There's a certain motivation that comes with the beginning of a new year. Take that drive and channel it toward taking care of your jewelry needs — & wants, too! Keep reading for a list of suggestions from Bay Area Diamond Company to welcome 2025 in style.
Have a piece of jewelry repaired:
Our in-house jewelers are incredible! Jenni M. & Joe K. have 60 years combined experience in jewelry repair. They can resize, refinish, and restore anything back to new (or better!) condition. Currently, our repairs take approximately 14 days to complete. This can fluctuate depending on the time of year. 
Get your jewelry appraised:
Knowing the value of your jewelry is important for many reasons. Twice monthly, we welcome Joel H. from Von Hasle Jewelers to perform appraisals of jewelry. Joel carefully examines each piece and provides an updated valuation and a detailed report of his findings.
Spring 2025 Appraisal Dates:
- January 6th & 20th
- February 3rd & 18th (this is a Tues.)
- March 3rd, 17th, 31st 
Get Permanent jewelry:
Permanent jewelry is a beautiful representation of a bond you cherish. Choose your favorite sterling silver or gold chain and have it soldered on your wrist/ankle to create a permanent piece. Chains range from $9-35 per inch and are typically 6-9 inches long. Bring your bestie, your mother, your lover, or yourself and get linked!
Sell your old pieces for cash:
We're always buying gold, diamonds (1 ct or larger), silver, & platinum. Bring in your unwanted, unworn, even broken jewelry pieces to BADC and make some CA$H. If you choose to sell your items for in-store credit, we’ll give you 1.5x the value!
Get a laser engraving:
Whether it's a brand new piece or a cherished heirloom, we can add a laser engraving to make it even more special. Our laser engraver (located at our Mundelein location) has capabilities to engrave 100+ fonts, handwriting, logos, simple images, fingerprints, & more. Pieces from our GB location can be shipped to Mundelein and returned in 7-10 days time. 
Fix up your wristwatch:
Our associates can efficiently change watch batteries and add or remove links from your wristwatch. Both these services are available upon walking in (no appointment required!) and only take a few moments to complete. If you're in the market for a new watch, we can help you there, too.
Drop a hint / create a wish list:
Dropping a hint and/or creating a wishlist are super helpful in the event someone special stops in to shop for you. Hints/wishlists can be created in-store while browsing with your favorite associate, or online on our website! 
Earn money for referrals:
Stop in and grab a few referral cards to give to friends / family. When someone you referred brings their card back in and makes a purchase, you each earn $250 of in-store credit to spend! This is kept in our computer system and never expires. 
Shop for a beautiful ring:
Whether you're ready to say ‘Yes!’ to forever and start shopping for a diamond engagement ring, or you’re in the market for wedding bands, diamond fashion, or any other jewelry,... Bay Area Diamond Company is Undeniably the place to visit!
No matter what your jewlery needs (or wants!) are, Bay Area Diamond Company is looking forward to seeing you soon to 'ring' in the new year!
