Fantastic!!! Perfect!!! Shannon and Susan were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing an engagement ring and continue to be helpful to this day. I live in New York City, and my fiancé and I are so happy we chose to go with this Chicago jeweler. Thank you for everything, highly recommend!

Numined is amazing. Shannon was the best rep I could have asked for going into this. She didnt pressure me, helped me find the perfect ring and was extremely informative. The entire process was so much fun with her help. And I appreciated that she was very respectful to stay within budget and finding the right fit. With the bonus of knowing our diamond is conflict free, I couldnt ask for a better experience and ring. Thank you!!

I had the best experience purchasing and engagement ring here. They made the buying experience a great one. I was not pressured but instead educated and felt very comfortable. I am beyond grateful to Isaac and Shannon. From start to finish the customer service is bar none. I went here based on all the great reviews and now I want to share the same for anyone who is looking for an A+ jeweler. They followed through on everything they said. Beyond happy thank you guys!

Shannon and the whole team were extremely helpful! I was super impressed with the attention to detail and dedication to making me happy. Id been to other jewelers and felt pressured to buy a diamond that was larger than I actually needed and would have put me outside my price range. BUT, at Numined, there was a focus on finding me the right diamond to fit my existing family setting and making it such that it fit my budget. Truly impressed and looking forward to returning to get our wedding bands! Thanks again Numined!

I had a wonderful experience at dimend SCAASI. I worked with Shannon, who was extremely knowledgable and honest throughout the ring buying process. It turned out beautiful and my fiancé couldnt be happier. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for an engagement ring.

We LOVED our experience at Numined (thank you, Shannon)! Came here to buy our engagement ring thanks to a referral from a friend (who was also referred by a friend...) who gave this store rave reviews. They are super quick to respond to emails and to answer any questions and take the time to understand what you want in a ring. Found exactly what we were looking for and I still receive compliments weekly about how sparkly and gorgeous the ring is. Were coming back to pick our wedding rings! Highly recommend you check this place out - you wont regret it. Thanks, Numined team! :)

Shannon at Numined was great! We were curious about different stone options for an engagement ring, and were very happy with all the information she shared with us about the differences and similarities between mined and lab grown diamonds. She took detailed notes about what we were looking for in a ring (stone size, ring material, setting type, etc.) and as soon as a stone that fit our budget and desired characteristics was available, she led us through the design and ordering process with no surprises or any degree of hard sell. They truly want the customer to end up with a product they love and we were very happy with both the experience and the ring. Thanks Shannon and team!

Stephanie at Numined has been nothing but helpful and patient while I was shopping for an engagement ring. We had wanted a synthetic diamond and after I looked online and in physical stores for two months (even buying a dud online and returning it), I eventually found Numined. You can see the reviews are excellent. When you walk into their shop they dont overwhelm you like some other big name stores trying to immediately sell you things, and they certainly dont ignore you. They will approach you and if you need anything they will tell you everything you need to know. Stephanie showed me ASET images of all the diamonds I wanted to see, let me look at it with her microscopes with different degrees of magnitude (I asked to see the ID Number etched onto the side of the diamond, as well as any imperfections in any diamond), go to the window and see how it looks in the sunlight and even under the desk with no light, she was incredibly helpful and patient with me. She even ordered more diamonds in my price range and specifications when I wanted to see more. I was also incredibly picky with the band that would be used and their CAD team made maybe 5 or 6 brand new band designs to try and match what I wanted. EVEN then, after I chose the band and they made it and fitted the diamond, I wanted it adjusted and they took it back and did it! I am thankful that I was able to find Numined and have Stephanie help me through the entire process. Others there also offered their help whenever they could. I couldnt be happier with them. Overall I would recommend Numined to anyone!

I really have to be blown away with service to write a review and I was. Isaac, Shannon, Stephanie, and the whole team at Numined were a joy to work with. I was able to do everything thru the website and any questions I had were answered by the team via email. By far the best experience Ive had working with a jeweler.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! This company was recommended to my fiance and I by my co-worker, who purchased his wifes engagement ring from them. We originally went in just to look, but Stephanie was an incredible hostess, very knowledgeable and patient, teaching us every step of the way. She also gave us a GREAT deal, so my fiance decided to just pay for the ring on the spot (of course, i was happy). The owner even came in and chatted with us a bit. I also appreciated that Stephanie stayed with us beyond closing time to make sure we were satisfied. Finally, after we ordered the ring and I received the specs via email I decided I wanted a different cut. Thankfully, Stephanie was receptive to my change from the original and continued to be gracious by complying with my request. In the end I received a ring that is exceptionally brilliant and sparkly. I am VERY satisfied. Everyone who sees it comments on its brilliance and jokes that the ring is blinding them. When my fiance and I are ready to purchase the wedding bands we will definitely return. Im very pleased with the service and the product.

