RL Jeweler had the exact ring set that I wanted. They only needed to size them and they had that done within an hour. Jason was very helpful and patient. No pressure at all. I actually shopped around at a few more places and no one could come close to matching the price so I went back and closed the deal. A few days later, I went back and asked if they could solder the two rings together and they did that for me. Ray was so polite and helpful. I had a great experience while both buying and after service. read more

You can tell they really care about their customers and stand behind their products. Highly recommend!! If you havent yet check out RL jewlers! Will never go anywhere else! read more

Raymond rocks! I love coming back to visit and get my rings cleaned and polish. Even if I only get my rings cleaned and checked, Raymond is always pleasant! I am glad I bought my engagement ring and my wedding ring here. After each cleaning and polish, my rings look brand new, and I fall in love with my rings all over again. My next purchase is diamond earrings. So I will see you soon Raymon read more

I saw the perfect Round cut diamond in R.L Jewelers window. I entered the store and Jason and Raymond helped me with the perfect engagement ring design for my girlfriend. I purchased a Beautiful Diamond and sapphire engagement ring in Platinum and Raymond had a custom matching diamond and sapphire wedding band made . I have since purchased other quality rings from them and have recommended them to my friends and family. Thank you for the easy no pressure sales along with their fair prices, knowledge and expertise. read more

5 star service! was around the area on our way to the park, figured I drop by to say hi to Raymond. He knew me by name and remembered exactly what our ring looked like. Raymond offered to clean the ring since we were there. RL Jewelers is top notch! read more

Raymond has been our go to jeweler ever since my husband bought our engagement ring back in 2010. He's very nice and knowledgeable and his prices are super reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Raymond and his team are outstanding. Can't say enough good things about these guys. If you are considering buying a ring or stone anywhere else I think you should immediately get another opinion and take the stone and band price comparison to other shops. One of the other jewelers literally called me a liar and tole me I could not get the stone quality and size I told him for the price I said I was paying. No joke told me - Buy that stone and then bring it back and I will buy it for $2K more than the price you are telling me. That is how I knew I was getting a good deal and that I didn't need to meet with any more jewelers. Also, have been coming to him for almost 10 years now for bands, upgrades and referred at least 10 people. Seriously, the staff is outstanding and customization options are unreal. This is it folks - look no further because you have found the shop to get your stones and ring. Thanks for everything Raymond! read more

Raymond is always such a pleasure. He resized a ring for me in two hours - at half the cost of other places. RL is the best!

I was always told to go to the jewelry district on Wabash when we were ready to buy my engagement ring. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by all the stores but I'm glad we strolled across RL Jewelers. Ray is the nicest guy who earned my trust very fast. He wasn't trying to up sale us or be a pushy salesman. He was honest and that's most important in my book. He has more knowledge than I would have dreamed and he made my fairy tale engagement ring become reality. I was able to design what I wanted and mixed and match ideas I brought in from magazines. My ring turned out perfect!! I also go there yearly for a ring deep cleaning (FREE by the way) and I'm keeping my eye on some diamond studs I would love to get soon. read more

Raymond is really nice and so is his partner. I had an anniversary band made with him and I make the trek downtown from the burbs to have my white gold rings dipped because he's trustworthy and affordable. read more

Ray is incredible. So genuine and so informative. Customized for me exactly what I wanted plus more for the best price I could find around. Certified, appraised, and lifetime warranty on my diamond. All within less than a week. I highly recommend you stop looking around for other options and just go with ray at RL. You will NOT regret it. The same setting, but lesser quality, smaller diamond was more than twice the price at rogers. Love this guy, will definitely go back for all my future wants and needs read more

I seriously can't say enough about this place! Incredible! They made the exact wedding band I wanted! It was done in 10 days and I went to no joke 10 jewelers to get what I wanted bc everyone kept saying "we can't make that- it'll break"-- not when I came in to RL! George and Daniel were SO sweet and personable! Can't wait to buy more jewelry with them!! read more

