Our services cover the full range of jewelry needs, from new custom pieces to restoring what you already own. Every job gets the same level of care and attention.
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.

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 Sets Us Apart
130 Years of Family Ownership
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
Nearly all of our custom work and repairs are done by our own craftspeople in our workshop, not shipped long distances to corporate workshops across the country. This gives us direct control over quality and allows for quicker turnaround as well as 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.
Questions from Maple Grove Customers
How long is the drive from Maple Grove?
About 10 minutes. Take Highway 169 South or County Road 81 toward Crystal. We have free parking right in front.
What's the timeline for a custom ring?
Plan on 4-6 weeks from first consultation to finished ring. If you have a specific deadline, let us know and we'll tell you if we can meet it.
Can I see lab-grown and natural diamonds side by side?
Yes. We carry both and can show you the differences in person. We'll explain the pros and cons of each so you can make your own choice.
How fast can you do repairs?
Some simple repairs can be completed in a few days to a week. Larger jobs may need 1-2 weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
What's involved in an appraisal?
Bring the piece in and we'll examine it, take measurements, assess quality, and provide a written document with the current market value. Useful for insurance or estate planning.
How does gold buying work?
We weigh your items, calculate the scrap value, and make an offer. You can accept, decline, or think it over. If additional testing is needed to verify your items, we let you know that, too.
