The Secret Garden Collection

The designs in this Secret Garden are timeless reminders of nature’s hold over us and our comfort to feel the caress of the universe. The curvilinear lines of nature inspired this collection, and the connection to places of peace and tranquility gave it special meaning.

Our Custom Creations Make Unforgettable Stories

My sister and I have been customers of Christopher Duquet’s almost since he opened his doors in Evanston 20 years ago. I am always impressed with his gorgeous designs both contemporary and classic and the quality of his craftsmanship and customer service is unparalleled. Christopher always takes the time to listen to his clients and makes sure they are fully satisfied with their purchase. He is completely happy to collaborate on one-of-a-kind designs with input from the customer and is relentless in his pursuit of excellence. I can’t speak highly enough of Christopher and his entire staff. Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry is a class act in every way!

A coworker suggested that I go see Christopher Duquet, if only to learn a little more about the diamond-buying process. Six weeks later I gave my (now) fiancee a ring that is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Christopher exceeded any expectations I could have had for the perfect engagement ring.

I am completely thrilled with my engagement ring and our wedding bands! I admire the rings every day. My engagement ring is unique, with a beautiful vintage setting and the quality of the engraving is superb. Villy and Christopher provided the greatest consideration to our design, staying within our budget. They were so knowledgeable, talented, and professional. The process of the custom design, diamond choice, and fittings assured us and gave us complete satisfaction. The designs and gems throughout the store were exquisite. I hope to work together with them in the future to create more lovely jewelry for me!

I get complimented on the ring almost daily — it is perfectly unique and truly a work of art. Both my fiance and I couldn’t have been happier with our experience at Christopher Duquet.
