Services



Scope of Products: I have had accounts with wholesalers of fine jewelry for many years and offer a broad range of items with highly competative pricing due to a business model that reduces overhead. I am a metal smith, designing and making items with metals, gems, pearls, and natural stones.  

Metals:  Gold, silver, platinum, modern metals such as titanum as well as mixed metals. 

Gem Stones:  I sell and work with precious and semi-precious gems from alexandrites to zercon, and everything in between, including diamonds. Plus pearls and natural stones.

Custom Design: Consultation and design are enthusiastically offered.

The Business model: I have no store front and keep a small inventory (no gems) preferring to respond accurately and control costs by understanding a customer’s wishes and ordering on demand.  Most often customers contact me with a wish. I will spend as much time as is needed to meet my customer’s design vision. At times I call on my network of artist cohorts to serve my client. Whatever the path, I work with my clients until they are satisfied. If you have a jewelry desire or would like to see more of what I have to offer, visit one of my shows or contact me to schedule an appointment at ljoehlke@gmail.com.

Buy Back of Gold and Silver

I buy back gold and silver at very good prices. While I will remove stones for you, I do not buy diamonds or other stones.


Wedding & Engagement Rings


Engagement and wedding rings are two of the most important pieces of fine jewelry in most people’s lives. They represent deep sentiments and commitments. They also represent a  huge financial investment into a commodity most people know little about–gems stones, chiefly diamonds. I work hard to find the highest quality fitting within my customer’s budget and I teach enabling them to make informed decisions. You will learn about carat, color, clarity and the all important cut.  The diamonds I sell are not “blood” diamonds and are certified–diamonds which, like puppies,   come with papers that certify the stone’s qualities.

Contact me to schedule a time to talk about finding or creating your perfect wedding or engagement ring.


Repair & Custom Redesign


Do you have a piece of jewelry, perhaps a family heriloom, that you can’t or don’t wear anymore? 

  • You prefer a different type of jewelry, like a pendant instead of a ring
  • It’s not the right size like a ring that doesn’t fit or a necklace that is too long or too short.
  • The style doesn’t work. Maybe a bracelet that is dated or a necklace that calls for a gem stone.

 Many repairs or adjustments are possible including replacing small stones, fixing bent pieces and polishing out scratches.  If you have a piece of jewelry that needs new life, contact me and lets talk about your options.