I went to see George Papageorge at RL Jewelers to pick out an engagement ring for my fiancé! George assisted and walked me through a process that I know very little about in a way that was kind, courteous and professional. Not only did George find me an amazing ring for my long time girlfriend, but he also ensured that the I received an incredible amount of value for the item I purchased! After working with George I feel that he is like family and feel that anyone that works with him would feel the same way. read more

I was referred to Daniel from a coworker of mine and was great to work with. Even though I didn't end up getting my ring here, Daniel was fantastic in the 3 meetings I had with him. I can tell that he is dedicated to his craft and could tell right away why my coworkers recommend him. I ended up buying the ring from a store down road, but it was due to the fact that my fiance had her mind on a ring at that store and also because I needed a 1 week turn around time. read more

Its funny..Have been meaning to write a review for Raymond for about 2 years now and I've just been so busy. The price was phenomenal...I mean phenomenally surprising after getting it appraised by a third party.. So why did I remember to write a review for RL Jewelers today? My buddy is proposing in about a month or so and needed a ring...Buddy called me today and I'm writing the review today.... 'Nuff Said :) read more

This place is the Bee's Knees! Ray is amazing...helpful, and knowledgeable! I took both my wedding and engagement ring in today and he sized and cleaned them in 2 hours!!! I didn't have to be without my rings for long. This is the place I will be going to for any of my jewelry needs! read more

Over the last 6 months I was ring shopping both online and around different jewelry locations in Chicago. Before I was about to purchase a ring off of blue nile I was referred to go to Rl Jewelers sometime in August. That is when I met Daniel and he made my visit very comfortable and easy. He taught me everything I needed to know about diamonds and the process of selecting an engagement ring. He showed me a few different options since I had brought in picture of what I was looking for and told him what kind of diamond I was looking for as well. He custom designed it and made it look better then the pictures brought to him. I finally proposed to my fiancé last weekend and she loved the custom ring. Just to see that smile on her face said enough. I definitely recommend RL Jewelers to anyone looking. Can't forget the great service they have and offer too. Thanks for the beautiful ring Daniel! :) read more

Raymond is fantastic! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an engagement ring. I first walked into his shop 2.5 years before I ended up proposing to my fiancee. From that time on I came in at least a half dozen times before making the final decision. Every step of the way Raymond listened to what we wanted and helped guide us towards designs we preferred. We ended up having a custom design that was a blend of several rings we really liked. He was never pushy, and always emphasized that he was working on our time, not the other way around. This can't be said of many other jewelers that we spoke to. Even when it came to the selection of the diamond, Raymond was knowledgeable, helpful, and honest.. not pushy at all! Being my first time buying jewelry like this, I took the ring information to a friend in the jewelry business and happily found out Raymond's price were incredibly reasonable. Even after I got the ring and wanted to make a few minor adjustments, Raymond was extremely accommodating, timely, and friendly. He even offered to fix a piece of my mom's jewelry for free as well (she was with me at the time)! In short: My experience with Raymond was awesome. I will definitely be going back for the wedding bands and recommending him to anyone I know looking to buy. read more

I went in recently and was helped by George P. He was... a character... to put it mildly! :) But I appreciated the humor and had a good time shopping with no pressure to buy. And in the end, he did help me find a gorgeous ring mounting! The mounting itself was beautiful, with an even halo and nice white diamonds. Many inexpensive mountings can be ridiculously lightweight and fragile, and that was not the case at RL. I also sent Raymond a follow up email, and his response was lightning fast! I left my stone to be set into the mounting and it will be a few days, so I will update the review upon receipt! I've learned that a skilled bench is harder to find than a beautiful mounting, so I'm anxious to see the final result. UPDATE: I received my ring and love it! I was worried about the stone fitting properly and it does! Raymond sent me a pic AND video of the ring before shipping, which was really nice. However, if you are very picky about your prongs, I would give clear instructions (size and shape) from the outset or have your own bench set your stone. I prefer smaller, more pointed prongs, so I may have my jeweler shave them down if they bother me down the line. Overall, I think it was good value for the money and I was very happy with the service and communication. read more

