Had a great experience finding the diamond I wanted and then found the perfect band. Didnt feel overwhelmed in a large jewelry store with lots of LED lights. They really heard what I was saying as far as what I was going for and didnt push me in a direction just to make a quick sale. They also Didnt nickel and dime me one bit to get the right size after the matter, installed little gold stubs to keep the ring from spinning at no cost after the ring re-sizing, and was extremely helpful to get the ring completed expeditiously every time.

Michael was friendly, helpful, creative and easy to talk to. Nikki was also great throughout the process. They didn’t try to up-sell me, just took my requests and made the perfect engagement ring. Highly recommend and I am so happy to have “my jeweler” in the city!

Great jeweler! I recently purchased an engagement ring from Michael and Nikki and was overwhelmed with the kindness and educated help they provided me with during my first experience. I needed a ring two weeks before my European trip and they did everything they could to make the process smooth and fast. The ring turn out beautiful and my fiancé loved it!!!! We were very happy with our overall experience. I will definitely be coming back to this jeweler in the future and recommend them to friends and family.

Wow! What a great experience!! My friends recommended us to Gregg Helfer and I would love to do the same.Gregg was immensely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We couldnt have asked for more. My husband and I upgraded my engagement ring. When we showed up for our appointment, Gregg presented us multiple diamonds in our price range. His preparation and sense of humor enabled my husband to enjoy the process instead of being overwhelmed by the multitude of options. As for me, it was one of my favorite days!Gregg and his team designed a gorgeous custom made ring for us. His team took inspiration from my original heirloom engagement ring and incorporated my unique tastes. Gregg made me feel like he wouldnt be satisfied until I had MY perfect custom ring. He worked closely with me to narrow down the design concept. After I gave vague feedback from the first draft, his team was able to design my ideal piece. I couldnt be more happy with my experience and most importantly the craftsmanship of my ring!!

My husband ( then fiance) and I had a great time working with Gregg. I went with my husband when we were picking out wedding bands and I was worried he might be pushy because I wanted a very simple wedding band (vs my beautiful diamond engagement ring from them). He recommended a wedding band for me filled with diamonds and I said I was looking for something much more simple. To my surprise, he didnt push it or say anything, but showed me exactly what I wanted! That made me very relieved and happy he wanted to sell me what I liked! Now, 8 years later, our wedding bands have held up and still look great!

Being that I know nothing about jewelry it was important to find someone I trusted when it was time to pop the question to my girl. A friend referred me to Gregg Helfer and I couldnt have been happier. They took great care of me and and I got a great deal on an engagement ring and wedding bands. Ive referred several people to them and they all had great experiences. Highly recommended!

My fiancee and I could not be happier with our experience at Gregg Helfer Jeweler. I, personally, worked with Michael Helfer. His advice was unbiased and extremely helpful for a first time buyer like myself. He made it a personal mission to ensure the engagement ring that I picked out was perfect. She said yes, so we must have done something right! The after sale support has been second to none. We will highly recommend Gregg Helfer to anyone who asks, and we will be there for our wedding bands before the big day!

This is by far the best jewelry store in Chicago. I met Gregg, the owner, and I learned a lot from him regarding engagement rings for my fiancee. He is honest and very knowledgeable. He showed me some samples and we discussed about how the ring would look like. After agreeing on a design, I returned here and got the ring. To be honest, I was really pleased of the result. Even my fiancee shed tears of joy after surprising her with the ring. I am truly grateful that I asked for Greggs help on making the best present for my fiancee.

Christmas 2016 an business acquaintance referred me to Gregg Helfer Ltd. where I met owner Michael Helfer. I was searching for gold bracelets. The house specializes in diamonds for engagement and marriage rings, but took the time to search competitors to find what I needed.The gift was not well received through no fault of Michaels. He took it back and provided a full refund. Not story often told.Consider the foregoing when shopping for a trusted merchant.

Great Experience all around. Bought our wedding bands from Greg and loved them. I had them add some gold from my grandparents wedding rings into my wedding band (very sentimental and important to me) and Greg was great about it.

I had a great experience when we went here with my wife-to-be as we were looking for a great wedding ring. We went to a lot of stores before we stopped here in Gregg Helfer, Ltd. We met Gregg here and told us that they make their own rings so we both decided to have one custom-made. We discussed on how it would look like and paid the deposit. We returned few days later and we got the rings that we ordered. We were both amazed at how it looked good, even better when its put on. I am really thankful to Gregg. I will definitely recommend them.

I was looking for a great place to learn more about engagement rings and thats why I dropped by here. It was recommended to me by a friend who also had her engagement ring made here. I met Gregg here and he gave me some honest advice about engagement rings. I am quite pleased about what I learned here and decided to give him the business. I am sure my girlfriend will be surprised and happy see her completed ring.
