Stevens Jewelers
Custom fine jewelry, designed, cut and made by hand in our Skokie studio. For more than 30 years, Steve and Kathy Saitelbach have created one-of-a-kind jewelry for clients who come to us by referral. Every piece begins with a private conversation, and every step happens under one roof: the stone, the design and the craftsmanship.
Custom Jewelry by Masters at Their Craft
Engagement rings, wedding bands, heirloom redesigns and one-of-a-kind pieces, each made for one person and one moment.
The S.L. Bach Position Cut®
The Position Cut is Steve’s own creation, cut for exceptional brilliance and fire.
Custom Design
From first sketch to detailed CAD rendering to the finished piece, Kathy and our design team guide every step.
Private Appointments
We meet privately, in our studio or by video, so you have our full attention and time to decide.
What Sets the S.L. Bach Position Cut® Apart
Every facet has a partner. In the S.L. Bach Position Cut®, each facet on the top of the stone is aligned with its counterpart below, meeting at a carefully faceted girdle. Working as one, they are designed to draw out the brilliance, fire and scintillation within the stone.
- Untreated: Every natural Position Cut diamond is guaranteed free of treatment, never chemically or physically altered to change its crystal or appearance.
- Documented: Each stone comes with its own Position Cut grading report, including advanced gemological orientation.
- Sizes: From 0.20 to 10 carats, in both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds.
- Shapes: Round, cushion, square, cut-cornered, oval, pear, emerald and marquise.
- Also cut in: fine colored gemstones such as sapphires and rubies, and fancy yellow diamonds.

How It Works
1. Consultation. We meet privately, in our studio or by video, to talk about your ideas, your budget and your timeline.
2. Design. Kathy and our design team develop sketches and detailed CAD renderings, and we refine them until the design is exactly right.
3. The stone. Steve selects your stone, often an S.L. Bach Position Cut®, and shows you options in person.
4. Crafting. Our bench jewelers set and finish every piece in house.