I purchased my fiancé's engagement ring in November of 2019 from RL Jewelers. As someone who is a novice in purchasing jewelry I was initially hesitant about which jeweler to go with. I'm so happy that I chose RL Jewelers. They helped me pick out the perfect band, diamond, and educated me throughout the whole process about how diamonds are cut and their quality. After picking everything out, they put together a fantastic ring. As my fiancé says, she could not have picked out a more perfect ring if she had been there herself. The team there are excellent at what they do, and an absolute joy to work with! read more

We came here to check out some rings and get my finger properly sized. My guy knows what I like, but I also have tiny fingers and just wanted to see how different styles looked on me. I was a bit nervous because I didn't know what to expect, but Jason and Ray were super helpful and never pressured us to buy or go outside of the budget. I had an idea of what I wanted, but seeing all of the sparkly settings in the case was still overwhelming! A few weeks later, my now fiance surprised me with a gorgeous vintage style, halo ring. I can't stop staring at it! He is happy he went this route instead of buying something online. These guys can make any kind of custom ring, so you're not limited to what you see. We'll be back for our wedding rings! read more

My parents and I stumbled upon RL when I was looking for an engagement ring. So gad we did. Raymond (ask for him; he's always there) was patient, thoughtful and willing to listen. The prices were more than fair. He took the time to show us several types of stones (and what all the codes mean) and settings. I would highly recommend going to Raymond for any and all jewelry needs. read more

Let me just say I was not the one who went and purchased my ring. My husband negotiated with Raymond and I am speaking from someone who has the finished product. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and I told my husband I wanted a very nice center stone and diamonds around the bands and a halo. What I have now more than exceeds anything I could have ever imagined. It sparkles all day and night. The cut is excellent, the clarity is fantastic and the shape is round cut in a cushion setting. I love the fact that the way it was designed, the center stone sits above the rest of the ring so it stands out instead of being flush with the rest of the band. I stated what I wanted and received more than I could have ever expected. I will personally refer all of my friends to this store. Hands down the best jeweler. read more

Raymond is awesome. I first came to RL Jewelers back in November 2019 to purchase an engagement ring for my fiancé. I was recommended to go to him by a close friend of mine. I showed him the style that my fiancé likes and he found the perfect diamond and band. He didn't try to sell me an expensive diamond and taught me that the higher the clarity costs way more and you can't tell the difference by the naked eye. My fiancé absolutely loved it and so did everyone else. I came back 2 years later to purchase a wedding band for my soon to be wife, and a ring for myself. Raymond is not there to sell you something, he just wants you to be happy. Very nice and professional guy. I highly recommend R.L. Jewelers. read more

I had my watches cleaned, new batteries installed and a band added to one. The work was done well, timely, and for a fair price. This is my new go to place for my watches. read more

Why give 5 stars? Well, I'm looking for service and value. As for value, Ray outbid the *closest* competition by $150 for my men's wedding band (1100 to 950). Some others were even talking $2,000 for the ring (rip-offs, but still it's true). I looked for like 6 hours all along there. As for service- he was upfront about everything, and he gave me a rush order and had it ready in 2 days. Furthermore he offers lifetime resizing. While I was skeptical of this, in fact I went back 3 wks later b/c the ring was a little tight (it's good to err on the tight side, btw, b/c you don't want to lose it). Within a couple of hours he had it resized (by only 1/4 of a measure) and now it fits perfectly. Courteous perfect service combined with great deals. Unbeatable for me at least. ps- He's not a "store", but rather one of the stalls in a jewelry mall (there are a bunch around there). read more

George P. was extremely rude during our visit. He repeatedly scoffed at and insulted me - in front of my fiancee! - for having the gall to take written notes about the price & quality of his diamonds. If you're comparison shopping to find a reasonable price on a diamond ring, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this shop. read more

