A perfectly, wonderful buying experience... – Prior to visiting Christopher's store, i had visited another jewelry store looking for engagement rings and was not comfortable with my experience. I felt like the staff at the other store were a bit pushy and tried to talk me out of a ring that I was drawn too and thought would be the style that my girlfriend would enjoy. After that experience, I had the thought to look in Evanston, since I work there, and try to find something that would be easy for me to get to. I searched onl... read more

Simply the Best! – From the moment I walked into Christopher Duquet's Fine Jewelry in Evanston, I realized I wasn't in your typical jewelry store. From the high quality of the pieces on display, to the laid-back, non-pushy approach, to the superior craftsmanship in the work – Christopher, and his staff, made a stressful situation a breeze. When I walked in to Duquet's for the first time, I fumbled around the engagement ring section for a few moments before Christopher himself guided me through the process. He was very patien... read more

Can't Wait to Come Back! – After an around the world search for engagement rings which took me to Jeweler's Row, the suburbs, Indianapolis, and even to a few online jewelers I found myself in Christopher's shop one early Saturday morning after a highly regarded recommendation from a colleague. The recommendation was spot on! Christopher and his team were professionals through and through. Being fairly new to buying high end jewelery, he and his team were with me every step of the way. They were attentive during the whole pro... read more

Great experience! – 10 years ago I designed my first set of wedding rings with a jeweler in Chicago. I wasn't sure what I wanted at the time, but my husband-to-be and I worked with the jeweler and came up with a design that seemed to fit. I was uncomfortable with anything that was "typical" or "too flashy". I was searching for something really unique and artsy. I was given three diamonds from my husband and his family (two handed down from his mother), so I felt a bit limited in my design options for the ring. Once the ring ... read more

Perfection! – I visited a lot of chain stores and you can tell that all the rings are mass produced and nothing special. A co-worker of mine told me about Christopher and how you can go to him with an idea and he'll make a reality. Well, this he did and then some! I came to him with a few simple ideas and with no real knowledge of engagement rings. He made me feel comfortable from the start and walked me through everything. I loved being able to choose & change things along the way to get to what I really wanted in a ring. Y... read more

Wonderful experience at Christopher Duquet! – Working with Christopher and Villi was great from start to finish. We decided to visit the store after searching online and reading some great reviews, and we were impressed as we walked in. The store is great and had such a nice selection compared to all the boring old chain stores. Plus, the service was excellent. We always felt welcome, and all of the questions I had were answered without hesitation. They were more than happy to educate us on both the diamond buying process as... read more

Ideal Experience! – Getting engaged doesn’t happen every day. I wasn’t about to leave one of the most memorable moments of my life to chance.

I researched many jewelers and stores and found the most favorable reviews to be for Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry Design. From the moment I walked in, Christopher and his staff were supportive and patient with me as I explored the options available. Christopher and Villi treated me wit... read more

Great Experience – My fiance and I had an excellent experience here. The experience of designing our own ring was worth it without even considering the exceptional service and friendly faces. I was particularly impressed with how laid back and easy they made the design process. It was a huge comfort to be able to see the solid model and wax model before we committed to the ring. Villi helped us through the whole process and they definitely earned their money. Thanks, Villi.

What Custom is Supposed to Mean – When I wanted to propose to my wife, I had a good idea of what I wanted, and it involved the ability to cast metal into a unique shape. I had searched for 'custom jewelery', and to my dismay this seemed to mean the same thing: pick a setting, pick a stone or stones, and the marriage of those two became a 'custom' ring. That didn't work for me, my setting was in my head, and I needed to find someone who could collaborate with me from the beginning. Then I found Christopher Duquet, and when I ... read more
