creative, elegant jewelry – I am a jewelry lover from way back, since I was a little girl. I have long admired excellent craftsmanship and design and delighted in acquiring special pieces to treasure over the years. I have gone to Chris for many years now, and have sent many friends to him as well. I have brought in pieces of jewelry I had not worn for a long time, that needed a new design, and I have recently brought in some stones from pieces of jewelry that had been left to me by loved ones,and about which I had strong fe... read more

A Truly Personal Experience – After doing extensive research we picked CD based on reviews & just an overall good feeling we had when we visited the store on a scouting trip. We were not disappointed! My fiance had a vision in mind for her engagement ring that was quite nontraditional, and Christopher worked directly with her to hand design something that was truly special. We were a little nervous when we were shown a draft computer design that were not exactly what she wanted, but Christopher assured us that because this d... read more

I have been a customer of Christopher Duquet for over twenty years. His jewelry designs are both unique and exquisite. His personal service goes beyond what is expected. I love to wear all my pieces designed by Christopher Duquet. I receive compliments on my Christopher Duquet jewelry all the time.

Best place to get rings made! – So a while ago I decided to propose to my now wife. I had my mothers engagement ring and a ring that was handed down from my grandmother. I had no idea what kind of ring to pick out so I proposed with these 2 rings and I thought we could shop for a ring together. We looked at a few big type jewelry stores but we weren't feeling it. Somehow we came across Christopher Duquet and thought we would check it out. We talked to Villi for a bit about what we were looking to do and she started sketching... read more

Why it pays to recycle! – I first went to Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry on the recommendation of a friend. I had collected several pieces of jewelry that I was no longer wearing and wanted to have Christopher design a simple ring with some of the gems from the older rings I brought in to recycle. I also brought in a beautiful antique brooch with the intent of converting it into a necklace. On the brooch, a new bail was added with an etched design matching the design of the brooch. Christopher and Villi went over step by st... read more

I want to add my strong recommendation! – Evanston is known for independent thought and creative expression., and Christopher Duquet is a perfect fit for this town. Trusting a new jeweler is often difficult, but from the first interaction with Christopher and his staff, I felt right at home. I was not an easy client, as I had no idea what I wanted to do with a ring that I had not worn in over 10 years. In less than an hour Christopher was able to hear what I had to say and steer me to a set of stacking rings. Within weeks he... read more

Best Diamond in the Exhibit – Christopher Duquet helped me design and chose the right diamond, curvilinear setting and metal to make my engagement ring. I had seen an older version of the design of the ring back in the early 1990's in the Reader. I called the store, made an appointment and Christopher himself attended to me when I got to the store. The ring came out beautiful and right on time. After picking up the ring, I placed it in the 'Nature of Diamonds' exhibit at the Field Museum on Valentine's Day. It was a big hit,... read more

Stunning Craftsmanship, Wonderful Service – When we first visited Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry, we were unsure exactly what we wanted in an engagement ring. In a very small amount of time, Stanley, our jeweler, was able to guide us to a design that we immediately fell in love with. The quality of both the service and the craftsmanship was outstanding, but what really stood out to us was how every step in the designing of our ring felt personal. The result is a beautiful piece of jewelry that feels incredibly special becau... read more

The 4 C's: Creativity, Caring, Cost-effectiveness, Competent – Christopher Duquet's work is fabulous. He has created a number of one of a kind pieces for us from rings to necklaces. Most recently he and his team of professionals took 8 diamonds from a 1920's family heirloom pin and re-designed my engagement ring using a center stone we had purchased from him years before. The new setting is unique and utterly beautiful! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We highly recommend Christopher.
