Komal at Windy City Diamonds is truly a miracle worker. My fiancée and I walked into Windy City after having booked some appointments at other jewelers on Wabash. I had read the wo...
nderful reviews on Google Maps and figured it'd be worth it walk in. We met with Komal, who has an incredible knack for figuring out exactly what my fiancée wanted in a ring. For someone who might be a bit overwhelmed and particular about rings, Komal was able to quickly point us in the right direction.
The most amazing part of Windy City is that their settings are completely customized. We conveyed the parts of all the settings we had already seen, and Komal sketched up a quick drawing while we talked. That sketch got sent it to a CAD designer, and we were able to see blueprints of the setting and make adjustments, then we were able to see a wax mold of the ring before it was cast in gold. The time between the wax mold and actually picking up the ring was less than two weeks. For something being completely made from scratch, this was amazing. We also got an fantastic price on the diamond itself, and Komal was very detailed about color, clarity and cut and what to look for in each, making sure to educate us on everything. The ring came out more beautiful than we ever could have hoped for, and Komal was helpful and communicative every single step of the way.
We returned to Windy City to get our wedding bands created, and Komal knocked it out of the park again. She fielded every question and concern we had, and was able to again point us in the right direction with both of our bands. I highly suggest listening to her with open ears - she knows EXACTLY what she's doing and she knows exactly what you want, even if you don't seem to know yourself!
We were recommended to Windy City Diamonds after having troubles with my ring after being newly engaged. Garry was fantastic to work with, he’s very knowledgeable when it comes to ...
diamonds and reconstruction of settings. We can’t thank him and his team enough for helping us fix my ring and make it perfect. We will be back for our wedding bands and will pass along the jeweler to friends and family.
My husband and I couldn’t recommend Windy City Diamonds enough! Victor worked with us for every piece. He is patient, reliable, and ALWAYS delivers an excellent product. Hopefully ...
I will get to work with him again! :)
Victor was the jeweler we worked with and he was absolutely amazing! He was so personable and super understanding about the whole process. He walked up through everything, and made...
a video explaining the bridal choices (because brides always have a tougher choice). He was very flexible when I (the bride) changed my mind on what kind of ring I wanted and made sure it was exactly what I wanted. Windy City Diamonds was the best choice you can make for purchasing your wedding bands!
My husband bought my engagement ring and both of our wedding bands from WCD with the help of Victor and we couldn’t be happier. After going to most stores on Jewelr’s row, Victor w...
as the easiest to work with by far! He is very organized, creative and able to translate an idea into a gorgeous piece. He is also one of the nicest people you can possibly meet (the entire staff is wonderful) so it is a place you will feel great about making a purchase from.
In the heart of Jewler’s Row in Chicago is this gem (pun intended). I worked with Denise to create a custom engagement ring for my wife that she instantly fell in love with. Denise...
was able to work within my price range and had no problems helping my wife create the perfect wedding band to go with her engagement ring. I highly recommend WCD for engagement rings and wedding bands.
I got married in August and worked with Denise to find my perfect wedding band. She was so incredibly patient as I could not make up my mind and was also trying to be cost-conscio...
us. I visited a few times before officially deciding and her opinion was the cherry on top because I learned to trust it greatly. It is a great store in Chicago and I would 100% recommend Windy City Diamonds to everyone I know!
For anyone looking for that first engagement ring, that special gift, or a new diamond to celebrate an anniversary, I would recommend Victor at Windy City Diamonds in a heartbeat. ...
Victor is a seasoned professional who knows how to listen, knows how to respect your budget, and has the expertise to help you evaluate many choices. My family has come to Windy City for many purchases in the last few years, and the atmosphere there is unpretentious and inviting. Call Victor. You will not be sorry, and you will love your new jewelry.
