Raksheen I had a such a lovely experience finding this jewelry store in Chicago. This is a historic shop, and I believe is one of the first jewelry stores in Chicago! The owner, Craig, was such a pleasure to talk to. His grand started this store in the 1899. He is one of the rare jewelers that spends time talking to you about your needs and helps you find a piece that fits your budget and interests. He has so many unique pieces, and even more in the back. For someone who was visiting and had a very low budget (for real jewelry), he was able to provide me with so many options. He also gave me so much knowledge. I love looking at jewelry, and there is so much vintage designer jewelry as well. The prices here are pretty good!

Bill Techau Christopher listened attentively to my partner and me, set his creative mind working, and created two beautiful rings. He spoke honestly about the price and did not push us into anything we did not want. He provided expert guidance and advice without being overbearing. He is a helluva a good conversationalist! And his wife Lois is kind, knowledgeable, and good at maths. What a beautiful partnership!

Amanda Ford 10 + years ago my husband brought me a loose tanzanite stone from overseas. For the first time I actually received the BEST help & advice to design a custom ring. Kelli at the Waterloo location was phenomenal & patient, & she listened offering suggestions & guidance in protecting and preserving the stone. Thank you so much Kelli & staff for making this the best experience.

anthony bonilla Walked in didn’t know what to expect, hoping for the best on finding a ring for soon bride to be, and had a great experience. Monique Hervy made it so easy, and I appreciate her professionalism. Found the perfect ring, that was truly meant to be. I also found one for myself too. I truly commend and appreciate Monique for everything she helped me today with putting my mind at ease. Everything happened the way it was supposed to happen

No “Hayhay10040” This store isn’t my favorite for service. The last few times I’ve been there they claim they can’t clean my jewelry due to high traffic in the store but no one has been in there besides maybe one person. Little disappointing. In addition staff has a bit of an attitude unless they think you are actually buying something

Alex Dominguez Bought a aztec calendar pendant and a chain good price set will recommend.

Marylou Morin We had the BEST experience working with Susan! She helped us find our dream engagement ring and made the whole process feel so special and stress-free. She took the time to really listen to what we wanted, guided us with her expertise, and made sure every detail was perfect. On top of that, she also helped me create the perfect earring stack, and I’m absolutely obsessed with how it turned out. Susan is knowledgeable, kind, and truly amazing at what she does—we couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!

Tiera Austin I have gotten my back dimples pierced and tongue pierced, and the piercer made it a very fast Experience. He was very professional and all about business. He made me feel safe and comfortable through the Piercings. I thank Him so much. He’s very talented and skilled. I probably will get Pierced more.

ᗰคгรєlค ᗰ. Area 66 has been a part of livingston, Illinois, since 2005. It is housed in the 1926 built Livingston high school! Theres 30,000 square feet of antique mall named after its iconic pink elephant that is smack dab right in the front yard! They have a bunch of other fiberglass giant unique photo ops, too! People can see then right from the interstate as theyre driving by, I think its a great addition cause it makes people want to pull over and check it out. For years, we drove by this place wanting to stop but never had the time, but today, we finally made that stop! Inside, there is a 50s diner, ice cream, fudge & Candy Shop, antique mall, haunted school. There are also over 100 booths with a ton of antiques, collectibles, jewelry, home goods, Tupperware, metal signs, and a lot of nostalgic things that I remember from my childhood!
