Schenck Jewelers has met the most stringent requirements in gemological knowledge, so the consumer is guaranteed to be shopping with an expert.  We are required as an A.G.S. jeweler to pass comprehensive exams annually, in order to ensure that we are up to date on the latest industry findings.  We have two Certified Gemologist Appraisers who operate a Certified Gem Lab.  Our lab is fully equipped for identification of gemstone properties and utilizes the Gran full spectrum diamond colorimeter to electronically color grade diamonds.

Our employees do not use high pressure sales tactics, we don't have to, our jewelry speaks for itself. We pride ourselves in not giving misinformation, "Jacking up" our prices to give unbelievable discounts, or making promises we can't keep.

We take extra precautions with our customer's jewelry. Before you leave a diamond with us for any reason, we examine it under a microscope. The diamond is measured and the millimeter size noted. If any flaws are present, they are drawn to scale on a diagram on the back or your receipt.  You are required to examine it under the microscope and sign the drawing before leaving. Your jewelry is then insured while in our possession. When you return to get your diamond, we go through the same steps again, as you will be required to sign the receipt again. This way, you can always identify your diamond. These measures and other have earned us a sterling reputation.

"Handmade" is a term that can only legally be applied to jewelry objects made entirely by hand without the use of any machine tools.  Where this term is used on this web site, some of the items have had the use of machine tools in completing the item (casting equipment, beading tools, setting tools, etc.), so the term "handmade" may not legally apply.   However, they are custom designed in this store and are one of a kind pieces-as the "lost wax" process was utilized.  We also never duplicate any of our custom designed pieces, assuring you will have the only one.

  Located in the Highland Plaza Shopping Center on Hixson Pike, M. M. Schenck Jewelers welcomes the chance to share with you the finest collection of gemstones, jewelry, and custom designs you will ever see.