Shannon and crew are OUTSTANDING. After visiting several other jewelers, I received a few recommendations to come here. Glad I did! Shannon works hands on with you and makes you feel totally comfortably throughout the process. She put me at ease and allowed me to come in several times to get exactly what I was looking for. They really go above and beyond and I would give them more than 5 stars if allowed.

Fantastic experience. Shannon was kind, funny, and considerate. Were on the younger side and not many of our friends are engaged yet, but we did not feel any undue pressure. The ring itself is gorgeous and we could not have asked for better.

Fantastic experience and service! Shannon was a great help. Knowledgeable, honest, and helpful. She helped my fiancee and I through several different styles of rings and diamonds, helping us find the one she liked the most.Pricing was reasonable, she was honest about the costs and what we were paying for. In addition, she helped us with a few offers that knocked the price down. We gave her our budget and she gave us diamond option that kept us under budget, but still with a beautiful ring.Moreover, they offer lab-grown diamonds. As pretty as normal ones, it helped us avoid the guilty worry of did someone in Africa die for this diamond?Their office is comfortable, clean, and elegant. As a side note, the front desk was helpful in navigating the jewelers row to find Numineds office.We will likely be returning to them when it comes time to buy the wedding bands.

Review №21

Bought an engagement ring here and really felt comfortable with the experience. Felt like I got a great deal and had a lot of options in terms of diamond and band availability. The best part, in my opinion, was that the person helping me choose a diamond (Shannon) had a ton of experience. She could pick up a diamond, look through the little magnifying glass thing, and tell me what inclusions she could see and her overall opinion of it. And I never felt pressured to pick something I wasnt comfortable with. She was just there as a guide and I really appreciated that.

Our experience here was great. We were helped by Shannon H. and we couldnt be happier. My (now) fiance had a definite idea of what she wanted, and Shannon worked with me to make it happen. The price of the ring was very reasonable as well. The final product was beautiful, and my fiance loves it.I love the fact that, unlike everywhere else we went to prior, there was no pressure to buy anything. Shannon was very patient with me, and helped me stay within my budget. I will recommend this place to anyone without a doubt.

Review №24

I went to numerous jewelers and found that they were the most reasonable to actually help me find the most cost effective / quality diamond. I would encourage you too consider lab diamonds because it is impossible to see a difference and they are the only true eco friendly diamond. This place is your best option for lab diamonds. For the setting they worked very well with my comments and design ideas. As an architect I am picky and actually edited the design more than once and they really did a good job handling comments and getting the desired result.

Absolutely flawless (pun intended) experience! while searching for a place to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend I saw all of the amazing reviews for this place and had to give it a try. Not knowing much about diamonds and how to pick them out I was a little intimidated by the whole process but working with Shannon has been nothing but pleasant.I made an appointment and came in that same afternoon not looking to walk out with anything and after about an hour and a half of looking at different rings and learning all about diamonds I came out with a good idea of the different options I had. I then tried to get some clues of what my girlfriend would want her ring to look like so that next time I came in I would be comfortable making a decision.The second appointment was also great and no pressure at all from Shannon, we looked at different diamonds which were at, below and above my price range and both weighted the pros and cons of each choice. I ended up going with a Numined diamond which I am very happy about because it was more bang for my buck and also makes me feel better about it being conflict free and environmentally friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend this business to any and all friends in the future.

I cannot recommend Numined enough! We were so lost when we decided to start to pick out my engagement ring. The only thing we knew was that we wanted to use lab grown diamonds (only way to certify any stone is truly conflict free) and I am so glad we found Numined. I was a little wishy washy on what design I wanted, but Shannons friendly demeanor, good questions, and overall knowledge meant I am now wearing a ring I LOVE. She worked with my fiance within his budget, and never once did I feel pressure to choose a bigger stone or a more complex setting. If youre considering visiting Numined, do yourself a favor and go meet Shannon. Well definitely be back for my band and beyond.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!! This jeweler was recommended to me by my brother-in-law, and I couldnt be happier. Everyone was extremely helpful and patient with every question I had (and I had a lot). The entire team is incredibly knowledgeable, and they walked me through the purchase step by step. It made me feel extremely comfortable. At the end of the day, my fiancé absolutely loves the ring. We will definitely be going back for our wedding bands and any other future purchases!!

