Ancona Jewelers

Ancona Jewelers offer the highest quality, fair prices, and the most personal and professional services to be found. Whether I have purchased from their estate case, brand new creations, repairs, or simply browsing, I have always been pampered with a nice espresso, smile, and plenty of time. There is no rushing, try on all that you would like to wish for while feeling like a princess, even if that wish may not be filled for a very long time. I highly recommend Ancona Jewelers for all your jewelry needs.

Ancona Jewelers is an amazing, family owned, jeweler who excels at customer service and product quality. Every experience there has been a pleasure.
My now fiancé and I went there to get an idea of what she would like for an engagement ring since we had been talking about all that good stuff. We met with Antonio Ancona who guided us through the different styles and found a nice diamond that was in our price and size range.
I had emailed him to put the diamond we saw on hold for me until I could come in and talk about the whole ring and he obliged. I figured out what my fiancé wanted and worked with Antonio to design, well let’s just face it, the most beautiful engagement ring I have ever seen. We have gotten so many compliments on the ring since we have been engaged it’s crazy. Although it’s not crazy at all, the ring we got was truly breathtaking.
The whole process of designing and ordering the engagement ring was met with care and consideration for what we wanted and the expertise to guide us there. Basically, they listened to us and then helped us. It’s as simple as that, ¹⁰⁄₁₀ customer service.
We had looked around and gone to some of the big names before finding Ancona, across from our favorite movie theater. The big names had some nice rings, decent but expensive diamonds and ok staff. I would avoid Razny, across Lake St from Ancona, because they were kinda rude and a comparable diamond to the one we got was like twice the price, I wish I was joking. Another point for Ancona, the perfect engagement ring we got was what we wanted and within budget, they worked with us to get there.
The entire staff is friendly and ask how we’re doing, ask about the wedding planning, ask how is my future mother-​in-​law because she was with us the first time we went, they even recommended some venues and photographers. I don’t expect any business to do this, but it’s definitely a bonus and makes it feel less like a business.
This experience was the exact same, as in perfect, when we went to look for wedding bands. They were having an event, Antonio personally emailed me about it and we came in to look at bands. The same thing happened, they listened, helped us and we got something truly amazing out of it.
My fiancé’s engagement ring is beautiful, our wedding bands are amazing, the process to get them was very nice and we were kept in the loop along the way, what more do you want?

My fiancé and I recently went to Ancona to purchase our wedding bands. I am so glad that we made the decision to purchase through Ancona. We had a wonderful experience with Danielle Iaccino-​she was patient, kind and knowledgable. Danielle worked with us for a long time to make sure the wedding bands we chose were the ones we both loved. It was a really special experience. The whole Ancona jeweler team is always so welcoming and helpful and provides 5 star service.

Awesome jewelry store! My fiancé worked very closely with Malory designing my engagement ring and it could not have turned out more beautifully! The staff does an amazing job checking in with you after your purchase to make sure everything is perfect! We even went back to get our wedding rings from Anconas and they were able to help me design my perfect wedding ring to go along with my engagement ring! Highly recommend Anconas!

Hands down best jewelry store in the Northwest Suburbs exceptional customer service, very professional staff, exquisite pieces! Ancona is a family ran business & they really take care of their customers, they remember you when you walk in the door! Enzo is amazing & very helpful. Cant recommend Ancona enough!

Will not go anywhere else. Jessica is creative, innovative and worked with me within my budget! I’ll back for some more fun soon :) Thanks Jessica and team, you have a wonderful establishment that is customer oriented! Thanks for making this experience so easy and I’m just delighted with the outcome!

I love Ancona!!! The pieces are beautiful, the service is amazing and it is conveniently located next door to Starbucks.
Ancona is largely known for its engagement rings but they carry lots of pendants and fashion jewelry as well. The selection of Tacori and ForeverMark are impressive in light of the size of the place.
Rings are given a rhodium and light polishing free of charge each year. … See something you like but not in a position to buy it? Well, Ancona has a 90 day layaway plan.
Stop in and ask for Mallory or Paula. They will take care of you too. … Happy Shopping!

