We do special order work, restoration repair, and we'll buy your old gold - unless you want to use that gold in your next project. JWS was started in 1946 as a trade shop, originally located in downtown Grand Rapids in the Fox building on Monroe. Ron bought the business in 1979 and steered the business toward retail and design instead of tradework. In 1994 we moved to our current location on the NW side of Grand Rapids, where we have cultivated a customer base with an interest in unique jewelry.
We don’t often showcase custom work from other jewelers but when the right ring comes along, we do. This custom 14K wide gold band features heavy texturing throughout the center and very pretty ribboned edges. It’s the kind of piece that people notice even though it isn’t “loud”. Very cool and unique. And! It’s available in our showroom - come check it out!
Rule number one: we’re wearing color this summer, people! Time to brighten things up around here. 😎Need some bright new ear studs? We can help you with that!
Having a moment for these platinum diamond hoops today! They were a gift for a special customer, and their family tradition includes birthstones as part of this momentous gift. The blue topaz dangles were an important ingredient to this project, but also - they provided such a *wow* factor! The earrings can be worn with or without the blue topaz, which was our customer’s genius idea. What do you think - are they fabulous or are they fabulous?!
Are you familiar with boulder opal? Our customer had this ring with a damaged opal and she selected this dramatic boulder opal for its replacement. We love these stones for the unique contrast between the dark ironstone and the veins of bright blue and green opal. Boulder opals have a lot of character and interest and we can’t get enough of them! We hope our customer feels the same.
Sometimes custom work is modeled after an existing ring (see our last post) and sometimes it comes about because you have diamonds or other stones in specific sizes and shapes. The more specific you get with your likes/dislikes, your supplies, your constraints, etc, the more likely it is that a jewelry manufacturer hasn’t already made the design you envision. Custom work opens up a world of possibilities! This 3-Diamond pendant is a piece we made using our customer’s diamonds, in a nice classic style. You can never go wrong with classic ✨
A while back, we shared an emerald and diamond ring here and it produced a flurry of attention. Several people were interested in the ring, and it sold pretty quickly. It left a mark - in a good way! We recently made a lookalike emerald diamond ring for a different customer who missed out on the first one. The downside of selling unique pieces is that there is usually just one of each. The upside? It’s us! We’ll make you another one, and this time you can select all of your own stones! ✨
What’s on your mind for Valentine’s Day gifts this year? From silver necklaces to diamond rings, we’ve got you covered!
We’re taking a close look at this custom Tanzanite and diamond pendant today! The incorporated bail, that intense color, the way it interacts with the light, it’s all so good! This one was made to order but we can make one for YOU next time.
Interest in engagement ring design can easily be split into two camps: those who choose symmetry in the ring and those who don’t. This couple took it a step further with a multi-stone approach! A cluster of blue stones and white diamonds came together beautifully to create a truly unique ring. Don’t forget the hand-carved wedding band! So yeah, this isn’t going to be the image you save for symmetry. But you’d better believe it’ll be saved everywhere else!
Five-ish years ago a couple came in with an inherited diamond ring. They wanted to make an engagement ring using the inherited diamonds that more reflected their own style. And so this diamond engagement ring was born! ✨ Recently, they had us add the high polish gold wedding band that fits against it, the perfect complement to the glitz of the diamonds. The smooth gleam of the gold band keeps the focus on those sparkly diamonds, right where it belongs!
We haven’t been posting commissioned work as much lately, with the holidays and all, but fear not! We’ve been busy behind the scenes. How about this gorgeous two-tone diamond ring using our customer’s family diamonds? 🤩 We make it to fit your diamonds, so no to rings are ever exactly the same.
We simply cannot comprehend why this *stunning* green tourmaline and diamond pendant is still in our possession. Ladies and gentlemen, the time is NOW. Come see it and its matching ring in our showroom! ✨
Got any big plans for the new year? 💎 We can help with the sparkly ones!
The perfect alternative to a tennis bracelet, but still diamonds. Want to try it on? You can! You should. ✨
It’s an “old” favorite! Actually- the ring is new but it looks like an antique. We didn’t make this ring but we did alter the diamond setting to be the traditional hand set, bead setting (to look historically accurate)! We’ve been modifying this ring for years, and what it comes down to is the way that diamond is set. Now it’s lovely and timeless and available in our showroom ✨
Diamond bar necklaces - ready and waiting for those last minute shoppers 😉 you know we’ve got your back!
…Because who doesn’t love to have options? We have added to our diamond bar stud family! The pair on the left have been recent customer favorites, and now they’re available in a larger size too. Come see which ones you prefer! ✨
It’s always the right time of year to gift a custom rhodolite and diamond pendant. But like, it’s especially the right time now. It’s available in our showroom!

Greetings from Christmas 1896 🎄How about a little piece of history for the lady you know who has everything? She surely doesn’t have ✨this!✨
18K white gold with approx .60ct diamonds, a Euro shank, sure sure. All true. But this ring completely sells itself once you FEEL it on your skin. Listen, I can’t explain it. It’s a very nice ring that looks very nice and feels very nice too. Come try it on and you’ll understand! It’s available in our showroom… for now. 😉
Raise your hand if you want to take this lady out on the town this holiday season! … and the next, and the next… ✨ she’s available in our showroom, let us introduce you!
Are you familiar with star sapphire? Watch today’s reel to see this one in action! Some star sapphires are nicer than others, and this lavender six point star is Top Tier. Add the diamonds and the platinum setting and you’re looking at a real special ring! This is one you’ve gotta experience in person, folks. The purple is prettier in person. The platinum against your skin is buttery smooth. The diamonds are lively and bright. This ring is available in our showroom and it’s Suzanne’s pick for Christmas gift of the year! 🎁
Gifting season is upon us once again! What’s on your shopping list this year? A dainty gold disc necklace, perhaps? We’ve got you covered 🎁
Some colored stones, like this peachy pink spinel, are difficult to capture on camera (here, the orange tones are muted). So picture yourself in the glow of an epic sunset, enjoying a refreshing orange/raspberry sorbet. There, that’s the color ✨ It is an unusual, eye-catching color and it went to just the right person! She had us set it into a custom asymmetrical JWS ring with diamond accents and it’s all so pretty together.
Eye-catching color like this can stand on its own, no fancy design necessary. This pretty pink sapphire ring is available in our showroom, so come try it on! ✨
This handsome diamond ring stopped in recently with its owner. We made the ring for him over two decades ago and it’s still looking fabulous! Custom jewelry typically contains more gold than production pieces so as they wear over time they maintain themselves beautifully. And whatever your ring’s origin, it can always be refinished to bring out that gorgeous gleamy gold! Put it in your calendar to have us refinish your jewelry before your next birthday/anniversary/big event - you’ll be glad you did. ✨
If you are fortunate enough to inherit a diamond from a family member (like this customer’s grandma), but it isn’t standing out on its own, add in some side diamonds! This pendant design features and honors the center diamond, while not relying on it exclusively. A mix of new stories and old stories, what could be better? ✨
We recently repurposed this customer’s wedding jewelry into a pendant. Just in time for her daughter’s wedding! It’s another example of how much meaning and importance jewelry can have for us. Big life events are a good time for special jewelry. They just are!
A common go-to design element of ours is color, but sometimes we prioritize texture! Texture is one of those “the closer you look, the more you like it” kind of things and that’s exactly what we’re after. ✨
