Browne's Fine Jewelry

I wanted a pearl engagement ring, with no diamonds, so I had to look around a lot for one. Browne's Jewelry in Champaign, IL on Kirby Avenue was very helpful. They had great customer service and had the perfect ring for me! They are a small, local business, so I think they are more able to make special customizations and have better customer service than chain jewelry stores.

The girl's at Brown's were so helpful at finding us exactly what we wanted in our rings. They have hundreds of designs to choose from and so many different jewels to pick from also. Neil Brown himself even came out and talked with us about what we wanted.

We were extremely pleased with Browne's Jewelry. I purchased the engagement ring without any input from my now-wife, and Andrea really helped guide me towards what I thought my now-wife would like. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable--and I enjoyed being helped by someone around my own age (mid-20's). Not being an expert, it's hard for me to judge the value and whether I paid too much or too little, but I think I got a knockout ring for a reasonable amount.We also purchased our wedding bands here. Because my wife's engagement ring had some curve to it, Andrea had a ring custom made to fit its shape exactly--my wife's very pleased with it. Andrea also really helped me with my choice of wedding band.
