Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/21/2010 - Couldn't Be HappierI found Shari and Kevin online because of the great reviews. I actually bought a diamond online and took it to them to have an engagment ring made. When I walked in Kevin greeted me right away and made me feel very comfortable for someone who had no idea what they were doing. He asked me a few questions to understand what I was looking for. I then met with Shari to design the acutal ring. It...
Read More On Citysearch rudywe 1/7/2010 - Like a perfect diamond, BJeweled is flawless!With the help of Kevin and Shari at BJeweled, my fianc? was able to create an engagement ring that reflected our love and my style. With the selection of a large jewelry chain and the creative and artistic flair of a smaller jewelry store, BJeweled offers the best of both worlds. Glass cases present clients with an impressive jewelry portfolio, while Kevin and Shari provide a welcoming atmosphere...
Read More On Citysearch JandL 1/7/2010 - Priceless!!After years of looking at, literally, over hundreds of thousands of rings, I FINALLY came to the decision that my perfect ring didn't exist. So many rings that I liked, even some I loved, but I never found "the one". My husband and I are very unique people with an even more unique relationship, and in all honesty, I needed the ring to symbolize what are relationship was, is and will be, without...
Read More On Citysearch Keri B 12/24/2009 - Shari is the Best DesignerWe found Shari by walking by the Bjeweled Store on Walton Street. Really cool layout. Store was busy with people having fun. Shari was discussing options with a client and allowed us to join the conversation. She didn't try to sell anything. Shari listened to needs and helped develop a diamond profile. She used our diamond profile to bring in diamonds for our review. We did our shopping on...

Read More On Citysearch huskerfootball 8/27/2009 - Shari you deliveredThe Bjeweled store is an inviting boutique. A Gold Coast experience with diamond internet pricing. With neighbors like Bulgari and Tiffany they have to be good. Shari goes toe-to-toe with the best of the best. Shari's style is casual and thorough. Shari is a very talented designer. Her design style is head to hand.
No CAD just an artist developing individual pieces for each person. Very ...
Read More On Citysearch wildcatgrif 8/27/2009 - Great service, great pricesThe service stood in stark contrast to any other place I tried to shop. Kevin and Shari took the time to explain diamonds in detail, to show stones in different lighting, point out their defects, etc. To top this, their service was prompt and their workmanship of good quality. Finally, the price for the same quality diamond and the same certification was about 10-20% lower than any other jeweler,...

This is a outstanding place to get quality jewelry at a great price.
Read More On Citysearch Mals27 8/24/2009 - Stunning style and quality at an equally stunning price!My husband researched diamonds prior to embarking on his engagement shopping extravaganza. Shari & Kevin were by far the most helpful and memorable. I was fortunate that my husband asked me to help design my engagement ring after he had met with Shari and chosed several center stones. Shari and Kevin made our selection and design process something we tell everyone about. My engagement ring an...

This place (bejeweled) is amazing, great fun people, very fair and cost effective. I had an engagement ring made with a 4 K topaz, and the design was so spectacular that EVERYONE continues to compliment me on my "Tiffany canary diamond ring", and the price was ridiculously cheap for such a stunning ring.

Read More On Citysearch jruclaw04 4/25/2009 - CHIDEXX - The smarter way to buy diamondsI just purchased my engagement ring for my fiance, and my experience with CHIDEXX was so refreshingly different from every other jeweler I visited. Let's face it - the vast majority of diamonds shoppers are at a disadvantage the moment they set foot in a jewelry store; it's nearly impossible to become as knowledgable as the individual working behind the counter who has made a career of selling d...

They also helped me land a great stone -- and th...

Read More On Citysearch EChoPharmD 12/7/2008 - Real Deal-Great Pricing, Shari is a exceptional designerI don't typically write reviews. I thought enough of Shari and the relationship we developed to make an exception. Shari is a real talent. She was a good listener. Shari challenged some of my diamond research conclusions. Shari brought in a group of diamonds to the Bjeweled location for viewing. She offered unbiased perspective. Shari didn't advocate any diamond. I bought the diamond base...

Read More On Citysearch william004 2/12/2008 - The entire experience was FANTASTIC!My boyfriend proposed marriage to me in May 2007 and presented me with a beautiful diamond - the ring setting itself was simple because he said it was "temporary". He wanted me to meet with Shari and she would design a setting that I would like. Seven months went by before I could arrange the time. I recently met with Shari and we modified one of her previous designs to personalize it for me....
Read More On Citysearch smileee 12/13/2007 - Best value anywhere - an absolute pleasure to do business withSome nine months ago I was looking for a ring for my bride of 20 years. I had looked at every major online wholesaler, and had visited two of their "retail" partners. The diamonds that I choose online were seldom available. Those that were available may have been graded well - but looked less than desirable in person. I ran across The Chicago Diamond and Jewelry Exchange and had a completely ...

I thoroughly researched and shopped extensively for the perfect diamond at the best price. From the Jewelers Mall to Blue Nile, I couldn't find a place that could provide the quality and value for the diamond I bought from Chidexx.
More importantly, because I hardly have a discerning ey...