My experience was absolutely exceptional here. Issac showed me many diamonds but particularly focused on what it was that i wanted. It was almost as if he reached inside my head and took out exactly what I was thinking when looking at specific diamonds. In the end I picked a ring and diamond that I was ecstatic about. My fiance absolutely loved it and everyone compliments her on the ring and we couldnt have been more happier with the service, the ring and the experience. I highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough good things about Numimed. Shannon was absolutely amazing. I literally was in there a dozen times trying to find the perfect diamond and she was always patient, gracious and extremely helpful. She is truly honest and genuine and always gave me good advice and direction. Thank you Shannon for helping me find the perfect diamond ring for the love of my life! Bottom line...you cant beat Numimed for price, selection, and customer service!

Absolutely Love My Ring!My fiancé made an appointment with Isaac based on a recommendation from a friend. He really wanted the proposal and ring to be a surprise, so he worked with Isaac to come up with the design. He said he felt very little pressure, because Isaac assured him that if I wanted changes, or even a completely different design, I could alter the ring after he proposed. I ended up not needing the altering (besides sizing) because the ring was absolutely perfect! Thank you!

Shannon Hruza was extremely helpful and informative when trying to decide on the exact engagement ring I imagined for my fiancé-to-be. We were able to piece together an assortment of different things to create the design I hoped for. After just a couple of weeks, the ring was ready to be picked up and it far exceeded all of my expectations. My now fiancé and I could not be happier with the way it turned out. They offer extremely fair and affordable pricing for high-end quality. I highly recommend, at the least, taking a look at what Numined Diamonds has to offer. Any other options you may be looking at will not compete.

You have to visit this place if you are in the market for Jewelry. Shannon is awesome! She was extremely helpful, knowledgable and patient as I’m a very picky person. I purchased both my fiancé’s engagement, wedding ring and my own ring from her. My fiancé and I were extremely particular about the custom engagement ring, as we wanted a specific gap between the center stone and halo. I was very nervous to see if they could pull it off. Well they did! It was perfect and my fiancé loves It! I cannot recommend this place enough. Go see Shannon!

After reading many reviews, I decided to purchase an engagement ring for my girlfriend at Dimend Scassi/Numined. Issac took me step by step through the whole process. I looked at many diamonds and rings. I never felt pressured to make a purchase. The team was very mindful of my budget. Issac made several great suggestions. I must say my fiancé loves her ring! We went back to get it sized and got it back in a timely manner. The staff here is friendly and knowledgable. We are looking forward to getting our bands here as well.

After being referred to the store by one of my best friends (who had recently gotten married), I purchased a custom engagement ring from dimend SCAASI in August 2015. My fiancé and I are extremely happy with our purchase. The ring turned out absolutely fantastic and we have received countless complements on it from family and friends. Most notably, my fiancés mother and my mother were both thrilled with it (and that is no small feat to accomplish!).I also truly appreciated the approach that our salesperson (Stephanie) took in helping us arrive at a decision on the design and diamond. Both my fiancé and I are somewhat indecisive, but Stephanie did an excellent job at making a difficult and important decision seem easy. When I first came into the store, I was almost completely clueless about how to shop for diamonds. But, they did a fantastic job at helping me understand the key factors to take into consideration and which characteristics mattered most (and, they did so in an very efficient manner, which was incredibly helpful to me given the time demands involved with my profession).I would also note that they took a very no-pressure approach to the sales process. They were highly respectful of my budget and I never felt as if I was being upsold or steered to any particular diamond. They helped me figure out quite quickly how to get the best bang for my buck and were able to accommodate a budget with a fairly wide range.We are extremely satisfied customers and highly recommend dimend SCAASI to anyone who is shopping for custom engagement rings.

