Worked with Stephen to re-size a couple of rings that were passed down from our family to be used for our marriage ceremony next week. We were able to get them back in excellent condition and sizes were perfect as agreed upon. Great service, would definitely recommend to any locals in the Gold Coast area.

When my now fiancé asked what type of “special ring” I would like, I knew I wanted an antique. Stephen’s collection is the only one of its kind near us. We live in WI and looked all around to find an antique jeweler. No one knew the gemstones and understood the craftsmanship quite like Stephen.Our other stops in Chicago and Milwaukee simply did not compare to Beverly R. My fiancé and I chose my ring together and Stephen made it such a special experience. He was so helpful in helping me go with my intuition and choosing the ring that complimented me the most. I went in thinking I wanted a blue sapphire set in yellow gold and walked out with a diamond set in platinum. My ring was handmade in the Art Deco era and while we do not know the original owner, the ring is such a treasure. Looking at it took me to our wedding day. I could see my old lady hand passing it off to my grandchild one day.Stephen knows what good customer service is and does not disappoint. We could not be happier!

THE place for jewelry in Chicago. Steven is the best to work with. Purchased my fiancés engagement ring here and went back with her to purchase our wedding bands. Steven is an excellent communicator and a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend a trip to Beverley Jewelers on Walton Street. It is tucked away on this quiet street just steps from the Drake Hotel. I have lived in the Streeterville neighborhood for three years now and passed by the shop many times. I had always admired the beautiful objects in the window and the adorable dog who sits there named Bandit. One day I was walking by and saw a beautiful ruby, diamond, and pearl necklace glaring at me from the window display. This was more than I could resist as it sparkled in the sunlight. I immediately went inside to take a closer look. I was delighted to meet Stephen, the proprietor, who is a delightful British gentleman. He was so knowledgeable about the pieces and the time periods from which they came. I was treated to a full and friendly tour of all of the beautiful objects in the shop. He has a very unique collection of items that he has personally selected. I don’t think I’ve seen so many quality antique pieces in one place. If you have an appetite for beautiful handmade jewelry and and an appreciation of historical relevance, you will truly enjoy the shopping experience here. I was thrilled when my husband subsequently visited with Stephen and purchased the exquisite Ruby necklace as my Valentine’s Day present. Priceless!

My fiancé found my engagement ring at Beverly R with Stephens help. Stephens customer service is unmatched, he is a truly kind individual who shares his extensive knowledge to find the perfect piece in his highly curated collection.Stephen even engaged in a bit of theatre with my fiancé to correctly size my ring finger after it was purchased - they brought me in under a guise and pretended never to have met to preserve the surprise of the impending engagement/previous purchase of the ring. Previously I had been sized by other Jewelers, Im grateful Stephen took the time to correctly size such a dear piece as my previous measurements were very incorrect.At every point, our experience at Beverly R. Was top notch and so very special. Weve already returned to look for wedding bands and look forward to trusting Stephen with our future needs.If youre looking for an intentional and unique piece, there simply is no where else to go.

If you are searching for a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry and fantastic customer service, Beverly R should be your only stop. Stephen helped my fiancé and I find the perfect engagement ring. He listened carefully to what we wanted, was mindful of our budget, and was infinitely patient as we tried on jewelry. Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable and will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Go see Stephen for any piece of jewelry you desire - you won’t be disappointed!

The Beverley R contains the greatest curation of antique jewelry Ive seen outside of a museum. Stephen, a gemologist and perfect English gentlemen, has selected each piece personally and every piece is worthy of a clients attention. He offers exquisite opals and gorgeous gemstones in addition to an incredible diamond collection without rival and his selection of gold and platinum is unparalleled in all of Chicago. After reading about them for years in literature, I saw an etui in person for the first time! If youre looking for any antique jewelry or era-specific accessory, please reach out to Stephen for a great experience!

We had a wonderful experience at Beverly R. I highly recommend coming here for beautiful and unique antique jewelry.

I visited Beverley R after finding the store on a Google search and was so delighted by the unusual antique pieces on offer. Stephen was very informative in general and impressive with his knowledge on the history of each piece. I highly recommend this store. You won’t be disappointed.

