Cook's Jewelry Cook's Jewelry specializes in fine diamond & gemstone jewelry, engagement rings, and in-house repair!

Cook's Jewelry has been owned and operated by the Cook Family for nearly 70 years, beginning in 1951 and spanning three generations. The store was founded in Tipton, Iowa by Louie and Virginia Cook. It proudly stood as an iconic landmark in Tipton for over five decades until their retirement. Upon learning the trade from his parents, and attending Gem City College to study watchmaking a goldsmithing, their son Steve Cook opened a second store in downtown Iowa City in 1984. After quickly outgrowing this location, Steve moved the business to Eastdale Plaza on the east side of Iowa City, where it has now been for over 30 years. Steve was joined by his wife Cindy and completed several store expansions in the 1990's. Their son Ben Cook and his wife Kaitlyn have now taken over ownership of the store after apprenticing his parents for over a decade. Cook's Jewelry has a reputable history of serving eastern Iowa with their fine jewelry products, time pieces, and impeccable service. Our philosophy has always been to put the customer first by providing the highest quality products, with the highest standard of service and care.

The University of Iowa's Jewelry and Metal Arts program is at risk of closure.

As a small, family owned business it is important to us to continue legacies, especially one in such a specialized field. We have had four graduates from this amazing program work for us over the years. Two of these graduates are still working for us today whose skills were directly influenced by the University of Iowa's program.
