E. L. Menk Jewelers origins date back to my childhood someplace between when my grandfather gave me his old dollar pocket watch and when I broke open a pretty rock with my dad's hammer, followed by an emergency visit to the doctor on a Sunday afternoon to have a splinter of that rock removed from my eye.
E. L. Menk Jewelers offers the comfort of our in-house services because we know how important and precious your jewelry is to you. All of our production and repair work is done right here in our store's modern shop by our trustworthy experts that specialize in repairs, custom jewelry production and appraisals.
E. L. Menk Jewelers is located on the corner of 7th and Laurel Street with the entrance door opening directly onto the corner. The store features six stained glass display windows and a stained glass transom above the front door. Inside the store you will find more stained glass art work including a chandelier and a large antique wall clock that dates to the 1920's.
Please take a few moments to view some of E. L. Menk Jewelers items, whether you are in need of an Engagement ring, wedding band, a thoughtful gift or because you deserve something for yourself.

I had a crazy request for help to set up some sentimental rings for a photo and wondered if I could use one of their trays. Not only did Mary say “absolutely” but gave some suggestions to make it more personal. I took in my wedding dress from 48 years ago and within 5 minutes she made a beautiful arrangement and helped me get a great photo for my project. Such a kindness! I didn’t make a purchase but KNOW if you’re shopping for meaningful jewelry, you will find it at Menk Jewelers! Thank you so very much!! ❤️👏👏👏👏

They did an excellent job resizing my grandmother’s ring for me! I’m looking forward to going back in the near future to pick out a wedding band to go with it!

Best customer service ever! I came in with my grandmother's ring which had a HORRIBLE resizing job done by Riddles in the mall. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the wonderful job E.L. Menk did to fix my ring. I'm forever grateful. ❣

The service is outstanding! I recently came in looking for a locket for my granddaughter’s birthday. Mary took the time to find a smaller heart locket as well as a chain for a necklace. It was the perfect gift!

Best Locally owned jewelry store in the Lakes Area. Great selection for both Men and Women. From the friendly, knowledgeable staff, to the elegantly decorated window scapes in the front of the store. This place is top notch! I highly recommend for all your jewelry and watch needs.

Stopped in for a couple quick but important questions. Mary was nice, informative and took her time to explain some important details that I needed to know. Will be back in the future!

I appreciated the great "no pressure" staff. Mary was patient and very knowledgeable as I looked for the perfect chocolate diamond. I found it at E.L. Menk Jewelers! And Ed is always fun to chat with.

Rude with poor customer service. Would not recommend even coming in to ask questions, let alone actually purchasing something from E.L. Menk.

Excellent customer service. My ring was custom designed and everything I wanted. I go in to have the settings checked and my rings cleaned on a regular basis and I am always treated with courtesy and a smile. A bonus is they are locally owned and operated. I would highly recommend shopping for your jewelry here.
