Amigos & Us is a quirky and intriguing store full of interesting gifts and clothing items. The store has a Bohemian flare to it, with merchandise including handmade tie-dyes and hand-blown glass as well as other art and clothing.
As the story goes, Brian Long began making jewelry for his sweetheart, Julianne, in his Senior art class at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After graduating in 1997, Brian started Long & Co. Jewelers as a Barrington home-based business. The retirement of a Barrington jeweler in 2005 allowed Brian to fulfill his lifelong goal of owning a storefront. Today, Long & Co. Jewelers has grown into a full-service jewelry store. They are Barrington's exclusive dealer of Waterford crystal. Long's enthusiasm for the community also shows in his frequent contributions to local charities and various store donations.
The "diamond and gold people" at Exquisite Jewelers offer a wide range of platinum, gold and silver jewelry and gifts. Located in Deer Grove Crossing, the shop employs a professional and knowledgeable staff who will help customers find the right gift for a special someone on any occasion.