My guy and I went in to Beverly R to find an engagement ring after learning about this shop through a simple Google search. I knew I wanted something timeless and vintage. I was looking for something art deco specifically. This place is a true find, and let me tell you, service and selection dont come better than this.The owner, Stephen, is a consummate host. His love and expertise of fine antique jewelry are apparent as soon as you step in to his shop. He is patient, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to get to know us and get a good feel for what we were looking for. There was never a moment when we felt rushed or pressured.We couldnt be happier to have found Stephen and his shop. Ive not shopped for an engagement ring before today, but I cant help but think this is how the experience should always be. We cant recommend his shop (or his selection!) highly enough. An added bonus was his adorable side kick, their dog Bandit. If only every jewelry shop had a Bandit! I look forward to future trips to his shop to browse and say hello.

Beverly R is awesome, hands-down and Im so glad I visited this store. Found it online and it definitely lives up to all the reviews.Stephen was awesome to work with and he helped me pick out the perfect engagement ring for my girlfriend. He was both flexible and inclusive of his approach while teaching the basics of antique-jewelry shopping along the way. Even the interactions with him are all pleasant, hes not pushy in the slightest and he genuinely puts a lot of thought into the whole experience, making sure you get the jewelry for the loved-one or friend you are looking for.I am confident I picked a timeless piece of jewelry that my partner will love and it wasnt stressful in the slightest.Highly-recommend his expertise and knowledge!

BeverlyR offers the best customer service I have ever experienced! I love that the store is filled with unique pieces. Stephen, the owner, was very helpful while I found the perfect piece....a sapphire and diamond pendent. It is stunning! LOVE!

Absolutely amazing jewelry. My engagement ring is so unique and one of a kind. Stephen is just a wonderful person. Thank you!!!

My husband and I purchased my engagement ring here — amazing and unique selection of Art Deco and Edwardian pieces. Stephen is lovely, incredibly knowledgeable, and the absolute opposite of a pushy salesperson. You will definitely wind up with a piece that fits your personality here. Would 150% recommend to anyone looking for quality, beautifully curated estate/antique jewelry options. No other place like it in the city.

Stephen is so welcoming and knowledgeable, with an amazing selection. He was very kind and patient in showing me several pieces of jewelry, and pleasant when I asked to think about it. I later made a purchase by phone and the item arrived in a timely and safe manner. I highly recommend Beverley R Jewelry and will shop again, thanks!

My husband found a gorgeous pair of diamond earrings at Beverley R. Steve Forward is very knowledgeable and was extremely helpful in helping my husband select the best anniversary present. The shop is filled with so many beautiful pieces, and you could not find a more helpful advisor to help you choose the perfect little treasure. I am so thrilled with my earrings, and I will definitely visit in the future when I am looking for the perfect gift for someone special.

Things Men Have Made: The second piece of jewelry we ever bought from Stephen was a diamond and sapphire ring to mark my wife’s retirement. We had both been teachers: never had a lot of money, never will have – but I promised her that when we both retired I would buy her something of value, something that we both would treasure, something that would become a family heirloom,. Something to be passed on to our daughter, and then on to her daughter, down through the ages. We went to look and found the ring. It was a typical Stephen piece, lying there all innocently, biding its time. She tried it on. It fitted perfectly, but more than that, it came alive and sparkled and shone like it had never done on its tray in the cabinet. We all fell in love with it instantly. It was more than we had intended paying, significantly more, but we bought it anyway and it has turned out to be the best purchase we ever made. I cannot describe to you the joy that my wife feels when she wears it and the joy that I feel when I see it on her finger. Later, I sent Stephen a copy of this poem by DH Lawrence:“Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life intoare awake through years with transferred touch, and go on glowingfor long years.And for this reason, some old things are lovelywarm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.”Stephen has a knack for recognising such things. Thankfully he buys them and thankfully he sells some of them to me. He might just do the same for you.

My wife and I have been coming to see Stephen for years now. We were originally introduce to him and his store, Beverley R, by a mutual friend in the city. Our friend has a keen eye for antique and vintage jewelry and will not buy anything that is not of the highest quality. With that said, he has purchased numerous items from Stephen over the years. We have now embarked on creating our own collection and we couldnt imagine working with anyone other than Stephen himself.If you are looking for that perfect piece that is a true one-of-a-kind, this is your place and Stephen is your man!