Review №52

I just received a nearly one carat diamond from NUMINED as the center stone in my gorgeous engagement ring from my wonderful future husband. The diamond from NUMINED is absolutely breathtaking. There is no discernible difference between the NUMINED lab grown diamond and a more natural stone (I went into my jeweler for re-sizing after receiving the ring and she showed me natural versus NUMINED diamonds to illustrate). Seriously. I would have had no idea. Not only is the quality spectacular but buying a NUMINED diamond allowed my fiance to get a larger carat stone at a more cost effective price without sacrificing any quality. Plus, you are assured that the diamond is conflict free. I am beyond thrilled and could not give a higher recommendation!

Review №53

I cannot say enough about my positive experience with Numined. Like most guys, I did my homework and research before settling on a store, including looking at these reviews. My extensive research lead me to Dimend Scaasi/Numined (Isaac, the owner, runs both stores). From the moment that I walked into their modern, tasteful showroom, I was impressed. My girlfriend (now fiancé!) and I met with Isaac for over an hour. It is a testament to his business model that the owner of the store dedicated such a generous portion of his time answering our questions and learning our preferences. He utilizes the latest technology to demonstrate diamond performance--in laymans terms, the sparkle. I never felt pressured or like I was being upsold. He presented a variety of options, both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds. Seriously go to Numineds website and educate yourself about lab grown diamonds. They are chemically, structurally and visually the exact same as natural diamonds, but are typically more affordable. The wonders of modern technology now allows guys to buy a bigger rock without breaking the bank. After the initial consult with my girlfriend regarding the setting/style, I went back to walk through diamond options/complete the purchase with Isaac.Let me tell you, when I picked up my ring, it did not disappoint. My fiancé loves the ring and has received an outpouring of compliments and even a little jealousy from her engaged friends. The ring truly does radiate. I know there are a lot of options (in my opinion too many), but once you meet with Isaac or a member his expert staff, you quickly realize that there is only one true option for buying a beautiful, fairly priced engagement ring from a competent, caring jeweler. Seriously, make an appointment with Dimend Scassi or Numined this instant; you will not be disappointed.

Review №54

When we started shopping for an engagement ring, we thought, “What better place to start than Jewelers’ Row, right?” But after stopping into several storefronts on Wabash, we were left feeling dirty, violated, and more confused than ever. Everyone was high pressure, trying to play on our emotions rather than common sense, and more interested in making a fast sale than answering our questions.Then we happened to wander in to Dimend Scaasi/Numined Diamonds. Even though we didn’t have an appointment, they took the time to answer our questions and show us a few selections. We were pleased with the experience, but were overwhelmed from our prior shopping experiences, so we needed time to going home and think about it a while. But after sleeping on it, we decided to make an appointment to go back and talk to Isaac and his team again.Shopping with Isaac was a great experience. He took the time to get to know us and find out what we wanted. He educated us on the science behind diamonds and diamond cutting (which appealed to my engineer fiancé). He showed us diamonds under the AGS ASET Scope to show us the difference between good cuts and less stellar cuts. He showed us how any diamond can sparkle under bright lights (like those used at the other places on Wabash), but good diamonds sparkle even in the dark. And how smaller well-cut diamonds look bigger than larger badly-cut diamonds.We liked the idea of the Numined lab-grown diamonds versus mined diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically the same as mined diamonds, unlike CZ or moissanite. Not only are the Numined diamonds completely North American sourced (grown in US, cut in Canada) and devoid of the social issues associated with diamonds mined overseas, they also tend to have better faceted cuts as compared to mined diamonds. Coupled with the fact that we could get a much higher quality lab-grown diamond for the same price as a lower quality mined diamond… we were sold. My diamond truly sparkles!They have a wide selection of settings, and can custom make settings to your specifications. We chose a Gelin Abaci tension setting, which is made in California, custom-made to fit the diamond we selected. This may have taken a bit longer, but the final result was exactly what we wanted, and well worth the wait.Stephanie and Shannon were very helpful during the ordering and delivery process, and kept us advised on the timeline. They were in frequent contact with us regarding the status, and the final ring was actually delivered before promised deadline.We definitely plan to visit Isaac and team again when we are ready to purchase our wedding bands.

The shop is on the top floor of a humble office building, but the environment is good.The clerk was very nice and would take the initiative to ask for our budget and would not force sales.The diamond descriptions are clear and easy to understand, and the recommendations are reasonable.In the end, we bought a diamond that is relatively large in the price range we can accept. The quality is also very high, and the cost performance is very high. Very satisfied> w <
