Review content:
My husband and I first found Christopher Duquet about 12 years ago as we were ready to get engaged, (this is when he was at his old location, around the corner from his beautiful store on Chicago Ave. near Dempster). We knew we did not want to use one of those huge chain jewelers you find in the mall, as we are always fans of supporting the independent business-person, and we thought we would get more personalized service this way. \r
\r
WOW! The service we received was unparalleled: Christopher is clearly an expert in his field, and yet he and his staff patiently took us through all our options for our budget; he allowed us much input in the design of our own rings so that they would reflect our style; he treated us and our pending marriage as if we were the most important customers to him; he is always warm, friendly, and quick with a joke and a smile; and he always welcomes us back for cleanings and adjustments, even if we are just browsing his continually growing and gorgeous collection.\r
\r
If you're like most people (certainly like us!), buying high-quality, finely-crafted jewelry is not an everyday event; because of the money and the emotion involved in such a special purchase, you want to feel that you - and your jewelry - are exceptional, unique. Christopher Duquet treats you this way; you KNOW you are not just a number in an impersonal, mechanized, commercialized business (a-hem - MALL jewelers!), but that your purchase will be as distinctive as you feel YOU are. Besides, supporting the local ""main street merchant"" just feels so much better than shopping at a large corporate store, where they'll never remember you when you come in a year later to get your rings cleaned! \r

Christopher Duquet: Friendly, personalized service and exceptional craftsmanship, which make you feel unique when you are marking a momentous occasion with exceptional jewelry.
Pros: personalized service, parking, in-store lighting, store security
