When I met Sarah I couldn't stop looking at her jewelry...little did I know she was the creative force behind it. The stones she works with are simply stunning and the clasp being part of the design, is very unique and a great added touch. Stylish and classic are the best way to describe how you feel when wearing.
I would like to tell you how pleased I am with the Rose Quartz bracelet and earrings that I received today, Monday, May 12th. They are beautiful in themselves PLUS they match the Rose Quartz necklace that I already have.
It is very important to me to have coordinating/complete sets of jewelry and I like that you offer this. Some people will tell me that jewelry should not match and should be eclectic but I must tell you that I have a very “organized” personality and that I’m not spontaneous or eclectic.
Also, thank you for the well-wrapped and secure packaging. I received your $15 “thank you” certificate and will take some time to look at your other items on your website. Whether for me, or for gifts for family or friends, you have beautiful items to share…
Thank you again and again and again! Have a wonderful day!

Sarah is one of the sweetest, nicest, savviest and most selfless people with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working! She took her life by the reigns by striking out on her own to fulfill her dream of owning her own jewelry business and that alone is commendable. Not only that, but Sarah has a passion for people. That passion shows through all the time as every couple of weeks I find myself meeting yet another useful and business-expanding contact through Sarah's generosity and love for helping others. Artist, entrepreneur, colleague and friend - Sarah can be counted on through thick and thin. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Sarah is one of the most interesting women I know, so I wasn't surprised when I saw her jewelry designs ranged from dainty, to classy, to modern, to fun and funky. I can't think of an event I'm going to attend where one of Sarah's pieces won't be going with me.
Whenever I'm out networking (or even at the grocery store) people ask "Where did you get that necklace!" If I'm feeling sassy I'll tell them it was done by my jewelry designer, then I wait for them to react (because now they think it's over the moon expensive) and then I tell them the price. Jaws always drop. I keep a few of Sarah's cards on me at all times because I think if I didn't tell where I got my pieces, I might get attacked for them!
The best part is that these are pieces I can wear everyday. I never used to be a "jewelry person" but the Chic Gems Etc. jewelry has made me a daily jewelry wearer. They match t-shirts and cocktail dresses. How can you say no when you have something so pretty and wearable in your jewelry box?!

Sarah's designs are classy, hip, and fun. Dress an outfit up or down, but don't leave without her jewels! Find her designs on-line and in boutiques. Or, call for a meeting for your own original piece. Not only is Sarah an excellent designer, but a phenomenal business woman with high integrity and incredible drive.

Sarah is a delightful client to work with. I am also an owner (and fan) of the Chic Gems, Etc. jewelry line and cannot recommend it highly enough. Classy, chic, and fun - its also durable. My toddler got one of the necklaces out of my jewelry box and was playing with it for about fifteen minutes before I saw what she had! Really I was amazed it didn't break, but it really reinforced the quality craftsmanship that goes into each one of her designs. Her jewelry is great for everyday wear, but is versatile enough to wear with a dress and look stylish. Sarah is one of my favorite fashionistas, and if you haven't visited her website yet, you are missing out!!
Sarah's jewelry is so adorable! Its the perfect accessory to dress up an outfit - in fact it can often take center stage. I'm a big fan of the semi-precious stones which I find to be truly unique. I always get compliments when I wear her necklace! The best part is that the prices are very affordable, especially with such a high quality product. Sarah is just about everywhere in the city doing events and trunk shows, so check out her calendar of events.
Sarah and I have worked at events together, both selling our wares. I have a line of women's accessories, called She Complete. And Sarah has a beautiful collection of jewelry. Chic Gems is a gorgeous array of handmade jewelry. Sarah does innovative work in high quality stones. Her line is not to be missed.
I own several of Sarah's pieces, and I get a plethora of compliments on them! They really help pull an outfit together, and make me stand out from the crowd. Sarah is also wonderful to work with, offering to re-size pieces for me, and always coming up with new designs that I love. She's such a creative, inspiring, hardworking businesswoman! Thanks Sarah!
I just wanted to tell you—I am already wearing the sparkly necklace that I purchased yesterday with a black dress, and have received about 10 compliments from people at work. It’s a hit! Thanks again!

Sarah has a really fun line of jewelry that I affectionately call "rock rock". It is fun, flirty and chic. It will also leave room in the wallet to buy a French martini. I am so glad that David Sullivan introduced me to her.
Sarah is a highly motivated individual with a great sense of style. Her jewelry line is one of the most creative I have seen. She also has exceptional standards for quality and customer service. I look forward to seeing her line in stores across the country.

Sarah's dedication to detail and quality really show in her pieces. What you end up buying is a piece of artwork crafted from media of exotic stones and beading. I highly recommend a piece from Chic Gems, etc. to compliment an outfit for any occasion.

I recently purchased a necklace from Chic Gems. I was completely impressed with the design, style, quality and value of the necklace. I would highly recommend Chic Gems for any jewelry needs. I get tons of compliments and wear my cherry quartz necklace all the time.

Sarah volunteered her time to help Kid Power do a spa day for the families and staff at UIC hospital. During this spa event Sarah brought some of her Chic Gems etc. Jewelry to sell, and some of the proceeds where donated to the Kid Power Program. Kid Power would like to Thank Sarah for her contributions to the Kid Power Program.
I am proud to work with Sarah Radford and to see the great work she does in designing great jewelry. She has great attention to detail, and nothing is more important to her than providing quality products and excellent service to her customers. She has a great selection of jewelry and is always adding new and attractive pieces. I highly recommend that anyone interested in purchasing jewelry or adding a new product line to their retail store to visit www.chicgemsetc.com and see for themselves how great Chic Gems, etc is.
No outfit is complete without great accessories. Sarah's collection is both smart, fun, and chic!

Hey!
Okay, how much of a third grader am I? The minute I returned to my office, off came the fabulous pink quartz gems and on went the equally fab murano green glass set! Plus, I paired the bracelet with one of the pink quartz bracelets that I had had on, and bam! Instant Lilly Pulitzer with the pink and green! Crystal laughed at me when she saw me with my newest gems--I couldn't wait! She loves her new gems and wants to go with me the next time I attend one of your shows. I've clued her into your website, so we'll both watch for events that we can attend!
Thanks, again, for customizing a pair of earrings to make a set of the red gems--can't wait to wear them, too!

Sarah,
I got my bracelet last night, and I must say, it's beautiful! I love it so much! I have big plans for it!
Maybe one day I'll get back to Chicago and I'll be able to see your pieces in a real, live store. That would be awesome! I've been telling all my friends about your site, and my mother loves the pearls I bought her for Christmas. You have an amazing talent, Sarah. And I appreciate your art.

I bought one of Sarah's beautiful bracelets and matching necklaces in a store. Unfortunately one night the bracelet broke. Luckily I was able to find all of the beads. I went back to the store and they relayed the information to her. She called me two days later and agreed to fix the bracelet for free!!! Not only that, she also made some gorgeous earrings to match. Her pricing was so reasonable. I then met with her personally to pick up the items. She was very outgoing and pleasant. She showed me some of her other items, and even suggested more options for the future!!! I was extremely impressed!

Sarah's collection of Chic Gems has something for everyone. I get compliments every time I wear one of her creations. Sarah custom made necklaces to match the dresses of the bridal party in my son's wedding. Sarah has a unique artistic and creative ability that shows in her jewelry designs. I look forward to adding more pieces of her jewelry to my collection.
