What We Do
From a first sketch to a finished heirloom, everything happens right here in our Peoria boutique — no shipping your ring off to a stranger.
Our in-house 3D designer turns your idea into a photorealistic CAD render you approve before we ever cut metal. One-of-a-kind, made to fit you.
Design the ring you'll say yes to. We source ethical diamonds and gemstones, hand-set every stone, and match wedding bands for a perfect pair.
Ring resizing, prong re-tipping, chain solder, stone replacement, restringing and rhodium plating — done on site by our bench jeweler, not shipped away.
Battery changes to full movement service — our master watchmaker (on call) handles luxury and vintage timepieces with the care they deserve.
Written appraisals for insurance, estate and resale, prepared with the precision of decades on the bench. Know exactly what your pieces are worth.
Reimagine an inherited or outdated piece. We remount cherished stones into a modern setting so your family history keeps being worn and loved.
The Kara Difference
We're not a mall chain. We're a family, and every piece that leaves our bench carries our name on it.
Two-plus decades serving the West Valley, still owned and operated by the same family who greet you at the door.
Your repair or custom piece is crafted here in our boutique — never shipped to an off-site facility you'll never see.
Certified watch expertise for service, restoration and vintage timepieces, from a quick battery to a full overhaul.
See a photorealistic 3D render and approve every detail of your custom design before a single gram of gold is cast.
How It's Made
Full transparency from idea to finished heirloom — and you can follow every stage in our Client Portal.
We sit down together, talk vision, stones and budget, and sketch the concept.
Our 3D designer builds a photorealistic CAD render of your piece.
You review and approve the render — nothing is made until you love it.
Your design is cast in your chosen precious metal, ready for the bench.
Our bench jeweler hand-sets each stone and finishes every detail.
We clean, inspect and hand you a finished piece you'll treasure for life.
Kind Words
They designed my engagement ring from scratch and let me approve the 3D render first. It came out even better than I pictured — and everything was done right there in the store.
I inherited my grandmother's diamonds and had no idea what to do with them. Kara remounted them into a pendant I wear every day. A true family business that treats you like family.
Brought in a vintage watch three other shops wouldn't touch. Their watchmaker had it running perfectly. Honest, skilled, and no pressure — I won't go anywhere else.
Good to Know
Walk-ins are always welcome for repairs, batteries and quick questions. For custom design or bridal consultations, we recommend booking an appointment so we can give you our full, unhurried attention.
Most custom projects take about 3–5 weeks from approved 3D render to finished piece, depending on complexity and stone sourcing. Rush timelines for proposals are often possible — just ask.
Yes. Our bench jeweler works on site, so your ring, chain or heirloom never leaves our care to be mailed to an off-site facility. Watch service is handled by our master watchmaker.
Absolutely. We love working with family stones. We'll clean, inspect and remount your diamonds or gemstones into a new custom setting so they can be worn and enjoyed again.
Yes — our Client Portal lets you follow your custom design status, approve 3D renders, track repair tickets, and view or pay invoices, all in one place. Ask us for your access code.
