About this business
M. Martin & Co. sells jewelry for the quality-conscious individual at wholesale prices. Every diamond sold is personally selected by Stan Perkins, Owner and Graduate Gemologist. In today's market, most diamonds are not cut properly, so only a very small percentage of all the diamonds we inspect are even considered for purchase by our company. We carry a wide range of sizes and qualities including some that display the "hearts and arrows" faceting pattern. For engagement ring and wedding band buyers, we have over 400 rings an... read more

Make this your first and last stop! – After months of looking for the perfect engagement ring, my boyfriend (now fiance!) and I decided to check out M Martin and Company....I told Mr. Martin what I was looking for and how I wanted my ring to look. He was able to design and modify a ring into the most beautiful, perfect engagement ring! My fiance and I are so happy with the final ring! We are recommending him to all our family and friends for any of their jewelry needs. The price was unbeatable as well, which made the ring al... read more
Genuine top class Jewelers – When chosing my engagement ring for my Fiance , i had searched the city far and wide, from shopping Mall's to main street stores and most of the shops at Jewelers row downtown. I found that when i steped into M Martin's store it was a total different experience. There i met Mr Steve Martin who was willing to spend time showing me different things that i had not seen or heard of at the other stores. He was an absolute gentleman and acted like a true professional. When i seen the final product afte... read more
Business response:
We hand select every diamond we sell, which is why I insist that the sales people on my staff be trained and experienced GIA gemologists. A little known fact is that very few jewelers hold the title of Graduate Gemologist from GIA. People don't know this and never bother to ask the jeweler if he is a GIA Graduate Gemologist before making their appointment (they should!). We use some of the top diamond cutters in the world and put a lot of effort into every selection. We do not just order diamonds for customers off a computer... read more
The best! – 23 years ago I bought my then fiance (now ex-wife..lol) a ring from M. Martin. It was beautiful and people routinely stopped her in the hall or at the store or on the street to tell her what a beautiful ring it was! I took this ring at times to be inspected at your normal mall jewlery store and they too commented on the beauty and told me they couldn't even get a stone like it! I was concerned enough that each time I got the ring back I would inspect it through a lupe to ensure it was still our stone! Steve taugh... read more
Business response:
We have, of course, remodeled the store since you've been in. Here's an interesting fact: We are the oldest established jewelry business in the Jewelers Center which is something people find comforting considering all the stores going out of business these days. We have no intention of ever moving because we our low overhead location helps us keep our prices down.
Very Educational – When looking for an engagement ring, I walked in here off the street with no referral or appointment. Mr. Martin sat me down and spent an hour teaching me about diamonds and pulling out some he happened to have in the store. He was patient, intelligent, and very pleasant to learn from. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how crucial having an appointment at a lot of these stores was because they have to pull diamonds in from other stores they sell through. As I was under some time constraints to essentially pi... read more
One store you will want to visit – This is one store you will want to visit. First of all, if you want to know anything about diamonds, visit their web site. They have more information on their site than every other site I visited combined. I had previously shopped around a bit on Jewelers Row looking for a round GIA stone with the cut grade of "excellent" and barely found any. Steve was able to show me the largest selection of GIA diamonds with the "excellent" cut grade that I could find anywhere. Of course, then I found ou... read more
The ONLY jeweler you'll ever need – M Martin & Co. came highly recommended by a close friend and though now living in Bulgaria, I gave them a try. Steve answered all of my questions thoroughly and exceeded ALL other jewelers - even the well-known ones with their characteristic turquoise-blue boxes I visited in person. I felt confident enough and ended up buying a beautiful 1+carat diamond engagement ring in a custom setting ONLINE without visiting in person. After the wedding, my wife and I visited Chicago and dropped by the... read more
Business response:
Thanks, Bill. We always like to see you when you are in the the U.S. visiting your family. By the way, it was really nice of you to share your wedding pictures with us.
trustworthy, honest and friendly – M.Martin was recommended by several of our friends. I had to get my wife an anniversary present. I specifically asked for the owner, Steve. He was very helpful and made good suggestions which were within the budget I had set for myself. I walked out very happy and my wife thought I was a hero!
Business response:
Our business has been around for 68 years. My sales people average over 20 years experience.
Great diamonds to look at – I found my shopping experience to be interesting. I started out going to a couple of stores that had a lot of diamonds listed on their web site. Neither store actually had any of the diamonds listed but offered to order similar ones for me from their computer. Thinking this was the norm for doing business, I had one of the stores order in two diamonds for me to see. The jeweler told me both of them looked nice judging by the numbers on the computer screen. I came back a few days later but didn't l... read more
If you like quality – I worked in a jewelry store for a few years working my way through college and law school, and although this was a number of years ago, I think I am better versed in diamonds and jewelry than most consumers. I was looking for a princess or round diamond. Of a number of places I visited, the stones at M. Martin were by far the best "make" as we used to call it in the trade. I decided to buy a GIA stone with an "excellent" cut grade. They were able to show me more stones with this cut grade than any of th... read more
