​
The End of the Elgin Ornament Era… Since 1977, Shockey Jewelers has cherished the rich history of Elgin, Illinois. For the past 29 years, we have celebrated the city’s beautiful buildings and special events through our annual Christmas ornaments. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal customers, near and far, who have appreciated and collected each piece in the series. This year, we are honored to present the final 30th edition — featuring Shockey Jewelers itself in 2025.

Over the years, this unique collection has grown to include 32 ornaments in total. Most are still available, though some are in limited supply. You can view the entire collection in-store or below. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Elgin history!

The 2025 ornament, “Shockey Jewelers,” is now in stock, and the cost will remain $28.95.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support of our multi-generational family business. It is our privilege to serve you with personal attention, quality merchandise and craftsmanship. We look forward to maintaining the lasting relationships that we have proudly developed since our opening decades ago.
​
Wishing you a blessed holiday season — and a very Merry Christmas!
