Steve Quick Jeweler

My husband purchased my gorgeous engagement ring from SQ in 2012. It is a deep green sapphire with diamond halo in white gold that gets compliments everyday. This December I noticed I had broken one of the prongs so we returned and they fixed the prong, checked the rest of them and re-​dipped my ring completely free of cost.
We have begun work on a custom piece to compliment my engagement ring and Val has been working with us to find the right design and make it a truly custom piece. I am so excited to see the final product. SQ is our go-​to jeweler and we wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

Couldn’t have had a better experience looking for the right engagement ring and diamond at the Lincoln Square location! Ellen Zeff was very helpful and patient throughout the process and really cared about finding the right fit. When I stopped in to make payments, the rest of the staff was excellent as well. My fiancée loves her ring and we’ll be back to pick out wedding bands!

This is a great jeweler. Steve, his wife Melissa, and their entire staff are very helpful and attentive to your needs. Their selection is outstanding and they will not hesitate if you want something that is outside of their inventory. We have had a few custom pieces made by them, with multiple stones pulled in from all over the world tried out in various settings, before finally settling on something. They were very patient and accommodating and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. Also, I have a running «wish list» with Steve for my wife’s jewelry, and when they see something that I might like, they call me in for a showing without any sort of pressure. The prices seem very reasonable and we know we are getting a top quality product each time we buy something. As an aside, Melissa (a marathoner herself) always has a Chicago Marathon «aid station» outside the store, handing out pretzels, drinks and anything else a depleted runner needs! It’s the only jewelry store we could every want or need for the very best product. Also, both locations are very convenient with easy parking nearby. Without a doubt, all other 5 star ratings for Steve Quick are well deserved.

I had a fantastic experience getting my wedding band here! Ellen was amazing and helped me pick the perfect ring. She did a great job working within my budget. Highly recommend!

They say that love is patient… love is kind. Whoever «they» are has obviously never met my (now) wife :)
But Ellen… she’s the best! she really is patient and kind!!! I worked with Ellen to get a custom engagement ring made and it was a wonderful process. It was absolutely a process because I’m fickle and we had to do a number of designs and CAD’s, but Ellen worked with me through the whole process.
I’d give Ellen and Steve Quick 6 stars if I could!

You can’t ask for a better experience; Wonderful service, competitively priced, ridiculously fast turn around time.
My husband and I stopped on on a whim while walking around with our sleeping toddler. Ellen greeted us warmly and showed us halo settings for my engagement ring (our 5 year anniversary and I wanted an «up grade»).
We found a setting and that day, started the process to have a new engagement ring made. It ended up being custom, they used all of my diamonds for the halo, my gold to make the ring and added diamonds to the band to match my wedding and push band.
Ellen was in constant communication with me and we had the ring within a month. We’ve found our jeweler for life!

My husband has bought several pieces for me from Steve. None of them rock my world, sorry to say. I had them re-​do my engagement ring recently (because hubby bought it at the Clark store awhile back) and it is not amazing at all. The young designers never understood my vision and they didn’t make it pretty or something I’m proud to wear. I never get any compliments on it at all. I am going to have a very reputable jeweler in Chicago re-​do it again. I do not recommend them. Sorry.

Everyone at Steve Quick is wonderful and helpful! We’ve lived in the neighborhood for a few years, and have been there multiple times. They fixed my watch and appraised our rings for us as well.
I always feel like they are honest and fair and really explain things in detail and take the time to help each customer. We will always be going back there when we need jewelry or service!

Went by today, nothing in the windows except ripper chickens. I think they closed up shop

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Steve Quick. They were helpful, informative, and patient with my fiancé and I while helping us reset my engagement ring. They were so attentive and the ring looks absolutely beautiful. Most importantly they never tried to pressure us into something we didn’t want. We ended up doing a custom design based on some of the stock rings they had in the store and the Steve Quick staff was careful to include every detail just the way we wanted. Highly, highly recommend these guys.

My fiancé and I went into SQ in July of last year looking at engagement rings. Ellen greeted us at the door and took hours to walk us through what a diamond ring is all about. Ellen made me feel at home and talked to me in a thoughtful, non-​condescending way. She helped me understand the dynamics of a ring and steered us in the right direction. After just a few minuted with her we felt that we could trust her in helping us make this huge purchase. We ordered it that day. A few weeks later the ring was in and it was as gorgeous as imagined.
We appreciated the time, effort, and personal attention that Ellen gave us so much that we went back this March to buy our wedding bands from her. We even recommended our friends to her, who bought their own engagement ring in December. Every time we walk past the store we head inside, get the ring cleaned and have a great conversation with Ellen.
Please take the time to visit Steve Quick. You will not be disappointed.

It’s the condescending way you handled it! Rude and unprofessional yo a long time customer!

My fiancée and I went back to Steve Quick last Friday for their wedding bank trunk show and once again were treated with excellent customer service. The staff there is so great and they are genuinely excited for us. We both picked out our bands with mimosa’s in hand. They took $ 100 off each of our bands and gave us a gift bag of champagne, ring cleaner and a certificate to get our rings cleaned before the big day. Highly recommend giving Steve Quick Jewelers your business. You won’t regret it!

