Chinawest Jewelers — Local services in Lake Geneva

I’ve been a loyal customer of China West Gems for over 40 years, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience. My first visit was at 11 years old, and it was truly incredible. Paul and Kathy Yih took the time to teach me about gemstones and jewelry, sparking a passion that has lasted a lifetime. Over the years, I’ve learned so much from them about gems, design, and the artistry behind each piece.

Fast forward four decades and my family continues to visit regularly for purchases, custom designs, and redesigns of existing pieces. Whether it’s a custom design already on display or a new piece crafted from their vast selection of gemstones, we’ve never been disappointed. Every experience is just as wonderful as that first visit.

In recent years, I’ve worked mostly with Kathy, and she’s a true professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled. Every piece she helps design turns out spectacular. I’ve recommended China West Gems without hesitation to friends and family, for engagement rings, colored gemstones, diamonds, and gifts. They too have been equally impressed with the quality and service.

In a world full of disposable items and questionable quality, China West Gems stands apart. Their heirloom-quality jewelry, warm and friendly service, and genuine, untreated gems are worth every penny, no matter what your budget. If you’re looking for a trusted jeweler who can work with your precious, sentimental pieces, I wholeheartedly recommend China West Gems. You won’t be...

The Yih's worked very closely with my husband to customize the most beautifully unique wedding ring. My husband and I had a vision, and China West exceeded our expectations by creating a timeless, delicately crafted ring that has received endless compliments. They take your ideas and individual taste into consideration, while also giving professional input and recommendations for the perfect touches. China West stands behind their products, have fantastic follow through, and always make costumers feel welcomed. We love China West not only for their beautiful jewels and gems- but for their welcoming atmosphere! They even go above and beyond to make you feel like family! I hope my husband goes back to China West for my birthday that's just around the corner...

I grew up in Lake Geneva, and my family has been customers of China West my entire life. Paul and Kathy at their core are quality people, and that carries over to their business and their jewelry. I have bought diamond earrings, pearls, sapphires, amethysts, and more silver jewelry than one should own. Every piece is beautiful and well made. They have done simple silver repairs, and reset my center diamond in my wedding ring. Nothing beats their Lake Geneva collection. It is simple and classy, and something that a local, summer resident, or visitor can appreciate. I wouldn't consider buying jewelry from anyone...
