Jewelry Stores in Des Plaines, IL

“I wanted to have some jewelry looked at to see if I had anything of value. I called a few jewelry stores and a jewelry appraiser but they charge a lot just to look at the jewelry. I then decided to try Alexander's to see if they could help me.
They took the time to tell me what each piece was made of and it's approximate value. Exactly what I needed to know! When I asked about the fee, I was told there was no charge. Amazing!
Who does anything for free these days?
I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to value or sell some jewelry.”

“My family and I have been customers of R.C. Wahl Jewelers for years - decades, in fact. I have also referred countless friends and additional family members here, as well. When you are looking to purchase a piece of jewelry, not only do you want to know that it is in fact well made and of quality materials, but you want to know that there is service and a good reputation behind it too. If quality and service aren't of the highest importance, then internet or chain jewelry stores may be your best bet and they may work out just as well for you. But if those things do matter to you, R.C. Wahl is where you should shop. They stand behind their products. Period. Every piece of jewelry myself or my husband have purchased has been an informed decision, based on their highly knowledgable staff. Every employee here is truly top notch, but Jesse and Francesca have gone above and beyond with their service over the years. I have also had custom pieces made that were done exactly to my specifications, with options and ample help provided. And please know, while they do sell a large variety of fine jewelry, they also offer a good selection of far more reasonably priced jewelry, for every budget. Their stackable rings are also something not to be missed. For great jewelry and amazing service, start here. You will be glad you did.”

“I decided to have a diamond made through LifeGem because I cared for my mom at home during her final years with dementia. Those years were some of the most beautiful and hardest times of my life—moments I will hold close to my heart forever. “Beautiful” and “hard” are the perfect words to describe that experience, and what better way to capture that than with a diamond—the hardest natural substance on Earth—created from my mom’s ashes.

I just received my diamond from LifeGem, and it is absolutely stunning. From start to finish, the process was handled with such care, respect, and kindness. Every phone call and email kept me updated and made me feel completely confident that I had made the right decision.

I am so proud to wear this diamond to honor my mom’s beautiful life, the love she gave me, and the special journey we shared, especially in those last years. Thank you so much to everyone at LifeGem for being so thoughtful and supportive.”

“Thomas is the best jeweler I have worked with. The quality of his pieces and craftsmanship speak for themselves. He has tons of designs to choose from in store and is super easy to work with if you have a specific vision in mind. His diamond ring prices for engagement rings are the best and anyone that checks them out will agree. He is a true gem!”

“New to the area, but couldn’t be happier meeting Scott. I went to three separate stores looking for silver in particular. Don’t know what the fuss is about, the guy was honest, straight forward and gave me exactly what I wanted and didn’t make a dollar. When was the last time you walked into a pawn shop and walked out feeling happy? Same. I don’t remember either.

Scott, I will be back for another 1oz bar but please keep a 5oz on the side for me.

Cheers”
