Bringing smiles to customers’ faces has been a tradition for Van Der Veen Jewelers for many years. Whether the occasion is an anniversary, engagement or “just because,” those who purchase their jewelry from Jann Van Der Veen receive a one of a kind piece that is handmade and of superior quality.

“Being a small, independent company allows us to focus on our customers,” says Jann. “We build relationships and take the time to make sure our customers get exactly what they want, creating a custom piece if needed. We don’t carry what you find anywhere else…That, combined with our in-house repair shop, gives us a unique edge.”

As a family owned business for over 50 years, Jann Van Der Veen is a GIA Graduate certified Gemologist and Master Jeweler. He started in the industry as an apprentice performing diamond setting and working his way up to management and ownership.

In addition to creating unique pieces, We carry superior grade diamond jewelry. We offer designer engagement and bridal rings, pendants, earrings, fashion jewelry, and gentleman’s jewelry. We also exclusively carry Citizen brand watches that are eco-driven, solar powered.

Our stones are all natural and hand chosen.. “Our philosophy is to offer the best quality for your budget. Not all diamonds are the same, our merchandise is hand selected and we carry only premium-cut diamonds.”

“Being in the Gig Harbor community has been a dream achieved. We love providing our experience and expertise in our hometown…nothing is more satisfying than sharing your trade and passion with people you know and your neighbors.”
