Razny Jewelers is Chicago’s leading family-owned and operated source for loose diamonds, bespoke jewelry, and Swiss timepieces. We’ve spent over seventy years building a culture of five-star service and unmatched in-house custom creations by treating each client like a guest in our home, training the right people, and trusting the instincts of our artists.As ambassadors for the natural diamond industry, our family personally decided to visit our diamond source in Africa. One reason for this trip was to see for ourselves the impact our industry has on the lives of those in Namibia and South African communities. When we arrived, locals graciously allowed us into their lives, and we collected their words into our hearts. We visited youth groups in South Africa and met the children who look to these organizations for hot meals, before and after school programs, and coaching toward higher education. These children, in turn, fill their households with hope for a future without poverty. We visited the homes of the poorest among them and left with a renewed appreciation for conveniences such as plumbing, electricity, and fresh water.
