Remembering when.it was 1928 but it seems like only yesterday! Granddad, Ralph Nelson, purchased an existing jewelry store in Spencer, Iowa, and renamed it Nelson Jewelry. His vision was to carry on the Nelson tradition, walking in the footsteps of his Dad, Nels Nelson, who owned a jewelry store in Forest City.

I can't say enough great things about the staff, service, and product quality of Nelson Jewelry! My fiance and I didn't really know what we were looking for in engagement rings or wedding bands and there was so much to choose from and consider, but the staff were so helpful and patient with us. Thank you so much - you made a potentially overwhelming experience a joy!

After 20 years of living with my ho-hum generic wedding set, I broke my hand. My finger size changed which was the perfect opportunity to freshen my look! I really wanted a one of a kind, "all in one" wedding/mother's ring combo. After only a couple of emails, pictures and conversations, Nelson's went to work on my custom design. It's been almost 6 months since I had a ring on my finger and I am so pleased with the outcome.
It's totally unique and TOTALLY me. The design is perfect and integrates all my favorite things: hammered white gold, yellow gold bezel settings, 3 birthstones & my center diamond from my old set. Just happy, happy, happy :- Well done & Thank you!

While we now live in another state, I purposely wanted to have Nelson Jewelry assist with some re-sizing of several rings. I truly TRUST them with my precious pieces. Was VERY pleased with the interaction with staff members as we identified what should be completed with each piece. I knew they would offer fair and reasonable pricing. And, since I was concerned about Jewelry being placed in the mail, we identified the BEST way to send to me securely. What a JOY to open the package! THANK YOU to Tom and his team!

Starting when Ralph Nelson went to work for my grandfather at Howe Brothers Jewelry, buying him out to form Nelson Jewelry, our family has always done business with Nelson Jewelry and have always had nothing but great service, wonderful selections, and friendly staff. I am happy to report that service continues to this day, almost 100 years later!@!

Nelson Jewelry is a fantastic fourth-generation jewelry store. They care a great deal about their reputation and it shows in their selection, prices and customer service. I have gotten several rings, including my engagement and wedding rings there. They have a wide selection of gift items as well. Every family should have their own personal local jeweler, and this would be a great choice if you don't have one yet.
