SummitJewelers

Founded in 1979, in the basement of Marty's house, we grew and grew until a store front was needed. Since then, Summit has continued to provide high quality craftsmanship, in-house design, repairs, manufacturing and appraisals. We love what we do!

Our original store tagline was "Makers of Fine Gold Jewelry" which is just the tip of the iceberg. Not only do we work in all colors of gold but also platinum, sterling silver and argentium silver. We pride ourselves on creating our own designs from the bottom up, beginning with a sketch and ending with a one-of-a-kind piece to be shown in our display cases. All the steps between depend on what the design dictates; some need to be carved out of wax and cast in the appropriate metal, some need to be built using wire and sheet. Some are created using gemstones we have collected from shows and markets around the world--Hong Kong, Thailand, Brazil and Cambodia. Occasionally, we close up shop and ALL go to the Tucson Gem and Mineral show (so much fun!!!) or the gem markets of Thailand! The breadth of our work also includes a huge amount of customer-driven custom projects which are sometimes straight-forward (lots of one-of-a-kind wedding sets), sometimes historical (we rebuilt the hilt of a War of 1812 sword) and sometimes bizarre (cast wax nipples in sterling). Bring us any project, we enjoy a challenge and can tackle almost anything.

Our shop is located in an old house built in 1928 that is in the Old Orchard part of Webster Groves, MO. Please stop by, if you happen to be in the area. Our golden retriever, Buddy, especially likes visitors!