The shop owners are lovely and their taste is impeccable. This place is great for real antique pieces that arent going to look like the antique style pieces you are going to see everywhere else. My engagement ring is from here and I have never seen anyone with anything remotely like it, but I always get compliments on it. They are also very knowledgeable on the history of jewelry for the time periods they carry. So you walk away with a gorgeous piece along with some interesting facts about the jewelry of the era as well.

It was an absolute pleasure shopping and purchasing my unique antique engagement ring from Beverley R. I had been searching for quite awhile for something beautiful and I found just what I had in mind. Stephen was very knowledgeable on the pieces and is very delightful. It is a hidden gem. Thank you!!!

We had such a great experience engagement ring shopping at Beverley R! Stephen was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time to help us find a piece we love. Beautiful selection and very professional as well. We look forward to working with Beverley R in the future.

A completely pleasurable and satisfying experience from the moment I walked in. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable, warm, and accommodating. The workmanship and quality of Beverley R’s pieces are exquisite and one of a kind. Will recommend to any and all.

I’ve had a penchant for antique jewelry ever since I played dress-up as a little girl. For my 25th birthday, I received my first authentic Victorian-era piece: a stunning diamond necklace from Beverley R. It is truly one-of-a-kind, and one of my most prized possessions. I receive compliments on it every time I wear it - safe to say it will be a family heirloom for generations to come. I look forward to patronizing Beverley R in the future for truly special adornments.

This is the most fabulous store for finest and unique antique jewelry in Chicago. Beverley and Steve are very kind, very knowledgeable and their personal service and attention to details can not be matched. I am proud to recommend them!

Wonderful to do business with Stephen, Beverly and their furry children. Exquisite jewelry, no pressure,.You walk into another world when you enter this charming shop filled with lovely antique jewelry. Extremely honest people to do business with. I am a repeat customer and will be back again.Linda and Stan

I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen and Beverly’s jewellery store in Chicago. We travelled across from the UK to look for an antique engagement ring and were not disappointed! Stephen was extremely helpful and it was a pleasure doing business with him.

The owners prowess in antique jewelery is brilliant and radiates their passion for what they do. Quality and friendly service, along with unique and rare finds makes this a true gem.

My family have purchased a number of pieces from Stephen over the years for significant birthdays, all of which have been of exceptional quality. I was also lucky enough to receive my Art Deco diamond engagement ring from Beverley R. Stephen is immensely knowledgeable and happy for you to take your time choosing something you’ll always treasure - I think the first time we made a purchase we visited three times before eventually deciding on a pair of earrings. There was never any pressure for me to make up my mind. There is also a wide selection of pieces at all price points so don’t feel worried about not finding something within your budget.What I find particularly wonderful about antique jewellery is that, because it was designed and made at a time before harsh electric lights, it has a softer, more luminous quality. This means that the stones really sparkle!Say hello to their lovely dog Bandit when you pop in for a visit to try on some of their wonderful pieces :)

If you are a purist like me, and want a piece of antique jewelry as opposed to something which looks old but isn’t, then take a stroll down Walton Street next to the world’s famous Drake Hotel in Chicago. There lays a little hidden gem, no pun intended, called Beverley R! Now keep your eyes open because if you blink you might just miss it and that would be a travesty!Beverley R is owned by Stephen and his wife Beverley, a lovely couple from England. The minute you walk through the door you will be amazed by all of the beautiful antique pieces of jewelry on display from the actual period as apposed to all of the modern copies and reproductions that many stores carry!Stephen is so knowledgeable about the different periods and pieces that you will be pleasantly surprised that it is not just a case of purchasing a lovely piece of jewelry, but having an educational experience as well!Beverley R is located at 172 East Walton in Chicago.

Wonderful selection, very kind, knowledgeable and hospitable owners...and a lovely dog to pet too! Would highly recommend this shop.

Unique refined shop with the finest antique jewelry and experienced owners.

Really beautiful antique pieces!
