- About Us -

We are a father-daughter-owned small business that prides itself on providing you with the finest products and services available. With a laid-back, homey atmosphere, we, and our staff, are here to assist and educate you on a purchase or repair, not simply sell you something. True professional knowledge and expertise are what you can expect when visiting us, and we’re here to answer any of your fine jewelry questions and concerns.

​

We are your premier source for bridal, fine-colored gemstones, and Southern Illinois' only source for the Sirius Star - the world's brightest diamond. Our specialties range from jewelry repair to custom design work. You don’t have to worry about who’s working on your treasured jewelry items or where they’re being shipped to because everything is done in-house, by our professional and expert jewelers.
 

Unlike many other stores, we’re able and proud to say that the majority of our pieces are all created here in the United States by small designers and manufacturers, instead of mass-produced overseas - with the exception of some pieces that are produced for us in Italy, Canada, etc. We handpick all of our pieces of jewelry, including all diamonds and gemstones, to ensure that you are getting the finest quality.

 

Because of all of this, and thanks to our wonderful clients, we have been voted as one of the best jewelry stores in Southern Illinois every year since 2018! We cannot thank you enough for that.


At J. Bacher Fine Jewelry, we believe you deserve the best and are happy to provide you with it. Come and visit with our professional, friendly staff today. We’d love to meet with you!
