Diamonds Chicago

We went to Diamonds Chicago and were helped by Fahmina, who was amazing. We had been shopping in several other diamond stores before but this experience was unique. She not only properly educated us about diamonds, but also helped us find the perfect diamond within our budget and quality standards. Learning more about the diamond and actually seeing it first hand through a magnifying glass helped us know exactly what diamond we were buying and helped us create the perfect ring! I would highly recommend Diamonds Chicago. more

I would highly recommend Diamonds Chicago and my experience there. Carlee and Fahmina both helped me with my purchase. They were very patient with me and were not trying to sell me the most expensive thing. This place was the only place to sit me down for over two hours and educate me about the very specifics about buying an engagement ring. Not to mention I went pricing around several different locations and Diamonds Chicago still had the best deals. more

My wife wanted to upgrade the diamond on her 36-year-old engagement ring. We picked Diamonds Chicago off the web, made an appointment for two days later and had a pleasant shopping and buying experience. Our salesperson, Fahmina, was very knowledgable, patient and helpful. She was able to understand and match my wife's preferences. We ended up buying the larger diamond and got what we think was a fair price plus a fair tradein on the old diamand and some other gold. The upgrade of the engagement ring was performed during the same visit, and the only disappointment was that it took about an hour and a half rather than the indicated 40 minutes. after we agreed to the sale more

This place was wonderful! Fahmina was so helpful and patient, especially with a couple who had no idea where to start! She took her time teaching us about diamonds and helped us put together a sketch of our one-of-a-kind ring. The price was very reasonable for such a great quality diamond and much less than a big box jewelery store. I am going back for our wedding bands! more

Diamonds Chicago is REMARKABLE!! They take old jewelry and make it sparkle!! I took six rings to size, clean, repair-came back from lunch they were all ready- there!! Fahmina is fabulous, their prices are fair, the service exceptional- beyond compare! Places like this are really rare-such a great find-I wanted to share !! more

I started here on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm glad I did. Jamie was very helpful and patient and gave me a thorough education on what to look for in a diamond. It's overwhelming finding the right stone and setting, but they were very helpful in breaking down the process for me. I felt like I was getting the inside scoop with all the info she gave me, and it made me much more comfortable when I talked with other salespeople at other stores. I checked out several other stores after that, but the information they gave me at Diamonds Chicago was so helpful that I ended up coming back here for the final purchase. I got a very good deal on a ring in the end, and best of all, my fiancee loves it! I'd definitely recommend this place to guys like me, who are looking for just the right ring. They do a good job. more

My experience at Diamonds Chicago made picking out and engagement ring incredibly memorable. They were extremely informative and knowledgable, which made the experience more enjoyable than stressful. Carlee was great and so much help picking out a diamond and designing a custom ring. They were so patient and accommodating with me, no matter how many times I changed my mind or how much time I took making decisions. I never felt pressured and they were always honest. My experience here was wonderful and we will be back to design our wedding bands. more

Diamonds Chicago is the best. Don't hesitate to go there for the best experience in diamond shopping whatever your need may be. The staff there is very helpful. Mary Z. more

Our experience at Diamonds Chicago started out with anxiety due to us not knowing what we were doing or knowing anything about diamonds. Due to the wonderful staff at Diamonds Chicago our experience ended up being personal, fun and romantic. We purchased the engagement ring and our wedding bands at Diamonds Chicago. Everyone was helpful and informative, we worked mainly with Fahmina, Carlee and Jonathon and they really treated us well. Thanks so much. Patrick and Susan more

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Diamonds Chicago when upgrading my diamond ring. I met several times with Carlee who gave me a broad range of options all around my price range. She educated me and helped me choose the most beautiful diamond. No pressure. I will now only go to Diamonds Chicago for any of my diamond needs. Ask for Carlee. more

I came looking for an engagement ring from here without knowing very much about diamonds. They educated me about all I needed to know and we began looking. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase anything and best of all, I came out nearly 500 dollars under my budget! I can't be bothered to get ripped off at chain stores. more

I went with my future father-in-law to choose an engagement ring for my Mama. Jaime explained the different characteristics of a diamond and patiently showed us a range of diamonds explaining with each one what to look for. We gave her out price range and she then helped us select a fabulous diamond and setting. It was a great experience and we are so happy with the results. Highly recommended. more

Hi all, I have been going here since 2005 when my husband and I first got our wedding set. I am planning to return there for this holiday to get his ring resized and rhodium plated. Carlee has always been helpful to us and we plan to continue to go there. Thanks Diamonds Chicago and we will see you soon!! more

A couple of years ago, after 17 years of marriage, I picked out and bought a new diamond ring from Diamonds Chicago. I was stunned at the quality, beauty and prices of the merchandise in the store. I have a ring that looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. I have referred family and friends and recently took my cousin there to buy a ring for his fiancee-to-be. She is ecstatic with her ring as well and they are setting a date. Diamonds Chicago is across the street from some great restaurants that I have ate at after visiting the store. I plan on going back soon for more diamond jewelry. Can't beat the location, prices or quality! more

