Today we’d like to introduce you to Denise Oros.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Denise. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
At jewelry school I found out I had magic hands, creative original thought and an out of the box attitude for problem solving. Raised in a business family it was only natural I started my own….that was 38 years ago. I am a known as a creative visionary and more often a diamond whisperer. A Master Goldsmith who possesses an extraordinary skill set complimented by a unique talent that is refined from 38 years of bench experience in creating custom fine jewelry. This is exemplified when I present multiple options tailored to a client’s exact tastes. I love being fearless about getting into their style….for every “no” that I might get, it steers me automatically closer to “YES”, as in “yes, that is exactly what I want!” Perfect!
Customers constantly comment on the fact that I LISTENED to what they wanted and rendered a handmade, custom piece just as they had imagined. Possessing an innate ability to finesse preexisting diamonds into new designs or traveling to procure the perfect stones required to craft a personalized, one of a kind vision – it is my intuitive magic that impresses clients. I am deeply honored when those pieces create valuable customer recommendations. Being a professional designing goldsmith is a blessing because this is my PASSION, to create custom fine jewelry, from concept to completion for nearly 40 years!
It’s that sharp intake of breath, that joyful exhale of “Oh My God, I Love It!” along with those twinkling eyes and a megawatt smile when a client first lays eyes on their finished piece, it is the ambrosia for my muses’ soul! I love, love, LOVE this business.
Has it been a smooth road?
All businesses are fraught with challenges. Knowing your business, having capital, managing or being manageable, the legal issues and human relations, all of these factors take skill (innate or earned) and if you need advice – ask for it. Being aware of your limitations and recognizing your strengths can make or break your business. Find educational support with business groups or reach out to other entrepreneurs who will help you navigate your road to success. I did it, you can too!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Linnea Jewelers Inc – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
What sets us apart? Hands down, our professionalism- we know fine jewelry from concept to creation and the added bonus, we know style! We listen, we engage and my staff is honored to share in the most intimate of life’s moments: births, birthdays, graduations, engagements, weddings, anniversaries, milestones and even deaths. At Linnea’s we advise many customers about what to do with lazy jewelry. This often results in the opportunity to create custom pieces that are part of a legacy that celebrates these cherished memories. Personal integrity from my most junior employee to my senior manager, it shows every day, in every way. I am so lucky to truly love what I do!
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I love LaGrange! A great western suburb that has a walkable downtown attracts tons of people because it is loaded with fantastic, unique retail shops and AHHHmazing eateries. You are just a train stop away from your next great find!
