Beverley R

Beverley R is an intimate, single-owner antique jewelry boutique located next to the Drake Hotel on Chicago's Magnificent Mile. Headed by gemologist Stephen Forward and art era expert Beverly Forward, the shop specializes in fine period jewelry from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco eras. With hundreds of individually selected, authentic pieces in stock—including bold Victorian gold necklaces, Georgian muff chains, and unique antique engagement rings—customers are seated at an antique desk while jewelry is presented with detailed historical context. The shop emphasizes investment-grade pieces that appreciate over time, offering wearable, one-of-a-kind jewelry with exceptional craftsmanship and no reproductions.
