Kloiber is the best! 33 years ago Clyde Kloiber sold my husband my beautiful engagement ring. Now just recently, we were wow-ed by the outstanding service and result we received having an old keepsake stick pin turned into a pendant! Karin and Emily are so knowledgeable, personable and helpful. You won't be disappointed with Kloiber Jewelers.

As we set out to find the right jeweler for our engagement ring, it was Karin's personalized & thoughtful service that won us over. Karin was willing to meet with us on a Saturday and focused upon meeting our needs rather than trying to "sell" us something. As we worked through the process, Karin's knowledge & attention to detail were highly beneficial as she educated us & helped us avoid any potential pitfalls. Once the ring was ordered, Karin & Emily were very easy to communicate with RE: order status and pickup. Would highly recommend to anyone for their jewelry needs. We'll be back!

Had a great experience working with Karin and Emily. Karin was very knowledgeable and made the process smooth. She was also accommodating as I was making changes and adjustments remotely. I'd definitely recommend Kloiber Jewelers for anyone looking for an engagement ring.

I have been a loyal customer of Kloiber Jewelers since 1975. At that time, I was referred there by Jerry Cohen, the owner (and my then boss) of Major Goolsby's. I was so impressed with Clyde and Karen that I continue to shop there today. While the location has changed, nothing else has! I can only say phenomenal things about Karen the present owner and her employee Emily. You can expect the best service and attention to detail, plus a great selection of jewelry and gift items. Nothing about these 2 ladies will make you feel uncomfortable or pushed to make a decision. I guarantee you will have a lovely experience! Susan Baumann

My now fiance was recommended to check this place out for ring shopping. Her and her friend went and gave me some rings she liked, so it made my job pretty easy. I just needed to find a diamond which Karin was super helpful with. I also had a tight schedule, which Karin was able to meet. She made the whole experience painless and less stressful then I thought it would be. I even got to look at the diamond under the microscope which was pretty cool. The best part was my fiance loves the ring. Overall a great experience.

I was very specific in what I was looking for as far as my stone. My fiance and I went to 6 jewelers in the Milwaukee area before finding Kloiber Jewelers. Just as the others, I gave Karin my laundry list of requests and she was the only jeweler who truly listened and checked off every single thing while keeping it in budget! I am blown away by her level of detail and can't recommend her enough! She and Emily are an absolute delight to work with and made me and my fiance's experience so wonderful.
