Azar Jewelers — Local services in Geneva Township

Small family jewelry store, HUGE HEART for customers! My son inherited a +70 year lion ring from his 102 year old great aunt that belonged to his grandfather, Leo. The lion ring, worn to the point of cracks and a misshapen face was a beloved ring and inheritance. I knew of only one jeweler who had the expertise to perhaps refresh the ring, Azar Jewelers of South Barrington. I handed the ring to Peter, the owner, who looked at the ring as I told its heartfelt story and its meaning to my son. Peter said he truly understood the sentiment, he too had an inheritance, a letter from his dad that was priceless to him. Peter took the ring and said he would try a unique laser process to rebuild the ring without loosing its essence; the ring would retain its history, its substance, its meaning. I picked up the ring today, and cried upon seeing it. The ring had been restored to its original glory. Peter is a jeweler for the joy, love and sentiment that a piece of beloved jewelry evokes in its owner. That is Azar Jewelers. They understand that an ancient, worn ring represents a life, has a history and has deep abiding emotion and memory for its owner. This lion will will now share a life with my son, and then his son. Thank you Peter for listening with your heart and then using your expertise, unrivaled skills and knowledge to bring this ring...

I want to start by saying I’m not one to leave reviews and this is the first negative google review I’ve ever had to do for a company, but I feel that we were treated so poorly when we came into the store that it was honestly shocking and warranted a review.

I called Azar a day before coming to store to see if they purchased gold jewelry and was told that they do and I should come in. When I came in with my mother and kids, I was told that the jeweler would look over my things. I told the jeweler that once he told me what he would give us for the jewelry, before deciding to sell anything to them, I wanted to call my husband to talk over the prices that were offered to us for the gold. I think anyone with a spouse/partner understands that would be the case before going through with a large sale. I told the jeweler I wasn’t sure what any of it was worth, but if it was worth that we thought, I would want to sell it. The jeweler responded extremely rudely telling me that he’s not going to spend his time appraising it for a sale if I wasn’t willing to sell it. He told me to go other places and come back if I wanted to sell it to them because they would give me the best price. I was very willing to sell it to this jeweler and his attitude and brash demeanor completely ruined...

I have worked with Azar Jewelers - the South Barrington location on a few custom pieces. Peter, the owner, was extremely helpful in educating me on the process of making a custom piece and working with me on picking the perfect stone and design for my ring. I am so happy with my new ring. It is stunning!!! I am excited to have found a local jeweler that I can trust and refer my family and friends to. I look forward to many more jewelry purchases from Azar. Stop in and check out the store they have a lot of jewelry in stock to shop!! Thanks again Azar...