We had a great expereicne working with Windy City for our wedding bands. The staff was helpful, friendly and professional. I would recommend to any other couple. :)
When my now husband and I were originally looking for engagement rings 2 years ago, we went to a place on Jeweler’s Row that required an appointment well in advance. Being that we ...
both took a day off during the week to look (my husband worked weekends at the time), we were kind of discouraged after that. However we decided to check out Windy City in hopes that they didn’t require an appointment. Luckily they didn’t and were more than attentive! We worked with Denise who sat with us for over an hour looking at various rings and then coming up with a custom design based off of the one we liked. I️ really wanted a custom made ring but didn’t think regular jewelers did that, so when Denise told me it could be done I was ecstatic! The whole process was super easy and VERY fast! We were getting engaged back in my hometown and had a deadline for it to be done, and they were able to make that happen! Denise also gave us a tip-have the ring shipped to Pittsburgh rather than pick it up to save on tax! So we did that and the ring arrived the day we got to Pittsburgh!
We had a long engagement so we weren’t back in Windy City until 2 years later to do our wedding bands. That was also a super easy process! They again custom made my band to match and my husband picked out his ring. As a wedding present for my mom, I wanted to get her a cross. Denise showed me a book of them and was able to get the cross for a lot less than what the book was saying!
We absolutely LOVED Denise and the service we got from Windy City! Not only are they reasonable in their prices (they work within your budget), they are not salesy AT ALL! They are actually the complete opposite in that they are super honest in everything, from how a ring would look with a certain diamond or design or if a specific type of metal is good and will last; I asked about tungsten for my husband’s ring and she told us that most companies won’t honor their tungsten pieces because the metal is so brittle and breaks! When you’re looking for a piece of jewelry that will cost a lot, you definitely want people who are looking out for not only themselves but you as a customer as well. Windy City Diamonds is definitely that kind of company!

VE my ring!
I bought an engagement ring for my fiancee from Denise at Windy City Diamonds. I decided to make a custom design incorporating the filigree from the Eiffel Tower. They made the r...
ing using stock images which I supplied. I explained to Denise that I wanted the Eiffel Tower to be a secret surprise, which I would reveal when, someday, my future wife and I visit Paris. She thought that was a swell idea. After our engagement I thought it would be nice to send Denise a picture of us, newly engaged. A little while later when my fiancee returned to Windy City Diamonds for a ring cleaning, she saw a display poster showing the two of us, her ring, and the close-up images of the Eiffel Tower. Surprise ruined. They never asked permission to use my photo for marketing purposes, and they obviously don't care about keeping any promises they made once the money is in the bank

dly and helped us sketch up the wedding ring to go with the engagement ring my husband had designed and made there. The price is outstanding, the service was even better, the ring...well you can't top a ring you or your significant other designed and having it made exactly as you had asked. Really, go and visit and you will understand how they can't be beat. We are already planning on going there to ring shop for other things and gifts. Words don't do justice how great this lil shop is.
I was recommended here by a friend whose wedding set was custom made at Windy City and said that her husband really enjoyed his experience. I worked with Garry to make a wedding b...
and to match my engagement ring, which was bought elsewhere. He spent an hour talking with me about what I wanted, because even though we had the engagement ring to look at, he wanted to make sure he was incorporating my favorite parts. I am a very symmetry oriented person, and I had grown to love some of the subtle geometries in my ring, and Garry took the time to understand those details. I had to leave my engagement ring for them to use to match the design of the new ring, and then shipped them both back to me in 2 weeks when the wedding band was finished.
My rings arrived back. My engagement ring had been, free of charge, re-plated back to the white gold color. But the wedding band-disappointment. Some of the details that we talked about were not taken into account in the final product. I am also non-confrontational, and so I ended up just being sad about it until my now husband said I should call and see if there was anything they could do to fix the ring to be more like my expectations. I met again with Garry, who was actually shocked that my ring ended up how it did, since he remembered talking with me at length about the specific detail that ended up being wrong. He said that they could not change the current ring, but could make me a whole new replacement ring at no cost and ship it back to me at no cost! I couldn't believe how accommodating and nice he was about the situation. I did have to leave my engagement ring again for a second time though. Needless to say, Windy City really has amazing customer service and I am very pleased with the final wedding band.
The price was amazingly reasonable. Knowing how much we had paid for my engagement band, and expecting some added cost from design, labor, and extra diamonds in the middle where my solitaire stone sits on the engagement ring, I went in with a price in my head of what Windy City would charge. The first price Garry quoted was less than what I had expected and actually exactly what I wanted to haggle down to as a final price based on my engagement band price! I really couldn’t believe it! I really appreciated the no-hassle price since I hate haggling. They also threw in an appraisal so that I could get my new jewelry insured as well. Great value!
