WHO WE ARE

Celebrating over 50 years and couldn’t be prouder.

The story of Schmitt Jewelers is a unique blend of family history, American ingenuity, and a commitment to the advancement of jewelry industry technology.

The founders of Schmitt Jewelers followed an opportunity in 1970 to locate to the burgeoning city of Phoenix, Arizona where economic growth, climate and hospitality promised success for a family jewelry business.  As the Phoenix rises, so did Schmitt Jewelers. The business steadily grew from an unassuming mom and pop operation to an industry-leading, cutting-edge retail jeweler specializing in custom jewelry design, on-site manufacturing and unique designer lines.

Now in our 52nd year, Schmitt Jewelers serves the Phoenix area neighborhoods of North Central, Paradise Valley, Arcadia and beyond with its unique jewelry selections, superior customer service and fine craftsmanship of distinctive custom pieces. 

The Schmitt brothers, who own and operate the business, credit much of Schmitt Jewelers’ success to the early decisions made by their parents, who founded the business on honest, ethical practices and providing stellar customer service.  The Schmitt’s also credit the store’s longevity to their willingness to embrace the advancement of their industry’s technologies, allowing Schmitt Jewelers to become an industry leader in how it enhances a jewelry customer’s experience in and out of the store.

About our founder. About our father.

Larry Schmitt. Our father. Our mentor.

Larry may have grown up in a small town in Iowa, but he surely had big dreams. After attending Loras College in Dubuque, he began his love of jewelry and became a Horologist (Watchmaker). In 1970, he and his wife, Marie, made the move to Phoenix with their four small children. At that point, Larry took a bigger leap of faith and opened Schmitt Jewelers. His greatest love, beyond his family, was people. He loved engaging in personal conversations in business and out in the community. He recognized his good fortune and paid it forward in many ways, including working with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul – an organization he cherished. Many of our customers had the good fortune of knowing and working with our father, who passed away in 2017. He was what we consider to be a true gem in our lives, and in Phoenix.
