Great place! Lots of beautiful pieces for sale. Our family had a ring commissioned and they did a wonderful job. Very fairly priced as well.

I needed a helix ear piercing and tried google to get recommendations. Nothing great came up, so I went to Next Door. Thank goodness, as I would have otherwise missed this small business. Bob at Once in a Blue Moon was great! He got my piercing done quickly and correctly. I had wanted it a little higher and he told me the cons of piercing it too high. Once the earring was in, I loved it. He was correct. Going higher would have caused the earring to be covered by the fold of my ear, the post would have stuck out, etc. He knows what he is doing! And his price was very reasonable. Thanks Bob. I'll be back again.

I love once in a blue moon! I stopped in for my second time to get a gift for my mom. Bob has a great selection of unique, hand crafted jewelry. There is a piece for everyone. If you like subtle, he has simple but beautiful pieces or if you like bold and flashy, he has that too. There are many affordable pieces that are still special or more lavish pieces if you want to splurge. I highly recommend and will be back for a third visit soon! Also Bob is an interesting guy and is very invested in finding you something that fits your vision (he also makes a lot of his own stuff too, custom or otherwise). Go check this place out!

I have bought several unique pieces over the years for several friends. I usually don’t know what I want when I first walk in. Once I walk & look at bit I see the piece that will make them happy!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. My wife lost a name pendant years ago and Bob (the owner) was able to make one "close enough" (exact would have run well over $2,000). At his suggestion, despite me wanting it to be a surprise anniversary gift, I brought my wife in to help get it to her liking. GREAT suggestion (sort of). Although she loves the piece, she then wanted another necklace as well as falling in love with a few other sets of ear rings (in addition to the set she loves that I got on my first trip in). Bob is good at spending his customer's money :) haha. He is great to work with and has a lot of unique items. HIGHLY recommended.

Bob was great! My fiancé and I went in for 2 ring resizings, one was Sterling silver (downsize) and the other was white gold (upsize). The gold ring, although it had a plethora of diamonds on it, it was resized within a week. The intricate ring was also dirty and Bob got it cleaned up and looking brand new for us too. We did have a bit of trouble with the fit of the silver band, however, Bob was able to get it for us in a timely manner at a beautiful fit. I would highly recommend Once in a Blue Moon to anyone looking for any type wiof adjustments with their jewelry. Thank you Bob!

Bob Moon has been my go to jeweler, artist, and friend for 40 years (cringe!). He has brought to life many of my jewelry dreams !! I can spend hours in his store admiring his works and the works of the many artists he has represented. Don't miss visiting this “gem†!!

Knowledgeable, and very personable. Bob is my go-to guy for custom jewelry and repair. Everyone I have recommended him to have been very happy, too.

Bob Moon is friendly and knowledgeable. Unique designs and great assistance in helping me convert unwearable earrings so I could wear them. An enjoyable experienced. Don't forget about Once in a Blue Moon in the Ice House Mall in Barrington

A trip to Bob's store is an experience in itself. Besides being a wonderful and highly inventive designer, Bob treats every customer like a piece of gold and some of his works are truly beyond this world and over the moon. He's a bright star!

Bob Moon is an amazing artist and person, and he absolutely loves what he does. Once In a Blue Moon is a hidden gem. All my signature pieces are from Bob's shop (including my wedding ring which he helped me design). It's always great to head to the Ice House for some chicken fingers from Chessies, and then go into Once in a Blue Moon to see Bob and his creations!
