Gilbert Jewelers

Gilbert Jewelers, located in the heart of Peru, Indiana, is a unique jewelry store that has been serving the community since 2003. Founded by Master Jeweler Jeremy Gilbert, the store has become a destination for those seeking custom-designed jewelry, exceptional watches, and fine jewelry brands.

Jeremy Gilbert, with his focus on custom design, opened the store with a vision to provide access to unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry designs. Eschewing traditional reliance on mass-market suppliers, Gilbert Jewelers creates most of their jewelry in-house, eliminating the middleman cost and staying ahead of the style curve with the latest fashion trends combined with classic elegance. By manufacturing directly, Gilbert Jewelers can maintain rigid quality controls and offer distinctive designs with exceptional value to their discerning clientele.

At Gilbert Jewelers, the team takes pride in their full-service high-tech jewelry and watch repair department, where all repairs are completed in-house. While most jewelry is made in-house, some designers resonate with the store, and Gilbert Jewelers is excited to seasonally offer some of the most unique and highly sought-after brands like LeVian and Hot Diamonds, bridal designers like Kattan and Benchmark.

Custom Design Process

At Gilbert Jewelers, every design begins with an idea that takes shape in one of their studios. The process is simple, fun, and designed to provide fast service and creative insights from artistic professionals. The store's commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and value is reflected in the fact that everything is designed and manufactured in-house.

The design process begins with a conversation in one of their studios. The team then carefully lays out the designs using state-of-the-art 3D software, giving the artist full control over every aspect of the design. Exacting details that could not be implemented otherwise are available with full detail. Computer-aided design was previously available only to high-end large-scale manufacturers, but with changes in technology, Gilbert Jewelers now offers this advanced design service to their clientele.

Gemstone Setting and Hand Finishing

Gemstone setting is both a skill and an art that takes years to master. At Gilbert Jewelers, every gemstone is hand-set, with exceptional skill and attention to detail. Setting a diamond requires expertise with multiple tools and a perfect touch to put just the right amount of pressure on the gem. Hand-finishing is the final step in the manufacturing process, where the jewelry achieves its final lustre through the meticulous attention of the finisher who slowly applies varying finer grits of polishing compounds with fine hair brushes and wheels.

At Gilbert Jewelers, they believe that every jewelry piece should be as unique as the person wearing it. That's why they offer custom design services that allow their clients to create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that reflect their personal style. Whether it's a custom engagement ring, a unique piece of fine jewelry, or a repair and restoration of a cherished heirloom, the team at Gilbert Jewelers is dedicated to providing exceptional service and unparalleled craftsmanship.
