The Gold Smith

The Goldsmith has an astounding range of designs and styles, from diamond, pearl or ruby necklaces to pins to rival Madeleine Albright's collection, to the most diverse colored stone ring collection in Chicago. At the helm is award-winner Sherry Bender, who has been involved in the business for over 30 years, having succeeded the legendary and innovative Don Lawrence, the original owner. The Goldsmith is not just another retail jewelry store; it is a custom shop where designers and artisans create intricate pieces born of the imaginations of Bender and her clients. Ranging in style from traditional to modern, from simply elegant to wild, from whimsical to dramatic and all points in between, every piece is personal to the customer for whom it is made.
