My fiance and I are thrilled with this custom-made engagement ring, made by Samir and his team at Pro Gems. The entire process of making the ring was pressure-free and collaborative. After discussing a initial vision for the ring, Samir took the time to educate me on factors to consider and ways to improve the design. I was then given multiple opportunities to give feedback on 3D CAD mock-ups and the printed wax model before they manufactured the final product.
The turnaround time was quick. The value at my budget was amazing. I will definitely be returning for more jewelry from Samir who is personable, knowledgeable and passionate about his work.

If I could give 200 stars I would.these guys Are Amazing! Samir, Pooja and Josh.amazing team. Where do I begin. my husband knew of them from his other cousins using them for their wives engagement rings and etc. So he used them for my engagement ring and wedding band.which I Love. I got an emerald stone with diamonds around and Samir helped him design and pick out the stone.
I also used them for my wedding jewelry fixing, as I am allergic to nickle, to get them dipped into something I could tolerate. Used them for silver necklaces 11 of them custom made, as wedding gifts. They also fixed diamond/gold earrings for me. AND made me 2 pairs of custom stud earrings I now wear daily. Like I said.they are an all star team!

Hands down, the best customer service! Pooja is extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and really listened to what I wanted. She was so dedicated to helping me find the engagement ring/wedding band of my dreams. Its honestly like she read my mind, figured out exactly what I was looking for, and made it happen. Thank u so much Pooja for helping us find a high quality diamond and Fed Ex express it in time for my husband to propose. The end result was absolutely incredible! I get compliments on my ring almost every day, from men and women. Pooja you are amazing and truly have a talent for what you do.

Pro gems has been a part of our biggest life events over the past few years now, we were referred by a good friend. Samir helped my husband with my engagement ring and our wedding bands a few years ago and Pooja has helped with jewelry celebrating many other momentous occasions over the years. The level of service, attention and detail is great! Pleased with the high quality we always get and Pooja's service specifically this time around, given the unique circumstances, were highly appreciated! Our jewelry has always turned out beautiful, unique and we have nothing but good things to say!

I cannot say enough about Pro Gems and the incredible work they did. My fiance went to them with my mother's old engagement ring and they used turned her old damaged ring into my beautiful engagement ring! They were great at communicating with him and working with his budget. Thank you all for helping us take this next step in our lives!

Pooja will make your vision a reality! Not only did Pro Gems help my husband purchase my engagement ring last year, but Pooja specifically helped me design the most beautiful wedding band. She created multiple CAD drawings of what I had described and helped make the ring real. I could not be happier with the outcome! I would recommend going to Pro Gems and working with Pooja, she's amazing!

I want to start out by saying thank you to Andrew & Pro Gems! While visiting Chicago Downtown we stopped by the store and I've been itching to add a submariner Rolex to my collection. Andrew quickly showed me the perfect watch at a price I could only dream off in Miami, customer service and everyone at the store was 5 Star, not only during the buying process but also the follow ups and much more.
I was extremely pleased with the service and my purchase so I asked Andrew to try and find a watch I've been looking for to surprise my fiance. Few weeks later Andrew contacted me with great news, lots of pictures / videos of the watch he found. The price was a bargain so I sent in the payment same day and received the watch on the 2nd day in Miami. It was absolutely stunning ( Audemars Piguet ) as described, extremely happy with both watches and looking forward to doing more business in the future.

Samir at Pro Gems came recommended by two different friends of mine and I will recommend him too. He listened to what my girlfriend (now wife) and I were looking for in an engagement ring, and we got something that was perfectly beautiful and not outrageously expensive. We came back to get our wedding bands (mine had to be re-sized after the fact) and were satisfied again.

Made my first purchase with Pro Gems recently. The gentleman that was helping me, Andrew, went above and beyond. He has a plethora of knowledge, and didn't seem annoyed by my many questions. Even went out of his way to make sure my experience with him was no less than perfect. I will for sure keep Pro Gems, and Andrew in mind when I think about my next watch or jewelry purchase. Thank you!

I was recommended to Pro Gems Jewelers, in particular, Samir, by my friend. I went to a handful of jewelers before meeting Samir and I can honestly say Samir was by far the most helpful, patient, and knowledgeable jeweler that I met with. I had zero knowledge of diamonds or rings when I started looking for an engagement ring for my fiance and Samir made me feel informed and comfortable throughout the process in designing the ring. The engagement turned out amazing! I definitely recommend Pro Gems Jewelers and Samir!