This is my first Unilocal review, ever. My fiancé created a custom rose gold and white gold engagement ring and worked with Melissa Quick and Ellen Zeff. It is so gorgeous, and the most favorite thing that I own, I wouldn’t change a thing! He said it was such a great experience, for someone who knew nothing about rings. They guided him about all he needed to know, enabling him to then make informed decisions about how it should look. Just fantastic service.
I then worked with them to design my wedding band. With so much that goes into planning a wedding and all the frustrations and stress that come with a lot of it, this part was a breeze and enjoyable. They send computer images showing the band alone, with the engagement ring, and at multiple different angles. I only had to go in to the shop for the initial meeting, and then to pick it up. Easy, efficient and enjoyable.
Thanks so much Ellen and Melissa! Highly recommend Steve Quick Jewelers for engagement and wedding rings for something completely custom and unique, I would assume they are great at everything else too!

I’ve never purchased jewelry before and I went to Steve Quicks for an engagement ring for my S.O. We talked with a woman named Raquel and she was really friendly and attentive. She helped us pick out an older antique ring that was perfect for my fiancé. I went in intimidated by the process but came out of it very pleased with the experience.

I can’t speak on their rings or jewelry, but I can on the wonderful costumer service.
I work at the athletic club across the street from here and I desperately needed my ring cleaned before one of my bridal showers (it was so hopelessly cloudy from an accidental drenching of bug spray) and I stopped in here after work. I showed them my ring and they tried a quick steaming to see if it would clear up. Nope, the setting blocks the top of the stone. I was told to come back in 30 minutes and they would soak it and steam it again.
I went back and my ring looked beautiful! I couldn’t believe it. Sadly I can’t remember the woman’s name I worked with but she told me that I should come in on Tuesday because she wished she would have more time to clean it up a little more and then it would be like new before the shower. (It already looks perfect to me– it is obvious they take great pride in their work.)
Such amazing service even when I was in there just to get a free cleaning!

My now husband bought and designed my engagement ring at Steve Quick Jeweler in Lincoln Square. He had such a great experience working with them that we bought our wedding bands there as well. Gia, worked with my husband to design the ring down to every detail to get it how he wanted and helped explain everything to him in the process. He got an amazing ring (if I do say so myself)! The quality is definitely worth the price. We both like that their jewelry is unique and you can tell the difference between Steve Quick quality and a big box retailer right when you walk in. I wouldn’t think about going to any other jeweler in all of Chicago.
Every time we went in to look at our rings or ask for help with other jewelry, Gia always was there to help us and their whole staff is extremely friendly. We’ve already recommended this place to many of our other couple friends.

My husband purchased my beautiful diamond engagement ring from Steve Quick in the Lincoln Park location 10 years ago. He has also worked with various staff over the years to create some custom made pieces for me and his experience has always been fantastic. A couple months ago I started working with Ellen in Lincoln Square to get my ring re-​set as a 10 year anniversary gift from my husband. She was a joy to work with and could not be nicer or more patient. She had the jeweler create the ring of my dreams with the same gorgeous diamond that was purchased from Steve Quick a decade ago. The setting turned out even more stunning than I could have envisioned.
On top of that, Ellen was able to have the jewler complete the setting in just a few weeks and the final price came out below the estimate she initially gave me. I could not be happier with my experience working with Ellen and my absolutely stunning ring! Thank you Steve Quick Jeweler!

I recently proposed to my fiancée with a custom engagement ring from Steve Quick Jeweler, and I could not be more happy with the end result.
To start from the beginning… I casually walked into Steve Quick with my girlfriend to get an idea of what she liked, and Raquel was there to guide us through the process. She showed us ring after ring, and she took detailed notes of what we both liked. She was extremely fun to work with, and I immediately felt like she really «got it» and understood our styles and what we were looking for. That evening, I called the store and told Raquel I wanted to come in on my own to pick out a diamond. Raquel assured me that she had written down specifics about what my girlfriend had liked and pointed out. I was so impressed and relieved that there was someone else there to compare notes!
First of all… it is STRESSFUL trying to pick out the right diamond when you know nothing about diamonds! And it is terrifying to design a custom ring when you have so many options and decisions to make. Raquel made it much easier! She was very patient and explained everything. It took about a week for me to receive a CAD to review my design. I was a little nervous about approving a graphic of my design, but it was a very detailed image. After I approved, it took about 2 – 3 weeks for the ring to be made so that I could pick it up… it turned out just as I had imagined.
Again, I cannot stress enough about how easy the entire process was… Raquel eased any concerns I had, and my fiancée LOVES the ring! We will be going right back to Steve Quick for our wedding bands and any future upgrades. ;)

I proposed to my fiancée in December of 2012 and finding a jeweler to create a custom ring was one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made.
After a lot of research, I decided to head into Steve Quick Jewelers in Lincoln Square/​Ravenswood.
I was immediately impressed by the store. I was welcomed in and didn’t feel any pressure at all.
I met with Ellen and explained that I was looking to create an engagement ring with a Peach/​Champagne Sapphire center stone surrounded in diamonds — my fiancée’s «dream ring».
Ellen immediately understood what I was trying to create. She told me she was going to bring in a bunch of Peach/​Champagne Sapphire stones for me to choose from and we’d start there.
A few days later, Ellen called and I headed back to the jewelery shop. She must have had over 20 stones there for me to choose from ranging in size and color.
I chose the stone and then we began looking at rings to set the stone on.
Ellen was beyond helpful and willing to answer any and all of the questions that I had.
I selected the ring and sizing, etc. Ellen assured me that everything would be finished within one month — and it was exactly one month to the date!
The ring turned out better than I ever thought it could and my fiancée loves it.
We went back to the shop together after our engagement because my fiancée wanted to thank «the person who helped make this happen!».
If you want to create a custom, unique engagement ring (or even select something right out of one of their cases) — Steve Quick Jewelers is the place to go.
