About Us
We opened our first store in Elgin in 1960. Over the years, we expanded and had stores in downtown Elgin, in Saint Charles, and in the Spring Hill Mall in West Dundee. In 2003, we decided to leave the mall and build our own free-standing store on Route 31, just a few blocks away from the mall. At 6,000 square feet, we are currently the largest independent fine jewelry store in the Chicagoland area, and are very lucky to have such a great group of customers who've continued to rely on us and follow us over the decades. Our hallmarks of carrying better quality and offering bigger selections of fine jewelry, having more and better jewelry knowledge than the chains and generic jewelry sellers, having superior customer service, and having jewelers with the skills to create many of our own exclusive custom designs have helped make us the premier jewelry store in the Fox Valley. With the area's largest selections of custom designs, bridal jewelry, and estate jewelry, we have a very exciting assortment of pieces to offer. It's a fun and dynamic industry, and our passion for interesting designs and sharing our love for unique pieces with our customers have helped make us the area's oldest and most well-respected jeweler.
