100 years and still a cut above

In time for the holidays, Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers has moved to a new location with easy parking. The longest-running retail business in Monroe recently moved from its historic location on Main Street to a beautiful new building on N. Kelsey Street.

This new location makes it easier for shoppers to view the stones, custom creations and precision timepieces on display. One of the things that makes Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers special is that it is privately owned and takes pride in offering a higher quality product. It’s one of the reasons that the company has been around for more than 100 years.

As soon as you walk in, the difference between Wyatt’s and a mall-style jewelry store is apparent. The jewelry designs on display at Wyatt’s are unique. You find things there you haven’t seen anywhere else. There is no parent company dictating styles and designs. Mall stores all tend to carry the same designs no matter where you go. At Wyatt’s you can get truly one-of-a-kind pieces.

Another difference between Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers and a mall store is in the quality. Wyatt’s professionals call themselves the “diamond specialists” and they can show you the difference between an industry standard cut diamond and an ideal cut diamond by Lazare that features maximum scintillation and beauty.

Lazare diamonds are considered to be the most beautiful diamonds in the industry. It cuts stones for perfection and quality. Lazare was the first firm to laser inscribe their stones, not only for authenticity but also in case of theft.

Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers carries an extensive collection of loose diamonds to choose from. These come in many different styles and colors. You’ll also find beautifully colored gemstones from around the world. These loose stones can be purchased as they are or mounted in one of Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers settings, which can include 14-, 19- or 22-carat gold or platinum.

One of the things that this store is nationally known for is custom design. People come from throughout the United States to get one-of-a-kind pieces designed and fabricated by Wyatt’s master craftsmen. There are few places left where you can work with a professional, selecting your stones and materials and giving your input on what may become a future family heirloom.

Bridal couples also enjoy designing their own rings. Wyatt’s designers can personalize bridal sets by including the bride’s and groom’s birthstones into the setting, or with other subtle romantic touches.

Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers can also assist you in redesigning outdated, inherited or unwanted jewelry into something unique that you really want to wear. You can improve sentimental pieces by replacing low-quality settings with high quality and add stones to improve the value and appearance. Wyatt’s professionals can advise you on all of the possibilities.

At this time of year, many people opt for ready-made jewelry. Wyatt’s has a large selection of high quality, uniquely designed jewelry ready for wrapping. You can be sure that your loved one won’t have anything else like it in their jewelry box.

Offerings include rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces and brooches.

Among the store’s biggest sellers are high-quality watches and timepieces. Wyatt’s Diamond Jewelers carries its own line of men’s and women’s watches. All feature fine Swiss movements and American-made cases and bands. Watches come with lifetime battery replacement.

Wyatt’s is also a Swiss Army brand retailer. It carries the genuine world famous Swiss Army watches and a line of water-resistant Swiss pocket watches.
