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.

About Our Services
Established in 1896
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 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.
