Cottage Jewelry 530 Dempster Street, Evanston, IL 60202

"Everyone here was nice and seemingly knowledgeable. I attempted to sell an estate piece with the owner. He made me an offer, I countered, and he rejected my counter (which is fine) but then rescinded his original offer altogether. If you're going to do business with the public, at least be a man of your word."

"10++++ stars for this jeweler! I can’t say enough good things about this jeweler. My fiancé and I had my engagement ring made here and picked out our wedding bands yesterday and it was a dream come true experience from start to finish. The staff here are so warm and welcoming and knowledgeable, I have felt like an absolute princess every time I walk through the door. I have other pieces from this store that are timeless and beautiful that I cherish. I have had my rings sized here as well. They can do anything you want here and are happy to please. They not only have a jaw dropping selection of engagement pieces, they have beautiful jewelry for all occasions that would make anybody squeal with delight. I cannot say enough goods things about Ira and Marie and the other ladies who work here. They have treated us so well, I could never ever want to go to any other jewelers. They have made me especially feel so special and I’m not even married yet. Thank you, thank you Cottage Jewelry for the outstanding service, you made my dreams come true! A+++"

"I'm so happy with my experience here. I just picked up my ring today, and it is perfect. I have a ring that was my mom's, which is so special to me, but it needed resized quite a lot. I'm pretty shy, but the person who worked with me was so warm and I felt welcomed. I'm not much of a jewelry wearer, so I was worried that I would feel a little dowdy in a jewelry store, but that was not the case. They are super down to earth here and work with whatever you're asking for. (She also had a great eye for what size ring I would need, just by looking at my hand, haha). I'll definitely come back here in the future."

"I walked into Cottage Jewelry knowing I wanted something special and unique for my bride but not knowing the first thing about how to get there. Marie welcomed me in and listened, and then partnered with me to create a perfect ring. I couldn't have been in better hands. It set the tone for the engagement and the wedding style and tone. Marie and Cottage Jewelry, you launched us into our new beginning and the ring stands as a beacon of our love and commitment. Thank You! Pictured here: Her ring with vintage tinted birth stones of her, me and our young daughter (ruby, sapphire, and diamond) and my ring, a classic gold band with an exquisite engraving."

"Ira and his team were incredibly thoughtful, patient, and generous with their time when my then-boyfriend and I came in to Cottage Jewelry to design my dream engagement ring. We had the best experience and my ring is perfect. I would highly recommend Cottage Jewelry. 10/10 for quality, experience, and ease. Thank you, Ira!"
