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!

CHARLOTTE THIEL A very gud man owns and operates the establishment. Has great prices and a sense of humor

j scott Parish jewelers clean and enlarged the size of two diamond rings that I had not worn for years. They sparkle better than I ever remember and fit absolutely perfect. Thank you Parrish Jewelers for making my rings fit again!

Sharon Kelley I received my jewelry and it is beautiful. The colors are bright and just what we expected. The order was received within the 6 week time frame we were given. Leslie went out of her way to make the experience and the jewelry truly special for our family.

Lashelle Plank I have had a wonderful experience with Jamie’s the Diamond Mine. I took in a diamond ring that k step dad left me and Maggie and Patrick were awesome at helping me decide on how to create something I could wear. See picture.They are still helping me to also redesign my wedding set to incorporate an anniversary ring can’t wait to see the finished set.

Emma Wohler This review is long overdue… I took my diamond in to have it set into a simple white gold setting. Bill was so helpful and kind. He took his time with me and all my crazy questions. I really like vintage jewelry and he told me to go to his lancing shop and was able to go through all his vintage setting. And boy did he have the vintage settings. I did end up going with a more modern simple settings. But Bill was so patient while I shorted through his vintage settings. I can’t say enough about this store and its workers. I believe the woman also work a little bits name was Jan, and again awesome lady and so nice. I would highly recommend doing business with Bill you won’t be disappointed. Thank you to Bill and his whole staff !!!!

Pallavi Joshi Loved this place and their collection!!! And more than anything, the prices are so reasonable. I got two pairs of really pretty earrings and both were $9 each.

Kiran Prakash I could not be more happier with the overall experience that I personally had with Sonit Fine Jewelry (SFJ). I bought the diamond ring that I proposed with to my now wife on Valentines day last year. This review is about a year overdue, but let me tell you. I initially started my diamond ring hunt at the end of 2020. Since it was during the peak of pandemic and with all the travel restrictions going in-person to stores were not an option. So, I searched tons of jewelers on the internet and I finally learnt about SFJ through a friends recommendation. I was surprised to know the amount of diamond ring designs and collections they have, in comparison to other big jewelry brands. Their customer reps are very knowledgeable. They are one of the best jewelers that I have come across. He answered every questions that I had over a video conference call. They can pretty much explain the whole end-to-end process right from sourcing the diamond to getting the right insurance after the purchase. They listened to my requirements patiently and recommended the best design and quality of the diamond stone that suited my needed. They also provided me with tons of high resolution images of the sample designs that helped me choose the ring and the diamond. The best part at SFJ is is the custom engraving. They were able to do the engraving on the tiny ring in a language that I needed (Kannada) which no other jeweler was capable of doing in the time frame I had. They worked very respectfully to only show options of the ring and the diamond stone within the budget I gave initially. I am convinced that they could have showed me the ring 10 times the price outside my budget, and I would still choose mine because it is that perfect. The overall process was done in two weeks after confirming the order. Once the order was placed, I was constantly updated about the making process how far they are from shipping. The delivery was an overnight shipment from Chicago to California with a special message. And on the day I proposed, he even checked with me to make sure my now wife liked it. Thanks to SFJ for making our life changing event so special. I would definitely recommend Sonit Fine Jewelry. Updated: My wife surprised me with a ruby stone ring from SFJ for me this year 2022 Valentines day! Extra five more stars!!

Igor Parshin Victor is not only a true professional jeweler with incredible skill and attention to detail, but also great person! I came in for a jewelry appraisal, and he provided honest, thorough insights. The shop has a great selection of unique pieces, and the atmosphere is great and welcoming. Highly recommend Victor for anyone looking for a trusted jeweler in Chicago!
