Where to begin. I've grown up going to Kevin's shop; my mom is nerdy about gemstones, and I can recall being a child looking through his cases picking rings my sister and I thought were the most beautiful while listening to them talk about hessonite garnets, tourmalines, inclusions in this stone or that or how to set an off color diamond with colored stones to show off it's brilliance. Kevin loves to share his knowledge when he's not busy creating custom pieces, sizing bands, repairing precious heirlooms or replacing watch batteries. My family has come to this shop for all of these services, the quality is second to no one.
When it came time for my engagement ring/wedding band/my husband's wedding band, there was no question where he needed to go. He asked me again and again, "I have to go to Stockton? There's no other jeweler that has what you want?" My answer was a firm "No". Not only does Kevin have pieces for everyday, he has unique pieces that are heirloom quality for generations to come. Erica, Brittany, and Bella are such a help in finding pieces that are on trend yet timeless.
I'm proud to say that on my wedding day, my necklace and rings, all were from Kevin Schimke's. Even my husband's wedding band we purchased here - my husband had NO idea what he wanted, and after describing things he liked and didn't, Kevin took a minute to think, said, I'll be right back and came back with a band that suited my husband perfectly. Now THAT'S expertise.
A bonus to all of their professional qualities and skills? A family business, sweet as can be, whose only wish is provide you with jewelry that lasts for a...
Read moreMy husband and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary. For my gift, my husband wanted to give me a new ring. He went into a couple of jewelry stores, and made several phone calls-Schimke Jewelers being one of them. My husband tried explaining what he was looking for, and no one really understood, until he spoke with Brittney. Brittney went above and beyond. She knew exactly what my husband was looking for. When my husband called me he told me how he felt Brittney really understood him. She was able to find the perfect diamond and we went into the store to pick a setting. Brittney really made the whole experience so exciting. Kevin did an amazing job on my ring. I couldn't be happier. I wish I would have known about Kevin Schimke Jewelers sooner. They are a wonderful business. I...
Read moreSo I have never been much of a jewelry person, but once I heard of Kevin Schimke's jewelry store I was intrigued to check them out. Their customer service is great and the quality of jewelry is fantastic. I am 31 and bought my very 1st piece of jewelry from them. I am very simple and don't like to have too flashy of items and they were so helpful in that. I once lost my diamond earring that I received as a gift from somewhere else and Kevin and his team were able to replicate the exact one. I was so excited because I wasn't sure they could do that for me. Overall, I am a customer for life with them. Be sure to check them out! They have a great variety and awesome sale once a year that you...
