Established in 1969 by Richard Armstrong, we started as a small kiosk on Library Mall. Since then, the Workshop has matured into a "full line" jewelry store specializing in custom design work, repairs and appraisals. We are known for one-of-a-kind, hand crafted fine jewelry created on the premises, inspired by you.
The Jewelers Workshop tradition lives on through Jason Braden, Richard's son-in-law. Jason continues to ensure that Jewelers Workshop remains the premier custom jeweler in Madison. Combining old world craftsmanship with today's technology has resulted in breathtaking jewelry. Our award-winning designers use precious metals and unique gems to craft epic one-of-a-kind pieces.

We are a full service jewelry store. Best known as a place you can bring your ideas and work one-on-one with a jeweler to create jewelry only you can dream of. We also offer expert repairs and services. Below are our most common services. We perform both estate and insurance appraisals. Our personnel are GIA trained and accredited.
Custom
Report
After meeting with one of our designers, the first thing we do is create a sketch of your ideas. If your design requires gemstones or diamonds, you can either pick out your stones in-store that same day or (in the case that your choice of stones is not in stock) we will special order them for you. Depending on the style of your piece, we use Lost Wax Casting, CAD, or Construction (or a combination of them) to create your jewelry.
Repair
Report
We do repairs of all kinds. Our onsite laser welding capabilities make it possible to easily repair platinum, gold or titanium jewelry with gems in place, as well as repairing eyeglass frames and other unusual items. We also do antique restorations. Bring in your item and we will gladly review the repair process that will best fit your needs.
Copy of Repair
Report
We do 100s of ring resizings each year. Most of the time you can not "stretch" a ring. We make a cut in the back of the ring and either add in a little more metal to make it larger or take out a little to make it smaller. We have two state of the art laser welders which means we can size platinum rings and titanium rings made at Jewelers Workshop.
Appraisals
Report
We perform both estate and insurance appraisals. Our personnel are GIA trained and accredited. We write our appraisals to allow us to recreate the piece if it is ever damaged or lost. Our appraisals are very detailed with descriptions, measurements and weights of metals and stones.

The peace of mind that comes from knowing that their jewelry's value has been properly determined by professionals.