After deciding to ask my girl to marry me last summer, I needed to pick up an engagement ring. Since I actually wanted to pay for a wedding I was hoping I could get a really nice ring & a good price. I started out with the suburban mall type chain jewelers, where I felt that I was resigned to be charged an arm & a keg for a pebble of a diamond. I then decided to take a day off & head down to jewelers row. After spending some time in a few of the stores I was feeling much better, but just as confused as to what to buy as ever. I just decided to head out, grab some lunch, & debate whether to head home or keep going. On my way down the elevator, it stopped at 2 & I saw ""Diamonds Chicago"". I decided to give it one last shot. I was introduced to Ashley & she educated me, not only on the 4 C's but more factors I should look at & tips of what I could look for to find a the perfect diamond at a great value. She truly was more concerned with me knowing what to look for than to sell me a ring. We decided to look at a number of diamonds on stock. As we went through them, she put 2 diamonds side by side & asked me which one I liked the best. She even gave me one of the little eye pieces & she pointed out the symmetries & the flaws. As I picked the one I liked, she would have me compare it to others until I found the best diamond in the stock we chose from. I came back to visit twice more & she patiently went through the same process with me & on the 3rd try, I found a 1-plus carat diamond that completely sparkled at an unbelievable price. The ring I wound up with probably would have cost at least a thousand more at one of the ""chain"" jewelers. Also, since I didn't know what ring to buy for her, they set it on a plain white gold ring & after I proposed, I came back with my new fianc more

If your looking for jeweler with a professional and knowledgeable staff, your first stop should be Diamonds Chicago. We were attended by Ray and Mrs.Carly who were great. It started off with a brief explanation on what actually goes into making a ring, and why they cost so much. We were then taken on what I consider to be the most informative diamond class on the planet, I felt as if I were a certified gemologist by the time we left the store. We were shown the difference in color,clarity, and carat weight. Ray who had been nothing less than outstanding, actually helped us hand pick all of our diamonds, which i thought was very unique. After an hour or so we finally came down to the moment of truth, how much is all of this going to cost me. Mrs.Carly came over and put my mind at ease. Ray had done such an amazing job finding out what we wanted, and where we wanted to be as far as a budget, that by the time everything was said and done we actually came out spending 200$ under budget, yay!! I am so happy with our purchase from Diamonds Chicago that I know I will be a repeat customer. I cant wait to go back. more

We were so impressed with the service and prices that we received on our visit to Diamonds Chicago. We were greeted by a lovely lady and I told her that I wanted to have 5 stones set in a band. Due to the size of the stones, we were referred to Carlie (Manager and Designer). We were so impressed with her, she listened to exactly what I was looking for, she took her time and showed us many options and together we came up with the perfect setting!!! I also wanted a stone designed into a pendant from a ring I had, she suggested many ideas and once we decided on the setting, she sent it off where they made the setting and set the stone and within 1 hour, I had the pendant back and more beautiful than I could ever imaged...for a fraction of the price I was quoted elsewhere. The other important factor with doing business with Diamonds Chicago is that I felt comfortable at all times with releasing my diamonds to them. They are easy to work with, not pushy to make a sale, they listen to our needs and educated us on many aspects of buying diamonds, selling my un-used gold pieces and gave us many options and designs for my new purchases. YEAH!! I'm so happy we found this place! We will continue to go back for new jewelry and also to re-design my old jewelry into something new and beautiful. I would suggest making an appointment before you go, as you don't want to rush a ""GEM"" purchase. more

It's taken me a while to do this, but I thought it was important to finally sit down and write a positive review for Diamonds Chicago. I mean, they really deserve it. It would be rude of me not to... As should be obvious by now from all the other reviews, Carlee is a force to be reckoned with. Having read a thousand different things about diamonds before going in to get that all important ring, I thought I might have some idea of what I was doing. I was wrong. Thankfully Carlee knew what I was doing and helped me figure out what I was doing. By the time I walked out of there I felt like a diamond snob! She showed me how to find imperfections in diamonds, not to take carats so seriously and not to put so much importance on things that, when it comes right down to it, aren't that important to finding a beautiful diamond. The thing that really makes them super awesome in my book is that I had a very specific setting in mind for the engagement ring. Diamond in the middle, opals on either side...but what I didn't realize when deciding I wanted that, is that opals are an incredibly hard stone to match. Carlee made some calls to her preferred opal friends and we proceeded to go on a 3 hour journey trying to find the perfect stones. When one place wasn't open, she tried another. When that one didn't have the stones we needed, she tried another. And she didn't give up the opal search until I got what I wanted. She very easily could have just told me to settle for any old stones that would fit in the ring. But she made certain I had exactly the right color and size and at the end of the day the ring turned out perfect. It was wonderful having someone be so patient and take so much of their day to dedicate just to making my ring. So I'm now engaged and my fiancee loves her ring and everyone that sees it says it's absolutely beautiful...because it is. It's a labor of love, and it's all thanks to Diamonds Chicago! They rock! more

I came here looking for a graduation present for myself. They have a great selection, and gave me all the time I needed to try on and choose a ring. They were also really helpful with advice on stones. I would definitely recommend going here! more
