Wedding Bands & Co.

To start we have looked everywhere from family friends jewelry stores to Tiffanys to find the perfect ring. The first time we got it wrong. The second time Terry walked us through the process. He constantly made himself available even when I would walk in 2 minutes before closing. Throughout the process he gave us constant status updates, reviews, email every picture possible, answered all of our crazy questions to make sure it was perfect… you get it.
The professionalism of this establishment is second to none as well as the quality.
Thank you to Wedding Bands & Co as well as Terry to make the term «Second is the Best» 100% true about our engagement ring and wedding band.

Great products! And they stand behind them. I’ve gotten the complimentary cleaning almost every 6 months, and they have always taken good care to tighten and check my diamonds. I have an amazing ring set thanks to them!

My finace and I were on the hunt for an amazing and unique engagement ring, which would mirror our love and my personality. After hunting through many of the stores on Jeweler’s row, I decided to go into Wedding Bands. At that time none of the salesmen were available, but I was able to meet with Koorosh himself. He was super friendly and helped me pick out exactly what I wanted. Fast forward a few weeks, my finance got the ring yay! And it was great, but unfortunately I wasn’t in love with the font of the initials. After he proposed we took it back to Koorosh, and told him what kind of change we would like and he said it was no problem to fix it. I also asked him to resize it, and he did that free of charge. When it came back, the font was perfect. I wore it for a few weeks, and started to feel like the sizing was still a little too big, and took it back to Koorosh. Since we had purchase the extended warranty, I was able to get it resized again for free! It only took an afternoon, and was so quick and easy. Koorosh made sure that I was completely comfortable with the new size before I left. He really took his time to make sure that I had exactly what I wanted, leaving me with the ring of my dreams.

My soon to be husband and I stopped in at WBC to design our wedding rings. After a botched arrangement with Jan Dee we were in a time crunch and very discouraged about the specific design we wanted. We met with Terry, who was extremely helpful and reassured us that he could get it done in the amount of time we needed it, and even lower than our budget. The ring turned out beautifully, just what I had imagined in my mind! We have since come back to design a matching ring for my husband! Again Terry was fabulous at staying within out budget and giving us exactly what we were looking for! Excellent customer service and beautiful products!

I was in Chicago this past weekend for a convention, and I needed to get my rings cleaned — they were dull and starting to itch me. Koorosh was so pleasant, and pointed out that the plating on my white gold rings needed to be redone (it had actually been about 6 years since I’d last done it, and you’re supposed to have it done 1 x year). It only took about 30 minutes, and they let me plug in my cell phone while I waited. My rings look beautiful, and people were commenting on them all weekend!
While I waited I also looked through Koorosh’s portfolio. He’s designed some very beautiful and ornate rings for various celebrities around Chicago. He was so friendly, and we talked about how he came to the US (fascinating story!), and showed me photos of his wife and child.
Bottom line… I’m not sure what is up with some other reviews about staff being rude, but I did not experience that. They were willing to clean my rings for free, and would not have been rude if I decided not to do the rhodium plating. In the end I spent $ 75 and was treated like I was spending 75K. I would highly recommend coming here!

Very professional, responsive and accommodating. Koorosh and Mory were a pleasure to work with. We had my engagement ring designed and made there and it turned out beautifully — exactly what I had envisioned. We also just ordered our wedding bands there. We plan to go back. Highly recommend this place!

My fiancé and I did a lot of research before deciding on a jeweler. We wanted a custom design and had a set budget, so we knew what we wanted and how much we could spend on it. We looked at all of the stores on jeweler’s row, and after seeing everyone’s prices online, we decided Wedding Bands & Co was worth a visit.
We scheduled and appointment and got there earlier than expected, but they managed to fit us in immediately, which was very nice. Their selection is beautiful and their prices were reasonable. We talked to Chanel, who sat us down and asked us more questions about what we were looking for. When we had set up the appointment, we had explained that we were looking for a cushion cut at a certain budget, and when we met she brought us two diamonds: one at the upper end of our budget, and one that was double the price. She kept talking about how it was clear that the more expensive one was such an amazing gem, almost trying to make us feel bad if we took the one we actually came to see. Not only that, she also became extremely impatient when she realized we weren’t looking to purchase a stone that very day. She specifically mentioned she «didn’t have time» for that, and that we shouldn’t be wasting each other’s time if we didn’t want to buy a stone.
Overall, not impressed. We ended up choosing another jeweler in jeweler’s row that treated us with patience, respect, and attention.

I went here to pick out an engagement ring for my girlfriend. The jewelry consultant I worked with was Chanel. She was an absolute Saint through the entire process. I made numerous changes and changed my mind on the design too many times to count. I felt bad for Koorosh the designer of the ring for dealing with me but he too was very patient throughout the process. I highly recommend Wedding Bands & Co they produced a beautifully crafted ring and I thank them from the bottom of my heart!

