Talk about wonderful people! I was in serious need for my ring to be cut off as my finger was turning purple. They were just great and Im so grateful to them. I highly recommend this place! Barb
I had a great experience working with Tim at Monson Jewelers! I highly recommend his custom engagement ring services. He makes the process very simple and the end result is amazing.
I just had my wedding rings of 32 years redesigned by Monson Jewelers and they did a wonderful job! I am so happy with how it turned out. They have great customer service and do beautiful work,
I purchased a diamond ring from Tim. The ring was designed specifically for me. I was not sure what I wanted, but with help from Tim, and his staff, it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have ever seen. I was very excited to show it off to everyone. Thank you very much!!!!!
My engagement ring needed to be resized. Bruce and Tim were very friendly and helpful. Tim had my ring ready for me in 3 days! I appreciate that he understood that I didn’t want to wait too long to get my ring back being newly engaged. My ring fits perfectly now and the price to resize was not bad at all!
Monson Jewelers is the BEST! We have been customers for 20+ years and will continue to be in the future. Everyone is so welcoming, genuine, knowledgable, & helpful. They always have a beautiful selection, their recommendations are on point and their repair work is excellent. Over the years, Monson Jewelers has perfectly filled every need that we brought to them. Most recently, we were in need of their repair work. I wasnt sure if the old and extremely fragile necklace that broke was fixable. Its value is definitely more sentimental than anything, which made the care & dedication they took in fixing the necklace so very touching. We are grateful they found a solution and fixed the necklace beautifully. I cant say enough about Monson Jewelers. They really are the BEST for all jewelry needs!
Came here to get a new battery for my watch. I noticed later that evening that none of the buttons were working to change the date, month, etc. Brought it back and they got it working as best that they could for no extra charge. Would recommend.
I went to Monson Jewelers to have my engagement ring re-made after I had sadly lost it. I was devastated to lose the ring, and I wanted an almost exact replica. Tim was great to work with! He was friendly, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and was willing to work with me until the ring was just right. The selection of diamonds he had for me to choose from were absolutely beautiful. The diamonds are just stunning in the new ring. I would highly recommend Monson Jewelers for their friendly service and beautiful work!
I was recommended Tim by a family friend and decided to stop by and check out Monson Jewelers. I was looking to build a custom engagement ring for a very special person. Tim did an incredible job of first making me knowledgeable about times (can be very confusing) and working well within my budget to create the perfect ring. Needless to say, Tim and his staff did an incredible job designing and building a custom engagement ring within a two week period! I would highly recommend Monson Jewelers!
I was blessed to be working with Tim on a such a big life moment. After just one visit, I felt like a diamond expert! He genuinely cares about me and my future. He took the extra time needed to find the BEST selection of diamonds that were suited to my needs. He feels like part of family, finding a diamond for my sister and fiancé. I can’t wait to go back with my younger brother... whenever he asks the question!
Tim is fantastic. I went to him knowing nothing about buying diamonds, and came out feeling like an expert. At no point did I feel pressured into anything. Tim was there as a guide opposed to a salesmen. Its so clear he wants you to be comfortable with what youre buying. Ill recommend him until my friends and family are annoyed.
Tim is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with! I came to him with a rough idea of what I wanted and he used his expertise to build a beautiful custom floating diamond necklace. I would highly recommend working with Tim to anyone.
Very Welcoming and helpful experience. Tim gave me many options to choose from, and I was able find something that fit exactly what I was looking for. Well probably be back soon to look at some of his other offerings.
I went to Tim to buy an engagement ring for my now fiance and had no idea what I was doing. Tim was very helpful and informative and helped me pick out the perfect ring. The ring turned out absolutely beautiful and we will be going to Monsons for all future jewelry needs!
Stress-free experience working with owner Tim Monson to find the right engagement ring. I have no knowledge of stones or jewelry, so I appreciated that Tim took time to educate me on diamonds and The 4 Cs. Also, their team was very responsive throughout the process, which is a relief when youre making a big purchase. Needless to say, she loved the ring!
Tim and his team at Monson are hands down top-tier five star jewelers AND five-star people. I have received many pieces from Monson as I have grown up, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings that I wear to this day. My husband worked with Tim to find the perfect stone for our engagement, and Tim personally helped my husband gain access to a local golf course so that he could propose in my home town. Tim custom-made my husband and my dream wedding bands. My husband received a sentimental heirloom from his late grandfather, and Tim helped us create my husbands wedding band along with 5 bracelets from the diamonds in the original heirloom. We surprised his mother, my mother, our sisters, and his niece with customized original bracelets with our family sayings engraved on each bracelet. Tim ordered, took apart, and melded together the bracelets to fit our very specific and unique design. We could not be happier with the outcome of our purchases! I am a teacher and have had to stop countless conferences or lessons because colleagues, parents, and students have complimented the sparkle and beauty of my jewelry from Monson. We are looking forward to a lifetime partnership with Monson Jewelers!
