I brought him an 18k gold and diamond necklace I bought for $600 yrs ago from reputable dealer, but he claimed only the clasp was real gold & only gave me $300 for the diamonds. I brought them small jewelry components of silver which they spilled on the floor & didn't include in the weight. I brought them beautiful rings with precious stones and assistant in back room smashed the stones to only include the gold, not the value of the rings. Was much more honest when old owner Dennis was there.

To say that he is knowledgeable, courteous, and professional is a gross understatement. We had a substantial amount of Sterling flatware that no one in the family wanted.

You would be well served to visit or contact him if you have a need for selling or buying silver or some type of restoration etc. of a silver piece. Michael and Eileen Maloney.

I found Roque Gallery from an online auction.   I saw a couple unsold items so I came to the store…read moreto look at them. Absolutely did not expect the Gallery to be so large and have so many rare items. Such a variety -- Tiffany, all sorts of Sterling Silver, some jewelry, military medals --- I didn't end up purchasing anything but the gentleman working answered all my questions and I left with a new assortment of knowledge. If you are looking for something unique to gift or add to your collection, this is a GREAT place to shop! I'm keeping them in mind for Christmas time purchases, thats for sure.

A TRUE MASTER OF RESTORATION I cannot say enough wonderful…read morethings about Dante Restoration in Lincoln Heights and, especially, its owner and master restorer, Marco. I have a beautiful 3-foot Italian pot that was accidentally broken into nearly 50 pieces by my then-15-year-old daughter. In an attempt to repair it herself, she did her best -- but the pot was haphazardly put back together with mismatched glue. Needless to say, I thought my beautiful Italian piece was probably beyond saving. Then I met Marco. He completely disassembled the pot, carefully removed all of the old glue, meticulously cleaned every piece, matched the original paint to a tee, and painstakingly pieced the entire pot back together. The result was absolutely incredible. You would never know it had ever been broken. Every detail, every color, every seam was beautifully restored. But what makes Marco so special goes beyond his extraordinary talent as a restoration artist. He is a genuinely kind and caring person who takes the time to get to know you. As he shared his own history and story with me, I immediately knew that he was the perfect person to entrust with something so meaningful to me. I believe he carries that same care, patience and spirit into every piece he restores. I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review, but perhaps waiting a year makes it even more meaningful: after a full year, my Italian pot still looks as beautiful as the day I picked it up from Dante Restoration. Thank you, Marco! You are a true master of your craft and a kind soul. I am so grateful you brought my beautiful Italian pot back to life. I couldn't recommend Dante Restoration more highly!

TL;DR - L'Oliphant sold us a FAKE men's wedding band that was listed as 14KT solid white gold (for…read more$1,000!). We found out AFTER our wedding that it was some alloy of iron and nickel covered in gold. When we went to the shop, BJ didn't take any responsibility. After my husband pressured her she did eventually refund us for the original amount. However, we still suffered losses paying for the ring authentication AND the increase in gold price from last year. Oh and now we know we had a FAKE ring in our wedding and all of the photos for the rest of our lives. You can see in my Yelp history that I normally avoid writing reviews like this, as I understand how bad reviews can impact certain businesses. I already know that the owner BJ is going to write and deny all of this but I feel that I'm truly doing the public a disservice by not saying anything because we got scammed. The only thing that would have prevented me from leaving this review is if she took FULL responsibility and went above and beyond to make it right. Clearly, we are all reading my review right now so she did NOT make it right or even take an inkling of responsibility. We were recommended L'Oliphant's services for custom engagement and wedding bands. The entire process took a few weeks in 2024. The process was not as smooth as I would have preferred - their receipt system is absolutely a mess, and we had to drive across town numerous times for appointments or to review designs in person. What really was the kicker - we purchased a men's white gold wedding band and we were assured it was solid gold. Priced at $1000. When we received it, it had an imperfection on it that we pointed out several times to BJ but she kept insisting that it was just an issue with the casting and refused to fix it. Anyways, we were sick and tired of driving all the way across town every week so we just accepted it and assumed we could polish out the imperfection later. Because how were we supposed to know? A few months after our wedding, we took a necklace to a different jeweler down the street for some work. Asked him if he could polish the imperfection on the ring. Immediately he knew it wasn't solid gold. Showed us on the microscope - the imperfection was actually a CHIP in the top layer of gold and there was some non gold metal underneath. He also did a scratch test for us to show that the metal underneath was not gold. I've attached a photo of the imperfection under the microscope and you can clearly see, it is not gold underneath. We called L'Oliphant to ask them, Christina picked up the phone and was very kind and assured us they would make it right but that we could take it to an independent coin shop that does gold scanning to be sure. We followed her recommendation and paid $50 for the written report. The gold shop scanned the ring right in front of us where the imperfection was and showed us that it had nickel and iron in it. No gold ring should have nickel or iron, and the shop owners actually told us that they wouldn't even buy that kind of ring because the gold layer on top is essentially worthless due to the alloy content inside. This gold shop is a highly reputable business with 500+ Yelp reviews and a 4.8 star rating - so we have no reason not to believe them. I've attached a video of the scan (sped up, as Yelp does not allow videos over 30s). When we brought the scan proof and ring back to L'Oliphant, BJ took zero responsibility and immediately denied everything, stating that "other jewelers have it out for us here" and that "some people put acid on their jewelry" and also that "the scanner may not have been calibrated correctly" so she needed to test it herself. She took out a literal magnet and showed us that it did not stick to the ring. Amazing. I asked if she had her scanner or even some microscope to look at it in store and she said no, that she'd have to take the ring and scan it within the next two weeks. My husband pushed her to refund us the original amount, which she did, but that was the BARE MINIMUM in making this right for us. BJ took the ring and told us she would test the ring HERSELF. This is the only test we've had without transparency where we won't be able to see the results with our eyes. To add insult to injury - she had one of her shop associates call us to tell us a week later that, miraculously, the ring is solid gold based on her tests. I already know she will respond to my review denying this - she can deny all she wants but we took the ring and had it verified by TWO independent sources and both sources confirmed it was not solid gold. The worst part was - the imperfection on the ring was already there the day we bought it. It never should have been sold to us like that, but I'm truly grateful it was there, as we probably would not have found out that the ring was fake until years later. I would not recommend doing business with L'Oliphant.
