Why Our Jewelers in Dubuque and Davenport Are Different (And Better)
If you’ve ever walked into a jewelry store and felt overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or unsure of who to trust — you’re not alone.
At Doland Jewelers, we’ve heard it all from our customers:
“I visited three places before coming here, and I wish I had just come to you first.”
So what makes us different? And why do so many people across Iowa say we’re better than the big-box chains, online retailers, or mall jewelers?
Let us explain — in plain, honest terms.
💙 1. Family-Owned, Not Corporate
We’re not part of a nationwide chain. We’re not answering to shareholders or scripts.
We’re a local, family-owned business that’s been serving the Dubuque and Davenport communities for decades.
That means:
- Every decision we make is about people, not just profit
- Our staff isn't paid on high-pressure commissions
- We actually remember your name when you come back in
We're proud to be the kind of place where generations of families come back for anniversaries, birthdays, and milestones.
💍 2. Real Experts, Not Salespeople
Our team isn’t just friendly — we’re highly trained.
When you shop with us, you’re working with professionals who know diamonds, gold, and gemstones inside and out.
We don’t just recite product descriptions. We help you:
- Compare natural vs. lab-grown diamonds
- Understand the 4Cs (cut, color, clarity, and carat)
- Match the right setting to the right lifestyle
- Create custom designs or repurpose family pieces
- Know when a “deal” really isn’t one
And we do all this in plain English — no jargon, no pressure, no upselling.
🛠️ 3. On-Site Jewelers & Repairs You Can Trust
Unlike many stores that ship your jewelry away for work, Doland Jewelers has professional jewelers on site.
That means:
- We can inspect, size, clean, and repair your jewelry quickly
- You don’t have to worry about your sentimental pieces leaving town
- We can make adjustments while you wait in many cases
We also specialize in semi-mount engagement rings, giving you the flexibility to choose the setting and center stone separately — then have them professionally set right here in-house.
🧼 4. We Take Care of You — For Life
We’re proud to offer a free lifetime warranty on our engagement rings, which includes:
- Free cleaning and inspection every 6 months
- Rhodium plating for white gold
- Tightening and replacing small stones (under 0.20ctw)
- Free ring sizing
- Honest service, always
And here’s the kicker:
We’ll clean and check your jewelry for free — even if you didn’t buy it from us.
Why? Because we believe everyone deserves to feel confident in the jewelry they wear.
💬 5. We Make It Easy
Whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring or just need a battery replaced in your watch, we make the experience simple and pleasant.
Customers constantly tell us:
“You made this so much easier than I expected.”
“I didn’t feel judged or pressured — just helped.”
“You explained things so clearly. It made all the difference.”
That’s what we’re here for.
