History

Larry Schimke began the family business in 1951!

Little Kevin Schimke at his father's jewelry store in 1960.

The Schimke Family jewelry store legacy began in El Cerrito, California in 1951. Larry Schimke (Kevin’s dad) was a watchmaker and served the bay area until his passing in 1977. Kevin worked alongside his father learning the ins and out of the business and became just as passionate about jewelry as a teenager. Kevin got married to his wife Bella and went on to attend the Gemological Institute of America earning the title of Graduate Gemologist. After graduating in 1979, he came to Stockton and opened Kevin Schimke Jewelers on the Miracle Mile. Decades later, his daughter Erika is following in his footsteps with the same background and education!

When you walk into our store you can expect to see the same faces of the Schimke family every time we are open! So you will get to know us just as we get to know you! Our family would love to help you with your jewelry needs. We hope to see you soon!

Kevin Schimke

Early on as a child, in the late 50’s Kevin Schimke remembers playing in the back room of his father’s jewelry store in El Cerrito, California. Little did he know at the time, this was helping form his future career. By 1971, in the 11th grade, he was working full time during the summer, and part time after school in an apprenticeship role performing jewelry repairs. He went on to marry Bella in 1977. In 1978, Kevin attended world renowned Gemological Institute of America, earning the title of Graduate Gemologist. Moving to Stockton in 1979, he established Kevin Schimke Jewelers on the Miracle Mile.

Erika Schimke Reese

Kevin’s daughter Erika Schimke Reese joins him in operating the store. Erika has a bachelor’s degree in Business from Stanislaus State University, as well as two AA’s. She is also a Graduate Gemologist from world renowned Gemological Institute of America, just like her dad Kevin! Growing up in the industry, she has been around and learned about jewelry for most of her life. With her personality just like her dad, you are sure to get the same great level of service for years to come.

Brittney Juarez

Brittney, another Schimke family member, has been serving Stockton’s Miracle Mile for years! Her fantastic customer service and love for jewelry makes her a great addition to KSJ. When she isn’t at the counter helping customers, Brittney can be found stringing pearls! Like all of us, her jewelry knowledge and passion continue to grow and she has flourished working for the family business! She absolutely loves helping customers find the perfect jewelry items in our store. If you tell her your love story, she may even shed some tears as she loves love like no one else we know!

Jake Schimke

When Jake isn’t traveling being a cameraman for famous singers, he visits his hometown of Stockton and helps at the family jewelry store doing bench work. With over a decade working on repairs and custom design, his skill is always put to the test! He carefully takes his time on each and every job that comes to his bench.

TESTIMONIALS

If anyone is looking for an amazing jewelry store I hands down recommend Kevin Schimke on the Miracle Mile! From the day Mark went to him with his idea on an engagement ring to getting it resized within 2 days and cleanings! They are family owned and quite possibly the nicest people you will ever meet! Since getting engaged they have fixed a couple of precious jewelry items and they were fixed quickly and treated with such care as if it was their own. We can't wait to get our wedding rings with K.S! Plus we got the coolest opportunity to be on a billboard in Stockton for our engagement! Support your local businesses. Especially this lovely family they care about creating the best pieces for your most precious moments!
Brie Baumgarten Customer
Most honest jeweler in town!! I took my ring to my regular jeweler for cleaning and she said I knocked the placement off and needed new prongs, it was going to cost me $500! I posted asking my FB friends for a reliable jeweler to take a second look and Erika (a high school friend) responded to go see her dad - I did and come to find out my ring was just fine!! Just needed a little tightening! It's hard to find hard working HONEST business owners! I adore this family and their work ethic! I will never go to another jeweler ever! Even though I don't purchase a ton of jewelry, when I do it will be here!! Thank you Schimke Jewelers for being honest and trustworthy! I know I can refer friends and family and they will be taken great care of!
Ashley Brais Customer
Kevin and his family are amazing and do amazing work! I brought in my 1930's marquise cut platinum engagement ring in need of a band to match it. Kevin made me a band that blends so seamless it looks like it's been with the ring since the 1930's. The craftsmanship on the band is flawless, the baguettes line up perfectly to the baguettes on the engagement ring, and the marquise point fits in the band like a glove. I get so many compliments on my ring and its matching wedding band. Thank you guys!
Michelle T Customer
Had a custom engagement ring and eventually wedding bands designed by Kevin Schimke. They are absolutely beautiful! Wouldn't trust anyone else in Stockton. Excellent service and family experience. Thank you Kevin Schimke and family!!
Lindsay H. Customer
I have been with Kevin Schimke as my jeweler for around 40 years. I now live in Oregon and I fly down twice a year and I make sure I make a visit to his store. He has always been extremely professional and very knowledgeable of what I need. He has custom made many pieces of excellent jewelry for me. I would not trust another single jeweler. And his daughter is right up there with him. He truly is remarkable.
Maggie Bierly Customer
A really nice selection of jewelry with many one of a kind gemstones rarely seen in most large jewelry stores. The perfect place for finding that unique gift. They also do appraisals which are required in order to insure most pieces of jewelry from loss or damage. This small family business is one of the last of it's kind and one of the better jewelers in Stockton.