I was recommended Pro-Gem jewelers through a friend of my now Fiance, and I am so happy with our decision to trust them with our engagement ring. I worked with Samir from start to finish, and through long conversations and consultations, I can attest to his professionalism, transparency in the process, and his dedication to making our engagement a special day.
He truly cared about us and our relationship, and his part in making it a memorable day. Not only was his character absolute, but we worked hand in hand in custom designing something beautiful. Samir and his team took our blueprint, and knocked it out of the park. It was a stress-free, relaxed, and enjoyable experience. Thank you ProGems, and more specifically, thank you Samir!

Samir is the best at what he does. He helped my husband design the perfect engagement ring. I get compliments all the time on how unique it is. Not to mention, he let me borrow beautiful gems and jewels ( over $10,000 worth of merchandise) for my actual wedding! We had to write him a check of course, just in case but OMG! I truly felt like a superstar on the big day with these perfect huge diamond earrings & bracelet.
One of the best and easiest decisions of wedding planning. Also, he is reasonably priced. We went up and down jewelers row and Samir was on point with price, style, and service. My best friend got engaged after me and he used Samir too. We both are so happy with our rings. Keep up the wonderful work Samir!

I was in the beginning of my search for an engagement ring, went to a couple places in Chicago, and then a friend who had recently bought his fiance's engagement here at Pro Gems referred me--my friend also came from a long line of family/friend referrals, so I went in optimistic. I was told to speak to Samir, and upon my request was immediately made to feel comfortable.
No pressure at all. Samir and his team helped educate me on what to look for, all the while helping me articulate what I was looking for--or rather, what my fiance was looking for in an engagement ring. I was keeping the engagement a complete surprise, so had few details on what my fiance was looking for at first, but after several visits, Pro Gems guided me in creating a ring that was a perfect fit. Samir and his team were patient with me, listened, offered their expert opinions, and in the end delivered a stunning ring that my fiance still gets excited over.
After she said yes, I had to bring her in and introduce her to the man and the shop that helped make our engagement what it was. Thanks, Pro Gems! We'll be back soon for the wedding bands! Greg

I want to say that working with Brad to buy an engagement ring was nothing short of terrific. He was absolutely informative and professional from start to finish, showing me a good range of options according to what I was looking for and staying in touch with me throughout the whole process. I definitely recommend them for any jewelry needs.

My fiance bought my ring from Pro Gem and I love it, couldn't ask for anything better. I haven't been here myself but my fiance said Samir was super helpful, patient and spend a lot of time finding the exact diamond that my fiance was looking for. He made a CAD model of the ring as well. The ring turned out amazing!

Fantastic quality, customer service and all-around experience. We got our wedding bands here and couldn't be happier. Brad was extremely helpful and, importantly, not overbearing. We got exactly what we wanted and without the added stress that we were starting to feel looking other places. Highly recommend.

A trusted friend of mine sent me to Samir when I mentioned I was getting ready to look for an engagement ring. I was told "He is a great guy, and does amazing work" - I am happy to report, both of these statements are indeed facts. Prior to this, I had never purchased a piece of jewelry in my life beyond a ring pop at the candy store as a kid. I had done some research on the internet, but was basically clueless. Samir arranged a time for us to meet and sat down with me and went through all the aspects of purchasing an engagement ring.
We discussed budget and styles and he walked me through all the details of the process. I decided to bring my now-fiance in to make sure she was getting the exact ring she wanted. As she was describing her ideal ring, it was as if Samir had read her mind and instantly showed her something nearly identical. We decided on a custom setting and Samir was able to get us the ring of her dreams for well within my budget.
We are now engaged and when she saw the finished product, my fiance said it was "beyond perfect" and "more than she could have ever imagined" We are so thankful to Samir for his kindness, patience, and expertise - I will refer anyone I encounter who is looking for Jewelry in the future to see him - friends and strangers alike.

Brad has been wonderful to work with through the process of designing and producing my engagement ring. He is ways willing to meet with my fiance and me for simple questions as well as the ring designing. He knew exactly what I was trying to design when I lacked the words to properly explain it. The ring is perfect and we will be coming back for our wedding bands!

I had my engagement ring custom made by Pro Gems. I live in California but heard of Samir through my sister who also had a custom wedding band made by him. Samir was a pleasure to work with during the whole process. He was very responsive to all my emails, calls, and concerns. He was caring and provided excellent customer service with no pressure.
I could not have asked for a better professional to work with on such a precious piece of jewelry. I can't wait to work with him on my wedding band and other jewelry I would like created. I highly recommend! Thanks a million Samir, love my ring!

We were referred to Pro Gems from several friends. We called and set up appointments with Samir and were extremely pleased. Samir understood our busy schedules and was always very accommodating. At each meeting Samir patiently educated us on our options and took notice of exactly what we were looking for. After a few visits he was able to find exactly what we were looking for at the price range we were comfortable with. The whole process was pressure free and we are very excited with how everything has turned out. Thank you! Highly Recommended!
