Richard Marx is a Chicago native who, at the age of five, began singing US advertising jingles that were written by his father. Years later, he began singing back-up for Lionel Richie, and not long after, he ventured out on a solo career of his own. In June 1987, Richard released his hit self-titled debut album. The album spawned four smash hit singles, including 'Don't Mean Nothing,' 'Should've Known Better,' 'Endless Summer Nights,' and 'Hold On To The Nights.' 'Hold On To The Nights' was Richard's first #1 hit and it was followed by two more #1 hits, 'Satisfied' and 'Right Here Waiting.' In the past 13 years, Richard Marx has sold millions of albums, five studio albums and a greatest hits collection. Currently, Richard is working on a new album due out sometime in late spring or early summer. Recently, he has collaborated with many other artists, including opera singer Sarah Brightman, Barbara Streisand and Vince Gill, 'N Sync, and country stars Shedaisy and Shane Minor.

His store is located in the Paddock Shopping Center on the corner of Algonquin and Golf Roads in Rolling Meadows. "I've been challenged to create some unique pieces for customers as well as for other jewelers," says Scherer. "For a streets and sanitation worker I put together a special ring with a manhole cover and a little rat that pops out. On the other end of the spectrum, I restored a delicate, rare Tiffany barrette. Scherer has 6 tips he gives to get complete satisfaction: 1. Shop around for a jeweler. 2. Ask to see the jeweler's "book." 3. Communicate your thoughts to the jeweler regarding the piece. 4. Know your budget. 5. Good jewelers get the customer involved in the process of creation. 6. Plan in advance.
