Artisans off Main - Belleville (IL)

Shannon Giese You will not find friendlier, more knowledgeable and welcoming people. Billy and his staff are wonderful. I’ve purchased many different items from Billy, plenty of diamonds, as this is my daughter’s birthstone (rings, earrings), but my favorite story is this… I’d been on the hunt for a “black opal” for 6 years. I walked into The Diamondaire and asked point blank if they had one. I had asked this question of many area jewelers for years. Billy had just returned from a show and happened to have ONE, that was loose. I asked that we get it put into a setting, and that I didn’t care what the cost was. I’d been searching for years, and this stone was sentimental to me. Billy and his staff helped me pick a setting and a few days later I was able to bring home the most beautiful, important ring of my life. I later went back and picked out a band that I thought looked beautiful with my ring; diamonds of course. I’ve been in and out of that store so many times in the last year. To make purchases, sales, get cleanings, resizing or to just chat with friends and love on Adrian. They’re always ready with a friendly smile, hug/handshake and a glass of whatever you’re drinking that day. This is my jeweler. I’ll keep going back to look at the pretty jewelry, chat with kind, wholesome people and pet the cutest pittie you’ve ever seen.

Megan Breeding I had the best experience at Cecena’s. They are all so wonderful and helped me to create a custom piece of jewelry for my daughter’s 21st bday. Using my late mom, sister and grandmas pieces, they listened and cared and created a necklace that was stunning. I was so intimidated to ask a jeweler and I had no reason to be scared. I will never go anywhere else.

Alise Garrison I can’t say enough wonderful things about Kayla and her custom redesigning. She took my engagement and wedding rings and turned them into a perfect ring to signify growth and rebirth. She worked with me to make it my dream ring. I am obsessed!! I highly recommend for anyone looking to do anything custom!

Tanya Orndorff I was looking for a jeweler close to home because my watches needed to get new betteries, and one needed a small repair. I also had some jewelery that I no longer wanted, and thought I would bring it in with me when I dropped off my watches to see if they were interested in them. Susan, the owner, was there and helped me right away. What she didnt know is that I had thought about selling my rings before, and other jewelers had looked at the wedding set. Spencers did make me a better offer, and I was happy to let them go and put that money to good use. I also cant wait to go back and shop around. I wear a lot of business casual attire, and sometimes a nice piece of jewelery makes you look a little more put together. They have jewelery in my budget, and some pretty little things that I cant wait to add to my birthday/anniversary/xmas lists! Also want to note they have a very friendly staff :) 5 stars, 6 flags, 2 thumbs up!

Michelle I can not recommend Joanna at The Babe Bodega enough!! She was absolutely amazing and made my bridal shower so so special! The girls all loved their permanent jewelry take away gift and have been talking about them for days!! Joanna was prompt with communication and treated all the guests with kindness and understanding! She made sure everyone was happy with their jewelry and honeslty was just a gem of a human to work with! There were lots of options to choose from and the setup was gorgeous! She was even sweet enough to leave a little gift afterwards and I cant thank her enough for how amazing she made the day! She will be my go to for any and all special girls events in the future!

Heidi Seagren Brian and his staff are not only knowledgeable, but they are fair, and I trust their expertise. They have beautiful jewelry in all price ranges, do a great job at appraising and are always supporting our community and chamber.

Jerritt Clark Picked up a Rolex for my girlfriend for Christmas from Andy. He was super helpful and very friendly. Gave me a great price and had it delivered to me in LA the next day! The watch is flawless and she was so happy and blown away by it. You made Christmas so memorable for us!
