Thriving Second-Generation Woman-Owned Family Business in Orland Park

In 1979, Mari Lou embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, laying the foundation for a distinguished fine jewelry enterprise from the humble beginnings of a briefcase. This venture blossomed into a family-oriented business when her daughter, Diana, joined her in 1996. Together, they have fostered deep connections within the community, emphasizing personalized relationships and exceptional shopping experiences.

Diana reflects on the profound relationships they've nurtured over the years, "We've had the privilege of designing wedding rings for multiple generations within families, celebrating third-generation weddings. It's an honor that speaks volumes about our family business's impact."

Mari Lou's Fine Jewelry became a staple in Lakeview Plaza on 159th Street from 1990 to 2015, before relocating to Orland Park Crossing in 2016. Marking a significant milestone, Mari Lou recently entered retirement, leaving Diana poised to carry forward their legacy of bespoke design, sales, and service in the fine jewelry domain.

The pandemic era prompted a transformative phase for the business, steering it towards innovation and adaptation. A notable enhancement in their service offering is the introduction of online shopping. This allows customers to explore their jewelry collections digitally, with the convenience of choosing between store pickup or direct shipping.

Additionally, Mari Lou's has introduced Concierge Appointments, a service that promises an exclusive and personalized shopping experience for customers celebrating special moments. Interested parties are encouraged to connect with Diana's team via call or text at 708-403-2446, or to visit them in person at Orland Park Crossing, located at the corner of 143rd and LaGrange Road, for a VIP shopping experience tailored to their unique needs and occasions.
