Why is this place even open? they clearly don't want to serve or encourage customers to shop there. They act as if the customer is bothering them to no end. So why are they there, This is a continuing problem and had heard it before but like most dismissed it as one opinion. Don't go there, the staff and some guy named Kip the manager or owner is as rude and disconcerting as the floor staff. Why does he bother to open up daily? ...read more

Jewelry by Christopher

5.0

By LorynLawton

I had been looking at styles engagement rings for months on-line and in several jewelers in IL and WI. I was seen a pattern of so many looking the same. I wanted something timeless but different. I found a CAD drawing and had in my phone for months. I seem to keep going back to it and finally we made a decision it was the one. We had no idea what it would cost to make it a reality. So we went to see Christopher for the 2nd time to see what it would take in our price range. He was beyond easy to work with and we were pleasantly surprised by the affordability. I was a bit nervous as I had never had anything made before. He nailed it! Looks exactly like the drawing. I have had it now for a few days and I get compliments galore. I would definitely recommend him as well as he will be adding the wedding band in the future! Loryn- Loves Park IL ...read more

Beaded Bookmarks are Finally Here By Popular Request !

  I apologize for the long delay in offering bookmarks at Jades Creations, but I wanted to design my beaded bookmarks (like my jewelry line) different and unique from anything else I have seen. I spent a lot of time researching different styles and structures of the design. After several months of study and research I developed a "Shepards Style" beaded bookmark along with the latest popular "Thong Style" bookmark.   My thong style beaded bookmarks are designed with braided heavy duty soft cord for strength and durability. This method of design will not bind or indent your favorite book in the way some "beaded" style bookmarks do. The cord slides right in your favorite book or bible allowing  the beads to dangle out both ends keeping it in place. The best part, any of my beaded bookmark designs will fit in just about any size book!Like my jewelry line, I hand selected every gemstone, crystal and bead used in my bookmark designs to ensure you will receive only the highest quality bookmarks available. My bookmark designs will be a "stocked" item so you will be able to order more than one of the same design if you wish.If you know someone who is an avid reader, these bookmarks would make the perfect gift. They have been very popular in our recent jewelry shows and home jewelry partys.As a jewelry designer I always have my mind open for new designs and style.If you have a suggestion or would like to see a particular gemstone, crystal or bead used in one of my designs, please feel free to contact me for a custom beaded bookmark. It would be an honor to design one just for you!Shop Jades Creations Beaded Bookmarks Now! ...read more