Ancona Jewelers is an amazing experience. I say experience because the store itself is not just a shop and buy kind of place. From the minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile, hello, and if this is your second time through the door called by name. The Jewelers are extremely insightful, pleasing, and make you feel like a long time friend. Tony, Enzo, and Paula will all bend over backwards to make your experience as accommodating as possible. They are willing to work with your price range and get you a piece that will bring a beautiful extension of your personality. If the piece is not in stock or hasn’t been made they are more than happy to have the artisans sculpt or create a personalized piece. They also offer wart and espresso which I always take advantage of. I’m sure if you mentioned you were hungry they would have some sort of baked pasta in the back that Nona had prepared the day before.
My personal experience has been that I have purchased my wife’s engagement ring and both wedding band 8 years ago. The engagement ring was a custom design which entailed multiple drawing of mine and my wife’s sculpted into a wax model. The setting diamonds were chosen after the wax model was approved and lastly the solitaire was fitted. The quality of the diamonds involved are unbelievable. My wife was and still is happy with her engagement ring 8 years after the wedding.
It has been a long time coming that we upgraded her diamond stud earrings. We have been shopping around for 2 years on and off looking at various places to compare prices. No other place has come close to the quality of diamonds Ancona has in store. The studs are extremely clear and the color was amazing for the 1.5 total weight studs I purchased. The price was about 20% less than other jewelry stores. I couldn’t believe it, the deal seemed to good to be true. I had been to other stores boasting 70% off jewelry and still Ancona had a better price with way better quality. I sat on the deal in my head for 2 days and had to take advantage because I knew I would never find a better deal and I would regret not getting these amazing diamonds.
Ancona also offers free financing for a year. I took advantage of this both times. It make buying jewelry an affordable option. Plus you can tell you wife for the next year that she is still getting a gift.
Ancona Jewelers is an amazing family owned business that makes you feel like one of the family. You will laugh when you enter, be treated like you own the place, and leave feeling like you have made the right choice on a huge decision. I cannot say enough about this place of business. I will say that I’m excited for the next few years because maybe it’s my turn to get a nice watch.

I brought in a MK watch to be resized and they quoted a very reasonable price. When I came back to pick it up it was still to big, they removed another link right away for no extra charge. Very good customer service.

I will tell you this I hate buying jewelry. But these guys make it so easy. They are all very friendly. They have beautiful arrangement of diamonds, gold etc… I also like that if you have to wait for a rep they will take care of you with a nice espresso. Great products. Great service.

I had finally built up enough courage to take the next step in life and ask my fiancé to marry me but I was afraid of what I would run into once I started looking for a ring. What I ran into was the expertise and quality of Ancona Jewelers. Not only were the employees at Ancona Jewelers knowledgeable, but they took all the anxiety and uncertainty away from the experience. They helped me make a sound decision so that I could purchase the perfect ring that worked for me. Needless to say, she said yes, and we are extremely happy. Do yourself a favor and choose Ancona Jewelers when making your next purchase.

