For over half a century, Lilliane’s Jewelry of Leawood has been attentive, authentic and wildly passionate about its business and customers. And by offering its vast collection of over 3,000 exquisite creations at 50% off and more, it’s no wonder “I love you, Lilliane!” has become one of the most memorable jewelry phrases in Kansas City.
The Story of Ms. Lilliane
Over 55 years ago, Abe and Lilliane Chaitman opened what has become one of Kansas City’s oldest and most trusted family-owned jewelers.
“Early on, my parents started going to antique shows; really starting from scratch,” says Jerry Chaitman who, along with his wife, Diane, (current co-owners), joined the family business alongside his brother, Martin, in 1969.
From Miami to Detroit to the Carolinas and beyond, they took part in exclusive antique and vintage jewelry shows, which put them on the map with jewelry lovers from coast to coast.
As Abe grew the business, the often-quoted Lilliane developed a reputation for her straight talk.
“My mother always said, ‘Life is too short to wear ordinary jewelry,’” says Jerry. “That’s been our motto. We want Lilliane’s to be a truly unique, remarkable shopping experience. You’ll find things you won’t see anywhere else. Not even close.”
Four generations of family-run success later, the extraordinary collection of over 3,000 preowned contemporary, estate, antique, and custom jewelry creations at Lilliane’s Jewelry is unparalleled.
Truly Unique Offerings
The first thing you’ll notice when walking into Lilliane’s pristine showroom is the sheer quality and volume of stunning jewelry.
“We have customers tell us again and again how every visit is a visual adventure,” says Jerry. “And when it comes to holiday gift-giving, they know they are giving something truly unique. Something that will become part of their family story. That’s exactly what Lilliane intended.”
A quick glance around the store, and it’s easy to see Lilliane’s means business. Remarkable rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, broaches—all gleaming under the lights and all priced more than 50% off retail for the holidays!
Take-to-the-Bank Value
At Lilliane’s, you’ll not only discover truly unique creations, but also remarkable savings. Unlike malls and mass retailers, Lilliane’s Jewelry offers 50% off and more from traditional retail prices.
“While there are many advantages to shopping at Lilliane’s, the biggest one, by far, is value,” says Jerry.
By keeping overhead low and leveraging its longstanding relationships around the world, Lilliane’s is able to consistently offer amazing pricing to each and every customer. Lilliane's also offers professional appraisal services. Nearly anything you need when it comes to fine jewelry, Lilliane's has you covered.
Make Customers, Not Sales
Exceptional, attentive customer service has always been a hallmark for this family-owned establishment.
“We’re able to make business decisions that overwhelmingly favor our customers because we can. We own the business and work in our store every day of the week,” says Jerry. “We get to know people. We earn trust. We become friends. For us, it’s simply about living up to the high standards of business and personal integrity my parents instilled in us.”
Holiday Razzle and Dazzle
If jewelry is on your wishlist this holiday season (and even if it’s not), it’s time to stop by Lilliane’s. With a range of price points—from $100 to $100,000 and more—there’s something for everyone. And everyone is treated special because Lilliane and her now extended family are passionate about it. In the store's most anticipated event of the year, Lilliane’s is offering its entire collection, with very few exceptions, at the regular 50% off pricing plus an additional 20% off—and sales tax is included in the price. (Yes, during this sale, Lilliane’s pays it for you.) Holiday gift-giving just got even more exciting.
As Lilliane loved to say, “There’s no such thing as too much holiday sparkle!”
Indeed, and that’s why we love you, Lilliane’s!
