Beautiful Products and Brilliant Service Make Repeat Business – My fiance and I used to live in Evanston, and when we were looking for her engagement ring we went to all the big chain stores, and also a lot of the little shops, both in Chicago and the northern suburbs. When we walked into some of the big chain stores and told them my fiance was looking for a sapphire rather than a diamond, we pretty much got brushed off. When we walked in to Christopher Duquet's store in Evanston though, it was a different story. As soon as ... read more

Beautiful Restoration on Vintage Wedding Ring – I went to Christopher's looking for some standard diamond replacements on my 60 year old vintage wide band wedding ring. After looking at the ring, I was told about the possiblity of restoration, which included engraving and stone replacement. I was hesitate to do anthing to a ring that had belong to my mother; I didn't want the ring's essence altered. When I saw the ring after it was finished, I couldn't believe the beautifully crafted, intricate engraving. It was a true resto... read more

Amazing from start to finish – I wanted to propose with a ring that was based on something more than just a price tag. On my search for the right place to buy, I went to several stores prior, but looked no further after visiting Christopher Duquet. Christopher helped me find/create the perfect representation of my love and affection. During the design and the diamond selection processes I felt comfortable. Every question I asked was answered in a concise and easy to understand way. I feel that the overall value of the experi... read more

Stunning Jewelry – Very helpful. Great with design and customer service. Competitive pricing. It's the kind of jewelry store you want to build a relationship with and go there for a long time. Everything in the store is stunning. Christopher and his staff helped my husband pick out and design my engagement ring. They are very accomodating. We also got my wedding band there. We purchased new stones. They are also happy to set stones you already have, and sell stones you don't want anymore. Christopher's designs are beautiful ... read more

Pefect fusion of craftsman and technology – The design of my engagement ring was challenging in that it had a rope motif and several challenges to hold the diamond I had from my mother's ring. I sat down with Christopher and we went over my sketches. He told me of the software and new modeling techniques that would allow my design to be possible and still hold the diamonds for a lifetime. In a matter of two weeks he was able to show me beautiful computer renderings. We made changes to the model, and when it was cast in plati... read more

Great Designer & Great Experience – Christopher Duquet was highly recommended to us by my wife's uncle. We now always recommend him to our friends as well. Christopher is not just another jeweler trying to move inventory. Instead, he provides you a customized experience by patiently presenting different metals and styles until he gets a feel for exactly what you like. Then he hand-sketches the design on paper so that you can confirm that it is exactly what you are looking for. His ability to understand his customer's needs c... read more

He will not only listen to what you have to say but he will also make sure he provides you with exactly what it is that you want. I all of my experien... read more

Great Jewelry Store – My husband and I first found Christopher Duquet when searching for wedding bands over a year ago. We worked with Villi who helped us pick out something in their store and then modify and redesign it to match what we wanted. We were so impressed with the quality of service, the fairness of their prices and most importantly, the finished products that we have had three other pieces made by them (earrings to compliment an antique drop necklace and earrings and a necklace with stones we purchased on our hon... read more

Stands out of the crowd – First, allow me to tell you that when it came time to purchase a ring I visited over a dozen other stores. al During this time all I met was pushy sales people, people who told me the same things I had already heard and tried to sell me on why I should purchase a ring from their store. Not one ever took the time to get to know me. Just sales person after sales person just rushing to make their next sale. When I first talked to Christopher DuQuet on the phone he was very polite, nice and reassured me... read more
