REDEFINING LUXURY 

Razny Jewelers has been the leading family-owned and operated source for loose diamonds, bespoke jewelry, and Swiss timepieces in the greater Chicago area for more than 70 years. Today, INGRID RAZNY and CHRISTINE RAZNY-PORTER—along with Ingrid’s husband, Stan, and their sons, Michael and Eric—continue that proud family legacy.

What excites you most about the future of your jewelry industry? Razny is expanding its collections to accommodate every budget, while offering customization options that allow each piece to reflect the wearer’s personality and style. Jewelry marks life’s milestones, from engagements to anniversaries, as well as the moments in between, becoming an integral part of one’s story. Many of these pieces are passed on as heirlooms, connecting generations through beauty and history.

What conversations are you passionate about bringing to the table? Why natural diamonds matter and clearing up misconceptions about lab-grown diamonds. Beyond their brilliance, natural diamonds carry a story of rarity, exclusivity, and responsible sourcing. For example, we work directly with trusted partners in Africa—utilizing alluvial mining, a sustainable method that supports local communities and minimizes heavy excavation. Lab-grown production relies on non-renewable energy sources, and can damage the environment. Every Razny diamond is hand-selected for its proportions and brilliance, not just its carat weight, ensuring lasting beauty and value.

What’s a trend you’re embracing—or challenging? We’re redefining luxury service by giving our clients more than they expect, exceeding their expectations and creating moments that surprise and delight. We’re focused on thoughtful details, personalized touches, and unexpected gestures. We view every interaction as an opportunity to transform an ordinary visit into an extraordinary one, deepening relationships and continually raising the standard of service at Razny Jewelers.