Every Christmas, my dad and I go to Tims store to buy jewelry for my mom. This has became a tradition in my family and I cherish it every year. The Monson family welcomes every customer into their store like they are family. The jewelry is beautiful and unique and always amazes me. My brother also just engaged to his girlfriend and Tim made the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. Lots of love for this place!!
I personally own several pieces of high quality jewelry from Monson Jewelers. Tim helped me select a new setting for my diamond ring and a new wedding band for our 20th anniversary. Not a week goes by that I dont receive multiple comments from retail clerks or at the grocery store, as to how beautiful my rings are! I just love them! We love Tim and his staff and have referred many family members there as well. All happy customers!
My husband and I got our wedding bands and my engagement ring from Monson Jewelers, and we love them so much! Tim taught my husband a lot about diamonds and helped my husband pick out the perfect engagement ring for me - just my style, and the diamond is beautiful. My husband’s band is unique and the inscription on the inside was done so well. We will definitely be back!
Monson Jewelers came highly recommended from one of my sons teammates who bought an engagement ring from Tim and had such a great experience. I couldnt agree more. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Tim and one of his employees. Tim carefully explained everything about doing a custom piece and once he had exact pricing and a rendering and approval from me, the piece would go into production. 10 days later I had a piece that had both of my grandmothers diamonds in it as well as those my husband gave me. It turned out even better than expected. I will cherish it forever. Definitely worth the 2 hour drive! If I could give more stars, I would!
Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!
Definitely 5/5 stars. The warm family friend environment has made it so enjoyable to shop there. We attend their Christmas open house annually and always find some unique pieces. I highly recommend visiting Monson Jewelers.
I worked at Monson Jewelers for 5 years and loved every second of it! Tim and his staff go above and beyond for every customer to insure satisfaction. Myself, family, and friends all purchase from him and love everything! They’ll all treat you like family and I’d recommend to anyone!
Tim and all of the staff at Monson Jewelers are knowledgeable, professional, and patient with their customers. My family and I have been purchasing jewelry for any and all occasions here for years ( birthdays, engagements, anniversaries etc.) and are never disappointed. I trust Monson Jewelers immensely and would recommend them to anyone looking for the high quality jewelry and phenomenal customer service!
I bought my fiancé’s engagement ring from Monson Jewelers. Tim provided great service and made a beautiful ring. He is personable and honest. He also stayed open late to accommodate my availability. Thank you for the great service and beautiful ring Tim!
My entire family has been going to Tim for years and no jeweler experience will ever compare, or even come close! He helped my husband create a STUNNING custom, one of a kind engagement ring with an old family diamond, and for years, has checked in to make sure every diamond is still perfect and clean! The customer service is unparalleled, with the quality to match! Tim is one of the kindest, most generous and genuine people I have ever met, and we are grateful to have him (and his team!) as part of our lives!
I have known the Monsons for just under 5 years now. They are one of the most welcoming, friendly, and loving families I personally know. I purchased both my wifes engagement ring and wedding band through Tim. He goes above and beyond when it comes to his customers. He made sure I thoroughly knew about the jewelry and provided exactly what I was looking for. I cant say enough about how awesome the Monson family is and specifically Monson Jewelers. I highly recommend stopping in the store to get that special gift this upcoming holiday season.
My teenage daughter worked for Tim during high school. Tim is wonderful to both his employees and customers. I purchased numerous pieces from him and have been very pleased. He is very fair and honest. Would totally recommend this store.
I will never go here again. I went to monson jewlers to get my silver ring sized down. When I got it back it was clear that they had stolen silver off my ring. When I got it back it was 50% thinner than when I had brought it in. It then began to stain my finger, so they clearly used some sort of alloy to cut down on the cost. Then when I took it back for the finger staining issue, they said they would fix it. When I came back the second time to pick it up, the ring was once again even thinner. And I was told, your ring will probably break because it is so thin. Once that happens just bring it back and we will do it again(at cost obviously). So a week went by and my silver ring snapped in half while riding my bike. I went to a different jeweler and they fixed it at a 10% discount of what monson did it for. Moral of the story, go any where else, and I am sure better work will be done for you.
Monson Jewelers and more importantly Tim Monson is one of the most trusted and respected Jewelers in the business.Ive personally purchased well over 20 items from my wifes gorgeous diamond wedding ring that gets compliments on a daily basis, and rings, Rolexes, bracelets and necklaces.Tims fairness on price and his personal love in creating the right piece for the important occasion is incredible.There is no person or store that I trust more then Tom Monson and Monson Jewelers.
Would highly recommend visiting this jewelry store before others in the area. My family has bought amazing jewelry pieces numerous times a year. The owners make shopping for jewelry an enjoyable experience.
