Draeb Jewelers is committed to life-long relationships. Bill Draeb has been my go-to consultant for my engagement/wedding, child birthstone and anniversary gifts. Wonderful client service. Always a pleasant experience.

Have been a customer for years and it's nice to be treated like family and not just another clueless guy shopping for his wife! My records are on file so not only do I not double buy items, but Bill and George can suggest pieces that compliment what I have already purchased! Easy peasy, thanks Draeb's Jewelers!

George and staff came highly recommended. I was in Sturgeon Bay when my Rolex stopped working. Draeb Jewelers was able to fixed it in a few days before leaving for home in NC. Much better experience than I have had with my local jewelers back home. Thank you so MUCH!

Bill Draeb, certified gemologist, is excellent to work with - informative and absolutely helpful in designing and creating my wife's 50th anniversary ring. He delivered it on time and budget. Completely positive experience. Highly recommended.

Told me I couldn't get the titanium blue angels citizen watch. Went to another jewelry store they ordered it with no problem from citizen Guess they loss a sale. And now I also purchased my wedding ring and my girlfriends elsewhere. She should have tried harder.