Working with Koorosh and the team at Wedding Bands & Co was an absolute pleasure. We entrusted Koorosh with a family heirloom — my fiancé’s Grandma’s 67 year old engagement ring — and he worked closely with us to create a beautiful, original design for my engagement ring and wedding band. He was also able to redesign the original band, which we’ll be using in our wedding ceremony. Koorosh kept us updated along every step of the design process and walked us through the final appraisal and insurance plan options. We couldn’t be happier with the way our pieces turned out and look forward to working with Koorosh again in the future!

I walked in for a simple watch battery replacement, and not only did I pay $ 20 for them to install a new battery valued at $ 2, but they broke my watch. Previously a waterproof watch that I’d had for well over a year, it steamed up in the shower the next day and condensation remained that kept me from being able to tell the time. When I went back for a refund, they said they wanted to try to fix it first. I agreed and yet when I called several times for a status update, never got a clear answer. Lessons learned: Don’t go to a jeweler for a simple repair, and don’t expect good customer service unless your transaction is worth thousands of dollars.

My husband & I chose to have my engagement ring redesigned for our 10 year anniversary. We couldn’t have picked a better place. Koorosh, Oscar & Terrance did the most amazing job designing my ring. Terrance was very helpful with ideas & the whole design process was fun! When I opened the box & got to look at my ring in person for the first time it took my breath away! It was everything I envisioned & more! I will definitely be going back to Wedding Bands & Co. for all of my jewelry needs! Thank you so much for all of your help and an amazing job!!!

Great work and very fast service!

Wait… there’s no such thing as 0-​stars? I initially contacted Wedding Bands & Co. for both a center stone and a ring. Jim followed-​up with me within 24 hours of my online request, which was great. During the time he was contacting vendors for stones to show me and the time we had scheduled an appointment, I found the stone elsewhere. Who only shops around at one place for such a thing?!
I IMMEDIATELY called Jim to give him a heads up (prior to our appointment) and to let him know that I am now only in the market for a ring. I told him my budget for the ring and asked him, point blank, whether or not that was feasible. I told him that I didn’t want to waste either one of our times. He said, «Of course we can make it work.»
Fast forward to the date of our appointment: Jim passive-​aggressively brought up the fact that we found the stone somewhere else about three different times. Some of the «memorable» comments: «My manager said to me, ‘Jeez, how fast do you have to move? She found a stone within an hour of speaking to you?’» and «It’s okay that you found it somewhere else. We’re just happy for any business you give us.»
Normally I would have been annoyed, but I just shrugged the comments off because I already told him what the budget was and specifically told him that if he couldn’t do it, that was fine with me (there are plenty of other places to get a ring). So, we found a ring we liked and he said that he would have a rendering to me within a week. A week goes by, I call him to touch base and he says that he’s «trying to figure out a way to open up the base of the ring while staying within budget.»
He assured me that he would be in touch within another 2 – 3 days. I called him again and got the same response. That was the last time I reached out to him and he has never followed-​up with me since.
If someone tells you flat out what their budget is and you don’t think you can do it, don’t waste their time by telling them you can and then just leave them hanging. Why waste my time (and yours) by stringing me along on a job you can’t complete?! HIGHLY annoyed and flabbergasted that my «don’t want to waste your time» plan did NOTHING. Maybe next time I should give him a fake budget and string HIM along. SMH.

My fiancé and I were on a quest to find our wedding bands about 2 months before our wedding, so after a some research, we headed over to Wedding Bands and were greeted by Jim. My fiancé immediately found the ring he had in mind, but I’m the type of person who needs to shop, research, change my mind a few times; and then when i’m finally sure that I’m getting something quality at a fair price, I will buy :)
Jim was extremely understanding and patient with me and my fickleness. I went back numerous times (i live close-​by) and every time, Jim was attentive and helped me work through my decision anxiety, while offering his educated opinion. He was always available and called me when he said he would. I was even able to sit with Koorosh, who took the time to speak with me even more from a designer’s point of view. He has a great talent for designing custom pieces that you and your partner will love for a lifetime.
When I finally decided which band would be «the one,» it was made and in my hands in about a week and the final product was better than expected. Now, I’m looking forward to going back for anniversary bands or other jewelry :)
If you’re looking for great service, fair prices, custom designs, or even a simple style, stop by and see what they can do for you. They don’ have a whole floor full of samples, but they have enough and can bring in other samples. Remember — more samples means more overhead (which you pay for in the price of your ring at other places).