Could not be happier with Monson Jewelers. Have been a customer for over 15 years. Tim has been unfailingly professional and courteous on every occasion. We are now into our second generation, as Tim has steered my son through the intricacies of a wedding ring!
Tim and his staff are truly one of a kind in the jewelry business. My wife and I have purchased a number of beautiful pieces from his store and its always been a pleasure dealing with them. I could not possibly give anybody as high a of a recommendation when it comes to jewelry as I do for Monson Jewelers.
Thank you for making this purchase such a comfortable experience... you went above and beyond my expectations. My friends were right sending me here. You guys are the best!!!
I started working at Monson Jewelers while in high school. Tim and his staff mentored me and it was an honor to learn the ins and outs of the jewelry business from them.I now buy many gifts for friends and family at the store and even treat myself sometimes! I highly recommend Monson Jewelers for anyone looking for exceptional customer service and high quality jewelry.
I was buying my girlfriend a birthday present and was a little nervous about going to a jewelry store. I didnt have a lot of money to spend, so I wasnt sure how much help they would give me. They treated me like I was buying a diamond ring when I was really only buying a small pair of earrings. They told me if my girlfriend didnt like them that she could return them without a problem. She really liked them. I will definitely go back for Christmas.
Tim helped me find the perfect engagement ring for my fiancé. In every step of the process, he helped to educate on diamond quality, shape, and color. It was truly a special experience. The ring was beautiful and would recommend Monson Jewelers as an expert in the industry!
Tim and his staff are the most knowledgeable, kind and helpful people in the business. Could not say enough great things about them and their store. Excited to stop in and buy Christmas presents here this season!
My husband and I have been customers of Monson Jewelers for over 20 years. We would NOT go anywhere else for jewelry. Tim and his staff are delightful and their customer service is outstanding!
Went to go see Tim and his staff for a watch that was passed down to me from my grandfather. The clasp has broken and the face cracked when it fell off my wrist. Tim and his employees showed the utmost care for my watch and the work looks excellent! Couldn’t say enough how positive my experience was working with them and I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Tim & staff have helped my family with numerous jewelry purchases over the years, most recently an engagement ring for my fiancé. We were treated wonderfully and teams team quickly resolved a sizing error I made. Can’t recommend them enough.
Recently went to Monson Jewlers to purchase a watch. Tim and his staff were fantastic and extremely knowledgeable, walking me through different styles and fashions. They gained a customer for life!
Tim is awesome and makes the jewelry buying process a breeze. Highly recommend Monson Jewelers if you’re in the Chicago area.
Great customer service. My ring turned out so amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
The man working was extremely condescending and aggressive upon entrance. Kept reaching out and touching my arm softly and was apparently more worried about me making a claim against him before even talking sizing or price. Couldnt even give me a price right away for a simple sizing (he said hed need 3 hours to know) then tried to add on extra work to a piece that absolutely did not need it just so he couldnt be blamed for damage after he sized the ring? Took it to a super nearby competitor....they told me the price immediately, smirked at the repairs suggested (confirming my suspicions on Monson just upsaling or having problems working on antique jewelry in the past) and will have it done in less time....all without treating me like he was doing me a huge favor or worrying I was going to rob him after completion. 10/10 steer clear of this place if you value your jewelry and dignity.
Monson Jewelers is the absolute best! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I got a ring resized here and it was done perfectly!
Its always a pleasure discussing diamonds with Timothy and Bruce. They are always very personal, professional and knowledgeable. They have a great lively store with something for everyone.
Tim and his staff are knowledgeable and provide top-notch customer service. I highly recommend Monson Jewelers for repairs, purchasing, and any other jewelry needs.
Monson Jewlers has met our jewelry needs consistently for 20 years. Need a Communion/Confirmation gift? Special birthday or special occasion gift? Holiday bling for your special someone? We’ve shopped there for all those things. The Monsons and their professional staff will set you up and make you look like a hero!
Family operated business, tremendous customer service and impeccable work. Truly the best in the business.
Wonderful staff, wonderful jewelry, and so easy to Christmas shop here!
Got an engagement ring from here, They did an amazing job it was exactly what we wanted. Couldnt possibly find a better jeweler and easier people to do business with.
Monson Jewelers has been a generous sponsor of our Palatine non profit agency. Tim (owner) always enthusiastically wants to help whenever possible.
Super fast service! 5 minutes and my watch battery was replaced. I am going to buy a watch from them next week. A++
Great Jewelry! Better People!
Tim and his staff are awesome! I bought my mom a ring 3 months ago and she has not taken it off!
Best jeweler in the Galaxy.
Disappointed. Was told fixing the link would cost me $5, but needs to be sent out because they dont carry it. When I picked it up, they charged me $20.
