twice and both times the store was closed, even though it was during their typical opening hours. It was a little annoying since it's at least a 20 minute drive to my house. I stopped by a third time when in the area and the third time was the charm because it was ready for me. It fit perfectly and I've enjoyed wearing it ever since!

I also inquired about other models they had and that's when the experience started going downhill. The blonde woman taking care of me would not show me any watches outside of the case like I was some sort of criminal or something. Although I was bothered, I left my personal information to be notified when a ranger came in stock, For me to view and potentially purchase. A phone call never came. I end up buying one when I was on vacation in Atlanta at a Tudor boutique store. The customer service here was awful. I really wish I could've done business with them, as I'm already looking for more Tudors and will pass on this shop.

    After getting our appraisals and getting our jewelry back, the watch they appraised and cleaned was…read morerunning very slow. It was not that way when I dropped it off for appraisal. We paid $50 extra to have the watch cleaned, so assumed they were cleaning the entire watch. When I called to ask if they could take a look at and fix the watch, they told me to bring it in and they would quote me for the fix. I pushed back and they said this happens sometimes - a watch will be cleaned and coincidentally will develop an unrelated problem. That's when I asked if something could have happened when they cleaned the watch. I was told they only cleaned the band and not the watch itself. This was not what was explained when I agreed to the cleaning. Simply stated, they asked if I wanted the watched cleaned for another $50. I think they probably meant the band but that wasn't how it was proposed to me. The quote was $275 to fix it, I find it is very odd that you drop off a perfectly working watch for appraisal and the timing mechanism develops a problem while just sitting there. I don't understanding but will give Daniel's the benefit of the doubt and agree it must have just been bad timing. I'm still happy with Daniel's Jewelry overall but have to knock off one star for the confusion around the appraisal followed by the repair.

    We came in for our annual cleaning of our wedding rings. The owner, Valerie greeted us & said, "it…read moremust be that time," referring to our arrival to drop off our rings for cleaning, polishing, reshaping & checking for any loose stones. We have been long time customers when we relocated from Southern California to Glenview for work downtown. We have purchased earrings, some different pieces from the estate jewelry cabinet & watchbands. All of the staff is quite pleasant & personable. Valerie really knows her field & Arthur crafts, cleans & repairs everything that we have brought in. Valerie helped us pick out a simple band honoring our 40th wedding anniversary. When one of the stones fell out, she replaced the ring promptly. It is really comforting to have a relationship with a trusted jeweler. Thanks, Daniel's Jewelry for all of your years of trusted service & offering of "just right" pieces to purchase.

    Here is the revised Yelp version with the company and watch brand names removed:…read more **No to Jules -- YES!!!! to Alexa and Rachel.** Alexa and Rachel are wonderful representatives of this jeweler: helpful, sincere, professional, and welcoming. My experience with Jules was the opposite. That is my opinion. Accept it or disregard it. I will buy here in the future **BECAUSE of Alexa and Rachel, DESPITE my interactions with Jules.** I visited the Highland Park location to have four luxury watches sized, timed, function-tested, and assessed for possible service. The store is an authorized dealer for two of the brands. I clearly explained that the watches had been purchased through reputable secondary-market sources and that I was **not** requesting formal authentication or a certificate. I simply wanted an experienced professional to examine them and tell me whether anything appeared obviously wrong. The first person I spoke with understood the distinction. She appropriately explained that official authentication would require sending the watches through service, but said they could size them, time them, and give them a general examination. When I called again to confirm that the appropriate staff would be available, Jules repeatedly interrupted me and sternly emphasized that they would not tell me the watches were "authentic." I was not asking them to do that. When I arrived, Rachel greeted me and listened to what I was requesting. Jules then called out from across the counter that she had **"ALREADY EXPLAINED WHAT THEY WOULD DO--SIZE AND TIME!"** That was unnecessary, unprofessional, and embarrassing. Rachel took over and handled the situation appropriately. Alexa later assisted with the sizing. Both clearly reiterated that the store could not certify authenticity, which I completely understood, but they also gave the watches a professional look and said they did not see anything that immediately caused concern. That is all I had requested. Spotting something obviously wrong is not the same as formally certifying authenticity. Asking for one is not demanding the other. If an authorized luxury-watch dealer cannot recognize an obvious concern while handling and sizing a watch, then both the dealer and the customer have a larger problem. A relationship with a jeweler **IS A RELATIONSHIP.** It is built, cultivated, and curated over time. Every interaction either strengthens that relationship or erodes it. Luxury retailers should remember that they do not know what a customer may purchase, trade, service, or recommend in the future. The long view matters more than proving who is "right" or who is in charge. I sincerely hope this feedback is shared with Jules constructively. This is not written merely to embarrass or criticize her. If management believes my perspective has value, I hope she is given the opportunity to hear it, reflect on it, and learn from it. Everyone can have a poor interaction or an off day. What matters is what someone does with the feedback. Alexa and Rachel understood the distinction and represented the store exceptionally well. They are the reason I would return.

    We have been customers for the past 16 years and not only have we purchased Rolex and Cartier…read morewatches there, but I've also had many watches serviced there. We have also recommended this place to our siblings & friends and they have purchased from them and I will no longer do so. I had purchased a pre-owned Rolex last year out of state and we wanted to get it serviced. But. They refused to do it! The watchmaker "heard" and called the lady at the front desk to tell her to tell me that they wouldn't service my watch. There is technically nothing wrong with the watch however because it was bought used and not CPO so we don't know when the last time it was serviced. The watch is approximately 20 years old. (we did get box & papers with it ) They always say you should get it serviced every 8 to 10 years so since we have no clue, when was the last service, I brought it in to be serviced. I think they didn't want work on it because it was a watch that was purchased outside of their store. Because I really don't understand why they would turn me away. I'm a loyal customer bringing in a Rolex to be serviced but not anymore. I am stunned. Awful customer service!