I will never purchase another piece of jewelry from anyone other than Tony and Enzo at Ancona Jewelers and here’s why:
Everyone thinks that the engagement ring is for your lady. But any guy out there looking to propose, knows how I felt a few months ago. Lost, clueless with no idea where to start, and a sense that I’m only doing this once and I have to do it right. Guys, we know the girl is the one that’s going to wear the ring but no matter what we say or think, we want to do a good job. We want her to show it off. We want other girls to say ‘Wow, lemme see that!’ But just like having to get a gift for your sister when we were just little boys, we have no idea what they want or what they’ll like.
I had done my homework, learning about the basics online, the 4 c’s etc, but still felt a little intimidated by having to go out and actually pick a ring and buy it. I hate the process of having to buy a car for example, where you know the dealer’s out to get you. I felt as if this was going to be the same way. Painful and dreadful. I knew that going to just anybody at the mall was going to treat me exactly like a car dealer. And I didn’t have a ‘my guy’.
One night, my friends and I went out for dinner for my birthday. My best friend Antonio and his fiancée joined us that night who recently got engaged. I couldn’t take my eyes off her ring. Every chance I got I would sneak a peak at her hand. All I could think was ‘Wow’. Not 5 minutes went by before one of the girls at the table said, «Lemme see that». Yeah, she was proud of her ring, but no one was prouder than Antonio. He knew that he did a good job and you could tell by the look on his face. The kinda look you had in school when the teacher was passing back the exams and she would tell the entire class, «the best grade in class was by… You!»
I had to ask him afterwards, where and how? He told me after I made him promise to keep it a secret that I wanted to propose, «You have to go to Ancona, they are the BEST! They will take care of you!» He settled my nerves on all the questions I had.
The immediate Saturday after that, I took the leap and went to Ancona. That was the last time I called it Ancona. From then on, it was Tony and Enzo. Right off the bat, you know you’re dealing with people who know what they’re talking about and more importantly, are there to take care of you. They brought me a capuccino and sat down with me and asked my story, asked about my girl, talked to me like a friend not like a client. I cannot explain how comfortable they made me feel, as if I knew them forever.
Tony sat there patiently answering all my dumb questions and a few good ones, taking the time to make sure I was confident about my decision. He walked me through everything. Showed me my options and taught me alot, making me extremely confident that I was in good hands.
After our first meeting and some investigating on what my girlfriend wanted, Tony had prepared for me a selection of diamonds, laying out all of my options, never pressuring me or taking our minds off the budget.
Immediately I bonded with one stone that guys, if you’ve never noticed how amazing diamonds are, you’re missing out. I knew that this was the one. I gave them some ideas on how I wanted the setting, and they took care of the rest. They gave me more than I could ever imagine. They custom made a ring that absolutely blew me away. I left that day so excited and couldn’t wait to see the final product.
Let me just say that I hadn’t felt giddy like this since I got my Nintendo in fourth grade and wanted to skip school just to play Super Mario.
Once I saw the final product, I was in awe. It was amazing. If I was this giddy, I could only imagine what my girlfriend would think when she’d see it. I couldn’t thank Tony and Enzo enough. They made the process so easy, so smooth that I actually was a little sad that it was all over. Heck, they even gave me ideas on how and where to pop the question.
The hardest thing after that was keeping it a secret and not showing it to her for almost a week. The drive home with it was next to impossible because all I was doing was staring at it and the disco ball effect going on in my car from the sun hitting it.
Fast forward a week, once I got down on one knee and she said yes, (phew) the only thing she could say was, «Is this mine??» She couldn’t believe it. She sat there and stared at her hand forever. At that point, I felt like I got the best grade in the class.
To this day, girls and guys ask to see her hand in amazement, and i feel proud. I know i did a good job. And I owe it to Tony and Enzo. They made the process so enjoyable for the guy and even more incredible for the girl, the one that gets to wear the piece of art. They literally are artists. They are so professional. They know what they’re doing.
And now I can confidently pass on to you what I was told:
«You have to go to Ancona, they are the BEST! They will take care of you! »

My family has been a loyal customer for years, however I recently have made some pretty big purchases from Ancona myself, and I am just awed at their level of customer service and quality, I had to write a review!!! Last year my fiancé purchased my engagement ring from Ancona Jewelers. He had an amazing experience, as him and Enzo (one of the owners) designed my ring. They offer financing, which is really convenient. They did an amazing job of constantly communicating to him every time they had an update on the ring they were making. After he proposed, and I obviously got the ring, I was absolutely floored on the design and quality of the ring. Not to be biased, but it is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen! We just purchased our wedding bands from them as well. My band was custom made as well, and matches perfectly with my engagement ring. They really take time and make sure you are happy every step of the way. I wanted to get a band for my future husband that was dent and scratch proof, and they were completely honest with me and advised me on which metal to purchase for him. These days you can’t find the level of quality and customer service that you get from Ancona. They are a family business that has been around for years. Overall, excellent, excellent experience!!!
