Since 1950 we have been providing quality service, prices and commitment to our valued customers. Martin & Martin Inc began as a small retail operation in the family basement in Oak Lawn, Illinois. In 1976 we opened our brick and mortar storefront, located just minutes from where our inception occurred. Today we have three generations of family working, and are a global company that deals directly with suppliers in Israel, Hong Kong, Italy, Belgium and Australia. For the past two generations we have worked very closely with two diamond cutting families in Israel. By keeping our relationships so close knit, we are able to acquire the best prices in the industry and we then pass them on to our clients. Since we opened our doors in 1976 we have been known as the place to go for the ultimate in quality merchandise at the best price around. Quality product. Staff knows their stuff. Discounts are offered by owner. This should be your first and only destination for diamonds. It took me a while to choose a diamond and never once did I feel like they wanted me to make a quick decision. Marge and Dawn are wonderful to work with! I had definitely done my homework while pricing stones online, and found that Martin and Martin beat all online prices by far. Great experience for me, and a great store. Highly recommended!!!! My fiance bought my engagement ring from Martin & Martin it is beautiful!! I get so many compliments. The diamond is far superior to anything we had previously looked at for a similar price. I am so happy with my ring and will make all of my jewelry purchases at Martin & Martin.