I was referred to RL Jewelers by brother who had worked with Daniel Lam. Daniel had worked with my brother and helped him design a very beautiful ring for my sister in law. Daniel was extremely helpful in not only educating me about the four c's: cut, color, clarity, and carat. But also helped me find the perfect diamond in my price range. He went through about 20 and then narrowed it down to 5 for me to review. Then he helped me pick the right setting to show case the diamond too. You can buy a diamond from anyone, but if you want personalized attention and someone who will go the extra mile then Daniel is the guy to do business with. He's straightforward, not pushy, and takes a lot of pride in work too. Also you can't beat his prices either. So if you're looking diamond jewelry stop by RL Jewelers. You won't be disappointed and make sure to see Daniel Lam! read more

customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service, customer service!!! Can't say enough of Ray and his team. His prices are extremely fair and he is not pushy and will redo until you are happy. If you're looking at big box retailers (you're an idiot). If you're looking at online shops (e.g., bluenile), definitely visit Ray and the process will be much easier. Prices are generally better too. Thanks Ray! read more

Daniel is amazing! My poor fiance had to deal with my indecisiveness on a ring style I wanted but somehow him and Daniel custom designed one that is beyond what I ever imagined. I love it. I also love how Daniel made the purchasing experience great for my fiance. I am sure buying a ring can be tedious and stressful! I have heard many horror stories. Even after the proposal, Daniel has been nothing but fantastic to work with. I have needed my ring re-sized twice and he has been so accommodating and friendly. We will be recommending RL Jewelers to all our friends and going back for anything else we need in the future :) read more

We absolutely loved working with Daniel on our wedding bands + my engagement ring! He is so responsive and helpful, and our rings are beautiful and at a reasonable price. They are so helpful with cleanings and adjustments. We are super happy with our ring experience at RL jewelers! read more

My review of RL Jewelers starts at the end of my experience with them: my fiance LOVES the engagement ring I bought her from there. The entire week since we've gotten engaged she has been staring at the ring and purposely using her left hand whenever possible to show it off. Of course I'm thrilled she loves the ring, but I think she would have said yes no matter what. So the difference between RL Jewelers and any one else is that they made the process for me seamless, stress-free, and they were a partner in helping me find the perfect ring, not a salesman trying to push product. I dealt with Daniel most of the time and he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. At my first appointment, he had prepared almost a dozen different diamond stones for me to review and of various qualities to give me a sense for what the differences were. He also had the exact kind of band I was looking for! Over the next few weeks as I continued changing my criteria (maybe a little more or less in weight, what about going up in color, or down in clarity, etc.) he was extremely patient and always was interested in getting me the diamond I wanted at whatever price was affordable to me and the best value. I really felt like he was a friend helping me find the best diamond for the best price. He never rushed me; he was truly committed to helping me find the perfect stone however long it took. Fast forward to the end, my fiance is thrilled and so am I. These guys are top-notch, and I told Daniel when I left with the engagement ring that I would be back with my fiance to purchase our wedding bands from him. Thank you, Daniel and RL Jewelers, for helping me find and pick the perfect ring! read more

I have to say that when my girl friend wanted to look at rings in Jewelers row.. I was scared! My budget didn't have jewelers row written on it for sure. At first we were a little over whelmed. We started with RL jewelers and talked to Raymond and he was a great nice guy. We knew we wanted to look at a few places so we then went to New York jewelers and looked at a few rings. We started our search again looking for the perfect ring and they pulled out a few rings and placed then into a holder and had us walk into a secret room in the back and kind of felt trapped. We looked at a few other stores and went back to RL jewelers. We once again talked to Raymond and we has very nice and told us he can make us any ring we wanted if we didn't see one we liked. We looked at a few rings and decided on a custom design. We said give us this from this ring, that from this ring etc..The ring had over 1.5 carats of diamonds and they needed to be high grade and very clear to match the stone I already purchased. Ray gave me a price to design the ring and we left. I didn't want her to know the exact ring I was buying so I didn't put the money down right there , but I did go back the next Monday and put down the payment to get the ring started. Raymond told me it would take 2 weeks to get that type of ring done. It was very detailed and had tons of individual diamonds on the band. All three sides and we had the solid parts speckled with smaller diamonds. The ring was done in just over a week! The ring came out awesome! Raymond could not have been more helpful and his price beat anyone's that would have tried! Raymond was able to make this ring for less than we would have paid for just about anything else we looked at that was nice and it was custom made! I will be back for any, and every piece of jewelry I ever purchase in the future. Keep up the great work Raymond.. you are a treasure to all bachelor's looking to pop the question! 6 stars for Raymond and his design team! read more

