Kiess Jewelers, Coldwater, MI

Originally, Kiess Jewelry started in the small town of Edon, Ohio by D.T. Kiess in the late 1800s. He later opened a second location in Montpelier, Ohio and in 1930, D.T.’s two sons, Ken and Rex, decided to expand the business into Michigan. Ken opened in Hillsdale and Rex in downtown Coldwater. Throughout the years, the businesses transitioned and all the locations except Coldwater closed.

Since opening in downtown Coldwater, Kiess Jewelry has continued to maintain a strong connection to its Ohio origins. Rex Kiess sold the store to Ken and Marilyn Miller in 1966. Both Ken and Marilyn were from Montpelier and Ken was a former employee at the Montpelier store. In 1978, Brad and Patty Rockey joined the team. Brad, born and raised in Montpelier, was recruited by Ken through their hometown connections. Brad and Patty acquired ownership of the store in 1990 and continue today to uphold the integrity originally established by Rex Kiess.

Kiess Jewelry wants every customer to feel at home when they walk through their doors. From class rings to engagement rings, baby’s first locket and charm bracelets, jewelry can be that keepsake you enjoy and pass down throughout generations. Kiess Jewelry is here to help you find exactly what you’re looking for and invites you to join their family of treasured customers!

Perhaps our most popular attraction is our service. We assemble and set most of the jewelry in our store and are well prepared to handle most any special request for creating, altering or repairing virtually any piece of jewelry.

Of course the biggest factor in our success is the trust placed in us by our customers. Our repair services are an excellent example of this trust. Each day people leave their prized possessions with us for services which include sizing, repair, engraving and watch repair.

We are able to do in-house gold work as our skilled goldsmiths possess many diverse talents.
