RACHEL BROWNING is the President of Browning & Sons Fine Jewelry in the heart of Hinsdale, a bespoke business that offers a selection of fine jewelry including in-house one-of-a-kind custom pieces, custom collections exclusive to the brand, and the redesign and repurpose of client pieces. Rachel developed her love for jewelry as a child, when she delighted in the piles of fashion costume jewelry her neighbors dropped off in paper bags. Today, she is excited to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Browning & Sons Fine Jewelry.

What is your business style?

In honor of our 35th year in Hinsdale, we decided to completely transform our space for our customers. Our new interior design complements our continuous fresh, yet classic style —the same approach we take while collecting and curating our pieces for clients across the board. Our welcoming design promotes an environment when friends and clients can come and stay as long as they’d like, shop, and visit with each other. Our passion is in the design of true jewelry pieces in the quality that we believe precious metals and stones should be represented. We believe our clients keep coming back as a result of our time in the community, the proven quality and selection of our pieces, and of course, our exceptional client services.

What organizations do you enjoy contributing to?

We strongly believe in our neighborhood and as consumers ourselves, we shop all local businesses. That thought also goes into supporting local schools, fundraisers, and organizations like Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club, among others.

The best part of being an entrepreneur?

It’s never over!
