In 1850, the Grand Rapids area was a growing settlement. Home to about 5,000 people, the town was not more than a Native American trading post. For a young watchmaker from the Detroit area, named William Preusser, this exciting new land was rich with hope for a long future in fine jewelry.

Today Preusser Jewelers stands as a testament to the values of its founder. Like William Preusser, we believe in creating and maintaining strong relationships by offering the finest jewelry and outstanding personal service to all our customers.

Preusser Jewelers stands as the oldest jeweler in the state of Michigan and the longest standing business of any kind in Kent County. But we don’t rest on tradition alone. All the pieces we offer reflect our passion for creativity and innovation.

With 160 years of experience, Preusser Jewelers combines time-honored craftsmanship with the contemporary design. Our downtown showroom is a place where you can come to see some of the latest and most innovative works in jewelry and fine watches.