Oh how do I begin this review! So my now husband purchased my engagement ring here, and we also purchased our wedding bands here. Satisfied is a major understatement! Ray is an artist and extremely talented with a skilled eye for detail. My husband told me the story of how he found R.L. Jewelers. My husband said on a hot day one July afternoon he parked on the very end of Jewelers Row going in and out of many stores. My husband said that every Jeweler snubbed him most likely because of how he looked, cut off t-shirt, green Sox hat, cargo shorts, and Chuck T's. Little did these jewelers know he was looking to buy a ring in cash that day. Then my husband came to R.L. Jewelers, right off the bat Ray was amazing, patient, honest, & saw the vision my husband was looking for! When buying an engagement band its very nerve racking & a major investment. Ray quickly calmed my husbands fears & was true to his word on quality, time, & customer service. The customer service is superb & always prompt. I have never seen such care & quality done before, if your looking for painless, experienced hand crafted jewelry look no further than R.L. jewelers! read more

RL Jewelers - The finished product courtesy of RL Jewelers! Thanks Ray! - Jewelry Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My sister recommended that my fiance and I go to Raymond Lam to browse engagement rings. We immediately felt comfortable chatting with Raymond because he was patient with us, and really listened to what we told him we were looking for. A few months later, I was proposed to with a beautiful engagement ring and could not be any happier with what my fiance had Raymond make. Since then, I've gone back to have other rings resized, and my fiance and I just went yesterday to narrow down our top two picks each for wedding bands down to one. Every time I go in there it is obvious that most of his customers are satisfied repeat customers. Raymond is very reasonable, laid back, and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! read more

I have used Raymond twice, both times with great success. The first time was December of 2007 when I needed an engagement ring to propose to my girlfriend. I had two criteria - a sapphire stone and a reasonable price. As much as I love internet buying, I did not feel comfortable buying a ring without least seeing it. I went to Jewelers Row, but was struck with how little the merchants cared about what the customer (me) would want. One guy instantly shot down the sapphire idea and insisted I go with the (more expensive) diamond. Raymond was the fourth jeweler I meet and he instantly began working with me in a positive way. First and foremost, he is an artist who listens to his clients. After about 10 minutes of general discussion of the kind of ring I would want, he brought out a few types of settings and various stones. I quickly found a sapphire center stone flanked by 2 small pear-shapped diamonds that was perfect. When he quoted a price that was a little outside the budget, he didn't try to hard sell me. He just found slightly smaller stones that looked just as beautiful. When I picked up the ring one week later, it was as good as advertised. A year and a half later, my fiancee and I were looking for wedding bands, and Raymond did not disappoint again. Within 10 minutes, he selected a perfectly matching band for my fiance's engagement ring and I found a great titanium band. He cleaned her engagement ring while we shopped and impressed her just as much as me. If you want great looking jewelry that fits your look, reasonable price, and great customer service in a low pressure environment, go see Raymond Lam. read more

Ray is your guy! I was allured by all of the 5 star reviews on Yelp, so I thought I would stop in while looking for a wedding band for my wife. Having little knowledge, Ray made me feel super comfortable, only educating me and really trying to find the perfect and most practical solution. No pressure at all. In the end I found a GORGEOUS diamond band, that my wife was ECSTATIC over! And to top it off, it appraised for double! How can you beat that? I would definitely recommend Ray Lam Jewelers!! read more

Raymond is great. Extremely knowledgeable and more than reasonable. He will help with every step, and when you are making this large of a purchase, it is great to have an honest salesman. I will be a returning customer and will refer all my friends there. read more