We got my fiancee's wedding bands here. He wanted two different bands, one darker and one lighter and we worked with Denise. She was so warm and welcoming, not pushy at all. The ri...
ngs came a day earlier than promised and engraved perfectly.
I would recommend doing business here and look for Denise! Even though we didn't purchase my engagement ring with them, she cleaned my ring and offered me a cleaning cloth. I will take my rings back after the wedding to get the engagement ring and band engraved with them.
My husband and I recently purchased our wedding bands from Windy City. We worked with Denise and Garry and they were great! My engagement ring was custom made and very unusual an...
d we wanted something custom made to match. Denise helped us with creating something that would match but also be versatile so I could wear it by itself or with my engagement ring as a set. My husband had been looking here and there for rings and he had a hard time finding something he liked. He wanted a yellow gold band but something with matte gold and a design. Windy City had TONS of options for him. The best part was that their prices were extremely reasonable and they made our rings in about a week! They also let us leave them at the store until the day before our wedding so we didn't have to worry about them. We dropped of my engagement ring the day of, it was cleaned and then we picked up everything the day before our wedding!
I could not recommend Denise, Garry and the rest of the Windy City team enough! They really can make anything and stick to your budget.
Windy City Diamonds really did an amazing job for all of our wedding jewelry. I initially used them for the engagement ring I selected for my bride to be. With no input from my f...
uture wife, they did a really great job educating me and ultimately helping me select an absolutely brilliant diamond. They also worked with me on the type of setting I had imagined for my wife by designing a CAD image and allowing me to edit until it was exactly what I wanted. On my approval, they cut the mold and the ring was ready in no time.
For the wedding bands we worked with Victor and Rick. Victor did an amazing job guiding us through the process. From determining the design and providing recommendations, he was really great to work with. He also seemed genuinely excited about our big day which made the process that much more exciting!
Rick (one of the owners) also helped us through the process. He provided a level of expertise that really made us confident in the rings we selected. In addition, he was extremely flexible with us for where and when he could meet with us to discuss our rings; given both my wife and I had limited schedules. He truly went above and beyond the level of service we could have ever expected. Additionally, we had wanted some minor changes to my wife’s ring after it was completed, and sure enough they made the changes to exactly how we wanted the ring to look.
Windy City Diamonds, including both Victor and Rick, really made the ring buying process special, and ultimately delivered an amazing product. I highly recommend their services!

it. When I ordered cheap sterling silver wedding bands (until I can actually afford to make the ones I want) they created a new setting for my engagement ring and created a bridge for the wedding band to have them all sit together without soldering them together. They are always friendly and helpful and can explain the best options for you very easily!
My husband designed my ring with Windy City and we had our bands made there a well. They are very friendly and easy to work with. They engraved our wedding bands to make then even ...
more special. I kep daily compliments on my ring!
We got my engagement ring as well as wedding bands from Windy City. Jim is great to work with and gave us exactly what we were looking for.

onds. Just three weeks earlier I had gone with a friend of mine to Windy City Diamonds because she lost a diamond on her wedding band her and her husband purchased at WCD. We met with Gary and he was so helpful. He replaced the diamond no problem. We walked out of the store talking about how great they were and my friend said I should definitely go to them when it was time for my engagement. Like I said, my now husband already had that planned.
I absolutely loved my enagement ring and creating my wedding band with Gary at WCD was a great experience. My engagement ring is round so we had to curve the wedding band around it. The original band Gary made for me seemed thicker than I wanted. I felt very comfortable telling him I wasn't 100% happy and he told me his goal is for me to love it so he continued to work on it. Once the updated band was ready, it was the perfect design. Windy City Diamonds has quality diamonds at great prices and they have the best service. Gary is an absolute "gem" and we now call him our jeweler! Ha ha. Any time we need diamonds we will be making a trip to see Gary at Windy City Diamonds.
The diamonds from Windy City are uncomparably so above some other local jewelers. The quality and shine of the diamonds is fantastic. Gary is a wonderful salesman but I wouldn't re...
commend the other salespeople. Also, highly recommend the wedding bands for men. Great cost for a great ring!
