At the heart of M. Martin & Co.’s enduring success is our owner, Stan Perkins. As a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) with diplomas in Diamond Grading and Colored Stone Grading and Identification, Stan brings an extraordinary level of expertise to every interaction. He personally selects every diamond sold, considering only a small percentage of all inspected diamonds. This rigorous selection process ensures that M. Martin & Co. carries diamonds of the finest cut and polish, including those displaying the desirable “hearts and arrows” faceting pattern. All certified diamonds are even re-graded for accuracy by our expert staff.

One of the most significant advantages of choosing M. Martin & Co. is the guarantee that you will meet only with a GIA Graduate Gemologist – a rare offering on Jewelers Row. This one-on-one, private consultation model, conducted in a comfortable office environment by appointment only, allows for a truly personalized diamond buying experience. Customers consistently praise Stan’s ability to simplify the shopping process, patiently explain different cuts and settings, and educate them to make informed decisions without any pressure to upsell.

“I chose to come to M. Martin for wedding bands because this is where my parents purchased their wedding rings almost 30 years ago. It turned out perfectly! My fiance was able to pick out the perfect ring for himself too. I could not recommend M. Martin more!”

M. Martin & Co. offers a comprehensive range of jewelry. While we specialize in diamond engagement rings and wedding bands, boasting over 400 rings and mountings in stock for you to try on, we also carry a wide variety of fine jewelry, including cultured pearls, bracelets, pendants, and earrings (with the exception of watches). Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities mean we can offer a wide range of diamond grades and prices to suit various budgets. We excel in custom design, where we restyle old jewelry into new, modern pieces or even reproduce an item from any picture or sketch.

Our customers frequently highlight the our exceptional value. By operating a low-overhead “upstairs” store, we are able to offer wholesale pricing to the public on quality jewelry, providing better prices and superior diamonds compared to what you might find online. Our company’s long-standing reputation, now serving fourth-generation customers, speaks volumes about our commitment to quality and service. Our welcoming, professional atmosphere, which is LGBTQ+ friendly, ensures all customers feel supported and respected.

For an unparalleled jewelry buying experience rooted in expertise, trust, and exceptional value, M. Martin & Co. Jewelers stands as the premier choice on Chicago’s Jewelers Row. Make an appointment with us today.
