M.J. Miller & Co. 123 West Main Street, Barrington, IL 60010

"I have had such an amazing experience at MJ Miller. I came in looking to create a custom band for my engagement ring. Marc was so personable and great to work with - he immediately knew that the color of the metal was unique and that custom was the best route. He and his team created a CAD design and even did a 3D print of the band. The band looks like it was made for my ring! If you are looking for customer jewelry - this is the place!"

"Read the whole review! I brought a ring in for sizing. MJ took the ring in and called me back. Due to certain conditions they were unable to resize it. I was impressed with the inspection of the ring and the factors they described that prevented them from resizing. Another place would have attempted to resize the ring and it would have been destroyed. Looking forward to purchasing from them next time i am in the market for jewelry. Beautiful pieces, nice guys and extremely knowledgeable"

"Can't say enough good about the quality of service and craftsmanship I've enjoyed with Miller's for over 20 years. I have had several custom-made items and each is so special! They have an incredible selection of unique stones and exquisite designs that your head will spin! Plan to take your time and ask if you don't see what you have in mind. They have more available than what is in the cases! They also repair old or damaged items. Plan to find your new favorite gem!"

"I can’t thank Mj Miller enough for making my dream engagement ring possible. After months of searching, we had given up by the time we called MJ Miller. Marc quickly earned my trust and also restored hope that we could find something that we would love. His deep expertise and experience resulted in a beautiful piece that is exactly as I had hoped. While the general process can be intimidating to the novice, Marc was there every step of the way to patiently answer our questions. The only surprises in the process were wonderful, as my ring was finished early in time to surprise my family. Trust is critical and often hard to find. Mj Miller has gained two new customers for life."

"My fiancée and I began ring searching roughly 6 months ago while I was living in California. We decided to stop by M.J. Miller & Co. during a stay in Barrington early on in our search due to the formative reputation the store has within the community. Knowing we were at the beginning of the research phase and not at all concerned that we wouldn't be spending any money that particular day, Marc sat us down and patiently taught us an enormous amount about diamonds, metals, and jewelry design. We looked at stones of all sizes and varieties and left feeling like 1) we had a great resource in Marc and 2) we had a better understanding of the search criteria we would use moving forward. Over the next few months my fiancée and I exchanged design notes and eventually I sent a number of these over to Marc for review. When it was time to make a purchase, I asked what we could find or design would match our goals in an engagement ring and he quickly responded with a few spectacular options. Price was comparable to online distributors but quality was outstanding and after seeing the particular stone that we agreed was the frontrunner, it was clear that this was an exceptional diamond. It's really hard to compare diamonds online but when you have a team of experts like those at MJ Miller evaluating the more subjective aspects of a stone, you get a product that has shape, sparkle, and brilliance that are hard to measure and communicate with quantitative metrics alone. We made the right choice. Once we had the ring design in motion, Peter worked patiently with us to adjust as necessary. His craftsmanship is exceptional and his attention to detail is fantastic. When I arrived at the store to pick up the ring, Marc, Peter, and Michael (the owner) all came down to say good luck and ensure all details were addressed (from diamond and ring to appraisal and GIA lab report). They even followed up with a note after the engagement. I would highly recommend this store and team to anyone looking for jewelry and we will certainly be back for wedding bands and more!"
