The moment it comes home.
Every review below is from a real client of the studio. Most describe the same thing: a conversation with Andrea that ended in a piece nobody else has.
Alexa absolutely loved the ring and we are very excited - Thank you again for your help with the design. The ring was beyond her expectations and many have been impressed with the creative style!

She said yes!! Thanks again for all your help, Andrea! Anna is obsessed with the ring (so am I).
John P. · Custom engagement ring
I have worked with Andrea of Judith Ansteth Jewelers in Chicago for many years now. She helped design my engagement ring and wedding band with my now husband. They turned out perfect! She took great care to ensure the pave in my engagement ring would not be harmed by the wedding band. My entire set is also lab diamonds and 18k white gold like I wanted! She also custom designed a necklace I wanted for the wedding that I can wear all the time out of sterling silver and CZ's. She is kind, affordable for fine jewelry, and so easy to work with! I highly recommend her!
Amanda Vlcek · Bridal set and wedding jewelry
Andrea was phenomenal to work with. I brought in a picture of my dream ring and she showed us multiple options based on our budget and my dream design. Her diamond collection is breathtaking. You can not go wrong with what Judith Ansteth Jewlers has to offer. Thank you again Andrea for making my engagement ring so special. Anyone who is looking for a unique/custom ring, I can confidently say you can trust Andrea 100% with designing and crafting your ring. She killed it! :)
Meghan Haggerty · Custom engagement ring
We have had the pleasure of working with Andrea over the years and recently met with her to redesign my engagement ring. She has a way of making the whole process smooth and fun. I absolutely love how the existing stone looks in the new setting and find myself looking at my left hand all the time as if I was just engaged. She listens to her clients ideas and offers interesting and helpful solutions. I highly recommend working with her for your special pieces.
Jean Patrick · Engagement ring redesign
Thank you for your exceptional work designing Anne's engagement ring. I'm overjoyed to tell you that Anne and I are officially engaged! The moment she saw the ring, her reaction was everything I could have hoped for—her eyes welled up with tears of happiness, and her smile was radiant. I know how meticulous you were throughout the entire design process, ensuring every detail was perfect, and it truly paid off. Thank you for your artistry and for helping me give Anne the ring of her dreams.
Eric B. · Custom engagement ring
I received the ring on 7/1/25 and it was even better than I imagined! Your design sense is impeccable. I can't wait to add onto it if my family expands in a few years.
Mia G. · Custom design
Both Judy and her daughter, Andrea, at Judith L. Ansteth Jewelers, are fantastic! Totally honest, great eye for the best value for the money, dependable and fun to be around. If you are looking for a special gift for that significant other, look no further than JLA Jewelers. You will not be disappointed.
Timothy V. · A returning client
Andrea at Judith L Ansteth Jewelers is amazing! My husband and I were referred to her by my sister. Andrea worked with my husband to custom design my engagement ring and wedding bands. Andrea provided my husband with images of the design prior to beginning the process, then provided images for me to see post engagement of the computer renderings, the wax molds used, etc. I also got my husband's wedding band through Andrea, and she has now become our jeweler ever since. I highly highly recommend her services. She is patient, knowledgeable, and is very accessible if we want to stop in.
Kat J. · Custom design consultation
Andrea is absolutely amazing! I spent one week going to over 100 jewelers in and around the Chicagoland area, trying to find someone who could make a custom design that I had in mind for an engagement ring, and only Andrea was able to come up with the exact design, provide me with a ton of incredible stone choices, educated me along the way, and had the ring done a whole month before its deadline. She was so incredible sweet and helpful throughout the entire process.
V.A. R. · Custom design consultation
My proposal to Sarah went very well and she loves, loves, loves the ring! It really is stunning and I’m so happy and fortunate to have been introduced to you. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Scott S. · Custom design consultation
My fiance and I were on a LONG and tedious search for a beautiful sapphire we wanted to use for our engagement ring. Andrea was amazing and helped us find the most beautiful stone. She was very helpful in helping us formulate the design of the ring from start to finish and incredibly professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her and this company for anything jewelery related.
