Shari you delivered

by wildcatgrif

The Bjeweled store is an inviting boutique. A Gold Coast experience with diamond internet pricing. With neighbors like Bulgari and Tiffany they have to be good. Shari goes toe-to-toe with the best of the best. Shari's style is casual and thorough. Shari is a very talented designer. Her design style is head to hand.

No CAD just an artist developing individual pieces for each person. Very personal journey. Shari sketched the prototype engagement ring while we discussed details. Her incites were well thought out. Everyone in town talks custom design; however, Shari has the real cred to deliver. We watched her execute some jewelry techniques. We saw her Basel Exhibition designs. She brought an artists perspective to the ring design process. Chidexx delivered on the price. Nobody beat their price. Shari is a special person.

• Pros: Comfortable, Price, Personal Service, Great Ideas
• Cons: None

Shari has No Design Competition

by huskerfootball

We found Shari through the Chicago Notre Dame club. Shari does business the ND way with integrity and ethics. She is the consummate professional. Her diamond presentation was clear and informative. She armed us with the information necessary to make a good diamond decision. She let us walk and think about the diamonds presented. No pressure. We did the standard Wabash walk. There wasn't anyone that competed with Chidexx. Chidexx provides transparency and simplicity. Her design skills are unparalleled. She aided our idea development. The collaborative design process was satisfying. Shari brings a strong balance of architecture and art. I take great pride when folks stop my fiancee to look at her engagement ring. Great stuff.

• Pros: Unique Designs, Excellent After Sale Service, Comfortable
• Cons: Notre Dame football in the window. lol

Shari is One of a Kind

by Rhino85

Chidexx is the only way to do business. The pricing transparency is unique. There is full disclosure of the vendor price and the brokerage fee. After all my Wabash shopping and internet research these guys have no competition. Shari provides really good unbiased perspective. Shari found strong performing diamonds for our examination. She spent the time we needed to understand what we were buying. No pressure. She has a great sense of humor. Fun to work with. The ring design experience was exciting. Shari engages you in the design process. She explores different geometries to feature the diamond. Shari takes design to a different level. Her designs are unique. Shari is unique. Thanks for the great experience.

• Pros: Best Price, Product, People
• Cons: None

Shari is the Best Designer

by badgernation07

We found Shari by walking by the Bjeweled Store on Walton Street. Really cool layout. Store was busy with people having fun. Shari was discussing options with a client and allowed us to join the conversation. She didn't try to sell anything. Shari listened to needs and helped develop a diamond profile. She used our diamond profile to bring in diamonds for our review. We did our shopping on Wabash. No one touched the diamond price. More important, Shari took the time to listen to our ring design ideas. Shari enhanced our design ideas with interesting options. The finished ring was exceeded our expectation. Shari is a real artist with fresh ideas. I can see why she is invited to exhibit her designs. The service after sale is great.

• Pros: Great Design Talent, Great Listeners, Nice Folks
• Cons: None

Great service, great prices

by AnotherGuy

The service stood in stark contrast to any other place I tried to shop. Kevin and Shari took the time to explain diamonds in detail, to show stones in different lighting, point out their defects, etc. To top this, their service was prompt and their workmanship of good quality. Finally, the price for the same quality diamond and the same certification was about 10-20% lower than any other jeweler, which could mean a difference of over a thousand dollars or in some cases, even more.

• Pros: Thorough and transparent service, amazing prices
• Cons: None

We definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless process and an enjoyable purchasing experience.

Stunning style and quality at an equally stunning price!

by hereiam1

My husband researched diamonds prior to embarking on his engagement shopping extravaganza. Shari & Kevin were by far the most helpful and memorable. I was fortunate that my husband asked me to help design my engagement ring after he had met with Shari and chosed several center stones. Shari and Kevin made our selection and design process something we tell everyone about. My engagement ring and wedding band are absolutey true to my husband & mine's preference, taste and style. I have gotten compliments daily since I put the engagement ring on. The wedding band made to accompany the engagement ring really enhanced the already brilliant look. We returned to design my husband's wedding band and are just as pleased, receiving many many looks and compliments as well. If you know what you want, Shari & Kevin make it happen. If you don't know what you want, they help you figure it out in an appropriate and non-pushy way. They are all about the customer, which will make us return over and over for our jewelery wants and needs.

• Pros: one-on-one consultation, large selection, unique style

Kevin and Shari walked me through the whole process and were very patient. Shari designed a absolutely beautiful engagement ring for us. The quality and value received here could not be touched by any other jewelry store I went to, and I did a lot of research. Shari also custom made the wedding band and it is stunning. This is a outstanding place to get quality jewelry at a great price.

• Pros: Custom jewelry design, great prices, affordable
• Cons: None
