NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
In 1963, L.H. Patterson started his wholesale jewelry company in downtown Waterloo, Iowa. He created his own line of mother’s rings, while providing the highest quality repair and manufacturing service to jewelry retailers in the Midwest. In the 1970s and 1980s, five of his six children worked in the business while in high school and college. He eventually added shops in Davenport, Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. After L.H. passed away in 1999, his son James (JB) began providing local services in Coralville and Cedar Rapids.
In June 2020 James began transitioning ownership to his children Ashlee & Jacob. They will be third generation owners & better equipped to reach new customers in the digital age.
Since 1963, no one in Eastern Iowa has set more diamonds, sized more rings, done more of any type of jewelry repairs than the Pattersons. Department stores, chain stores and local jewelry shops all depend on the quality work institutionalized by L.H. Patterson. Today, Patterson Wholesale Jewelers also offers products and services directly to the consumer – custom manufacturing, certified diamonds, wedding bands, expert repair, and gold and diamond buying. We take pride in providing the highest quality products and services at prices unavailable in retail stores.
We treat our customers with the honesty and respect they deserve. We want clients to feel the same pride when wearing the pieces from our store that we do in making them.
When you order from us, whether it's your first or tenth time, you become part of our family. During your search for the perfect gemstone or setting, we help you through each step of the process.
