In researching jewelry designers for a unique engagement ring, I quickly became frustrated with the process, feeling overwhelmed and oversold at many Chicagoland jewelry stores. After a few months of searching, I was advised by a close friend to go to Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry Design in Evanston. From the moment I walked into Christopher Duquet's shop, I was greeted warmly and attended to quickly. There was none of the pretentiousness and sales tactics I had begun to associate with jewelry stores. Christopher provided me with an extensive education in buying fine jewelry, particularly all of the minutiae associated with purchasing a diamond. To have the busy owner of the shop spend this kind of time with a customer is incredible. Christopher and his staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Despite the attentiveness, I never felt pressured to buy and was encouraged to act at my own pace. Needless to say, I was so impressed by Christopher and quality of the jewelry at Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry that my wife's engagement ring and our wedding bands were designed by Christopher - we could not have been more pleased. Since our marriage 8 years ago, we have continued to use Christopher Duquet for all of our jewelry purchases and have recommended him to ALL of our friends and acquaintances with 100% positive results. Christopher Duquet and his staff truly set the standard for fine jewelry and we are proud to be lifelong customers.
Pros: Beautiful store, impeccable customer service
