Full jewelry services for Golden Valley residents, all completed by our in-house team.
Custom Engagement Rings
Design a ring that's uniquely yours. We guide you through diamond selection, setting styles, and metal options, then bring your vision to life using a combination of hand craftsmanship and modern CAD technology. Every custom ring is made to fit your lifestyle, preferences, and budget.
Custom Jewelry Design
Whether you're creating something new or reimagining an heirloom piece, our design process starts with understanding your vision. We work with you through sketches, CAD renderings, and material selection to ensure the finished piece exceeds expectations.
Diamond Jewelry
Explore our selection of diamond necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and loose diamonds. We take time to explain the 4Cs and help you understand what makes each stone unique, so you can choose with confidence. Both natural and lab-grown diamonds are available.
Jewelry Repair
Ring resizing, prong retipping, stone replacement, chain repair, and full restorations are completed in our workshop. Having our own craftspeople means faster turnaround and direct communication about your piece throughout the repair process.
Watch Repair
From battery replacements to full movement overhauls, we service a wide range of timepieces. Our watchmakers handle everything from everyday watches to luxury brands, with honest assessments of what your watch needs.
Jewelry Appraisals
Professional appraisals for insurance documentation, estate purposes, or personal knowledge. We provide detailed written appraisals that accurately reflect current market values, giving you the documentation you need for proper coverage.
Gold Buying
Looking to sell gold jewelry or scrap gold? We offer fair, market-based prices and explain exactly how we determine value. There's no obligation to sell, and we're happy to answer questions about the process.








What to Expect
130 Years in Business
Five generations of the Johantgen family have built relationships with customers who return for engagement rings, anniversary gifts, repairs, and eventually their children's milestones. That continuity means institutional knowledge that serves you better.
In-House Craftsmanship
All custom work and repairs are completed by our own craftspeople in our on-site workshop. This gives us direct control over quality and allows for better communication throughout your project.
Education-First Approach
We believe informed customers make better decisions. Whether you're learning about diamond quality, understanding the difference between gold alloys, or comparing natural and lab-grown stones, we take time to explain your options clearly.
Transparent Pricing
We explain how jewelry is priced, what affects value, and what you're paying for. No pressure, no gimmicks. Just honest guidance to help you find what fits your needs and budget.
Quality Built to Last
We focus on jewelry designed for daily wear and lifelong durability. Solid construction, proper settings, and quality materials mean pieces that can be worn, enjoyed, and eventually passed down.
