I had a wedding set that had sentimental value but was ready to let it go. I had many referrals to a well known local jewler Christopher. I visited the store and the gentleman informed me that christopher himself would need to give a offer since the value was above his range. I returned and Christopher the jewler declined to make an offer. He referred me around the corner and said that the store around the corner would be interested in the 3ct. diamond wedding set. As a respected jewler of our area, I took his recommendation and visited the store. The wait staff was very interested in the diamond rings. They used several testers and tossed my rings around on their counter. This was very rude and unprofessional. I couldn't hardly believe the attitude, and as if that wasn't enough, the offer was insulting. I returned to Christophers show room and told him of my experience. He said he would take the rings apart and custom make jewlery. That was acceptableto me. But he himself wasn't ready to make a offer.

She showed me a pair of yellow gold, screw back posts with yellow diamonds. They were gorgeous but way out of my price range. I told her how much I had to spend and she suggested I stop in on a Saturday and talk to Christopher.
She explained that the jeweler, Christopher split his time between the Rockford, IL and Beloit WI location. She said he was in Rockford most of the week but was always in Beloit on Saturday's.
I look forward to stopping by and seeing what he can do for me on a limited budget.
The interior of the store was beautifully decorated in a simple classy way. The display cabinets are tall and well lit. Lots of beautiful jewelry that you will never see at a box store.
I suggest stopping in and looking around if you're in the mood for...
   Read moreMy wifeâs wedding band broke, and after some thought, we decided to have the diamonds reset instead of repairing the existing ring. We visited several jewelers, and it quickly became clear who we wanted to trust with this special project. Christopher stood out from the start. He asked detailed questions, listened carefully, and even sketched a few designs, showing that he truly understood our vision.
His professionalism and clear vision made it easy for us to trust him with such an important piece. And weâre so glad we did! The final result exceeded both of our expectations. The ring turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined.
The customer service was exceptional throughout the process. It was reassuring to know that we were not just investing in a local business, but in such wonderful people. Christopher and his wife are truly amazing, and theyâve earned our trust and loyalty. Weâll be customers for life, and we couldnât recommend them...
