Lustig Jewelers

What Lustig Jewelers does

Lustig Jewelers is a privately-held, family-owned retail jewelry store founded in 1949 by Ted Lustig and currently led by Dan Lustig. Operating from a single showroom at 281 W. Townline Road in the Aspen Pointe Shopping Center, Vernon Hills, Illinois, the company serves the greater Chicagoland area with a team of fewer than ten staff including on-premise master bench jeweler Roman and long-tenured employees Dan and Jill. The business offers a full-service jewelry proposition spanning custom design, bridal and wedding jewelry, fine and fashion jewelry, colored stones, pearls, sterling silver, lab grown diamonds, designer brands, and supporting services such as on-site repairs, engraving, and financing.

The core product engine is custom jewelry design: customers collaborate with the in-house designer using 3D CAD visualization and on-premise casting and wax model production, with an online 3D Custom Ring Builder tool extending the design process into customers' homes before showroom finalization. Distribution centers on the physical showroom complemented by an e-commerce storefront, gift card program, multi-channel financing (Jewelers Reserve and Synchrony Bank, 6-18 month deferred payment), interest-free layaway up to six months, and exclusive regional purveyor status for nine designer brands including Carizza, Naledi Bridal, MaloBands, Malo Creations, Sophia By Design, Love Story, MaeVona, Meteor Cut Diamonds, and Promezza. The company also markets a specialty Superfit Adjustable Ring Shanks service for arthritic-joint customers starting at $1,500 in 14k gold.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The business generates income primarily through one-time retail jewelry sales across a price range from $82.50 (sterling silver) to $3,599+ (fine bridal pieces), supplemented by professional services revenue from custom design, jewelry repair, engraving, and specialty shank installation. Customer segments are diversified across bridal and wedding buyers, fashion jewelry enthusiasts, custom jewelry buyers, male customers seeking alternative-metal bands, and gift purchasers. The company has no external investors, no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding history, with multi-year Angie's List Super Service Awards (2013-2016) serving as the primary third-party validation of service quality.