My fiancé picked the ring (which is lovely) but I had the opportunity to add to the design by creating my own wedding band. After cruising up and down Wabash for my idea (I coined the phrase «bagel ring» for these guys) I was frustrated that my concept didn’t exist. And we hadn’t gone into Wedding Rings & Co previously because I thought it’d be totally out of our price range. And it wasn’t. It was slightly more than the other rings we were looking at, but to design a unique ring that they create, that’s an heirloom piece that will have such a great story to it, it’s worth an extra couple hundred dollars.
Reginald was our salesman. Polite, knowledgeable and timely. He always called when he said he would and followed up with emails, etc. And Koorosh literally drew up my idea as I sat before him. When they created the CAD and wax, it was everything I’d imagined my ring to be.
When we got the ring (not longer than a month after we walked in the door) it needed one small adjustment. Reginald and staff were extremely accommodating and had it fixed within three days.
Aside from wedding rings/​bands, they have countless other pieces of jewelry that have a classic, timeless appeal. Hands down, I’ll be purchasing and creating more jewelry from here. Can’t wait to be able to wear my band post-​wedding day!

Koorosh did a simply amazing job on my now-wife’s wedding ring. We went for an initial consultation together and from that point on just he and I worked on the final design. He must have re-​worked the design a half dozen times until it was perfect. And his prices on the diamonds were the best I had found, even better than internet pricing!
And then he designed my ring as well, re working the design several times. I have a very unique design with my wife’s fingerprint stamped into the design… so many comments daily about it’s uniqueness.
Koorosh seems to truly enjoy this line of work and it shows in his engagement in meetings, quick responses to e-​mails, and overall joy in his voice as he discusses the design. He is great… I have already sent him several referrals!

Can’t say enough about my experience at Wedding Bands & Co. Victor helped me in purchasing an engagement ring and wedding bands. The service was outstanding. There was no pressure and they walked me through the options. It’s been over a year since I purchased the rings and I have no regrets. The rings are perfect.
They also helped my wife and I design a custom pair cuflinks for a friend’s birthday. Again, outstanding service top to bottom.
Koorosh and Victor, thank you for your service. You’re my first and last stop for my next jewelery purchase!

Wedding Bands & Co fixed my «un-​fixable» vintage Gucci timepiece!
The Gucci timepiece, model 1100-​L, has long been discontinued & was a gift to me from my mother over a decade ago.
My mother wore it for many years when I was a child. She finally gave up on the watch when jeweler after jeweler had an extremely difficult time replacing the watch battery.
My mother was actually told by a jeweler to, «Never bring the Gucci timepiece in again for repair.»
The timepiece has been sitting dormant in a safe place ever since she gave it to me. I was at a loss with a gorgeous watch.
Wedding Bands & Co was recommended to me, and I saw that they offered a check-​in offer of one free watch battery replacement! I just HAD to see what they could do for me.
I visited their lovely store & was assisted promptly & kindly by a very knowledgeable associate. He was impressed that I had kept the watch all these years & scoffed at the fact that previous jewelers had such a hard time with a simple battery replacement.
He expressed his concerns over possible battery corrosion considering the length of time the watch had sat quietly in my home & had it looked at by their specialist.
I received a phone call the very next business day saying my watch was perfectly fine, in outstanding condition & contained a shiny new battery.
I visited Wedding Bands & Co last night to pick up my watch. I was beaming with happiness as this Gucci timepiece means a lot to me… considering it was a gift from my mother & I have distinct childhood memories of it resting on her wrist. I even hugged the associate because I was so excited!
They gladly redeemed my Unilocal!check-​in offer for the free battery replacement, & I was off again with my lovely, perfect watch.
As long as I reside in Chicago, I will ONLY be taking my jewelry & watches to Wedding Bands & Co. Their service is simply unparalleled.

Well I didn’t come here for a ring, but maybe I will be back for that as I thought this place to be really nice.
I actually came here because they do laser welding and I had them repair my eyeglasses. It was cheap and while not totally clean for the weld was very solid. Also, you can’t see the weld as it is on the inside of one of the legs which is why they did a bigger weld for me.
Not cheap, but not really too expensive. I think they did a great job for me and the people I dealt with were very nice.

After visiting many of the shops on Wabash, and kept walking past Wedding Bands & Co and one day we finally stopped in. To our surprise they had a ring in their display case which had an antique design that matched my engagement ring perfectly!
We were impressed with the quality they had to offer. Most of the rings we had seen were hollowed out to save on the gold, however at Wedding Bands & Co there were no hallowed out rings. You pay for what you get, and if you want quality then you will have to pay for it however jewlery is an investment for life. Especially when it comes to your wedding bands, it’s something you will have forever. My then fiancé was having a hard decision… diamonds or no diamonds for him. After much thought he did in fact go with the diamonds and I think he deserved a little bling after all…
To my surprise my fiancé had gone back after we picked up our wedding bands and did a little more shopping. All the staff is extremely helpful and helped him pick out an amazing pendant which he gave me on our wedding day. It was simply stunning! We never had a go to jeweler until now, we will go back anytime we need something special! Big thanks to all the staff their, you will not be disappointed with their quality if you visit!
